Popular Post bm3m5 Posted February 19, 2009 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) I am new to this site and my name is Ryan Carroll, and I just bought a 95 Integra GSR that is fully rebuilt and turbo charged. Has an LS block, all forged internals, edlebrock manifold, a pretty big old t3/t4 turbo. I'm not a gear head, but could not pass up the deal I got for this car. It is scary fast, and my friends and I came up with the best guess that it probably runs somewhere in the mid 11s based on other cars we all have driven. Anyways last Sunday I was taking it to get dyno tuned by Brian Turner at Dyno Tune Motorsports, and of course a rock or bolt broke through my valve cover and messed up the timing belt. The dyno was cancelled, and my new concern was getting it fixed before I drove it back to kentucky on Monday. Brian did an incredible job helping me track down some good people to help find a new valve cover, and he even posted a thread on this site to get some info. I had to drive the car to a nearby Acura dealership because I didnt have time to wait for the right people to respond. Even the guys at Acura had heard about my car before I even took it there because of this forum. This site is awesome and I have already spoke a bunch of really helpful and decent people who contribute to this cause and are probably members of this site. I will post pics of my gsr as soon as I can. http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu143/bm3m5/SANY0262.jpg Edited February 19, 2009 by Not Brian adding pics 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hal Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I'm not going to lie, I can't stand the front end of your car. That being said, I do like the rest. Welcome and I don't give out positive rep easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pat Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Aside from the front end and the queershit Acura logo on the hood, the rest of the car looks pretty slick. Welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin R. Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I don't find the front-end horrible for some reason. It could be in the insane cleanliness of the whole car. Damn that thing is shiny. Welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bm3m5 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I'm not a fan of th hood either, and I'm looking into a simple carbon fiber hood instead of dealing with the cost of painting it. The front end doesnt bother me but ive seen much better styles. The overall speed of the car and quality of the engine work sold me. I will get some good shots under the hood asap.

TTQ B4U Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 not that you can't do it, but get that baby detailed by one of the masters on this board. I've seen them create magic on black vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I didn't even notice the logo on the hood. Other than that and the front bumper, it really is a badass looking car. And under the hood shots are a must Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsey Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Aside from the front end and the queershit Acura logo on the hood, the rest of the car looks pretty slick. Welcome. I didnt even notice it at first. But yeah, the car is clean. IMO, trade those ricers parts for some stock parts and you are good to go. Oh and welcome, +rep.

Aesthetic_Influx Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Nice car. The front fascia isn't my favorite, but there are lot worse out there... and well, as long as you like it that's all that matters. It's refreshing to hear about a purposeful-built GSR. Welcome.
