Icon6 Finally got my Integra! '95 GS-R 392whp

Here it is! I'm a new member here but I've owned/own 7 Hondas now (Had: 88, 89, 91 Civic Hatchback, 95 Civic Coupe, 98 Civic Sedan. Have: 08 CR-V and 95 Integra GS-R) with my recent addition being the '95 GS-R. I picked it up from a guy named Stephen, backroadCR-V on here (build thread here: https://honda-tech.com/forums/forced...hread-3297958/), two days ago in Little Rock, Arkansas and drove it back the same day with 0 issues. It has the original motor with now 232,000 miles putting out 392whp on e85, though it's currently tuned for 91/93 so I'm around 300 right now. It's surely a beast. It's my first turbo car but not my first fast car :D I've owned a '93 RX-7 with a cammed LS1, 2002 Firehawk, 2000 Camaro SS pushing 428rwhp, and a few others. I must say, there's nothing quite like a turbo... haha.

Here are some photos! Enjoy!

Lucky you, definitely a great build, but I never understood why so many people put so much time money effort blood sweat and tears into a build and then immediately sell it as soon as they're finished.

Very nice looking car.

Me neither, it's not like you're making a profit off of these builds...

Nice pick up. People tend to sell them because they break their bank doing them. Often they borrow large amounts of money on credit, spend countless years building them and dealing with paying back the debt. Eventually it becomes tiresome and people want out. On the other end of the spectrum some people enjoy building them more than driving them and once the project is complete it is on to the next.

Stephen is a DSM guy. His heart is with the Eclipses. Haha. So, I think he just wanted back into that world. But you're right - a lot of people build just to build & that's okay. I get to enjoy the fruit of his labor 😄

Man... What a nice ride you have there. I remember I built my previous DB1 all motor though it was an automatic with a stage 1 torque converter. It beat a lot of cars out there even a CRX turbo. Ever since my car got stolen and I got it back a few months later. I regret scrapping the car I should of just repair some of the parts and drive it once more. I was dumb.

I remember when I took my 1999 P75 cylinder head that has work done to it to a shop to get it clean up. The shop didn't call me back. I had to call them and found out that they lost my cylinder head. I got so mad about it told them off. The guy says he'll replace it with a stock head. I refuse and went to smalls court to get what I deserve. I won but they won't pay up. It has been years already.
