Iam looking to buy a used integra GS-R
and what are some of the cons of the car?? (all i hear are the good things about it) does it break down alot and are the parts expensive?????

Iam looking at one with 80,000miles he is asking $10,500
iam still thinking because that is alot of money for a 17yearold

 

see if you can talk down the price but i would go for it depending on what year the car is it should be good i know that the 95 5sp gs-r has some trans problems after awhile but other than that it is all good the parts are basically what you want to spend on them after markit offers alot of parts but replacement parts are about average but you wont go wrong with the car i would go for it!!!!

 

The Integra Gs-r iam looking at right now is a 96 and a bunch of people told me that its a good deal but i still have to test drive it to see if everything is ok
thanks for your help

 

I am a owner of 95 integra GSR, and its real good car. lots of power, good handling and suspension. The cons of this car depends on how you want to set it up as. If its gonna be a race car, then the downfall is that its heavey. 170hp ( average of 150+ hp to the wheel) to me personally isnt enough to push this body weight vehicle, you'll need to put some major diet for the tegs. GSR tends to struggle alot with any DOHC or V6 motors. but its good car to compete with, ludes, celica gts, eclipse, etc... all those are in the same class. If this gsr motor is in a EG civic, you'll do some major damage on the street. I think thats why they came out with the typeR, 195 hp to push this wieght, better rotors (5 lugs), bigger suspesion setup, LSD on the tranny and push higher compression on the motor. but other then that, GSR is a excellent car. Prices are good for this car and you'll find anything as far as performance product goes for B-series motor.

 

10,500-talk that down a bit. I payed 9500 for my GS-R w/ 74k from a dealer. Major things I have had to deal w/ are:

1 replaced master cylinder~500$
2 Timing and water pump changed~650
3 replaced radiator~450
4 tune up (dist cap, rotor, plugs)~120

Still going strong at 100K though!!

 

no torque would be a bad thing about it

 

Really, your tune-up was that much? Mine was $90, and that's with Bosch Platinum plugs, Borg-Warner cap, rotor, and wires, a Honda fuel filter, and 5 qts of royal purple. I guess that's what happens when you're friends with someone who gets the stuff and dealer cost

 

annoying rattles

 

all OEM plugs, rotor and cap; also forgot to add in fuel filter plus shipping too was about 100~120 (forgot the actual price)
