NEed help new to the scene

[lostsoul]

hey guys im new to the street racing scene and was wondering a lil bit whats the difference between the different civic models like the EX,LX,DX im pretty confused and what exactly does GSR stand for?? thans for the help

[silver]

those are the trim models for the cars....have nothing to do with street racing or racing or really even performance for that matter with exception of the motor being different for an ex compared to the other trims in that it has vtec.

gsr is the sporty trim for the integra. the rs, gs, and ls models below it and the type r above it.

[GT40FIED]

This is just a guess, but GSR probably stands for Grand Sport Rally or something similar. It's like the old school days of cars. Camaros had RS (Rally Sport) and SS (Super Sport) lines and Mustangs had LX, GT, GLX, GTS etc.

Like Silver said, their all just trim levels and don't have much to do with the engine (with few exceptions). One might have an extra couple suspension bits while another might have an extra 5-10hp, but for the most part it's all about interior and/or exterior option packages like gauge pods, upholstry, or wheels.

well the gsr is the same as the sir-g in japan. so they probably just moved the letters around. now as for what sir-g stands for......sport injected racing-good?

Last time on a car ad, I read GSR stands for Grand Sport Racing.

If you're really interested, the LX is usually the EX without the VTEC and the moonroof and they have hubs instead of sport wheels. DX is the completely stripped down version of the LX (no A/C, etc.), and in the older civic models they only came with manual transmission.

DX = 2 door, no vtec. Commonly 5 speed
LX = 4 door, no vtec. Commonly Auto
EX = 2 door, vtec. Commonly 5 speed
HX = 2 door, treehugger version of vtec. 5 speed
Si = 2 door, "souped up" version of ex, 5 speed

i think they are just letters... like the rsx tsx mdx etc... at least thats what i always thought

[lostsoul]

[IALuder]

TQ or HP.

[Mischief]

If you're looking for TQ don't get a Honda :D :D

[IALuder]

if i had to choose a honda/acura car agian. i would look for a GSR integra, B18c swapped Civic hatch, or a H22a prelude.

[lostsoul]

Check it online, search forums etc. It's very easy to find out. 94+ Integras have the B18. LS and GS's have a B18B1. GSR's Have a B18C1 and Type R's have a B18C5.. that's all I know.. I know Civics can be B16's but they can also be other things I think.. Not too sure about them.. Preludes are H22 or H23's.. RSX is a K20.. blah blah blah you can find it all if you do some searching

[IALuder]

the block code is on the left side of the block. there is a small flat surface.

[lostsoul]
