Thank you very much. All finished. Took it out on a 38 mile drive. MAN it feels AMAZING. ALmost Lexus LS430 like smoothness. Ride is flat, and just the perfect amount of rebounding.
post install ride height. 3 finger gap all the way around. No more bounciness for kids, hitting the roof, in the rear!
Those may be some of my most favorite factory wheels ever.

I was partial to the "fat five" GSR wheels on the 95 cars (when I was younger), But I appreciate these ones (on my car), more, as I have gotten older and aged. Then again, I never thought I would own a ugly 4 front headlight Integra, and I do now.... I guess you can chalk it up to "maturity"
Funny thing happened, I had the hood up in when working, and a person (18-25 hipster), walked through the neighborhood, lives a street over, and said "THIS engine, didn't come in this car. Who did the swap?!" After telling him its a stock GSR Sedan, he argued for a few minutes that these only come in 3 door. SIGH. Too old to argue. I said, you must be right.
Power steering needed slight top off
great car, perfect for crazy sleeper build

Don't have the motivation on this project for the "crazy" part.
sure has been fun to drive .
Love it. I've always wanted one of these.
Personally, in as nice shape as this car is in, I'd just throw an intake on (makes that v-tech howl so much better) and enjoy it. Headers would be nice too, and you can find some used ones cheap as people move on from what is now an older platform.

Thank you kindly. If you have any particular intake or header recommendation, I am all ears.
my 92-93 Integra used to have HKS Hiper exhaust and I am too old for that stuff these days

I'm not an expert on integras. I know my buddy's GSR from way back had an injen intake, with a header and a high flow cat but I'm unsure of the brands. Made a nice difference in power and sound without being ricey.

Ah ok. Back in the day we were Gaga for spoon, Mugen, aem, injen and dc sports
aaah the good ole days
In reply to mr2s2000elise :
Yep, back in the good ol' days when everyone was convinced that a cold air intake was good for 20 horsepower, cause it said so right on the box!
Wife's 19s vs my 15s .... hilarious. Then again I have too many toys with 15-16inch wheels - definitely not the norm these days
wife doesn't seem to be a big fan of GSR. Then again she isn't involved in the toy decisions. I buy, bring home, tell her. Never discuss with her during chase or buying period. She has her car. Kids love the GSR. Wife asked if GSR will stay or be sold soon, LOL
In reply to mr2s2000elise :
Awesome car.
I'm jealous that you're able to do the "buy then tell" technique with the wife haha
In reply to tip :
Thanks
last 2 cars I bought 3 states over. Did fly and drive. Had "work meeting," drove home. Parked on diff street for a week. Then showed her pics that "I may get it." Titled, plated in the mean time
week later, it's in my driveway
woohoo. Haha
Saw a rare sight this morning. American made car in the neighborhood. And it being the rare SS.
Well had a weird experience with the car after 1,300 miles driven in my possession
it was fully overheating (per guage). So parked it. Of course then wife asked when GSR will be sold, if it's unreliable
initially thought fan relay - but that is fine
have oem thermostat - but that isn't the problem
did new radiator cap not the problem
on cold start- needle jumps to middle before starting.
thus I have it narrowed down to ECT sensor or sending unit
car not over heating, but guage at random times being erratic
Well ordered the ECT sensor
that was culprit
Culprit
I thought I wouldn't like that color on the GSR. I don't know if I've ever seen one in that color in person. It looks great! I swear they only made them in Forest green or whatever they named it. Mine was green with tan interior.

I believe color you mention is Cypress Green Pearl.
Agree, I never liked the old man color, but now I own it, I actually like it :)
Nice unicorn. I rebuild a salvage one around 2003.. a 98 like yours but in the deep blue. Adriatic blue if memory serves de wright.. i never drive it.. had to sell it for financial reason.. one of my biggest automotive regrets... if i ever see it for sale....

I believe you could still buy a comptech icebox. Heeltoe auto did buy all the rights and molds from ct/comptech. I love looking for parts from that era. Holding onto a comptech header and icebox incase I want to use it on another car.

I am surprised you needed to use spring compressors for the Konis and ITR springs. I think removing the fronts I can see, but I've removed the rears without them shooting out. Installing them, I was able to have a frient push down the tophat and we were able to bolt them on.
