Default Hello, about to buy my first car, but a type r

Hello All, ive been lurking around on the forum for sometime now and never really created any threads yet. My very first car was a 94 gsr which over did mod and pretty much riced it out. but that was about 6 years ago. now im looking to buy the integra back and do it very tastefully keeping it clean and storing it for my son as a collector. hopefully i keep with the plan.

I'll add to this once i lock in on my next project.


Thanks...name is Mike from WISCONSIN

GSR ≠ Type-R

Maybe he wants an ITR instead and is saying that he used to own a GSR?

I'd advise against it, the ITR is not a collector car, and most likely will not be (at least for another 20 years).

From what I got from his post is that he is going to buy his old 94 GSR back and make it into an R replica.

The Integra Type R IS a collector's car. I'm a collector. I should know.

If you want to keep an ITR a collectable, then buy one that is stock (or close to it) and then make it 100% stock.

A modded ITR is worth less than a stock one.

Any car can be a 'collector car', the ITR definitely is.
