I was also thinking of shaving the rear doors. I think it would give it a good look. Oh, and a 4" drop.
Anytime you want. Hopefully sometime next week, mine will be fixed after the parts come in. Then yours can have the whole cement pad to itself.

You might want to get that electric turbo thingy, and the turbonator and those magnets you put on the fuel line.

Nothing wrong on the GS-R itself, I'm sure Geoff was joking with the rice parts...

We didn't get the GS-R up here in Canada. Looks clean, you'll enjoy it for sure. I'm enjoying a BeaterCivic as well... things have to change when you can't afford 17mpg.
one of my friends has a GS-R, hes always showing off.. to me it was just an acura didnt know they werent sold in canada.

We only got the GS-R in two door form. And we didn't get the four-door model at all past 1997. Instead, we got a Civic sedan dipped in gold - the Acura 1.6EL.

FYI, for those of you who don't know what it looks like (of course you do, lol), my current ride - but in white:

I used to have a 1987 Honda Integra (they were sold as Hondas here - we don't have the Acura brand).

It wasn't a bad car, considering it was the base model 1.5 litre 12-valve DX. It looked smart enough but structural rust got it in the end. Here'* a piccy of mine:
