AutoGuide: '13 Civic Si vs '98 Integra Type-R
 

2013 Honda Civic Si vs 1998 Acura Integra Type R : Car Reviews

Si interior looks amazing
Edmunds did a similar piece on the ITR against the Si a few years back
I hope Honda will bring the new 1.6L turbocharged Civic Type R to North America with the new NSX...last I heard they want to build the fastest FWD car around the 'Ring

So what do guys think th Type R in the video is worth?

guy didn't mention milage or status...interior looked minty tho...im guessing 11-12k
according to the youtube vid comment section the Civic Si with HFP package was half a second faster than the ITR at this track (Toronto Motorsport Park)

im pretty sure a FD2 type R civic would beat a DC2 type R integ on a track...

technology came a long way.

a shame they didnt offer a CSX type R...

that's a mother fucking civic si bro...here's the type R

ITR > SI.

amazing to see the timeless beauty of that IT-R.

Still reigning as the best handling FWD platform in history.

Type R!
That engine bay was dirty! and the valve cover was flaking.

Not so, the best FWD car right now is Renault Megane RS. (@ 8:07.97 Nurburgring)

You will need Google Translate to read this article, but Honda is working on 2015 Civic Type-R to make it a fastest FWD in the world.

Unless the performance envelope is vastly lopsided (and it isn't between the FD2 Type R and DC2 Type R), you can always find a track where one car performs better than the other.

Honda's claim to fame was their cheap, reliable, and fun product offerings. The NSX is a high end performance vehicle that does not cater to the same market as the old CRX, EG/EK Civic Si, Integra, or even the RSX etc. It is disappointing to see them walk away from this market, and I don't understand why their corporate leaders chose this path. Surely they don't have to alienate their original supporters while they pursue the boring appliance crown?

Is there even a current vehicle from any manufacturer that comes close to what the ITR was?

20-30 more hp & tq, stiffer suspension, Brembo brakes to compensate for Macpherson strut and 200kg weight...I think it'll be down to the driver and track

that 8th gen civic drives like a boat compared to the DC2.

newer cars with more standard equipment is really making cars heavier by the year... with not much of an increase in performance. Ruins the overall driving experience.

I was think in the 15 to 16k range. Could not find one Type R on Ebay moters and only one for sale in Canada on trader.ca. That one was on sale for 14K and was modded. A bone stock one would be very hard to find.

i've been checking out their value every now and then
15-16k is usually the rare model year/limited ed ...like the 99/01...and that's like stock and low km's...97 are also pretty rare
98/00 avg condition is in the figure i quoted earlier
I check local classifieds....Honda-Tech don't count cause they have 20% fanboy tax
here's a very reasonable listing
1998 Acura Integra Type R

The one on sale on RS is a much better deal with all those goodies included :drool

:seriously:

That's my buddy's ride! Seems like a fair price to me as well.

that's a helluva car for the price no doubt...i'd seriously consider it if only it was in its original paint sans Mugen bumper

Been for sale for over a year...

Seriously doubt it, the stock FD2 have pace that a stock DC2 cant match.

Like someone said earlier, technology has come a long way.

The FD2 ran 2:35.20 in Suzuka, a big F1 track. Here's the times for some other JDM sports car tested by the same people.

Evo 6 2:36.50
RX-7 2:35.81

The FD2 is one of the rawest Type R ever, and Evo.co.uk called it more of a 4 door NSX-R than a Civic Type R successor in spirit.

yep. saw the same video from best motoring... FD2 laps suzuka faster than a R34 GTR...

FD2 is indeed the faster car out of the box..

2001 Limited Edition Acura Integra Type R

Is there really only 4 in BC?

there should be more than that..

i know of two 01' specs off the top of my head...

one resident RSer still has his!
another one is a JDM front end itr with a stripped interior...
