[Hondatuner88]

I have to ask someone...Whats sooo special about a "special editon" 1993 acura integra? Anyone?

according to:
http://www.team-integra.net/sections/artic...p?ArticleID=731

apparently there wasn't a SE for 90-93 and 94 as well

86-89 trim
SE (or LS-S): Special Edition (or Luxury Series Special). Available in coupe only. From the LS, it added power windows, power door locks, and a moonroof. The SE was the most advertised model of the Integra as Acura felt the standard features displayed it's name in the best and showed what Acura was going to be all about.

Trim Levels

RS: Regular Series. Available in both coupe and sedan. No sedan available in 1998. Model dropped in 1999. Equipped with the B18B1 DOHC engine putting out 142 HP and 127 ft-lbs. of torque. In 1997, power ratings dropped to 140HP and 124 ft-lbs. of torque. As always, the stripped down model. Standard features were a cassette player, rear window defroster, and tilt steering wheel. Cassette player replaced with CD player in 1997.

LS: Luxury Series. Available in both coupe and sedan. From the RS, the LS adds air conditioning, power windows and door locks, cruise control, and a moonroof. In 1998, the LS became equipped with alloy wheels and in 2000 was given a leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob. The LS is most popular non-VTEC model Integra and arguably best value.

SE: Special Edition. Available in both coupe and sedan starting from 1995. SE's are only found in 1995 and 1996 model years until they were changed to be named the GS in 1997. From the LS, it added leather seats, alloy wheels on all years, and a rear wing spoiler.

GS: Grand Series. Available in both coupe and sedan starting from 1997. Same standard features as the SE.
GS-R: Grand Series Racing. Available in both coupe and sedan. Equipped with the B18C1 DOHC VTEC engine outputting 170HP and 128 ft-lbs. of torque. Same standard features as the GS minus the leather seats. However, leather seats ended up becoming a standard feature on the GS-R starting in 1999. Again, no auto transmission available for this car.

Type R: Type Racing. Available in coupe only starting from 1997. Not available in the U.S. in 1999. Equipped with fully tuned B18C5 DOHC VTEC engine outputting 195HP and 130 ft-lbs. of torque. Check the Type R Special for the technical differences on this car. Standard features were exclusive of the rest of the models and in 1997, included black mesh/suede bolstered seats with red stitching, mid-height rear wing, front lip spoiler, body colored side rocker panels, shaved door moldings, leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, power windows and door locks, and exclusive white powder-coated light-weight alloy wheels with 5-lug configuration. In 2000, added standard features were an aluminum shift knob, gunmetal lightweight alloy wheels, and air conditioning. As with the GS-R, no automatic transmission was available for the Type R. But if you were thinking about getting this car with an automatic transmission you shouldn't be thinking about this car at all.

90-93 for those too lazy to click the link

Trim Levels

RS: Regular Series. Available in both coupe and sedan. The beginning model was about as stripped down as the previous generation. It came standard with a tilt steering wheel and rear window defroster only.

LS: Luxury Series. Available in both coupe and sedan. Standard features included those on the RS plus cruise control and cassette player in 1990. In 1991, power windows and a moonroof were added. Power door locks were also standard in 1991 on the sedan model only.

GS: Grand Series. Available in both coupe and sedan. In 1990, it began by offering power windows and alloy wheels over the LS model. In 1991, power door locks and moonroof became standard on both the coupe and sedan.

GS-R: Grand Series Racing. Became available in 1992 and was equipped with Honda's soon to be legendary DOHC VTEC technology in the form of a 1.7L engine outputting 160HP and 117 ft-lbs. torque. It had the same standard features as the GS and was available in coupe only. No automatic transmission available, if you want VTEC in the Integra, you gotta go manual.

perhaps the 93 SE refers to the GS which they used in newer years, or maybe its a gsr?

no, theres defenatly a DA Special Edition...they have leather and every one I've seen is an automatic.

as one of the resident GURUs of the G2... there was an edition of the LS- called the LS-special (note the lack of the word 'edition')
there is a small badge under the LS on the right corner of the hatch that is solid with SPECIAL etched into it with 'pretty' lettering.

basically... options. leather standard... blah blah.. standard. so, not much. no changes to the motor.
that came in 91, i think.

the 92-93 integra had the GS-R. now that's not the 'special' it's the B17 vtec motor.

note the badge.... >>

DA = coupe (90-93) DB1 = 90-93 4 dr. DB2 = GS-R
