JDM doesn't matter, because we don't get them.

However, they do have speed governers. All modern Japanese market cars do.

 

i think early 96 is the best because they typically wont have as many miles as older models and they are the last to have obd1 and they have the lightest wheels stock. another plus is that the stock wheels look secksi with the center caps removed. gl with your buy and i hope i helped

many think that 96 integras had OBD1. however, in 1996 all vehicles in the US required OBD2 computers. Therefore 96+ tegs had OBD2, not OBD1.

 

Meh... I prefer the 94 GS-R over every previous incarnation... why? Better everything. The "bug eye" lights give you better road visibility, the interior on the 3rd gen is a lot better than the 2nd gen IMO, and the stability is a lot more refined (or so I hear).

Though, I'll give you that the 92-93 GS-R is rare... I've only seen 1 or 2 running on the road, but I don't think that it's rarity will really matter 20 years down the road. The 94-01 GS-Rs will be remembered before the 90-93 body style.

And correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the b17a just "basically" a bored-out b16a?

 

Well, I think that the second generation's lights, with the fogs on, easily put out as much light. All 90-93 Integras came factory stock with fog lights. The second gen also has a more comfortale interior, the 3G has a slightly smaller and much more artificial feel to it. The 90-93 suspension was the softest of the three bodys, however after upgrading along the standard path it will perform just as well as the later models. I had no problem with the stock suspension on my '92 GS. The G2 GS-R also had the lightest body of them all.
The G2 GS-R may not be remembered first, but that does not nessicarily mean it will not be more valuable. Early (late '50's) Plymouth Furys are not recognized as well as the mid models (mid to late '60's), but they are still more valuable

A B17A is a stroked B16A with slightly different camshafts. You can turn a B16A into a pseudo-B17 by simply swaping in a B17 crank and rods.

 

actually the B17 has the same bore as the ctr and the itr, it just has a different stroke.....81x81.4..... nice square engine....

I've owned a 97ls too and it feels smaller inside and the visability is not as good as the g2's..... but I'll admit, the g3 feels more solid over bumps......

 

Note, all stock B-series engines except for the B20B/Z have 81mm bores. The B20B/Z has an 84mm bore.

 

get a 92-93 gs-r...i have a 92 gs-r and i love it

here is what mine looks like...a project in progress..

I'd recommend getting the newest, lowest mileage GSR you can afford. This will cause you the least problems and probably be the least expensive car in the long run. Integras will run forever, but my '94 with 119k is starting to have a lot of little things go wrong with it in the past year. Such as starter, radiator, clutch, etc...

The differences between OBD I and OBD II aren't really important unless your planning on doing some serious modifications, such as a fully built NA motor or forced induction. With basic bolt-ons, however, any performance differences are basically non-existent.

Go with a 98+ if you can afford it. This is the first year Acura changed the front and rear fascias, and most people prefer that look. The interior amenities also get nicer as the years go by.

 

get a 94-95 4dr gsr and you'll be happy..do a 98+ conversion and you'll be happier..

I hate the rear seat on the g3 2dr tegs..


I have a 94 4dr gsr with JDM ITR front conversion and the 98 rear lights and bumper..I LOVE IT!..so does every one eles :naughty:

My previouse car was a 92 4dr teg..i think theres more leg room for the rear passenger in the g3 4drs..
