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
90s happening in the house
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 will include them all on this thread. I play driveway tetris between my two house, currently. I don't have the luxury of Houston land

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..
In reply to pimpm3 :
Yours is beautiful! Was. Looks great in white . Yeah I think my deal was good. New tires and alignment this week.
Did a coat of wash/wax/polish today
also new floormats on
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.
Time for new shocks and tires today. Koni yellow
Getting to the rear shocks top mount, not fun
Borrowed neighbors spring compressor last night
makes quick work. No more needing a friend to help.
the old shocks --- man pushed them against the ground, and nothing even pops back out. 0 rebound. Yikes
front strut bars off
Koni yellow come with 2 perches front for ride height and 3 perches rear
I kept the front at high, and rear at middle.
rears finished
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
