This is the only 1992/1993 Acura Integra on Ebay and is the only one that has been on here in a very long time.
Here is your chance!
History on the Acura Integra GS-R:
The Acura Integra GS-R model was first developed in 1992. It was only available in the second and third generation Integras.
The 2nd generation Integra GS-R model is equipped with a 1.7 liter VTEC (variable valve timing) engine which is capable of 170 horsepower.
The GS-R was the second car, after the Acura NSX, to get the VTEC engine. In the 1990s, the Integra GS-R was one of the most powerful non-turbocharged 4-cylinder cars available in the American market.
Information about the VTEC Engine:
VTEC engines are known to be reliable, so reliable that Honda or Acura has never had a warranty claim on the VTEC systems. The Specific engine that is in the Integra GS-R is known as the B18C1. The GS-R came equipped with a dual-stage intake manifold, ported exhaust manifold and a displacement increase from the second generation. The Variable valve timing technology was developed to get max power out of an engine yet still maintain reliability. The GS-R has a specific revolution per minute (rpm) where the VTEC will engage. When VTEC engages the camshaft lobes that are designed for lower rpm will switch over to the camshaft lobes that are designed more for higher rpm’s. VTEC is a solution for reliability and performance.
Production Numbers and rarity of this Integra:
Lets just say this took weeks and weeks and weeks to figure out. The following figures are based on running vins until they stop in sequence. Finally, I discovered that the rarest color was teal, with only 400 produced between the two years. To further speak to its rarity, aside from the low production numbers, this car came from the factory as teal.
1992 GSR (USA)
3120 (#000001 and #000002 unaccounted for) = 3118
1993 GSR (USA)
851 (#000001 unaccounted for) = 850
USA Total: = 3968
1992 GSR (Canada)
602 = 602
1993 GSR (Canada)
256 (#800001 unaccounted for) = 255
Canadian total: = 857
Total North American GS-R Production = 4825
That brings the total to 4825 (accounted for by Carfax)
Information on this particular Acura Integra GS-R:
This is a super rare and highly desirable Acura Integra GS-R. The original owner did the paint and body kit in the early 2000's. He trailered it to car shows once the paint and body were completed and put very few miles on it between then and the time he sold it to the second owner a couple of years ago. This vehicle has the original VTEC motor and transmission in it. Only 86,000 actual miles. It runs and shifts absolutely perfect. A thing to note about a worn VTEC motor, is the VTEC won't actually engage when it is supposed to, this VTEC engages flawlessly. The motor is bone stock with the exception of an air intake. The transmission is bone stock. The exhaust is after market and sounds excellent. This GS-R has not been beat on and has always been maintained to the highest standards. The interior on the vehicle is bone stock with the exception of a 6 CD changer mounted in the glove box, after market CD player, and different shift knob. There are no cracks anywhere in any of the plastic. No rips or tears in any of the seats. The headliner is perfect. Everything works perfect. AC, heat, sunroof, power windows, power door locks, cruise control, high beams, low beams, turn signals, and brake lights. This vehicle has never seen a winter and has never had any rust. There are no dents or dings on the body, which speaks to how well this vehicle has been stored and cared for. I took the vehicle out of storage to only take pictures. There was no expense spared on the custom paint job and body kit. The engine bay and door jams were all carefully painted. This Acura sports custom KONIG wheels and tires, that give it a great street look. The wheels are in perfect shape, no pitting or curb rash($380/wheel). The front left headlight has a few splintering cracks, and there are two blemishes which came from rock chips on the front right part of the hood.
You will be hard pressed to find another GS-R with these low of miles and history. Most of these cars have 200,000 miles on them or have been wrecked. I wouldn't be surprised if this GS-R is one of the lower mile ones still on the road and in existence. Excellent car to drive and enjoy, bring to car shows, or add some performance to under the hood. If you know this motor, you'll probably have a ton of fun doing that. I have put a very low reserve on this car. Please ask any and all questions. You will not be disappointed.
Thank you and Happy Bidding!

J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998
Wed, 12 Feb 2014For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.
8 cars we're most looking forward to driving in 2015
Mon, Jan 5 2015Now that 2014 is officially in the books, it's time to look ahead. And following our list of the cars we liked best last year, we're now setting our sights at the hot new metal that's coming our way in 2015. Some of these, we've already seen. And some are still set to debut during the 2015 auto show season. But these are the machines that keep us going – the things on the horizon that we're particularly stoked to drive, and drive hard. Jeep Renegade Not the Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Not the Ford Mustang GT350. Not the new John Cooper Works Mini. Nope, I'm looking forward to the adorable, trail-rated Jeep Renegade. And that's because I really, really, really like our long-term Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. I do not, however, care too much for the Cherokee's looks, and I really don't like its $38,059 price tag. The Renegade Trailhawk, meanwhile, promises much of the same rough-and-tumble character as its big brother, but at what we expect will be a more reasonable price (I'm personally wagering on the baby Jeep's off-road model starting at no more than $23,000). With a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a nine-speed automatic, it should also be a bit easier to fill than the V6-powered Cherokee. Also, I can't help but love the way the Renegade looks. It's like someone took a Wrangler, squished it by 50 percent and then handed it off to George Clinton for a healthy dose of funk. The interior, with its bright, expressive trims and color schemes should also be a really nice place to spend some time. I'll be attending the Renegade's launch later this month, so I'll have a much shorter wait than my colleagues. Here's hoping the baby Jeep lives up to my expectations. – Brandon Turkus Associate Editor Mazda MX-5 Miata Here's an uncomfortable truth: I'd rather spend a day driving a properly sorted Mazda MX-5 Miata of any generation on a winding road than I would nearly any other vehicle, regardless of power, price or prestige. It's not just that I prize top-down driving and enjoy the Miata's small size because it gives me more road to play with. I just find there's more motoring joy to be had with high-fidelity handling and an uncorrupted car-to-driver communication loop than I do with face-distorting power or grip – let alone valet-stand gravitas. But perhaps most of all, I love Miatas because they can deliver that level of feedback and driver reward at modest speeds that won't put the locals on edge or endanger lives – you can use more of the car more of the time.
2015 Acura TLX launch delayed
Tue, 22 Apr 2014Last week in New York, Acura pulled the wraps off its all-new TLX sedan - a midsize model that replaces both the TSX and TL in one fell swoop. In a bit of behind-the-scenes full disclosure, we were originally scheduled to get our first drive of the car in early May. But an intrepid reader forwarded us an email to Acura dealers saying that the on-sale date of the TLX will be pushed back, and subsequently, the automaker confirmed to Autoblog that the official media launch has been postponed, as well. Acura spokesperson Chuck Schifsky tells us that the 2015 TLX will now go on sale later this summer.
"We don't view it as a major delay," Schifsky told Autoblog. The TLX is "the most technologically advanced Acura" yet - even more so than the original NSX, Schifsky says - and thus, there are "lots of systems to get sorted out." When asked if there is a specific component to point to regarding this delay, Schifsky told Autoblog that it's "not any one thing."
"We have determined that it is necessary to modify the production schedule for the 2015 TLX, which will move the on-sale date to late summer."
