Hi everyone, im new to honda tech, and i have a question. Im planing to buy an integra in the next couple of weeks/months and i need your advice on which model to buy. I plan on completely building the engine for turbocharging. I was going to save a few bucks and go with the LS, and i wanted the taller gears for the occational highway run too, but a GSR would be nice because of the oil squirters. If im going to build the engine anyway, is it worth it to spent the extra bucks on a GSR(are the oil squiters even an issue?), or will I be straight with an LS. This car will be completly built and will not be a daily driver its more of a project car. If you were me, which model would you go with? Thanks for all the help!

 

Ls, save the money froma gsr or type R and dump it in the motor!

 

go even cheaper and get a rs. It has the same motor as the ls. You just don't get power windows, which you don't need anyway since it not daily driver.

 

i agree with him. its also the lightest integra

 

gs-r is the one

 

just go gs or ls if u gonna go turbo!!!

 

My RS has power windows.

 

depends on what you want... n/a or fi? if you ever plan on going turbo, roll an ls for sure! if not, get the gsr. my ls in n/a but i still love it.

 

SEARCH FUNCTION PLEASE!!!! There are like 15 or so other posts just like this. Read what they have to say before posting.

To answer your question, I'm partial to the RS

 

me too. it's power locks that the RS is missing... that, along with ABS, cruise control and i think in some cases, A/C. also no sunroof option (but the bastard who previously owned my car had one custom installed... so when it broke, acura wouldn't fix it...)

 

****** read the whole post noob, or get the hell outta here. And I would go for a RS.
gmoore

 

thanks for all the replies everyone, i think im going with the LS, i kinda want the power windows and locks just for convinace. even if its a little heavier.

 

i love my gsr, but if your plannin on going turb or whatever, then get an RS.....you;ll have that extra money to build you turb

 

My RS has power windows and locks- it's a sedan.

 

save the time and just buy a GSR or R

 

if you can find an RS, jump on it.

 

The bastard who had my RS cut a sunroof into it, too. I hate it, it doesn't close all the way.

Have you ever had any trouble with your door locks or handles?

 

no problem with door locks or handles that i know of. they're manual, which is a pain only when i have a passenger, though forces me to be "chivalrous" at times...

my sunroof is really annoying due to the roof liner that was installed. it is more like a wool or cotton than a plastic on normal integras. it is not quite as taut, and there is a metal piece, feels regtangular, around the wiring for the overhead light , that rattles to no end. i drive with the sunroof cover/liner half open to pinch that area tighter, but sometimes the rattle spreads, and i make a corresponding adjustment to the liner. extremely annoying. i rarely, if ever, open the sunroof, and do only because it's there. i would never pay extra to have one, and would especially prefer not to have on on this car. oh well.

 

Mine are manual too, but mine are a real pain in the ***. The passenger side doesn't lock from the inside, so I have to walk around to lock it every time I have someone ride with me. My side has trouble locking from the outside, so sometimes when I get in, I have to climb through the passenger side. I know what you mean about having to be chivalrous, too, hehe.
