Parts are coming from California to Marysville and they will probably have the parts on Friday. Optimistically I was told I could have a new engine together and installed Saturday??? but then it was maybe Monday. I'll be providing them with an aftermarket clutch as well.

At this point, I'm not rushed., knowing that the parts are coming and the car will be back on the road soon, I do miss driving it, but I'm spending more time with my Integra now and I'm enjoying my Integra GSR again...to think on the positive side of things. Makes me apprecaite the differences and similarities of the GSR to the S2000. Difference of course being Drivetrain which I miss having a RWD car, but the GSR provides similar fun factors in it's 8000 redline. I'm hanging in here.

Ahh, another S2000/Integra GSR owner! What year is the GSR? I've got a 95 with 133k on the clock now, still runs like a champ. I miss the kick you in the butt VTEC feeling when I drive the Integra. For as much noise as the GSR makes between 6k and 8k, I always feel that I should be going faster.

Make sure you check the oil in the Integra

Werd. I've got a 95 GSR ...(95 GSRs were the fastests ones made =)) with 121,000 miles and it still runs strong! The car burns oil, but I've been monitoring it since it's had 55 K miles on it doing my own oil changes and topping it off when needed and it's an awesome car that I still cannot convince myself to sell or get rid of. I'd miss it too much if I sold it. Off topic but, I'd like to see Honda revisit the body design and produce a RWD version of the Integra two door hatch. It would be more practical and would sell like hot cakes!

Something special about driving the GSR between 6k and 8k, of course the obvious being VTEC, but with an Apex N1 exhaust and AEM cold air intake on it... the intake charge and the exhaust note is pleasing to the ears...woooooooooooooooooot wooooooooooooooooooot it's something I don't get often with my stock S2000 (I've refrained myself from Modifiying the engine )so It's been fun driving the GSR. Another great DOHC VTEC engine!!!

Although now I'm attracting crazy racer teenagers that pull up next to me and peel out. Big differance from driving around in the S2000 verses the GSR haha
Some kid in a camaro was a car behind me in the other lane (we're in a two lane road) and he goes nuts on his engine and revs it up...it's probably my exhaust provoking him but I am totally minding my own business and he has his gf in his passenger so when we start moving I'm accellerating normally in traffic...he gets next to me, lifts off the trottle and his car's pathetic suspension causes a weight shift that just makes you want to laugh at. This causes his car to lunge forward and nose dive and then he hammers the gas and peels out...what a douch bag!
