gsr interior only came in charcoal black soft cloth with red pin striping, and redline is like 8000 or 7800 can't remember i don't really look at the tach numbers when i rev that high just look for the color red to shift.

nope no gsr. the gsr started in 92and the side will say vtec. the tack on a 92-93 gsr goes to 9000 but the rev limter comes in at 8300. the body change in 94.

gsr's only came in aztec green,milano red, and frost white. I believe the leather was optional back then. As i've seen a few gsr's that had them, but mine come with the charcoal w/ red in it.

the special edition is an LS with a little extra.... leather seats, spoiler, alloy wheels, and painted moldings. they ls-s had one extra color a dark forest green (dont know the name of it)

the gs-r has a 1.7 vtec motor, comes with spoiler, alloy wheels, painted moldings, and leather is optional

the canucks have black gissers.

and i think the leather seats are the same in the gs-r as in the gs or se. the only difference in cloth seats between the models is the patterns and colors. the ls and rs don't have adjustable side-bolsters either.

i haven't sat in the leather seats but maybe the only difference is the lumbar supports. the gsr adjusts to your width and can squeeze your love handles.

Wow there are a LOT of discrepencies in this thread.

ok, b18as redline at 6500. All years.

The LS-S had painted mirrors and door handles (as did the GS)

The g2 gsr had pin striped interior as an OPTION, as with the pinstriping on the exterior of the ls-s.

Also: The b17 redline is at 8k.

the redline on the b18a starts just after 6500 rpm, the actual mechanical redline is 6700rpm.
all 90-91 integra's had black mirrors, ls and gs had painted door handles.
but, the LS-S is still essentially a gs. it is closer in relation to a gs than an ls.
the "pin-striped" cloth seats in the gs-r were standard, they were to differentiate the gs-r from all other integras with charcoal interior.

so, technically, you didn't solve every problem and you didn't answer the original question. which has already been answered.

the gs and gs-r always had that option, whether cloth or leather seating. adjustable side bolstering. the rs and ls didn't.

Just to add my .02 cents. Some quick differences between a 2G LS Special and a GSR.
GSR's have body-color moldings, LS-s do not.
GSR's have complimentary color interior panels, LS-S's have contrasting color interior panels. Ex, Black w/ tan vs. black w/ gray.
And GSR'S have the 3rd brake light mounted IN the spoiler with NO holes visible in the hatch glass.
LS-S's have the 3rd brake light IN the hatch GLASS.

From what I understand, an LS-S is a hybrid of LS and GSR options w/o the VTEC engine option. And the LS-S package predates the GSR. The LS-S started with the 1G tegs and the 1st GSR wasn't until the spring of 1992, The last 2 years of the 2G tegs.

maybe he got screwed. the gs-r had red striping, the gs with charcoal seats had gray striping. things can be replaced after 10 years.

</TD></TR></TABLE>According to some honda book I read a while ago, the first LS-S was sold in 1988. It's been offered, off and on since then.
Sorta like the way honda stopped selling the TypeR and then started again.
The thing that makes a GSR a real GSR though,. IS the VTEC engine.
No VTEC from the factory NO GSR nameplate. Or price tag. LOL
