10k: Stock, Original Owner: 1995 Acura Integra GS-R

The 3rd generation Acura Integra is so fully integrated into the sport compact scene that it almost seems strange to see one that is factory stock and not covered with illest stickers. The ride height seems comically high and the wheels look tiny...but...if you are going to experience VTEC-yo in an Integra, this is the best way to do it.  Find this 1995 Acura Integra GS-R offered for $8,600 in SF Valley Los Angeles, CA via craigslist.

5k: Capacious Racing Vehicle: 1998 Honda CR-V, GS-R swap

Honda's first-generation CR-V was a unibody cute 'ute loosely sharing a chassis with the Civic, which is essentially an Integra, resulting in part-swapping shenanigans. The similarities aren't close enough to flood Craigslist with AWD-converted Civics, but enterprising tuners frequently use the 2.0L B20 block to fatten the torque curve of the revvy B16 in the Civic Si. Rarely do the parts flow the other way, because who wants a 5-speed, 8200-rpm, AWD crossover? Actually, that doesn't sound too bad. Find this 1998 Honda CR-V with GS-R swap for $5,995 in Oklahoma City, OK via Craigslist.

5k: Pre-Purchase Remorse: 1998 Integra GS-R sedan

The Acura Integra GS-R is the best car that you can't really enjoy. Even with 1990s Honda engineering (multilink suspension, VTEC inline-four revving to 8,200 rpm, one of the best shift feels this side of a 911) crammed into one compact sedan, it's a struggle to come up with what exactly you're supposed to do with it. Find this 1998 Acura Integra GS-R sedan for $4,500 in Salem, OR via Craigslist.

5k: One Owner: 1999 Acura Integra GS-R

The 3rd generation Acura Integra (1994-2001) was the final Acura to be named Integra in the US Market (although the torch was passed to the remarkably similar RSX).  The Integra sold well when new and became a huge hit in the sport compact scene once it became affordable for kids to modify; many have been attacked with nitrous systems, neon lights and plywood wings.  Finding a stock/clean 3rd generation Integra is quite difficult today and getting one from an original owner is almost impossible.  Find this 1999 Acura Integra GS-R for sale in Paterson, NJ for $6,300 buy-it-now on ebay.
