How to tell a GS-R?

[Vip09]

I've been wondering this for a long time.. how you actually tell a GS-R from any other Integra. Are there any distinguishing marks or anything? For example, on the new celicas.. to tell if it's really a GT or GT-S you have to look at the rear brakes. If they're disc brakes, it's a GT-S.. if they're drum brakes it's a GT.

usually you can see a silver badge that says DOHC Vtec under the right rear brake light. Other than that, It'll have a wing, which is an option for the other models too, but a GSR always came with a wing.

GSRs have rims like the ones in pepsihatman's sig or the fat fives (a little different version of those rims 94-97) the redline is 8100 rpm and the engine says DOHC VTEC on the valve cover and the engine is b18c1 compared to the b18b (LS, GS, SE)

Thanks for the info guys!

GS-R's also came with LS mesh wheels, which were available on both nonvtec, and vtec Integra's. Except the "R" of course.

Don't fool yourself, gt-s are quick little machines... 14.7 does seem a little low but with a good driver and good tires it is understandable. Usually i've seen them run 15.0 flat, about same if not a hair quicker than a gs-r.

14.7 is very possible for a gt-s.. just takes lots of practice with a good driver. The GT-S is very hard to master because of its narrow powerband. Other GT-S's on newcelica.org have gotten 14.7's also stock w/ full interior. Stripped interior will get mid 14's in a GT-S.

And here's the slip. My tires suck (Toyo Proxes FZ4).. so I could only get 2.3 60's.

A civic hatch. He was running low 10's.

i was almost a fan of the new celica till i saw one at the track ( a gt-s) and it ran a high 20sec now i no this was prob cuz of the driver but still that was the slowest thing ive seen on the track other than a old cherokee
