Upgrade your 1994–2001 Acura Integra (DC2)
Keep the look, change how it drives. These upgrades turn a classic into a car you can drive anywhere: a modern chassis, disc brakes, a fuel-injected engine (new, or from a donor car), an overdrive transmission, quicker steering, real cooling, new wiring and A/C. Pick your car to see what's made for it.
