great, just the article we need to bump up Integra theft rates even more.

 

all of those cars are pretty decent, but i love the horribly ugly DSM they tossed in there.....

 

Its weird that they list a 99 Civic si more expensive then a 00 integra gsr. I would have thought the gsr to be worth more.

 

no those si's cost more. at least in nj.

 

I have to agree with most of the cars on the list anyhow... alrhough they picked some un-flattering pictures for some of the models listed.

 

Yeh, they got the price for the MR2 wrong. A good condition 95' MR2 turbo can go for $15,000. The 94-95 MR2's are very rare, and even the minor upgrades to the 1993 make them worth quite a bit more than the 91-92 MR2's. The only MR2 turbo in good condition you will find for $7,000 is a 1991-92.

 

DC2 and EM1 made it up there. Cool

 

Arguably one of the finest front-drive vehicles ever made, Acura's Integra (along with its Civic sibling) launched the import tuning craze that we all know and love (or despise) today. The GS-R comes powered by the still-hot 170 hp DOHC VTEC, sports a fully-independent double-wishbone suspension all around and has near-infinite tuning potential. If you can dream it, you can do it with an Integra GS-R.

Cool article.

 

not only did i find a 99 GSR with 90000 miles but i found a 2000 si with 80000 miles in the same lot on the same day and they were 2 of 10 cars on the lot! both are under 8 grand too. just dont know which one to buy.

Haha, yeah No **** dude. Good luck trying to find an excellent condition MR2 turbo for under 10k. Ain't gonna happen. Who would want an N/A mr2 also? the 5sfe motor is AWFUL. Had one in my celica... god damn useless. I doubt you'll find any mr2's in excellent condition at all. Oh and IGN, yes... it is much easier to find a good condition mr2 n/a and swap a 3sgte... especially a j-spec 3sgte. front clips are pretty much all you get imported for those cars anyways. Aww now I'm missing my toyota.

On MR2OC.com, I saw a 95 turbo being sold for over 20k!!! Its 12 years old and still 20k!!!! Granted it had 14k on it... but still!!

wow integra as number 1?

 

i want that 240 and swap the godzilla into it... so what if its completly unreliable and just a huge money pit... would be REDICULOUS.

Yup, toyota way overused that shitty engine. I loved the displacement, but the HP numbers were awful. 135 hp/ 140 tq. Known for oil leaks.
Few people actually know about it, but there was a celica here in the states called the all-trac. had the mr2 t motor on an AWD platform in the celica body. Sweet ****** car, but very limited numbers. It was called the GT-Four overseas.
I think the 3S-GTE from the mr2 t was only used in the mr2 and celica all-trac... damn toyota... why did they stop using turbos!

i sincerely doubt it. they go by stats for probability, not obscure articles on websites they've never seen

 

the article used the kbb pricing not street value

I've always wondered about that too, considering the GS-R cost more when new. I think it has to do w/ good cond EM1s being harder to find than DC2s.

Unless you just love the Si for whatever reason, get the GS-R. It's faster, has a slightly bigger displacement, and has leather. Everything else is just about the same.

 

yeah id say the gsr because its just an overall nicer car. not just engine wise but its just.. you know. nicer!
