Is there a "best" year GSR to get?
My wifes lease is up in 2 payments now, and I want to get an Integra GSR for myself, and let her have my Jetta. I am thinking something in the 96-98 range, and was wondering if there is anyting to stay away from, or is one year better than the others.
Thanks for any help!

Lot of people prefer the 94' GSR because it has the OBD1 ecu which repsonds alittle bit better to mods and there are no speed governor.
If you are planning to keep stock, then I would get newer one like you said.

But I would get the newer ones anyway.

People say the 94-95's have the best tunability due to the OBDI, but the looks of the 98+ front end is a lot nicer.
Also, I prefer the 94-95 GS-R wheels above all the other integra wheels offered, and cars of this generation tend to be fairly cheap, but sometimes really beat up

I prefer the 92-93 GS-R. It's an OBD-1 car with a pretty rare B17A1 engine. The transaxle has excellent gearing, the interior is great, and since it's a second generation unit, it doesn't have the ass-ugly bug eye headlights.
The B17A1 is prone to spin rod bearings when they get older, however (over 150k.) You can help prevent this with the addition of a crank girdle, they are not very expensive.
The 92-93 GS-R is a rare car, so it will also have collector's value in the future... in a way it already does. Fortunately, parts are still plentiful, so no need to worry about that. The only unusual part it uses is it's crank and rods (availible through Acura, aftermarket rods are also availible)... everything else is interchangible with other models.:thumbup:
