I thought all GSR sedans came with leather 98+?

Anyway, these were always cool cars. Mine was a great car for the short period I had it (also helped me walk away from a pretty bad crash 13 yrs ago).

Good luck on your new endeavors.

Or anywhere. Seems like all Integras from that generation are usually completely ragged out, or modified beyond recognition.

Not all GS-Rs came with leather. Both GS-Rs i owned had cloth, which i actually prefer. IMHO, leather looks really cool, but requires more maintenance and in the so cal heat is annoying to sit on after the car has been baking under the sun. I guess that isnt so much of an issue in cars with cooled seats these days.

They are out there. Just keep looking. I found this one by using the save search feature on a popular used car listing site. i do not remmeber if it was cars.com or autotrader.com.

So been giving it some thought, gonna try one last plan to raise some money so that I can keep her. Hopefully it pays off enough. Will keep you guys posted. It will take a couple weeks though.

Glad to hear that you will see if you can keep her :wink:

Mine is doing well! Other than early last month she began misfiring... ended up being a burnt valve But as of now, I'm in the process of repairing it and I'm almost done. I had the head rebuilt along with some OEM maintenance (motor mounts, timing belt, water pump, bunch of gaskets etc). Its a great car and I hope to never get rid of it as long my circumstances permit that.

Edit: Heres a recent photo, winter set up is on (stock gsr wheels powder coated black chrome with blizzak tires)

That's a clean Integra. I just bought this one as a daily driver and the 3g TLS is taken a break in garage. Just did a full tune up and still have a small sputter problem. GLWS





Few dings here and there but the manual is real fun to drive.

Thanks. The wheels on your Integra are my favorite of all time. I had those wheels on my first Integra, a '97 model.

Looks like your passenger side headlamps are fogged up. A set of round terry cloth applicators from Autozone, start with 3M Plastic Cleaner (http://www.detailing.com/store/3m-pl...39017-8oz.html) and finish with 3M Plastic Polish (http://www.detailing.com/store/3m-pl...39010-8oz.html) and you'll be good for a while if done right.

Yea, looks like I am selling her. I want to keep her, but selling off other items so that I can keep her isn't a wise decision as I am not only trying to put money in my pocket, but also lower our monthly expenses and selling the Integra is one of the best ways to do just that. I'm not 100% sure I'll be getting the bike to get to and from my vanpool location. We're also looking at getting my wife a new car, which I've been wanting to do for a long while now, so that I can use her car instead. However, that means another monthly payment and we're in the process of getting our house refinanced and I want to avoid an extra payment if at all possible for at least another year.

Listed the Integra for sale on CG last weekend.

Anil, I responded to your PM earlier. My phone number and email address is in there. Texting or emailing would be easiest for me as I don't have the time to get on here like I used to.

It went to someone that is going to have fun with it. He wanted a clean car and was shocked at how clean mine was and snatched it up. He was really worried I was going to sell it to someone else.

He is planning on doing a ITR swap, but later on down the road. For now, he said he wants to put coilovers on it and put the stock GS-R blades back on. He was going to remove the rack as well. I don't think that car will ever be as stock as it is now though. Oh well, gotta do what you gotta do. I could have held out for another buyer if I wanted to, but this guy was the most serious out of all the other buyers that contacted me. Everyone else that contacted me was haggling me and making it hard. This guy straight up offered me the exact price I was hoping to get for it so I took it.

I thought I mentioned what I decided. Sorry about that. In the end, it made more sense to sell the car than to sell off some of my other valuables. Selling my other valuables just put money in my pocket; whereas, selling the car not only puts money in my pocket, but cuts my monthly expenditures. My wife and I are doing fine financially. But I'm throwing ~$4K away each year just in gasoline for commuting to and from work. So now if I can start back on the vanpool, using a motorcycle or my wifes car (if I buy her a new one) to get to/from the vanpool spot, puts a lot more money back into my pocket. With that $4K a year I would be saving, I could throw in a BT kit with a full engine build in the Avant!

This reminds me I have to get off my @ss and get something in the mail to you.

Perhaps it might help you with your decision.

Forgot to mention this one reply I received for my ad.

Hi, Will you able to part out your car for less? I have 5K cash .
I ignored the inquiry because of how retarded it was. I kept saying to myself, "Why in the hell would I want to part out a car that is completely functional, for less money?" I should have replied to the guy to ask him if he was retarded.
