I agree w/Dave all he has said. Except that the OEM lip kit does look good on Integra's, but not sure if he counts that as a body kit of any kind? That red Integra won't fly w/many people here and that green Integra is too over the top w/those huge wheels. In addition to that the hood does not fit right.

Thanks for the advice dave. What's the difference between the gs, ls, rs. I just always was drawn to the gsr cause it had the most power i thought.

the differences between the gs/rs and ls are all pretty apparent. the GS has the most amenties, the LS is basically middle of the road and the RS is minimal.

the GS-R and Type-R freature B18C engines making use of a vtec head design.


if you want it for a DD i suggest finding a nice GS or LS. if you want more power go ahead and buy a GS-R, just know that it's going to be hard to find one with everything you want, that is unless you opt for a 00-01 model which came decked out in stock GS-R form

FWIW both prices are high, salvage title sucks, and nearly any modifications are also frowned upon.

Clean, origional, well maintained Integras are worth waiting for. Be patient.

Yeah, first start out by looking for a stock Gsr. If it has the factory Integra Type R lip kit etc that's ok because it's stock. You want leather look for a 99-01 Gsr leather was standard. What color do you want? The colors were red, black ,white , green , if I remember correctly 00-01 Gsr came in Silver. The other color in the hatch which is what I have in 98-99 was Super Sonic Blue Pearl. I'm sure you seen one it looks Purplish Blue.
A good source to look is Autotrader.Com. Remember another thing 94-97 definatley will have high miles. I got my 98 2 yrs ago with 77K. Of course stock. Anything 60K miles or more do your timing belt "ASAP" to be on the safe side.
Post pictures when you get your Teg. Good Luck :slap:

very ironic im in almost the same boat as the poster and in the same general area and thinking of buying around seattle (im in vancouver WA)
thx for saving me from making this post but one question i had was...

i am looking for a clean stock integra with >>>hopes<<< of doing some mods to it..... but i have a new baby and college etc etc money pits* soooo

if i like to hit the curves every so often would i still enjoy a gs or ls... or should i go with a gsr if i end up getting stuck with keeping it stock (and im not worried about gas prices, it really isnt to much if u look at it as like 70$ or less mroe a year to fill)

also we never did get a good price* for a clean gs/ls/gsr (also is different in different locations but im willing to fly to get "the cleanest car i can"


also average millage is about 12-15k a yr so keep that in mind when buying and ALWAYS run carfax for ur safty!

thx for ur help

i could've used that advice when i bought my civic :doh:


i had the chance to get a clean stock 95 gsr for $5500 but due to my impatience passed it up and a month later settle on my POS civic

patience is key. keep looking.

yea try not to rush into a buy. i looked for 6 months until i bought my 98' GSR, and I'm happy that Ive waited. stock is better than modified, all of my cousins think like you, or want something that has parts on it already. all of them had problems with those cars, and thank god Ive bought one that was completely stock.



edit:sometimes female sellers will have better kept cars than some guys.
i bought mines from a girl which explains the perfect interior
