Finally the owner of a ONE owner 1997 Acura Integra GS-R!
I bought this 1997 Integra GS-R from a woman who bought the car brand new from Acura of Bellevue where the entirety of it's service history was performed. I have amazing detailed and chronological ordered service history, the orginal window sticker, all the sets of keys, the original and mint condition Acura Owners Guide/Book that comes with it... The list goes on!
Really excited to get more content going on this car as well as my B5 S4.
Let me know what you'd like to see!

I am impressed with the fact that my mother had the good taste to buy one of these new in 1995 and keep it in such good condition - she's had tshirts covering the seats since she bought it. Milano red, original factory paint looks amazing for being more than 25 years old. She thought it was pretty good when someone offered her 6K for it a few years ago. She might flip if she what people are willing to pay for it now, but even so she probably wouldn't sell it. She loves it.

@XeblazeGaming 2 года назад

Make sure she keeps it.

@UpRoaryus 2 года назад

@@XeblazeGaming Of course! Because guess who gets it when she no longer drives? I am an only child...😁 (Though I do love my CRZ. If it were not for finding one of those for sale when my 95 Civic was stolen a couple years ago, the Acura would have been given to me already, since Mom bought herself a new Honda Fit. She still loves the Integra, though. Even as a late septuagenarian, she still appreciates something sleek and sporty. She probably would have wanted the Crz for herself, if it had the same power as the Integra, but I love it because it drives almost exactly like my civic EX coupe, and it's a hybrid and a hatchback.The acura would have been just as nice a car, but the milano red is a little flashy for me... I could see myself getting more traffic tickets in that Acura, as it attracts too much attention.)

@UpRoaryus 2 года назад

@@songlee1253 Well, they did FIND it about a week later, but it was pretty well gutted, sadly... They took just about everything they could take: my entire manual transmission, cut speakers out of the door panels, and even my laminated Thomas Guide street map of LA and Orange county! The bastards didn't even leave the leather dog collar and tags from my beloved Rhodesian Ridgeback that spent 14 years by my side - pretty much my entire adult life, before he died I used to leave them hanging from the rear view mirror as a way to let him live on, riding with me in the car as he loved to do. That was irreplaceable and not even worth anything to them at all. It still hurts not having those keepsakes of him... It broke my heart to look under the hood and just see straight through to the *ground* instead of what normally would be there in the engine bay. It wasn't worth putting it back together, as anything replaced would have been aftermarket parts and wouldn't be as reliable. It was sad to leave just the shell of her there in the tow yard like that, though. She deserved a better send off than that after so many years to getting me places. I drove it across country from New Hampshire to Los Angeles. It wasn't how I anticipated saying goodbye. In fact, I would probably be mourning the loss daily , even now, if I hadn't found out about the existence of the manual transmission hybrid Cr-Z by accident while seeking a replacement. I managed to snag a really nice 2013 6-speed MT EX with only 36K miles on it for sale and the guy lived less than 15 minutes away from me, having to sell it because his wife had gone blind and could no longer drive. It drives almost identically to my old coupe, except the seat is even more comfy and is even better looking. That crystal black pearl paint is so pretty, but it's a high maintenance shine. If's lucky that I love the Z so much, as it is the only consolation I have over the loss of my civic. My ma would have let me have her 95 Integra GSR and gotten a new Civic or a Fit for herself if we had not found that CR-Z, but I just don't have the right personality to be tooling around with 170 HP sports car in Milano Red - too conspicuous for me, for sure...

Terrific car. My nephew had the very same 97 car in the green color, which he bought new after college. Went to work for a tech co in Santa Clara, CA, got married, later 2 kids. Kept the Integra. He died unexpectedly, tragically, 2018. The car was in perfect original condition/70,000mi. His wife not knowing how to drive a stick signed the title, gave it away for free. (to my dismay, learning about it later).

@J.Wick. Год назад

I did this exact thing with my 1994 Prelude Si 5MT. Sebring Silver Metallic over Blue Interior :) . I've now owned it for 3 years. Bought from the original owner in 2019. 265k at this point. Had it resprayed, tinted, updated a few things like you (K&N, HIDs, LEDs in markers) New Master Cylinder, Rotors, Pads, ALL Suspension bushings replaced. This summer I plan on Shocks/Springs and probably Clutch/Flywheel along with some new tires. I also had a set of 1995 SE Prelude "Blades" from my first Prelude. Looks exceptional with those on it. Love yours, Love mine. They just don't make em like this anymore. Enjoy that gorgeous Teg.

@VirtualGuth 2 года назад

Gorgeous. I wouldn't change a thing, as my preference would be to enjoy this Integra for the awesome time capsule that it is. I like to appreciate older cars for what they are. This is a beautiful example all around, I really like this color combo. It's nice to look at such a well laid out interior that is void of any sort of infotainment screen - which will age about as gracefully as smartphones, tablets, etc. (that is to say not well at all). In another decade or so today's cars will begin to look outdated while your Integra will still look fantastic. Great car and great car buying story.

@Redvines69 3 года назад

Coworker of mine drove by an Acura dealership in 1997 and saw them unloading a new GSR, and stopped and bought it. Last February, he decided to buy a 2019 Civic SI turbo and the dealership was only gonna give him 500 bucks as a trade. I told him that was crazy so he sold it to me for 700, which I still think is crazy, but he just wanted more than the dealership was offering. White with black interior, not leather, but still nice. Everyone keeps saying it's crazy to find a single owner GSR that hasn't been all messed with.

@threepedalnostalgia1247 3 года назад

White with black leather specifically is exactly wha I I’ve been looking for for about 10 years (for the right one) but settled on this based on the service history and condition

I miss my 1995 LS SE bought it with 38,000 miles for 12,000 in 1999. I put ground control coil overs, AEM short ram intake, cat back exhaust, 4:1 headers, sway bars, short shifter and upgrade clutch’s + flywheel…. God damn was that an awesome car! Same color as yours. I drove it until 95,000 and beat the hell out of it without a single hiccup. When I say best the hell out of it I mean I seriously redlined it non stop and tracked it. It was so amazing and reliable…Best damn car!!!! Sold it for a RSX TYPE S in 2003 and that car I drove until 38,000 miles ironically and sold it in 2006 for a Mazda speed 6 (complete garbage)!!!!!!

The Black button that you mentioned at the end of your video is the reset for the factory installed alarm. Factory alarms always had the red light mounted in the middle of the steering column. Great unite until one of the door locks/switches goes on the blink then you cant lock the door with the key fob or arm the alarm. If you love your Integra, like I love mine, a kill switch is a good idea.

@Patrick94GSR Год назад

94 GSR here with 381,000 miles, bought in 2001 from the original owner with 88k miles at the time. All original engine and gearbox. I just drove the car over 1,000 miles this past weekend to the Classic Hondas at the Dragon meet. Car performed flawlessly and got 33+ average MPG. Even with many 2nd gear VTEC pulls on the Dragon. And yes I still have the original stock intake, stock header, exhaust and even the original muffler. It just has a K&N filter in the air box that I installed 21 years ago.

Oh, yeah, my power antennae quit working after about five years. Otherwise, fantastic!

I got rid of it in 2013 because at the time I had bought a new Honda Accord sport but seeing how they have increased in value over the years. Makes me regret that decision.

I just picked up a 1994 GSR sedan with a similar story - one owner, bone stock, dealer maintained. Planning on keeping it stock as well, though will probably end up with Koni yellows and H&R OE Sports. I like that you put an intake on it, I probably should have gone with that over the very mild Magnaflow muffler I had installed, since now the exhaust tends to overwhelm the sound of the intake and make the VTEC engagement less dramatic.

@threepedalnostalgia1247 3 года назад

Congrats! I also just put in new iridium NGK spark plugs and that no joke gained power back and you can hear both the vtec engagement better and the secondary intake at 5800 is crispier. It’s like a $40 DIY intake setup it’s VERY easy. I do need new shocks she’s a bit soft over the years!
