one of my close buddies is planning on either getting a integra GSR or a RSX type S. I would like a bit of input on both cars to try and help him decide he has test drove both but they both have there ups and downs. would just like some input

 

the price difference is the decision maker. the rsx-s is $12-18k the GSR is $3-8k

i would rather have a mint 2001 gsr than a beat up 2002 rsx. again. all price. if both cars were offered as a choice that someone else was paying for, it would be easy. rsx-s

 

Depends on how much he's trying to spend.

From what I understood the Integra suspension was supposed to be better than the Rsx, but the Rsx type S does have 6 speed( godsend for these torqueless motors ), bigger front and rear brakes, 5 lug wheels and a stronger k-series motor that gets far more power gains from simple add-ons like intake and exhaust than the Integra B-series engines do.

Another aspect I like about the Rsx is that the Ecu can be flashed and reprogrammed, whereas us OBD2 Integra drivers either have to go with a piggyback or an OBD1 conversion. Both of which are emissions illegal.

Personally, i wish i had the money at the time I bought my integra to go with a newer Rsx but at the same time if I had, i would not have the spare money available to buy a home right now because I'd still have about another $8k to pay off.

 

yeah if money isn't an issue, my opinion would be a RSX-S.

 

i think gsr would be easier and cheaper. easier to find parts for easier to work on and cheaper !!!!!!

 

i say type-s,

-newer
-better resale value
-better motor
may be more expensive, but the key factor for me would be....... ready for this, integra are more likely to get stolen then a rsx.

 

^^ correct with the stolen factor. Newer cars are also prone to less problems. It all dependson the driver. Tell him to do some research , because we cant decide for him when he is stuck with it in the long run. I say you get better responce from the DC2. I wanted a DC5 instead because my old one got jacked but funds where short.

 

dc626 aare you on teamintegra?

 

I would love to have an rsx-s if i could find a really good deal on one, but i'd take my integra over one anyday

Both are great cars.

Not any safer owning an RSX anymore. They have figured out how to steal them very easily.

 

I saw the thread title and thought it was an actual race Id get the GSR

 

if hes gonna buy a rsx...then why dont he just get a type r? type r all the way.

 

My 97 LS smoked an 03 Type-S lol

 

What about the 3rd gear snag in the K-series 6spd tranys? I would say that is con for RSX.

 

Must be built up quite a bit.

 

or the S wasn't really racing him

 

my friend bought a blue type s for 20k and he drives the **** out of it and has held for like forever,the k20 motor can really take a pounding as for performance he has i,h,e and my b16 eg keeps up till about 100 then he just pulls away like nobody's business.
heres one of his pulls

ain't much difference between these 2..but if money wasn't an issue i would get the 05 type S! but if money comes in hand here i'll get a mint gsr lol

 

definitely the type-s, or better yet, an 06+ si . the type s has a MUCH nicer interior, more powerful/stronger motor that's more responsive to mods, and a better tranny.

 

stick with the DC5

there ya go......a whole thread on the gsr vs type s

 

Nah we were racing, it was my homie. I got him off the light, smoked him by a car and a half. And both our cars are bone stock. He's just not a really good driver lol.

 

IMO finding a nice unmolested 00-01 GS-R with low miles is very rare these days..

 

witch one has the k20

go with that one ha!

 

My 01 gsr over any rsx-s. No matter what any one says integra specially JDM look is 10 times better looking car then rsx and if money is not a problem u can always fix that B18 to do some big damages. Integra all the way lollll.
