Getting some coffee on the way home. 4 Door, GS-R. 1 owner, all records at dealership. Timing belt/water pump/clutch all done at dealer, receipt says $3,100.  Scottsdale born and bred. I have had quite a few 91-93 Integra, including the rare B17, Aztec Pearl 93 GS-R.  Been out of that game a long time, but have had a new TSX Wagon in garage for family duty.  Wasn't looking for it, but kind of fell in my lap, so I rescued it.   Leather interior, cruise fantastic. Never had the the 94+ chassis. Never liked the 4 headlights, but due to it being a 4 door, kind of grew on me. Of course, finding them in 4 door guise, seem impossible, especially stock 1 owner. 

 

First impression, the ride and noise level are as expected which is to say decent by my standards. 3900 at 80mph, isn't as buzzy as I would have expected, maybe the leather and some sound insulation is helping.   Pleased how there is no squeaks or rattles. Love the eagerness of the motor. I know these are torqueless wonder, but maybe its the gearing, feels fantastic and scoots nicely. Pillarless window, no whistling noise. Everyting works. 

Seller was good. Wanted to make sure I don't "modify," yet.   Got tires on order from Tirerack and a set of Koni Yellows.. Install next week.

Forgot the couple of pics. SETH approves. Which is important  :)  She is 20 years old, after all. Will have to get CA emissions, and CA plates.

My neighbor had a 1996 Honda Accord EX, he bought new. That car was called Heather Mist Mettalic.  This color looks exact to that. But I am not sure of the code or anythig. I am not too familiar. I know back then that Honda Accord was a grandpa color.

Per the 3 inch binder, it was dealer installed, after PDI, but pre delivery. 

 

Records also show new radiator, and new brakes about a 1 year ago. $1100 for radiator at dealer?! GEEZ.

Wow, I don't remember ever seeing a 4-door one of those. It kinda looks like an Accord with an Integra nose on it, to be honest. But in a cool way.

Its funny. The grandpa color, I used to hate. Polished/shiny wheels I used to hate. Now that I am older than dirt, both I seem to appreciate. Hah! 

 

For those who are interested there was a 4 door ITR as well. under-the-radar-the-db8-integra-type-r

As stated above, I approve. Neat car. The more cars I see in your background shots the more I feel like we need to see pictures of all nine of them.

I just sold a one owner bone stock 1996 GSR  sedan with 108k.  Great cars! 

You got a steal at $3100.  I sold this one for $7000 almost instantly, probably should have asked more in hindsight..

that is absolutely mint.  nice grab and i hope it gives you some great miles.  i always thought the 4 door tegs were the "cool" ones just by virtue of being more functional, rare, and different.  come to think of it, i don't know if i've even seen a 4 door on the road in the last decade.

It's weird, down in Tampa, I used to see far more 3 doors, but within the last 5 years or so all I ever see are four doors. It seems all the 3 doors are disappearing.

Thank you Scotty. I never see them on the road at all. In any event, all Koni yellow are here. Renting a spring compressor, hope I can finish it today. Will update with pics.

Out here,  you still see a lot more DC chassis coupes. DA I hardly see, RSX I don't see much.

Borrowed neighbors spring compressor last night

As far as settings go,  since  it's all adjustable, I am starting with middle setting 

 

I have never owned konis before, thus my experience is mostly with Bilsteins these days  and some Teins a long time ago
