Nice car, my buddies got a 4 door. Here's a free mod for you. Take the top half of the airbox off. Pulls much harder above 6000, once the secondaries open up, the car screams. Big difference.

98.5 SVT Contour

By the way they never made a purple whatever GSR....it was supersonic blue pearl which is a really nice color. It sucks that you can't mod it. If you do anything first..stick a ITR (integra type r ) manifold. Then vtec will sound really nice.
The GSR's I've riden in the VTEC is very noticable. Don't know about the outside. I bet my modded SE would be very close to a GSR. I've ridden in a 4 door and it felt pretty quick. I was amazed. Those tail light look fine. Just don't get the clears. Clear fronts would look good however.

In the gsr vtec kicks in around 4500. But the sencond intake path is not open until 5700, so the actual loundness of the vtec isn't noticible until the second intake path opens up. The b16 and type r have a single port intake manifold, so when the vtec kicks in, they go from quiet to loud. The gsr has more of a 3 step process. It goes from quiet to a nice growl when vtec kicks in, to a loud wail from the intake when the second intake path opens up.

p.s. Whats up todd? I hear you guys are gettin more snow down there!!! Whats going on?

nice choice i like those body stlye integras, but you should get the JDM front end for it to get rid of those round head lights.
the JDM front end runs about $1900 for a OEM fiberglass conversion and $2800 for a OEM metal conversion


the japanese one aways looks so much better

good luck with it.
but please at least get that thing lowered..looks like 4x4

2000 SVT (silver)

Anyone want to start a pool on how long it is before it gets wrecked in an accident which GSR Guy is culpable in?

And yes Dan, I have been drinking, but it's ok, even sober I think you're an immature crybaby.
5 stars for you. Wow and I thought I was harsh on him in the Chicago forum...

Rich kids suck I'm just amazed mommy and daddy only got him a 99! I told him to keep trying and he might get a brand new car if he totals this one. It's not like his (parent's) Contour got totalled because of someone else-- he caused the accident!

Someday you'll have to work for something GSRBoy... eek

-EDIT- ya know I'm just bustin your balls Dan-- yeah I'm jealous. peace
