  • Thanks to Acura for sponsoring this episode!
    The Integra Type R is one of the best FWD cars to come out of the 90s. From its high-revving B18 engine to its seam-welded chassis, the Type R is one of the most beloved JDM cars of all time. But only recently has it been getting the true attention it deserves. We’ll show you why this legendary car was overlooked for nearly two decades, and why only geniuses realize the true potential of the Integra Type R!

    What does the R stand for in Type R? 🤔

    It's 1.8L 4 cylinders making 195 hp, now imagine this in the 90's lots of N/A V6 making 190-250 hp. That's how powerful the B18C was.

      As much as I am a BMW owner and enthusiast, and don't really feel anything towards Honda or Acura, that is very impressive.
      BMW needed 2.8 liters from the M52B28 to get 193hp out of it. They had a version of the E36 called the 318is, which was supposed to be a sporty 4cyl version of the E36. That had a 1.9 litre engine, and... 140hp. Not very impressive when you look at Honda at the time. Of course the E36 M3 made 286hp from the 2.8l engine, then 321 from the 3.2 after facelift, but that's a different league and was way more expensive than this Integra.

      When the Type R came out in 1997 it had 195 hp. The Mustang GT of the time had 215hp. The Type R also weighed about 700-800 pounds less. Thats why 4 cylinder Honda’s were the rage in the late 90’s early 00’s. It was the best era of cars to grow up in and thats also when I turned 16 in 2001. Always wanted an ITR will get one someday!

    Thanks for a great review. Just a couple of little points you didn't mention about this car; it has a LSD - something quite rare for that era. The windscreen was also made thinner, to reduce weight. I have the same car - white and with the full body kit, production number 0101. I bought it in 2000 and have clocked 298,000Kms. (Having a big party when I hit 300,000Kms) I have NEVER touched the motor, though I often rev it well past 9,000rpm. In those 20 years I have paid out very little, except for basic stuff such as 2 clutches and 2 distributors and a couple of minor repairs. I replaced the original disc pads after 225,000Kms, as I just use my gears. It's hard to explain, but every time I hop into the seat, I get a feeling of excitement and anticipation. Many new cars can beat my Type R in a straight line, but few can beat me when it comes to being the quickest from A to B. I've got the money saved up to buy a new hot hatch, but I can't break away from this love affair and now, at 71 years of age, it's quite possible that me and my type R will be buried together.

    My grandma had an all white integra. Seeing that interior brought me back to leaving church on the way to godfathers pizza and I couldnt wait to spend my quarters on stickers in the vending machine or steal croutons from the salad bar or go play rampage on the arcade machines in the corner of the godfathers. Ahhh good times.

    I had the pleasure of owning a 1999 ITR DC2 here in Melbourne (Australia).... in which I clocked up 165,000 kms (from new) & enjoyed 13 track days during my 5.5 years of driving nirvana. I was utterly addicted to the VTEC scream of the B18C engine, the wonderfully slick gearbox, dynamic handling & complete package of Honda engineering. Even 17 years on & after driving many higher spec cars, the memories of the DC2 remain as some of my best driving experiences ==> I would buy another one anytime, for future track fun!

    I'm from the Philippines and my dad got the Integra DC5 a few years after it was released and we even had to convert it to left hand drive which took some waiting and going to the airport back and forth and once we got it, my dad was so happy because he knew the DC5 was gonna be a killer, and boy was he right, he got bronze rims similar to the type s ones and did some interior stuff, the thing was naturally aspirated (for half of the time my dad had it) but it when we got a turbo, it was gapping civics and Lancers ane everythings everywhere, but than we got broke due to some personal family problems, and my dad had to sell the Integra to get a more reliable car, it shaped a core memory in my brain, accidentally dropping the clutch while handing it to my dad, almost scratching the door with scissors, and when we had the car, we were the top dog in our entire city, we were possibly the only ones with it in the country, but some Manila kid probably got one before us.

    I had one, original Type R sitting in my ex-shop for almost half a decade. Was stolen(by someone who didnt know) when it was recovered, my shiftknob and driver seat head rest were the only thing missing. I was lucky, ended up selling it in 06'ish because I sold the shop and changed professions(mid life crisis)
    now in 2020 i still regret it. One of the best cars ever made, quality wise although my fav part was the driving position.. the way the dash extends to you and how sharp the steering wheel is with having tiny hand ring made it feel like a ferrari when driving.

    @flames83cc 3 роки тому

    I think he is absolutely correct about it being under appreciated because it is a front wheel drive. The fact that it is a front wheel drive always comes up in a conversation with mechanics and/or gear heads. You just can not efficiently put down more then 300-350ft/lbs of torque to the ground for racing applications (I mean proper racing not straight line or turning in one direction like a confused dog). I mean racing tracks that can be very technical like Laguna Seca or Monte Carlo. There is a reason why the best of the best race cars are mid engine rear wheel drive (least driveline parasitic loss & simple efficient weight distribution in short). Hence the NSX and even the new Corvette. Also there is an exciting and very challenging reason why there is front engine rear wheel drive race cars. I love the blend of engineering and skill that it takes for these car to become legendary race cars. You know a good RWD chassis when they’re used frequently in professional drifting (ex BMW 3 series chassis, 240/Silvia, current mustang, Dodge Viper, Miata, 350/G35 etc). Some of my fav racing to watch is the Supercars Championship in Australia (Aussies know how to shred). But my fav of all time is either old school group B rally or old school touring cars.
