Default ***In the market for a new car, RSX-S or GSR?***

It's about time time for me to move on to newer car. My initial thought was to get an 02-03 RSX Type-S, but now I'm looking into that GSR I always wanted. I'm looking to spend about 16K for an RSX-S, or about 12K for a GSR, ( probably 2000, 2001 model). Don't get me wrong, I really like the RSX, but I'm in love with the JDM front end on the GSR, but I would like lower miles. what do you folks think I should do. (either way I'll be financing the car at the price listed with about 4% APR)

honestly, i would have posted this in the discussion forum since ur mostly gonna get gsr for being in the integra forum


i would buy the gsr with low miles since they are seen less than type-s's and u would spend less to be faster than the -S

LOL riiight. An RSX-S with bolt-ons and hondata is capable of mid to low 14's. You will need alot more mods than that to get a GSR to hit the same times.

can you please explain why i-vtec cost more then most vtec motor? and you know how much it cost to get the swap done? or why alot of people is doing k20 swap right now?

rsx-s is most likely, the value is still there, imo i would love to pick up rsx-s, gsr doesnt produce that much hp comparing to stock rsx-s

it's just the love of the b series, if i were rich i would drop in a k20 type r on a civic eg or ek but since i love working with b series and just going all motor with them, im sticking with the b series.....so yeah anywho the point of this thread is giving opinions on what the OP should buy, and my answer would be to stick with vtec so just get a type r

I'd take that 16k and look for a type r. Integra's are sexier and the type r is quicker then the type s.
