Used to be a kennel car, so the only problem with it was dog hair in the car. This car was one of my dream cars and since its paid off, will be in my car collection forever. The car has seen the drag strip a few times and also been in some car shows. Best place in car show was 2nd place Best Subaru out of 9 Subarus at a Baltimore car show. Best run at the track is 13.4 @ 97 mph with Intake and Turbo back exhaust (no tune). In this thread will be a few different "Chapters or Sections"

It is a 1997 Acura Integra GSR. Yes it has meshes on it because 1997 was a special edition or what not is what I read somewhere. I drive about 50 miles round trip to work everyday. Figured instead of a hybrid, ill have fun and have a GSR as my daily while I find a MKIV Supra or a R33 Skyline. Yes I said Skyline, there are a ton of R33's around VA, NC and more and Ill travel to get one. I plan on having one of those for one of our shop racecars by springtime, but until then thats a story for another day.

Here are a few pictures of the car when I got it.



Mod List:
Skunk2 Shift ****
