Post by: thePoster on June 08, 2015, 10:13:11 PM
One of my neighbor's friend came over to work on his prelude... and he ask me if my car is the type S.

I was a bit confused...

I said... it's a GSR.

Type S?  C'mon man ... really?

Obviously this car is an integra, its not like he didn't have a good look at it when I pulled in.  Integra's only came in certain trims. 
If  you see the vtec badge on the back, obviously it's a GSR.

There's no such thing as a Type S integra.

There are however Type S RSX.  But even then, how could you confuse an RSX with an integra?  The USDM headlights are nothing like the USDM headlights on the RSX.

When I first brung my teggie back up, one of my neighbor's friend asked me if it that "civic" was mine.  I said yeah, it's an integra.
He replied "oh, I meant to say integra".   
I mean seriously?  How can you confuse the two cars?

My neighbor started talking to me when first moved in and asked me what motor I had in my car.  I told him it's the GSR motor.
He was like "really?"
I said "Yeah..." thinking to myself, "it's the only motor that comes in a integra GSR stock, so yeah duh"


And that guy that wanted to race me on his bike, when I was leaving he said "I heard there's a GSR motor in there." 
I thought to myself agian "well duh, it's an integra GSR"
The way he said it was like he made it sound like I swapped in a GSR motor into it. 

C'mon folks, sunroof, vtec badging all points to an Integra GSR.


I'm starting to get the feeling that people find it hard to find a stock motor GSR nowadays and that they are rare?  Maybe so, I don't know, but I see alot of stock motor GSR's on craigslist.  Some of them , the whole car bone stock.

BAsically in my opinion, if you're a honda guy(which these guys are) You should know your integra's, becuase the older brother Integra Type R is what put honda on the import map and really blew it up for honda.
