Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- Hey guys,
A close friend of mine let me borrow his 2000 Acura Integra Type R for review. It's a track car and has a bunch of "JDM" goodness done to it. In this video, I'll give you some background on the car and provide weights, 0-60mph, 1/4mile time and go an a casual cruise to provide impressions. Let me know what you think about the Acura Integra Type R in the comments section below.

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.
+Morrissey Nice! You are a smart man.
Sell me one?
I'll give you 30k for both
GT Content great video man, love the type R it's truly a classic 90's era car.. if you don't mind me asking, was this video filmed in the 559 california area? The scenery looks so familiar to me, it kind of looks like you were driving around the mountain that has avocado lake and Winton park. Belmont is name of the street if I'm not mistaken.
You live in Yorba Linda or some b I swear I seent the yellow type r
I like the us front, the bug eyes..I think the jdm front looks like mini Accord front end
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.
The B18c Type R sounds so amazing and violent👍😍
That JDM front is so nice
I would get the original Acura type R, just because It's a classic
Good luck finding one
1 YEAR LATER...
I've ran into a few ITR that were "For Sale" but they all had k20's 😔
Wow. What state?
Seeing these true type r"s come out of the wood work warms my heart.
If it ain’t a type R then it ain’t a tight car
285_ Soulja I always thought it was ,if it ain't a type R then it ain't the right car.
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.
same here, modified an 02 accord and just wow, not worth the hype of newer cars, not one bit
I had a 97 civic and currently have a 91 accord and they were both amazing
they got soul
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 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!
Sounds like a fun car you have there.
GT Content Thank you. Yes it is. Still provides plenty of smiles.
These motors are amazing I had a EK9 clone complete with the B16B swap that switchover is addicting!!
Wow that thing accelrates and shifts so wonderfully violent! As always, thanks for the upload Gary!
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.
Yep, I used to have the B18C motor in my 96 but it was not a Type R. A lot of people buy the read valve cover and claim its a type r then.
vague steering cold be age related as well. they are normally very tight.
2000 integra GSR was my first car and man I miss it
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.
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.
saame
Absolutely love the Integra Type-R. Super impressed with the video! 👍🏼
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
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'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.
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.
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.
Surface, tires, suspension, power, health of motor, driver, etc. A lot of factors play into it.
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.
My first car is an Integra Type R, and I can't be any more happy with it. Such an amazing car.
luucky
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.
Integra Type R any day of the week over the new Civic. Easy to make a light car more powerful, hard to make a powerful car lighter.
JDM for life🚗💨🇯🇵❤️
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.
This is it it right here. The real and only type R.
You gotta get your hands on the FK8 type r for your driving impression.
Wouldn't mind one of these, although theyre expensive. And I'd keep it stock.
Ain't a tight car if it ain't a type r
OG 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The more I see of this car the more I want one.
Excellent video man, keep doing these type of videos
Honda Acuras are the nices cars out there they come with racing features and luxury they last a lifetime. don't need a BMW or mercedes or some models. JDM 💛
BELIEVE IT OR NOT... the reason cars have gotten so soft and bland...less driver focused...is the introduction of the Internet and the new ability for anyone with an English accent especially to call themselves an automotive journalist. gone are the days of Tiff..jeremy etc... guys who could atleast drive a stick. Now the net is flooded with guys and girls who've never ripped a mountain pass with 3 pedals, but because of their large following and power to touch so many instantaneously, car companies listen to them and try to make cars that satisfy everyone in someway just to remain politically correct. Now cars come with "modes" ...cars nowadays are spread so thin with trying to satisfy everyone in the household. Like the stinger...a concoction of ideas but no manual option. Just too soft nowadays. THE 90's WAS THE PINNACLE. it's all downhill from here.
ingineous Add to it: Stricter safety, emissions and mpg requirements.
The benefit though, is that technology, especially with computers have also helped with structural integrity and performance.
GT Content very true. you're the last of a dying breed man... a true car guy/enthusiast/driver ...I'll listen to you over a bunch of these dudes that just won't get it.
GT Content and about the mpg....lol my old gc8 or ek civic were better gas sippers. the safety...I give you that, the emissions too, but what's your take on cars keeping the new tech but going back to old dimensions. example, a GC8 vs the brand new impreza or wrx...size difference is amazing.
Yeap! I feel like I'm in a monster truck (370z) when I pull up next to any 90's 2 door coupes!! The younger generation just is not into real/actual driving. They like the "all show/no go" checklist "styling" and would rather have additional distractions within the vehicle to just 'get through' the drive. Also, fatherless households more kids are growing up in = less mechanical knowledge or enthusiasm (I do find it funny how they all wear beards but cannot change a tire/oil, and I'm convinced they WOULD have money for a car payment but instead choose $5.50 beers, stupid "me TOOOOOO" tattoos, high maint pets, and facial piercings and extravagant hair styling lol; just read Carollas book: "In 50 Years We'll All be Chicks" Brilliant!). It's fully a generation that sold themselves on anything that's "mechanical" is below them and white collar/college education was "better" so they've gravitated towards technology but now most have worthless degrees debt and "gig" jobs that are complete scams but if you tell them that, or anything they may disagree with, you're "racist."
Every once in a blue moon you'll run into someone below the age of 30 that's into cars that actually knows what they're doing, otherwise there's a lot of pretenders that will talk your ear off for hours about stuff they've read/seen, but never EXPERIENCED. No wonder most of 'em are excited over the idea of autonomous vehicles carting them around to their next starbucks drink or overpriced beer and mentally being checked out, and to be fair, some are rightfully so because having 'graduated' with zero skills, dead end part time work, and having been trained to chase the dopamine rush of "likes" instead of LIFE.
07wrxtr1 couldn't have put it better myself. I'm 26 in England and you've summed up most people. It's a dire state. Got two honda crx's myself. No time for modern cars or worthless trends.
You're making really great and informative videos. Thanks for these.
You're welcome.
B18c is a type r or gsr. The head is how you tell the difference. Pr3 is type r. P72 is gsr :)
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.
Here in Asia. We have both Integra. The JDM front lights. And the circle light.
Very informative video...
I didn't know Japan made different body style 4 the USA !!!
I managed a 14.2 quarter mile on my all stock JDM Type R
I'll take the 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.
I've driven two , I wasn't overly impressed , IMO the Prelude should have been the one they focused on .. 240hp and a higher spring rates would have made the Lude a the better choice.
woah the black version looks so cool.
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
eddie perez I'll keep it mind.
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
I would take the integra ,over that new civic type R, the integra just looks and sounds better, and they are almost bullet proof, I've heard the civic Type R has transmission issues.
I still own my 2001 R off white with red interior. So much fun to drive!
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
DC2 type R is a beast!
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:(
good lad, and awesome video! but do let me know if your in nyc so i can give you some heeltoe lessons, lol!
A rare type R and he puts ebay headers on it :(
same thing I said
Yeaaa... that's pretty fucking stupid. No wonder no one respects tuners
DC headers were the best..
When I was young and dumb, I didn't know eBay parts were cheap and ineffective. I had an third generation Prelude si and my dumbass bought a "cold air intake" and "coilovers" and I was repulsed by how low quality they were. There was no way they were going to work, and the coilovers pretty much just felt like cheap plastic. There was no way they were going to actually work. I tried to install the intake anyway just to see what would happen. Even though it was supposed to be specifically for a third gen Prelude, it didn't fit. Not even close. It most likely would've have robbed me of precious hp. I immediately ordered an injen intake.
@@ConsciousRobot well clearly you haven't figured everything out if you think a cold air intake gains hp
The last time cars looked good.. nice simple and sporty
ebay headers, facepalm
Didn't know eBay made car parts or the fact that the integra had more than 1 header
@@itsjussjerry are you even into cars, or honda ?
@@mekkiz_ are you? If you were, you would understand my comment. The integra has ONE HEADER, not headers. EBay is a place to sell parts, it does not manufacture parts. So yeah, what are eBay headers? Facepalm.
itsjussjerry obviously 1 header.. most eBay parts are straight trash unless it’s authentic parts not produced to sell on sites like eBay
@@itsjussjerry header, headers, who cares, we all still understood what the guy is saying smh
Never have liked the JDM front end conversion... looks too much like an accord and older prelude. The American type R front end was exclusive to US, aggressive, and IMO looks better.
Overall Nice review, thanks for sharing!
Dude you ROCK!
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.
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?
RAWNESS BABY!
Was at SEMA last year, almost bought a DC2 from LA, I was at the point where I was totally irrational and had already emptied my bank account, had cashier's check in hand, until friends who were rational refused to give me the ride.
I'd wait until 2035, probably with a bigger wallet, be irrational again and buy an FD2.
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.
Nice ride but if you’re are looking to add some value to the car I would refresh the paint and any aftermarket Parts I would do some mugen parts.. no cheap eBay stuff..😁
The side skirts and the 2 back corner rear lips are optional accessories that don't come with the Type R as I remember
cool vid. I remember all the street racing in Philly with Type Rs. Some had japanese parts, most didn't. They were thrilling to drive, watch race, etc.
-New vs. old: I'm not really sure which one I would pick. I don't like the feel of the shifter + gearing of the trans in the new one. The gearing is weird. Not very intuitive
This car is in amazing condition!
Those rear side skirts and rear valences aren't type r.
Those are optional lip kits that the dealership offered.
BBoyDrkNova which are still Exclusive to the Type R....
Coda5610 the GS models were offered them as well.
BBoyDrkNova you're right. The optional side skirts and rear valence were for any 98-01 2 door Integra. They were a factory option just like the 98-01 foglights.
lol i guessed 2580 , ditch the spare and jack and it might be close to that number
I love your channel man ! Your one of the very best car reviewers I know! Keep up the awesome content :) .
Original, the new type R is like 60k WAY to much for a Honda.... but if the type R was AWD and not wrong wheel drive then that’s a bit more understandable.
1:43 it´s actually called a Fog light Not a Brake light... in Europe its mandatory for all cars
Looks like you driving Fresno back roads
type r vtec engaged at 6k rpm?? my gsr vtec engages at 4.5k..
Absolutely I’ll do the Honda Integra type R no question
That Acura is so clean!!!
id get the OG ITR. only thing stopping me is that it would get stolen faster than the CTR
Awesome job man. Nothing sounds quite like B Series on the high cam.
My eg hatch weigh 2,060lbs with a full tank
Vtec literally clunks in. My 2007 TSX vtec activates very smooth.
I just wish ,I could find a way to change vtec. On at 5,000 instead of 6,000 and not shift at 7,000.
I can just tell and feel the k24 has more rpm in her.
I purchased it for reliability, but just noticed it definitely has more in her. Honda definitely de-tuned it for economy and reliability. I know it definitely has some extra hp in her.
Mike Brailsford You can purchase Hondata to change the VTEC engagement point and increase the rev limit.
GT Content it's an automatic transmission. Even just vtec from 5,500 rpm to 7,500 would make big power gains . Now it's only from 6,000 to 7,000. I'm sure an additional 500 750rpm wouldn't hurt the engine. But could net more power
If you are planning on keeping the car for awhile and planning on doing more extensive bolt-ons, get FlashPro.
If you plan on basic I/H/E bolt-ons and keep it like that, get the reflash. Night and day difference. You can rev the car out past redline to 7600 RPM (just don't do it all the time lol)
The VTEC kicks in violent yo
I use to beat every type r I raced with my 94 gsr. Basic bolt ons
I would have kept the Acura front end. Not that the Honda front end isn’t nice, it’s just the Acura one is unique to the us
I was so mad when he said ebay headers like no not on a type r
Same here
Sounds dope! What kind of exaust is on it?
I found an Integra Type R for $19,000 on Craigslist. But I'm only 16.
ilovemanunited buy a dsm
Yao Kouei Saetern well I don't have a job yet. Still looking around.
ilovemanunited
Buy a bmx bike kid
Type R is more than just an engine and suspension set up....didnt show the seams were weld around the body
Always have the best content bro👍🏼 by the way what was the area called where you were driving in the end?
Also what was the name of the song in the end too
Belmont road towards Auberry.

The best car on the market Classic 👍🏻
“I remember when the integra Type R came out it was every jdm fan boys wet dream” 😂🤣🤣
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!
Good to know. Iol
great video man i love your review.. very detailed amd complex and learned alot... and i like watching you drive haha no homo
BRANDON J. PELZ 😂
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
Not me driving. lol
I let the owners do the driving or whomever they prefer as I don't want to be responsible for breaking anything because drag racing can be abusive on the powertrain.
RAWNESS!!
Yo itsuki why was it re-upload
Lmao itsuki from initial D, is his name really itsuki?
If i remember correctly its torque was actually lower then the non vtec/vtec engines in the gs-r.
I wonder why the USDM cars got the buyeyes while the JDM cars received that sharp front end
Crash/safety standards
Ah that makes sense. Safety standards always ruin all the fun.
