58K-Mile 2000 Acura INTEGRA GSR Sedan 5 Speed Manual

@TATSU KAZUYA With your comment, “you were not on the assembly line 26 years ago”..most of us were not (would be awesome if we were, great times)….that does not answer the swapped speedo on the cluster. Great find, and it is correct that ALL GSR/Type R state “premium unleaded fuel only”. Now that this is known to the public and this listing will forever be on here, you are going to have a tough time proving any of us freaks and nerds with these cars. I was all in until the paint work and now the cluster.

@iburnslabs I was in the same boat as you….just another Integra that has a story….

@seller No problem at all. I have a couple of these low-mile beauties myself, although mine are coupes. I know firsthand how special and increasingly hard to find these cars are. Give it another five years and people will be wishing they had taken this four-door home. The market has a funny way of catching up to rare, well-preserved examples, especially ones with documented history and this level of originality. Best of luck with the auction. No matter where it lands, it’s a fantastic car and someone is going to end up with a very special Integra.

All US spec GS-R clusters say Premium Unleaded Only. JDM spec did not but do have the 8000rpm redline. It was even in the 1994 Integra car brochure. That is likely a JDM cluster in a USA car, and go figure the seller also sells JDM spec imports. Did they ship you this cluster when they shipped you that Evo?

@afrob12345 Thanks so much for your comment. It honestly means more than you probably realize. A large reason I’ve stepped away from certain groups of cars is because they seem to attract a level of negativity that I’ve rarely experienced anywhere else. I knew listing a rare, 26-year-old car would invite questions, and I welcomed that. That’s why I encouraged PPIs, made the car available for in-person inspections, answered every question I could, and tried to be as transparent as possible. What I wasn’t prepared for was how quickly speculation became accepted as fact. Some people made definitive claims without ever seeing the car, without inspecting it, and without offering proof of their own. Meanwhile, the documented history of the car, the Carfax, and the willingness to let anyone inspect it in person seemed to carry very little weight. I wasn’t standing on the assembly line 26 years ago, and neither was anyone else commenting. Manufacturing variances, running changes, and simple oversights happen every day, even with modern vehicles. Yet there never seemed to be any room for that possibility or any grace extended in my direction. Every small detail was interpreted in the worst possible light. If I’m being candid, that’s the part that has genuinely hurt. Behind this auction is an actual person who invested time, money, and a great deal of care into presenting this car honestly. Instead of being treated like someone acting in good faith, it often felt like I was being treated as though I was intentionally trying to deceive people. That’s a difficult thing to experience when you’ve done everything you reasonably can to be transparent. The internet has a way of removing the humanity from these interactions. It’s easy to type accusations when there’s a screen between you and another person. It’s much harder to remember that there is someone on the other side reading every word. I don’t expect everyone to agree with me, and healthy skepticism is part of buyin …

This is the final time I’m going to address you. You’ve been on this auction since the very inception. You’ve commented since the 14th. Not just yesterday morning. If you actually truly were trying to make a good faith effort on investigating this car, you would’ve done so earlier this week when this car was already on your radar. Not the literal day before and the day of the end of the auction. Stop the bad faith rhetoric guys. It’s getting exhausting.

I inquired about mileage documentaion yesterday morning. But hey, good luck with the sale…

No, no I’m not going to be able address any further questions within the last two hours of the auction on a Saturday when I’m out of town. I had an open invite for PPI’s and direct contact which you’ve chosen to not only taken advantage of but decided to only comment. I had a few people come by to do PPI’s and decided my attention them would be more of a priority. I wish you luck in finding a great GSR elsewhere 🙂

I’ve simply requested some documentation for clarity. Which it appears the seller isn’t going to address.

@seller @eveyone It’s unfortunate how quickly an auction can be affected by a few negative comments or speculation. All it takes is a handful of people making assumptions or trying to prove a point, and suddenly bidders start questioning an otherwise outstanding car. At the end of the day, this is a $25,000+ collector car, and serious buyers should evaluate the vehicle as a whole—its documentation, condition, originality, and overall presentation—not focus solely on one minor detail that may have varied during production. Healthy discussion is part of any auction, but speculation presented as fact can unfairly impact both the seller and the final result. It’s disappointing to see a quality car potentially affected by comments that may not tell the full story.

I registered here to bid on this car, but after reading the comments, looks like the speedometer may have been replaced at some point. To help clarify this, could you please take close-up photos of the two Phillips-head screws above the instrument cluster bezel? I think we’d like to see whether there are any signs that the screws have been turned or removed. Thank you.

@TheStig A – I was simply expressing my concern based on extensive previous experience (which has zero to do with internet lore). B – Asking if you could produce documentation reflecting milage between years 2004 to 2020. To make me feel more comfortable as a bidder. Nothing more nothing less. What I’m taking away from your responses is that you’re not willing or able to post any additional documentation and to get a PPI if I want anymore information? Am I understanding correctly?

@seller When you choose to post your car on an auction site unfortunately you will be subject to comments both true/false and good/bad. I don’t usually post on auctions or forums but in the interest of an honest auction I have to speak up. You screen shot other clusters and those are either KM clusters or non-GSR with the automatic transmission. I looked at the almost 90 listings for US SPEC on Bring a Trailer of both 2 door and 4 door GS-Rs and Honda is VERY consistent. They ALL say Premium Unleaded. So even though the Tach is the correct one for the GS-R the Speedo could have been easily replaced by itself as that also is the part of the cluster that has the mileage counter. Perspective collectors please also note the windshield has been replaced and is aftermarket. So whoever is interested or wanting to buy this car I would have the car and cluster specifically inspected. Appreciate the seller and his openness to welcome PPIs. Looks like a beautiful example otherwise. Good luck with the sale.

One thing I genuinely find puzzling is the certainty with which some people are treating the fuel gauge stencil as definitive proof of anything. If even non-GSR Integra clusters can be found with different fuel gauge wording—or no wording at all depending on production—why is there suddenly an assumption that every GSR cluster must have been produced with absolute, unwavering consistency? That simply doesn’t follow. It seems like people are starting with a conclusion and then trying to make the evidence fit it, rather than looking at the car objectively. If you’re searching for a “smoking gun,” it should be something meaningful—not a minor production stencil that Honda was never known for applying with absolute consistency across every vehicle. Meanwhile, the most obvious identifying characteristic of a genuine GSR cluster—the 8,000 RPM redline—is sitting right in front of everyone, yet that somehow gets overlooked while attention is focused on a small variation in fuel gauge printing.

One final point I’d like to address concerns the instrument cluster, as there have been several comments suggesting it may have been replaced. Frankly, I find that conclusion to be based more on internet speculation than on the actual details of the car. The argument appears to hinge on the wording near the fuel gauge. However, anyone who has spent significant time around 1990s Hondas knows there were numerous production variations in labels, decals, suppliers, and minor cosmetic details. Even base-model Integras can be found with different wording—or no wording at all—around the fuel gauge depending on production. Small manufacturing variations like these are not unusual. What’s much more important is identifying the cluster by the features that actually define it. This cluster has the correct 8,000 RPM redline specific to the GSR. Every other U.S.-market Integra trim redlines lower. Ironically, some of the same self-appointed “fact checkers” claiming this isn’t a GSR cluster seem to have overlooked the single most obvious characteristic that distinguishes it. Sometimes the simplest explanation is the correct one. Not every minor production variation points to a conspiracy or a parts swap. Occam’s Razor applies here: the most likely explanation is simply that Honda had minor manufacturing variations over the production run. As for the mileage, there appears to be speculation there as well. We have service invoices documenting mileage over the years, registration records dating back to when the car was new, and the original owner’s manuals and accompanying documentation. Those records tell a consistent story and support the indicated mileage. Again, for anyone who wants absolute certainty, this is exactly why I have repeatedly encouraged pre-purchase inspections. A quality PPI typically costs only $100–125—less than many people spend on dinner—and provides infinitely more useful information than pages of speculation from individuals who have never physically …

@zculbreth good catch on the Cluster, in my past owned Integra’s and according to the interwebs… the GSR ALWAYS had “Premium Unleaded Fuel Only” on the cluster and the RS/LS/GS ALWAYS only had “Unleaded Fuel Only” written there (Someone please correct me if we are wrong) Unfortunately this points to the speedo/odo head being replaced at some point and obviously then would suggest the mileage isnt correct…. typically those are only swapped for 1 reason. Im sure the selling dealer will defend this even tho he didnt own the car until recently and knows nothing about its past, just like he defended the repainted front bumper initially and was proven wrong, but unfortunately I think that’s a smoking gun here. Sucks because I just registered to bid on the car, I wanted to bid on this as its exactly what ive been looking for.

I’m struggling a bit with a couple things. 1 – Every GSR I’ve ever been in (I’ve been in quite a few) had a gauge cluster the stated “Premium Unleaded Fuel Only” not just “Unleaded Fuel Only”. 2 – The 16 year gap of documented mileage on the Carfax. Do you happen to have any documentation that reflects mileage from 2004 to 2020?

I also think it’s important to keep this car in context. This isn’t a Ferrari that spent its entire life under a cover in a climate-controlled collection. It’s an Integra GSR—a car that was affordable, fun to drive, and for years was viewed simply as another used Honda. Because of that, the overwhelming majority were modified, raced, stolen, neglected, or simply driven into the ground. This car survived the tuner era, when countless Integras were heavily modified or stripped for parts. It survived the daily-driver era, when these cars routinely accumulated 200,000 to 300,000 miles because they were so reliable. And it survived the era before people truly recognized their collector value, when clean, original examples were often treated as inexpensive commuter cars instead of future collectibles. Finding an unmolested, low-mileage GSR sedan today isn’t difficult because they weren’t good cars—it’s difficult because so few escaped those decades intact. That’s why originality, documentation, condition, and mileage matter. You’re not simply bidding on a 26-year-old Honda. You’re bidding on a remarkably well-preserved example of a model that was used exactly as Honda intended, while so many others disappeared through modification, abuse, accidents, or attrition. Collectors understand that rarity isn’t created only at the factory—it is also created by survival. In my opinion, that’s exactly what makes this car special.

Thanks again to everyone who has asked thoughtful questions and taken a genuine interest in the car. Healthy skepticism is part of buying a collector vehicle online, and I welcome it. However, there is a clear difference between conducting due diligence and making assumptions based on speculation. My goal is to provide facts, documentation, and transparency—not engage in endless debates over hypotheticals. To address the recent concerns, I’ve uploaded a brand-new driving video with the trunk completely empty. The knocking heard in the original video was nothing more than luggage that had been left in the trunk and forgotten about before filming. The new video demonstrates normal driving, including traversing speed bumps in both directions, with no abnormal noises. I’ve also uploaded additional photos of the VIN stickers, including the front bumper. I personally spoke with the previous owner, a gentleman in his 70s, who confirmed that the bumper was professionally refinished many years ago because of accumulated rock chips—not because of an accident or collision repair. The original VIN sticker remains intact, and the quality of the paint match speaks for itself. Beyond that, I’d like to address the bigger picture. This is a 26-year-old Integra GSR with just 58,000 miles that has been driven, maintained, and preserved—not neglected or turned into a project car. It starts easily, drives exceptionally well, shifts properly, the A/C blows cold, and presents exactly as a well-cared-for, low-mileage example should. No honest seller can claim to know every single event in the life of a 26-year-old vehicle, and I won’t pretend otherwise. What I can do is represent the car accurately, answer every question honestly, provide documentation when requested, and make the vehicle available for inspection. For those who truly want certainty, a professional pre-purchase inspection is inexpensive—typically around $100 to $125 at a reputable shop. We encourage PPIs on every veh …

Yes, that banging noise! and waiting on Vin label sticker for the repainted/replaced front bumper 🙂

Hi @seller, yes what’s the banging noise?

What’s banging in the car during the video?

The vin label sticker hides underneath the black bar that runs across the very top of the bumper cover. Only way to confirm 100% 🙂

@seller of course not the fender bolt. Bottom right of photo #107, do you see the upper bumper bracket that bolts with that darco coated 10mm bolt? That plastic piece is always matte black from factory. Most lazy or unaware bodyshops spray those brackets over. Just wanted to know why the paint work and IF it is actually the original bumper.

@seller picture #107 for reference, see the 10mm bolt on the bottom right? Those brackets were sprayed over. Any more info would be great, sorry for the OCD, my collection is extremely original and I want to continue that

@seller thank you for your response. The front bumper cover was 100% replaced/and or repainted. See the bumper tabs panted white on both sides? Every Integra, they are not paint matched. Evident of a lazy respray/repair. I would be surprised if the original vin label sticker is underneath the black bar up top. Us freaks nerds and collectors want to know this stuff please 🙂

Hi there @HondaHoarderOG thanks for your interest. Just a small note, there is no repainted front bumper cover mentioned on the listing and the carfax also reports no accident. This car has been preserved in a private collection for a few years and has been kept largely off the road 🙂 No accidents to worry about. Hope to see you bid!
