How should I go about out fixing this myself since I don’t want to give her up

I currently own an Acura Integra 1996 LS with a gsr shell and I’ve been tryna find away to fix her due to an accident I got into due to a lady not looking when pulling out of a drive way. Because of this the rear quarter panel is pretty fucked up and my drivers side door and lower area where the pinch welds are are dented inward. I don’t want to give this car up and loved driving her but I’m thinking of retiring her for the winter and try and fix her up before summer hits again if it’s possible to fix her up. I was told that I shouldn’t use Bondo and that I should try and bash the dents out which I did try but it didn’t get very far. Any suggestions I’d appreciate it and I would take it to a body shop but they’ll prolly quote me hella money if they are even willing to do the work which so far I haven’t found a single shop that will do it.

Need help with a possible steering issue?

My Acura Integra 1996 ls 5 speed, it doesn’t have power steering that’s how I bought it… until 3 days ago my right tire popped and then I had to fight my steering wheel keeping it to the left since it was trying to move my car to the right side. I was able to drive like this for maybe 5 minutes because I only realized 5 minutes after leaving my house my tire went. After parking it and putting new tires on I took it for a drive only for me to hear a light contact sound I thought it was maybe the weights on my tire hitting my caliper which I believe it is but the other thing I realized is that I can move my wheel like my car has 100 sensitivity and it feels light to turn my car. I want to drive it but I’m worried that if I do my car would get messed up on the highway or on one of the windy roads if anyone has any idea what it could be and could help provide some I tests I can do to figure it out I’d really appreciate it. I had a friend suggest that it could be a tie rod or rack and pinion but I’m not entirely sure how to test and see if they’ve gone bad or not

Do I need an o2 sensor for my hood exit

Hey everyone I recently just got a good exit for my b18b1 Acura Integra and out of my own curiosity I’m wondering do I need to have an o2 sensor on my 1320 headers or can I just put a plug in the side where the 02 sensor hole is and will the car run fine? I’m wondering only because I won’t have a cat now that the exhaust is coming straight from the engine. If I’m misunderstanding how the exhaust works lmk but I’m just trying to learn more about the fun exhausts and grow my knowledge

B series piston ring needs be to replaced?

Hey everyone I currently have a b18b1 and my #3 cylinder I believe is the cause for my misfire and I believe it’s my piston ring because nothing changes when I change my distributer wire for that cylinder nor does the car change in vibration when I pull plug out or change spark plug. And maybe I’m wrong overall so if I am I would appreciate next steps to go about testing it. I do know it has lo compression too but last I checked it wasn’t too much of a difference. One thing that I’m curious about is if I even can replied the piston and rings if it is that issue. I’ve had a few people say yeha you can just replace the rings and if piston isn’t bad it should be fine and then I have other people saying don’t rebuild the engine because you’ll need a machine shop to balance the crank afterwards and bearings. So I’m curious what people who have rebuilt there b series engines would suggest I do so I don’t blow my motor or should I try and sell or trade it for a new one. Thanks for your time and I’d appreciate any advice given

Why won’t my car shift?

I currently own a Acura Integra 1996 5 speed manual and I was tryna make my way to work this morning but I’m not able too because when I try and shift my clutch just falls to the floor. I was driving fine yesterday drove for hours yesterday actually and only this morning when I was going to work did this happen. I checked what I believe is the clutch master cylinder and I checked the clutch pedal but I can’t tell if my fluid is low and if it is if it would be the reason as to why it’s not shifting I have been able to get it into a few gears but by force which isn’t great only because I was trying to see how much I could shift. I can shift to all gears when cars off but for some reason when the cars on it won’t shift. Not sure if the master cylinder or clutch resivor would cause this or if it’s something more serious like the clutch I’m not very familiar with manual cars but I’m trying to learn and want to fix it

How much would you buy this for

Out of curiosity I was wondering how much people would think if buying this for. When I first got this car it was in prestige condition u til recent events someone pulled out in front of me and crushed the rad support in. I have pulled it out and so the front fits okay but that’s just because I wasn’t able to afford a rad support and I don’t know how to weld. Another thing was someone did sum to the back of my car when I had it parked up a block or two away from where I was stayin at. The car is a 1996 ls with a gsr shell. I got the car for $5,000 and the engine and trans both have 96k on them with a new clutch. It’s a 5 speed. With that being said both the insurances said they wouldn’t pay for the damage or they would give it a totaled title which I wasn’t gonna do. I do want to fix it my only issue is I don’t have the tools to fix the rear quarter panel nor the knowledge of welding so with that being said what would you guys think I should do or how much would you say I should sell it for if I do.

I have an Acura integra ls 1996 and I’m trying to do my timing belt and alternator belt and water pump. I’m not entirely sure which one of these belts for the timing is reliable I already found a water pump and I was thinking of getting a continental alternator belt not sure if that’s any good or not, but I was also trying to figure out which one of these timing belts are reliable. I was also wondering what the difference is between the economy, standard, and high performance belts on rock auto was and I was thinking of getting the high performance belt just to say f it. I’m not sure if I need a certain engine set up to do it or if it’ll fit. Just let me know if possible what you guys think I should get and what else I should maybe do when changing belts any advice or tips would be appreciated
