From what i am being told, the gearing in the 94-01 gsr isn't good. What are your opinions on this? Would a tranny from an ek civic si be better? thanks

 

Gsr gearing is fine.

B16 is shorter. Depends on your app. I run a b16. Gsr is not bad though.

 

What do you mean it "isn't good"? What application are you using it for?

The GSR is a great tranny for many applications, especially forced induction. You can easily swap LSD's in there, and there are many aftermarket final drive kits that bolt right in.

The B16 tranny has shorter gearing and will give you slightly more mechanical advantage, but it might be too short for some applications.

The LS tranny is also not that bad. It's CHEAP, bulletproof like many other B-series trannies, and if you want to save gas, it's perfect. If you can do tranny work, you can easily swap parts to and from that tranny to change the ratios to your liking.

What do you want to use it for?

 

hmm alright...the problem im having is should i buy a 1999 civic si or a 2000 integra gsr...i had a 2000 civic si but it was stolen sept 19 and it was a great car but im thinking about getting an integra but i really dont know what to do...the b16 was so much fun so i can only imagine what the b18c1 is like...

Either way, get the GSR. The Integra is an all around better car. Much more luxurious inside.

 

i love the integra type r though...does the itr lip and side skirts and rear lip bolt right on to the gsr?

 

buy the teg man, especially if was driven by a mid aged woman. you know she drove it a lot nicer than that 19 or 20 y/o dude did. plus it is damn near stock so you can mess wit what you want on it from the start and know exactly what is being done and how it was done.
but beyond everything else the integra looks better imho

just my .02

 

Yes the lip and sideskirts fit, but there's no difference in the ITR skirts unless you're gett ing the OEM optional ones.

 

yes the lip ss and bumpers ect bolt right up and dont cost much on ebay. good luck and go with the gsr bro it is a way better buy imo

 

im def leaning towards the gsr...id rather wait and try to find one with lower mileage but for $10,000...65k isnt that bad

 

i have another question....what are some good, reliable websites to order parts for the integra?

 

Buy the Integra.

My D-powered EG is faster on a road course, but I absolutely LOVE driving my GSR. It's smoother, quiter, more luxurious, and the torque.....oh the torque . It's near perfect.

Some websites:
http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org
http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com (cause some parts are interchangeable, this site is cheaper)
and of course: Honda-tech and ebay!

 

the integra... gets my vote.

go with the teg, overall i think you will prefer it over the si and 65k is definitely nothing to worry about.

 

another thing that ive been think about is....im 6'2.. does the integra have more legroom or less than the civic

 

They're about the same.

I'm 6' and I've got about the same head room and leg room in my wife's EJ as I do in my GSR. However, because the GSR has the dual bend shifter, it sits back further and is more ergonomic for the taller driver when your seat is back further, you're not having to stretch to shift like in the EG.

 

i see...i had the skunk2 dual bend in my 00 si and i loved it...

 

i liked the b16 gearing until the first time i hopped on the freeway. i vote gsr by leaps and bounds. would you rather be the 2nd owner of a car driven by YOU or your mom?

 

If your really that much into the b16 trans, swap in a jdm lsd b16 one. The integra is a nice car. Especially if you have the leather interior, it looks really clean inside.

 

Im wanna be the odd ball, so get the Si, although I dont like it that much, and I would personally without a doubt get the gs-r, but like I said, I just wanted to be the odd ball!!! Plus, think of the leather, if it has it, and those two little circle lights that appear to stare at you all the time!

 

well i just found a nice phoenix yellow integra type r that im gonna be checking out....id love to get an itr over the gsr and si....

 

gsr all the way man!!
