Well, it was a tough choice between a civic hatch and this teg. I was originally planning on starting a civic HB project with a B-engine plus turbo. I wanted to start from scratch on it...... then I saw this 96 integra GSR. I completely changed my mind and fell in-love with this car. It already has some of the upgrades that I wanted. I think that it would still come out to be cheaper than what my previous plan was gonna be (civic HB B-series turbo). Here are the current mods:
-JDM B18C (ITR) with 30,000 miles
-JDM spec OBD2
-Stage 3 clutch
-Lightened flywheel
-B16A tranny with upgraded LSD
-Apex N1 cat-back with test pipe
-Spoon cam gears
-DC 4-1 header
-Genuine JDM Mugen front lip
-JDM corner lights
-16" Slips
-Nitto 450 (205/40)
-Skunk2 coilover (which I kind of dont like)
-Fluidyne radiator
It has no power steering but I really dont care about that. The car is too low for me and I plan to raise it up about an inch. It needs a lot of work but it's okay, since this will be my project car anyway. I do plan on turboing it...... I know about the high compression and I have plans for it. Overall, I think it was a "steal" for what I paid for which is $7800.
