How do you tell the difference between a 94 acura integra rs, gs, and the gsr?
The RS is very easy to tell because it doesn’t come with a moon roof unless it was installed as after market. The mirrors are not body colored either. The GS from the outside looks like the GSR except the GSR is only made in a 5sp. If your looking at a GS 5 sp. and the logo is missing or changed then you can pop the hood and see if it has the VTEC engine 170 horsepower vs. the GS 140 horsepower. It will say VTEC on the engine. I really doubt anyone would take a GS 5 sp. and swap the engine to a VTEC. The car you’re looking at here says its a Washington car with REBUILT on the title. I’m from Calif. so Washington laws may be different. I don’t know if that means it’s a salvaged car. If it’s salvaged that means it was an insurance write off with more physical damage to the car than what is was worth at the time. If it’s a salvaged title then the dollar value of the car is worth about 50% less than a similiar car with a normal title. You may want to check with your dept. of vehicle just t
I guess your interested in a genuine GSR… Vin number is the best way to tell… Type R’s were not available in 94 just GSR’s… Here is an example Vin number and from left to right and what it means: JH4DB754*RS000001 JH4 DB7 5 4 * R S 000001 (Manufacturer, Make and Type of Vehicle) JH4: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.
