2000 Acura Integra GS-R

If you’re into Integras, you already know how hard it is to find a clean GSR. Most of them were either daily-driven into the ground, stolen, or modified so heavily they lost their originality years ago. That’s what makes this car such a standout — it’s a 2000 Acura Integra GSR, the very last year Honda ever built the GSR, and it’s an extremely rare USDM left-hand-drive example that was shipped from Japan. You don’t see that every day, and it makes this car instantly more interesting than the average GSR on the market.

What’s even better is that it’s still running its original B18C1 motor. Anyone who’s been around these cars knows that’s the heart of what makes them special. But instead of being left stock, this one has been built the right way, with a Garrett T3/T4 turbo package and all the supporting hardware to make it reliable and fun. We’re talking an AEM fuel rail, custom headers, a proper blow-off valve and wastegate setup, an oil catch can, and a Stage 4 clutch so it can handle the extra torque. It’s dialed in at around 9 pounds of boost, putting down about 340 wheel horsepower — more than enough to wake up the car, but still within a safe and usable range. And with Brembo brakes at all four corners, it stops just as confidently as it goes.

On the outside, it looks the part too. The car wears glossy black paint, aftermarket wheels with red accents, and a clean lowered stance. It’s aggressive without being over the top, which is exactly what enthusiasts want from a build like this. Inside, it’s all business — Honda’s driver-focused interior, supportive seats, simple gauges, and that raw, analog feel you just don’t get anymore.

The best part? Even with all the upgrades, this GSR hasn’t lost its identity. It can be brought back to stock form if the next owner wants to keep it collector-pure. That’s huge for long-term value because the GSR market is only going one way: up. Type Rs have already gone through the roof, and clean GSRs are right behind them. Having a final-year 2000 model, with USDM LHD provenance and the original engine still intact, makes this one of those cars that will always have a line of buyers waiting.

For an enthusiast, this Integra offers the best of both worlds: the thrill of a turbocharged build with the pedigree of a rare final-year GSR. Whether you want to carve backroads, turn heads at a cars-and-coffee, or preserve it as a piece of Honda history, this car gives you options. It’s rare, it’s fast, it’s authentic — and it’s the kind of GSR you only come across once in a blue moon.
