Default 1995 GSR (DB8) sedan find

I was looking for a 2nd car with 4 doors to make it easier to transport kids. Our main family hauler is a Honda Odyssey, so the vehicle had to be convenient for those not so frequent logistics errands. I came across this 1995 GSR. The car (not including myself) is a 2 owner car with 95% of its life with the 1st owner. It is definitely one of the better GSR sedans I’ve come across. It came with loads of previous records including the original window sticker. The second owner was also a honda head and kept everything all original. In fact before buying it, the owner had a valve adjustment and smog done. Pretty much all the maintenance stuff was done and I just need to keep up with what has been done. The paint and interior are in perfect shape. There is barely a sign of wear on the driver’s side bolster. My only plan is to raise the car up and perform my world famous DIY alignment The owner even provided the original GSR fat five wheels (not pictured).








Even got an extra license plate holder for the coupe!

if the suspension is still in good condition, why not just leave it be? Nice find, BTW. Those GSR sedans are hard to find in semi-stock condition.


I would re-do the alarm. Having the siren openly exposed in the engine is way too easy for thieves to eliminate. I'm betting the alarm module is right under the dash, where most car audio shops mount it.

good find! i agree about the siren. if it fits, a good place to relocate it is up under the fender.

It does, right next to the washer fluid reservoir.

I have a GSR coupe <GSR Coupe> and would rather put the suspension on that car since I track it occasionally. The suspension that is currently on the GSR (new Bilstein struts/stock springs) fits the direction I want to go with this car, which is to keep it stock since it will be my DD.
