1992 Acura Integra GS-R
86,000 Actual Miles
NO RUST
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!

2019 Acura ILX first drive | New looks, same lackluster performance
Mon, Oct 29 2018Acura knows what it takes to make a fun, compact car that enthusiasts desire. It did so for three decades with the Integra, which eventually morphed into the still fun RSX. Then the ILX came around for the 2013 model year, and the world collectively yawned. It's actually still yawning, and the 2019 redesign isn't doing a whole lot to change that. One might expect more wholesale changes from a car entering its seventh year on the market, but we're still staring down the barrel of the same 201 horsepower 2.4-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder and trick dual-clutch automatic transmission (which also features a torque converter for low-speed smoothness) from before. These pieces aren't necessarily the problem though. It's enjoyable to thrash the engine out to 7,000 rpm, and the dual-clutch snaps off surprisingly quick shifts when using the paddles in manual mode. It's a bit of a throwback to before all of Honda's performance engines switched to turbocharging for power. It pulls harder the more you wring it out, and begs to be paired with a slick-shifting six-speed manual like it was in the ninth-gen Civic Si. Sadly, everything else outside the powertrain (still) just misses the mark. The greatest part of Acura's old performance compacts was how they made you feel when you were driving them. There was an intimate connection between the driver and road at all times that is sorely lacking from the ILX. Turn in feel is soft and doesn't offer satisfying quick changes of direction. The old chassis feels its age in controlling body movements too. It all culminates in making the ILX feel like a larger car than it actually is. That's not to say the ILX handles poorly, though; it simply does so without any eagerness or feel — just like it has from the beginning. This is unfortunate because the ILX looks better than it ever has. Acura re-did the whole front nose from the A-pillar forward, and it attacked the rear fascia too. We got to check out and drive A-Spec trimmed cars, which add even more aggression to the styling but no performance upgrades. Sure there's three-too-many fake air vents, but the car finally grew some teeth compared to the ultra-bland looks from before. Props for not following the terrible industry trend of totally unreasonably-sized fake exhaust outlets too. The interior isn't as exciting.

Wed, 09 Oct 2013What Is, What Could Have Been, And What May Yet Be
History is largely unkind to losers. That's true in the world of politics and sports, and it follows on with a few caveats in the realm of automobiles.
In terms of cars, historic losers tend to be remembered in one of two broad ways. Every once in a while, unsuccessful or oddball models actually make reputational gains after some time away from the new-car marketplace. I consider the Saab 9-2X one of the recent poster children for this group; a car that moved like molasses on dealer lots in the mid-2000s but has morphed into a sort of hard-to-find, used gem in recent years. More often, though, that which was unloved when new remains unloved with tens or hundreds of thousands of miles on the odometer. Pontiac's seriously misunderstood Aztek has king status here (despite the wailings of oddball fan clubs across the nation), so much so that invoking "Aztek" as a pejorative stopped being pithy about a dozen years ago.
Acura, Penske reveal ARX-05 prototype racecar
Fri, Aug 18 2017CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA, Calif. — Acura pulled the cover off its striking Daytona prototype, called the ARX-05, as part of a new partnership with one of racing's most legendary names, Roger Penske. The racecar debuted Friday at The Quail, a vintage car show held during the week of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. Acura and Team Penske will campaign two cars next season in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar championship, starting with the Rolex 24 at Daytona in January. ARX is short for Acura Racing eXperimental, generation five. The car will run a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 engine that's based on the J35 series six-cylinder used throughout Acura's lineup. The body, designed by Acura global creative director Dave Marek's team, uses design cues from the company's road cars, including similar headlights. The chassis is based on the Oreca 07 setup. "We're already testing, and things are looking pretty good," said Art St. Cyr, president of Honda Performance Development and Acura Motorsports. Acura has raced endurance cars since 1991, finding success in IMSA and the former American Le Mans series. Two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Juan Pablo Montoya and Dane Cameron will drive one of the cars, while the other team to be announced later. Acura will face off against Nissan, Cadillac, Mazda, Oreca, Dallara and Multimatic Riley in the IMSA prototype field. The venture marks a return to sports-car competition for Penske, whose organization ran a Chevy Corvette in its first race at the 1966 24 Hours of Daytona and then operated victorious ALMS programs into the 2000s. Penske sees racing as a way to raise the image of Acura, whose cars he sells at his dealerships, Penske Automotive Group. "We want to take this brand to the next level," he said. "It's [racing] a core part of our brand and it's one of the ways we are validating our performance," said Acura vice president and general manager Jon Ikeda. After The Quail, the ZRX-05 is scheduled to appear at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion and in a featured area for concept and racing cars on the lawn at the Concours.
