My name is Ryan Paquette. Before I started driving this wonderful piece of metal called the Acura Integra, I drove a 1987 Chevrolet Celebrity. The Celebrity was a "hand me down" from my grandfather and I had it for three years. As time went on and friends and I grew up, or should I say grew into, the car scene, my sweet tooth for a tuner car started sweetening. On July 29, 2005 I bought a 1992 Acura Integra RS for $2'900, Canadian. The great part about the price was that she only had 133'000km on it! The set back was that she was starting to take on some cancer in the usual Honda place, like the rear fender, the wheel arches, and the rocker panels. Not too long down the road will this all be adressed.

This Integra has a B18A1 motor. The 1992-1993 B18A1's are a DOHC 16-valve four cylinder engine that puts out a cool 140 horsepower and 125 foot pounds torque.


Now for the interior of this car. The RS model stood for the "really shitty" package. I have base model. No power anything, no sunroof, etc. I would like to have power options, but to be honest with you, I can live with it considering the bill of sale on this vehicle.
