Alright /o/ I have a question and need some input. I'm about

If its it going to be your daily then buy the GS-R. If you have a daily and this will be a summer/weekend car then buy the RS.

Yeah this is going to be a weekend/fun project. I really do dig the idea of making it my own from an RS but I'm also weighing resale value. I know no man what I do it's still an RS and won't have the residual value the GS-R will

Just get the GS-R anon. You will never have true VTAKs even if you do a LS-VTEC mod, and depending on where you are it will never pass emissions.

As far as insurance costs, it shouldn't be all too much, it is a honda after all.

If this is your only car do not start a build on it. The car will be decommissioned for an indefinite amount of time.

Of course, you can still do bolt ons and what not but it would be unwise to do a full motor build on your only vehicle.

>What would you do /o/?
save up for something with a veee ate

If you are worried about resale value then car modding isn't for you. You will always loose money on your car.

For a project I think starting with a RS is a great Idea. It is the lightest off all the third gen Integras. It doesn't even come with ABS.

It's not a main concern at all but the thought was there. Unfortunately it's the old jew in my bloodline that makes me think stuff like that but it's easy to silence. The weight is definitely one of the factors I'm thinking about as well. I was actually surprised at how much lighter it was. Thanks for the input!

Could get a GSR sedan, I see them selling for less since they're not "sporty". I think they'd be less insurance wise, I don't think gsr gost more to insure than rs/ls but I could be wrong.

what you really want is a type R though, right?

I would just save up a bit more and wait for the right car to show up.

What I really really REALLY want is to get a type R and go jdm nuts including the rhd conversion but that is just way out of my price range right now. However I can go ahead and get the type R and then keep saving. Has anyone here does a project like that? Any guidance or advice?

Buy an RS and go that route.
If you really want a B18C you can pick one up from your local motor importer (literally look online) for about ~2k or less, with the added bonus of it likely being a B18C5 JDM block.
GS-Rs (especially stock) are quickly becoming taxed to shit. I payed 5k for mine and knew I overpaid (dumbass me got into a bidding war)

I've now turned down 3 offers of 5k for it since I got it. You will either get taxed to shit by assholes like me or inherit Jose's backyard beater if you buy a GS-R.
Atleast with the RS you get what you're paying for without the silly vtec tax.

Great advice dude thank you!

Just look at it like this m8. 3k for a clean RS auto, 2.5k at max for a JDM b18C + trans, and 500 dollars of work gets you a faster car than the GSR (more HP + lighter) for just 1k more, and that 1k would probably be spent unfucking the base GSR you picked up
