A friend of mine is looking to get one of these, hes going to see on this morning and wants me to come and check it over as he knows very little about cars.
Thing is, I know fuck all about this things either I can check over the basic stuff, but does anyone know any specific problems/things to look for on Integras?

I remember there being a buying guide in EVO mag i think...
Somthing was said about the 2nd gear synchro and also the fact that because there all imports the usual import checks are required Service history as with any car is a must.
