87 Integra
Hi all,
I own a first gen Integra that has 130k miles on it. There seem to be
a problem with the fuel pump, which will take me $250 parts alone to
fix. However, I'm hesistant to get it fixed due to several problems.
First, the engine also needs a new water pump, as the old one is
leaking quite badly. There are also fairly loud "tap-tap" noise coming
from the engine head area. Furthurmore, The e-brake return spring on
the rear cliapers are quite weak so the brake won't loosen up after I
pull the ebrake.
Otherwise the car is fairly well maintained. all oil changes are on
schedule, fuel + air filter replaced on time; the rad, clutch, and
drive axles are all fairly new. The engine + tranny is seldomly pushed
hard.
My question is, is it worth fixing up all the problem there is on such
an old car? Given the car's age, problmes are going to be popping up
intermittently. With the ever increasing cost going into fixing the
car, I might as well buy another one.
Your opinions would be appriciated.
