Great article about the Integra type R and how it matches up with the new civic si.

I just read that, and it was a pretty good article.
The ITR is probably the best fwd car ever built, and will always be my generation's "hot rod".

i wish there was an article on the DC2R vs FD2R comparison in english

long live Type RWARRRRRR

great article!

It was a good read =)

There's one shitty thing about the ITR: Stupid Resale Value. It is hard to spend 15k for a 12 year old car.

How's the Prelude SH handle compared to the ITR?

For me, I've always felt the ITR felt more nimble and more visceral (you hear that word alot when asked about the ITR).

BUT, the lude is no slouch either and I am sure someone will bring up that Car and Driver article where the Lude was the best FWD handling car (I still wonder they didn't include the ITR). If you ever drive a lude though, it just feels heavier but more stable.

I feel old now. I remember in HS, when my buddy got a SH in that Silver blueish colour and another of my buddies grabbed an ITR. I was too poor and settled for a GSR

im so glad i bought one.. =')

yes, so people who owned it from new or fairly new has the good end of the stick. That goes for all cars that are "cool" and have "pedigree".:)

me too

nah the shittiest thing about an ITR is theft.

^

mines got broken into three times... =x

good read...now i wanna go for a drive in my friend's Type-R lol

Wow interesting read! :thumbsup:

u'd be sold once you get going. trust me. i'd never thought it'd be that great of a car till i test drove one.


next thing i knew, i was filling out papers and it was mine :thumbsup:

I've driven it before and I gotta say it was real good...but I couldn't really get used to the throttle for DD...too used to DBW =/

This article sums up why I buy cars based on feel and not numbers. Driving enjoyment is not a spec sheet.

I hate drive by wire throttle. Driving an older car always feels perfectly natural and afterwards I always need to readjust to the DBW cars I've owned.

DC2 R with jdm conversion = hotness

This article also makes me sad thinking about how many ITRs are raped my terrible terrible engine/body mods :(:(

But I thought DP with BM and USDM = hotness?

mine was stolen and never recovered :cry:

mine was sold...now i want it back :(

that was a good read, but ive seen some pretty bad type r dc2 around wrecked by dumb kids FML
