is there a way to look at the VIN and know if it is a GSR or a LS and what year it is?? I have a tranny that i bought and it has the VIN tag on it and i want to know if it is a GSR or a LS.
thanks

 

Tell me and I'll look it up 4 u

 

the first 3 letters/numbers is how you recognize them..DC2 is for GS-R and Type R models and DC4 is RS, LS, GS (non-vtec integras)

 

i thought dc2 was just 2 door integras and db7 and db8 were the 4 doors. i guess i learned something then. thanks

 

stealth, your pm box is full

 

nope as far as 2 doors go, DC2 is the gsr, and DC2R is the typeR. all other models are dc4's

 

ok, but is there a way to find out what year it is without doing a VIN check?

btw you are a wheel whore, i just saw you at the track event and you had the polished slips and now you have c8's looks good though

 

this is for the USA market 3rd generation Integras:

Example VIN
JH4DC2381RS000001

Separate the VIN like so

J= Country of origin
J: Japan

H= Brand
H: Honda Motor Co. Ltd.

4= Vehicle classification
4: Acura Passenger Vehicle

DC2 = Body and engine type.
DB7: 4dr B18B
DB8: 4dr B18C
DC4: 2dr B18B
DC2: 2dr B18C

3= Body and transmission type
3: 2dr 5spd
4: 2dr auto
5: 4dr 5spd
6: 4dr auto

8= Vehicle grade
1: Type R
4: RS
5: LS
6: GS/SE
8: GS-R
9: GS-R w/ leather seats

1= check digit, disregard

Looking at the example VIN you can tell that the Integra is a 1994 GSR 2dr manual

 

what i told you was for 2 door integras only
