go back into the forums...there is a post in there titled "GS<GSR???????" i forgot who posted it...but go into that thread and read about 1/2 the way down...theotherdave links to the page that lists ALL the differences....and the entire thread is about that....have fun

 

I just read the thread a minute ago but i must have missed the link, thank you

 

Okay still a few questions, looking just for basic simple questions:

In order of price, how do the models rank?

Which models usually have aluminum alloy wheels?

Do only the GSRs and the Type Rs have V Techs?

How much more expensive are GSRs compared to GS's and LS's

What are the main differences as far as interior goes?

EDIT: i ask because when i purchase an integra i dont want to get the 'bottom line' integra that gets the short stick on all the feautures. I would like alloy wheels as well. Vtech isnt necesary but would be great if those models arent too much more expensive when looking used. For the interior im not very picky.

 

-the price is basically LS/GS/RS are gunna be a few 000's less than the GSR and that will be a couple 1000 less than the type R... assuming your buying new as possible from a dealer

-the interior on all is very similar...GSR/GS offers leather..the other 3 do not

-you can get alloys in all the models...its just a $1000 option or if buying used..it adds about 200 to the cost...little harder to find alloys in the GS/RS/LS

-yes, only the GSR and the Type R have vtec...

-the type r is kinda a little racecar that is an amazing machine...if ur not that into cars...i'd suggest don't waste your money... GSR's are quick...cost a bit more than the LS/GS/RS models... you sacrafice about 30hp to have the cheaper model... but in the end i think you'll be happier with the power of a GSR

-an integra in itself is not baseline...if u want a good looking "quick" car...i'd suggest a 98+ GSR... although they are a bit harder to find for under 10,000...not sure what your willing to spend

think i got everything?

 

Thanks, im actually on quite a budget. If i buy one in early spring (my plan as of now) it will be for around $5k. Im looking for around a 1995 , although any Gen3 will be fine, with under 140k on it. My main goals for the car are basically allow wheels if it comes with it, excellent, if not i might put 16" rims on after the summer. I also plan on finding the cheapest and easiest way to lower it a little.

 

at least you asked everyone what kind to get. just make sure that the integra you get has a V-tech in it. anything with V-tech is good

 

^ dude its vtec, no "h". well anyways good luck on your find. i would personally try to find a 98+ as you will see many integras these days are either converting to 98+ or JDM.

dont cheap out on your parts either...they usually break and give out sooner that you think. treat her good and she'll treat you good thats the way i see it.

 

Im kinda leaning away from getting something with a vtec because im buying used and it having a vtec kinda implies that it was abused by some hot rod kid.

 

not necessarily.... back when i was shopping for my teg i came across a 97GSR for $8,000 ... original owner... 71 yr old lady...so u know it was driven slow...she didn't realize what she had....but the kicker....mileage=150,xxx.... i was depressed when i heard that

 

Okay well i am willing to say that 80% of the time (yes, most statistics are pulled out of the ass, this one is no exception) a vtec means street racer, type, person.

Ideally yes, a GSR in my pricerange would be sweet but i think on the used market, beggars cant be choosers. Plus im pretty specific with color, i really want a black one. Lucky for me they seem to be quite popular.
