I currently own a 97 civic ex, and I'm selling it. Looking into buying a integra, so what I want to know is what is better a Rs,Gs or Ls? I know Gsr is the way to go but they are hard to find and I only have 5,000. thanks

 

try craigslist.. there's alot on there for under 5 if u lucky you'll find a swap one.

 

GS will have more option then the others... Look hard and you'll find a GsR for 5k just bought mine for 4900. 98 GSR. GL...

 

$5,000 will find you a good gsr. Probably not a 98-01 tho (might be lucky tho). I say go with the gsr.

 

Hold your money and wait for a gs-r. 5k is enough for one.

 

Agreed with the people . Be patient and try to get a GSR, I'm sure you will find one for under 5k

 

BE PATIENT! I almost bought an LS for my first car because i wanted a car already but i decided not to buy it and got a 97 GSR 2 weeks later with 111,000 milage for $5200 bone stock driven by an old lady. I drove my friends LS after i got my car and damn was i glad that i got a gsr

 

I'd settle for an LS (must be clean tho), and do a VTEC head conversion on it. Granted, you're going to need a shorter gearing tranny too (ie. GSR, B16, or ITR). With $5K as a budget, you can utilize the money left over (since LS's are much cheaper) and make the LS look/handle better and go faster than a GSR.

But if you're lookin at straight outta the box FAST, get a GSR. Good luck.
