was there any body changes in the years the gsr was out because i too am looking into buying a gsr :fawk:

 

The GSR was originally introduced as a second gen integra model in 1992/1993, and then changed to the current (3rd gen) integra model. The front/rear bumpers are slightly different for all integras from 1994~1997 and 1998~2001. Other than that and different rim styles, the GSR has the same body as RS/LS/GS/SE integras.

 

in 97 and 98, the ITR didn't have A/C standard because of weight reduction

 

there is nothing worse than being in hot weather without some fockin a/c

 

x628x,

I highly recommend that you try the 3 types. If you do, I'm pretty sur you will be disappointed by the LS. It really lacks power.

The GSR is really better. It feels more like a sport car.

The Type R is a completly different beast. I've tried some and it's really a great car. The only drawback it has is the tires. It would deserves 17'' tires.

Choose the one you want, but like I said, I strongly suggest that you make sure you've tried the LS properly so that you feel disappointed for years after.


Another idea is to buy a LS for now, and when money allows, put a Type R engine in it. You will have the luxury of the LS- sunroof, A/C -, and Type R like perfomance. Even better, there are a lot of modified cars on sale. I'm sure you can find an LS with 17'' pretty easily. Begin with that and put a type R engine later. Changing the engine is expensive, but you will have a new engine.

 

Looks like everyone pretty much nailed it.

94-95, 96-97, and then 98-01 have different GS-R alloys.

 

I don't think rs have abs mine doesn't. I had power locks put in though. I do wish i had more power but as far as insurance is concerned the gsr wasn't an option.

 

actually...97 GSR wheels were the mesh style used on 98-01 LS's.

 

my RS came with a leather wrapped steering wheel, power windows, ac, airbags.

I dont have power locks, sunroof, ABS.

stock vs stock the only faster civic out there is the Si's, and those suckers lack so much torque. Me in my rs and my buddy in his si were ripping it on a road trip. both cars were full of camping gear, I had my girl with me. he would smoke me on the strait aways, but on the mountain passes my beast would rip by him.

 

ahhh ok thanks, i was actually skeptical about the 97's
