Hello, Im really new here, I just bought an '98 Integra gsr bout 2months ago or so. I love the car, bought it as second car, needs minor body work that is it, everything else is great. Im not really sure what to do with the car, Im not a huge car guy, but I would like to do some tastly mods, a turbo, which I already have the full kit. I would like some opinions on what to do, which mods, if the turbo is something efficient for a complete stock motor.
Thanks, my name is James, I am loving the site already.
got some pics posted, check em out, the car needs a cleaning, sorry!!

Not a car guy and going to put a turbo on... Awesome! Not giving you a hard time, it's just a funny combination of phrases!

haha, yea that is a funny combination, guess I could of phrased that a bit better!! I have owned crx's, and civic hatches in past, but moved out of the car stage into cycling, which im still in, but getting back into cars, which has brought me to this site!!
Thanks for the welcome!

Welcome James! :wave: I've always thought highly of 98+ GSRs... it's the next best thing to a ITR. :) Post pictures when you can but I hope you can make it out to the next meet! :D

Nice! I say loose the grill thingy in the bumper and the blue stuff in the engine bay and then lower it. :)

KeithYea I plan on doing that sometime soon, the way you see it is the way i bought it, i mean its not horribly bad, but its kinda tacky as well, but lowering it is in the future once i find a good set of springs, Im not really too high in funds right now, so if anyone has any cheap parts they can part with, that would be awesome!!

welcome to the site! that's a lot of miles for a turbo to be put on, but it could work.. I would just lower it and enjoy it!
jonathan, the 98+ front and rear bumpers make a huge difference IMO..

For me it's the front bumper and headlights...

I'm not discounting H/As choice to revamp them, I agree they do look better, but you shouldn't shun the elders just on some trivial aesthetics (yeah, they came with some aero advantages...). In that case, I'd take a JDM C-West front over all.
