depends what block/head your using, if its built, completely stock...

 

Depends on how the ls/v was built. It might be faster but how long will it last?

 

Don't get the civic a ls vtech is very unreliable if not built properly and really not much quiker then a stock gsr. Aslo do you really think a civic is more apealing then a integra ? . Honda civic is the the bottom level honda you can buy please do yourself a fovor and get the gsr

 

this is all the **** it has:

LS/VTEC motor (~3000 miles)
B18B1 block
OEM LS rods
ARP rod bolts
RS Machines PR3 Pistons (11.5 comp.)
Hasting rings
ACL race bearings (main,rod,thrust washers)
GSR oil pump
GSR water pump
GSR timing belt

GSR head
Skunk2 intake manifold

B16 tranny
Exedy stage 1 clutch
B&M short shifter

 

are they costing the same?

 

oem LS rods are weak. I wouldn't use them in any high horsepower application. Were they even shotpeened?

 

probably not because that is the actual description the guy put i just copied and pasted

 

no believe it or not the gsr is cheaper

 

GSR hands down. Will be way more reliable.

 

Neither ha.

Honestly i would probably pick the hatch.

kinda hard to pick though.

haha... Well LS VTEC can be awesome, but it can also be very unrealable.. Plus, the GS-R looks 10 times nicer, and is gonna be a better car.. for that price, can you tell us what is wrong with the gsr, or how many miles, or what

 

PLUS 94 and 95 GSRs are the best. OBD1

he is selling it that cheap because of the miles...170k yeah its a lot but ima rebuild the hell outta that engine! other than that everything else is excellent!! i just got rid of my 94 ls with 179k and you cant blame me its a pretty good upgrade

 

 

ls rods will handle 300 whp so its well within its capacity
money says that the civic would blow the doors off of the dc
my opinion is both cars are way played out now and i think dc2 is a pretty boy car or at least in so cal is

I drive a Dc2 in so cal!

 

I dont know im from so cal... Few years ago it was DA And DB8's up the ***.

I guess they upgraded to Dc2's hahaha...

 

i would get clean stock car, and start from there.

those car looks sooo beat up.

but, from those two, GSR

hatch looks like its been 24/7 street race.lol

ls rods are not weak. they're already shotpeened from the factory. the rod bolts on the other hand are another story.

 

the LS-V, as stated b4, will not be as reliable compared to the gsr BUT it really depends what you like/ can afford to work on. I like the Teggy because its a lot nicer car in general however i have a soft spot for grocery getter grandma style shells with motor swaps, who cares that its a "low end" model, its like driving a street legal go kart
