Acura Integra Type R : The True Type R 

My first Acura was a 1995 GSR then a 2001 yellow Type R!!!! Still have both cars.. all original no aftermarket parts and both cars with at least 60 thousands miles.

Once again your page and content is so awesome I love the type R it's so funny the setup that he has now with something similar I had in my 93 hatchback back in 2005 had eBay DC headers and am cold air intake 6 Puck clutch. But then down the line people started getting jipped because the JDM GSR also says B18c.

Wow that thing accelrates and shifts so wonderfully violent! As always, thanks for the upload Gary!

The B18c Type R sounds so amazing and violent👍😍

These motors are amazing I had a EK9 clone complete with the B16B swap that switchover is addicting!!

Excellent video man, keep doing these type of videos

Awesome vid. I never got to drive one of these, along with the fun to drive 99-00 Civic Si. But I DO still have my 1997 5 speed base model Prelude, with JDM upgrades (H22A, and an M2B4 which has a Factory LSD with 4th gen gearing), and much more. Have had it since 2001, and I cant part with it. Thank you for your vids. Keep it up!

Absolutely love the Integra Type-R. Super impressed with the video! 👍🏼

Seeing these true type r"s come out of the wood work warms my heart.

You're making really great and informative videos. Thanks for these.

I like the us front, the bug eyes..I think the jdm front looks like mini Accord front end

vague steering cold be age related as well. they are normally very tight.

That JDM front is so nice

I love your channel man ! Your one of the very best car reviewers I know! Keep up the awesome content :) .

Hey I love your videos I think it will be unique if you give history and the becoming of mugen , spoon sports, nismo, amg....etc thanks bro keep up the great videos

Would take the dc2 type r any day, true classic jdm, not too much technology but enough to make it perfect, true naturally aspirated engine that's high revving, light easy to fix. it's just a 1.8 that makes 200 hp easy. And also made with true heart and potential. To become a legend in those who seek for a true honda.

I would get the original Acura type R, just because It's a classic

If it ain’t a type R then it ain’t a tight car

Dude you ROCK!

2000 integra GSR was my first car and man I miss it

I'm not a huge Honda guy but this one is so cool. Only complaint I have about that exact type R is that it needs a little cleaning up.

I used to talk smack about hondas . Now i own a classic car and a civic 99 as a dd. I find enjoying the civic almost as much.

You gotta get your hands on the FK8 type r for your driving impression.

What a special car!!! Great video

Awesome job man. Nothing sounds quite like B Series on the high cam.

What a great car, and glad to see it’s actually used on the track and not a garage queen. This one was a little slower than I would have expected. My Stock 1990 Integra LS would go 1.9 60’ and a 10.2 second 1/8 mile. Might have been the launch.

The light on the rear bumper is not a brake light but in fact a Fog Light. But people think it's a brake like and wire it as such when doing the conversion when in fact it's meant to light up as a brake like constantly when you're driving in fog so people can see you. The same with European cars as there in those regions in the world there is a lot of fog.

I wish it were RHD that specific car is 99% perfect it's so clean and in great condition awesome video review 🤙🏼 I'm gonna import either a RHD integra or EK soon 🙏🏼 aloha from a new sub in Hawaii god bless

My first car is an Integra Type R, and I can't be any more happy with it. Such an amazing car.

Very informative video... I didn't know Japan made different body style 4 the USA !!!

Cool video. Nice to see it done in Fresno

Rawness all the way. I could have easily bought an Evo X for what I paid for my 2005 RS. Nothing beats a visceral experience of me. I’m old school like you. If I want refinement, I’ll buy a Lexus or some other lux sedan.

Awesome video man, keep up the good work! The Integra Type R is such a legend, I really hope one day I'll have the chance to get behind the wheel of a bone stock Type R so that I can experience how it felt to drive one back in the day lol.

Well done display of showing the hotness of the Type-R. I personally have driven the Acura 2001 Type-R myself and I can say that it's very fun to drive; it's just so addicting how fantastic it handles and how phenomenal it's power is even for a stock car. It's a true Honda enthusiast's wet dream. I sense that the suspension was somewhat worn out because the owner didn't maintain it as good as he should, but, you could feel that it responds well to road conditions rather well. I imagine that if he had maintained it or upgraded it to a sport suspension it would've performed nicely as intended. The new cars are rather hard to resist because it's really meant to comfort people. But for someone like me I prefer true road racing performance. The newer SI and Type-R is heavier as Honda tries to accommodate to the mass while the older generations were designed for the true enthusiast who fully understand the meaning behind sports performance who only live to drive it. I've driven the 92 Integra GSR, the 1995 Integra GSR, 2001 Integra Type-R, and the 2005 RSX Type-S and Honda has made big improvements throughout the years. Personally I prefer the 2001 Type R suspension as it handles way much better due to its wishbone suspension which you won't find on the newer generations. It's well balanced when compared to the others I've driven. It feels very light and responds well when you drive it fast, full throttle especially around winding roads as it pumps my adrenaline only making me want to drive it even faster. Overall, I would pick the Type R above all else. That car is meant to be driven like a race car. "The car picks and defines its driver." With that being said certain high performance cars aren't meant for certain people. Which is why we have Toyota Camrys. LOL It just pains me that Honda would try to accommodate the masses when it comes to true sports performance when designing a sports compact that's really meant to be driven without excess luggage. The 4 door style don't appeal to me at all for, again, it's really for the latter masses who want to take their friends out for a joy ride. LOL Since that's the case they should get a WRX. LOL Despite my own preference we'll wait and see if Honda is willing to produce a 2 door version Type-R which I presume they won't. I know that it'll accommodate someone who would rather experience true sports performance the way Honda truly, initially intended for it to be as oppose to the luxurious sedan with a high performance engine. LOL

great video man i love your review.. very detailed amd complex and learned alot... and i like watching you drive haha no homo

Great video!! Keep it up! Do an Evo X

I saw one of these recently and was blown away, I didn't realise this was a type r and when I saw the badges I went loco! I definitely want one of these cars now, just wondering how much would an integra type r with the jdm parts cost?

Nice content! I always like those cars. Could you do a feature on the Z32 300ZX or 7th gen Celica GT-S? Keep the videos coming!

A low mileage type r was for sale. The next day I enquired about it and it was sold within 24hours. The price was damn higher than my fd2r but people are snapping up these classics.

Sounds dope! What kind of exaust is on it?

Always have the best content bro👍🏼 by the way what was the area called where you were driving in the end?

RAWNESS BABY!

Wouldn't mind one of these, although theyre expensive. And I'd keep it stock.

woah the black version looks so cool.

Great channel!

Ain't a tight car if it ain't a type r OG 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

That Acura is so clean!!!

Love the Jdm Integra Type-R aswell as the Usdm Integra Type-R. The Usdm Integra Type-R are becoming very Rare these days. Specifically the Championship White 97 and 98 then the 00 and 01 Integra Type-R Phoenix Yellow. Rarely see these cars anymore especially in original condition.

The side skirts and the 2 back corner rear lips are optional accessories that don't come with the Type R as I remember

What cable did you use for it to work from the hood release switch for the jdm front?

If i remember correctly its torque was actually lower then the non vtec/vtec engines in the gs-r.

Make sure to match the engine revs to transmission speed when you downshift. Slowly releasing the clutch like that to bring the engine speed up is bad for the clutch.

JDM for life🚗💨🇯🇵❤️

Come on gary i seen this actual type r run a faster time then that in the 1/4 mile lol nice video like always

good lad, and awesome video! but do let me know if your in nyc so i can give you some heeltoe lessons, lol!

RAWNESS!!

I had a '98 ITR. I think I would appreciate it more now at 35 than I did when I was 22. I still have the CRX I built with the money I got from selling it though.

Gotta love that vtec crossover, favorite cars I driven with vtec are 98 prelude sh, 99 integra gsr, 02 rsx type s, and lastly 04 tsx, Would add 01 accord 4 cyl but those are economy vtec they don't crossover loudly and pull as hard.

What about the thread counts and the seat weaves?

I have a 1999 civic si with B16A1 Engine VTEC, and I capped it and now my VTEC hits hard at two thousand rpm. I take rsx at 6 gear 1/8 mile run.

This car is in amazing condition!

The NSX the ITR and the S2k were some of the best honda had to offer shame they can never recreate those types of cars due emissions and regulations:(

The VTEC kicks in violent yo

DC2 type R is a beast!

Why is it left hand drive? Did u convert the usdm R to a j front?

The more I see of this car the more I want one.

I still own my 2001 R off white with red interior. So much fun to drive!

Isn't the 'B18C' from the JDM SiR-G/GSR?

Had a 97 type r from Canada with jdm front. That car was so sweet. Got it with 17k miles on it. With 17” black/Volk racing chrome lip. Stock and little better then the one he is driving since almost new. Civic type r and itr r both nice I like technology but ctr looks complicated if I want to work on it. I think the itr is a better choice if u want to know your car.

The best car on the market Classic 👍🏻

type r vtec engaged at 6k rpm?? my gsr vtec engages at 4.5k..

What gas do you use the year my gsr weights 2,500pd.

I had a Gen1 1988 Integra RS 4-dr, and I loved that car. Steering was tight (could corner like it was on rails), the pick up from the line was good (I surprised some people with higher HP cars), and was a comfortable daily drive. When I wanted to have fun with it I could. This Type R shown here is what the 3rd Gen Integra should have been with the front-end and not the "bug eye" crap. And the new Civic is just fuggly (f'ing uggly) in my opinion. Honda needs to get back to the sleek low profile look again, that's when their cars look great.

Should do more videos like this!

Yo itsuki why was it re-upload

Let that VTEC kick in yo btw how is your 240sx

This car will fly my goodness Hondas 4 cylinders pack a major punch damn if I had to pick one it would be the old one although the new one is beautiful the old school vtec just hits and that very high red line just does it for me

Here in Asia. We have both Integra. The JDM front lights. And the circle light.

This is it it right here. The real and only type R.

1/4 mile needs to be around 13seconds high?

I thought that year type r only came in championship white and Phoenix yellow?

I’m in my early to mid 30s. This was my HS dream car... I prefer the old Type R and this one will go up in value. U don’t buy an R for refinement.

B18c is a type r or gsr. The head is how you tell the difference. Pr3 is type r. P72 is gsr :)

Absolutely I’ll do the Honda Integra type R no question

I love seeing this car next to the red gsr lol

Is the center console stock ?

Those rear side skirts and rear valences aren't type r. Those are optional lip kits that the dealership offered.

What about spoon integra type-r, the street version?

Nice video my asian brother also good info on the teggie

did that just reved to 9k?

I'll take the rawness.

why they dont do cars like this anymore?? :'(

So the type R actually came out in the US?

They did have the ITR in 1999 the U.S did not get them but Canada did get them if you count that as north America lol!

I bought an integra not knowing what it is, it has a B20 and it matches the vin # to the car chasis. The front end is an official type R front end with badging # and everything. But this car has a sun roof. Also everything in the car has Japanese letters. I looked up the vin # and it said it was imported from Japan. I need help to know what kind of integra this is

But edm type r's have the rear fog in the actual rear light housing.

Integra type r was sold in us?

1:43 it´s actually called a Fog light Not a Brake light... in Europe its mandatory for all cars

what a car👌🙏

I managed a 14.2 quarter mile on my all stock JDM Type R
