How intercoolers work. Air-to-air intercooler vs air-to-water intercooler. Bar and plate vs. tube and fin. Intercoolers are used to cool the intake charge of forced induction engines.

This is my 1999 Acura Integra GS. My first car, a luxury Honda. This will be an in-depth tour of my car, inside and out, and a brief history of my many years of ownership since 2007.

A test and review of Yonaka Coilovers on an Acura Integra. Demonstrations of body roll and nose dive. Coilovers can allow for lowering a vehicle, and also can reduce body roll with stiffer springs.

Some coilovers allow you to adjust the spring preload on the coil springs. Adjusting coilover spring preload can allow for you to raise or lower your car an extra amount.

Stock shock absorbers don't allow for altering ride height - that's where coilovers come in. How to adjust coilovers. How to lower your car.

How to install coilovers. Performance suspensions often use coilovers with stiffer springs and damping to compensate.

Suspension bushings. How to replace the rear trailing arm bushing in a 1994-2001 Acura Integra, 1988-2000 Honda Civic, 1988-1991 Honda CRX, and 1992-1997 Honda Del Sol.
