Default My new ride - 97 GSR

Well I've been waiting on this for a while...today I just picked up my buddy's GSR swapped Integra LS. I'm selling my 01 Civic and moving on to this! I had a shop put a Catalytic Convertor back on it , which knocked the whp down to 175, but it was at 192 before that. It's got one heck of a VTEC engagement compared to my Civic, and it revs to 8800 RPM. I'm loving it! Let me know what you think!

Nah, it's got a custom 2.5 all the way back, but I had them put on a Cat again (it didn't used to have one). Unfortunately that meant taking off the 22in resonator he had on it. The 192whp number also was with a Comptech icebox, which was replaced with an SRI. After those changes it went down to 175whp. Still not sure on the wtq yet, he lost the dyno sheet haha. It was 130 before, so maybe 125.


Thanks for the compliments guys! I've gotta get it cleaned up and maybe find some GSR leathers for the front (racing seats on a DD FTL), and I'll get some shots of the inteior and everything.

Coming soon: GSR or ITR front seats, short resonator (maybe), TSX Retro, and a hardcore detailing

And the engine bay (old shot, still with icebox and ITR header):
