      Buddy has a 06’ TL. 236,000+ miles and it’s quiet as a cadillac when its on and it pulls like a brand new car when he opens it up. And these 06’ TL’s are known to top out 150 mph.

    I had an 01 Integra GS-R for 17 years. Was hands down the most favorite car I have ever owned. I even still have dreams about driving it around. Not only was it fun to drive, it was reliable. The only thing I ever changed on it besides the typical fluids/brakes/belts/plugs, was a front wheel bearing. Literally that's the only thing that ever went wrong with the car in 17 years. Never once broke down.
    I drove her hard too, properly of course. It would scream 7k+ at least once almost every time I drove it. The Integra, I'd argue, is probably one of the best *overall* cars ever to be made and the third gen was nothing short of perfection.

      If everyone was rich most would be this clean.. If an average Joe attempted this build, you are looking at $20K easy with labor. A full Titanium twin loop exhaust with welding and fabrication would cost you $3K+ at least for a normal person paying for all the labor. A turbo kit like that with a good turbo and good piping is $8K at least if you include labor. A really good quality paint job? $1500+(can be a lot more depending).. Trans rebuild or upgrades? $1k+.. Suspension? Another $1K.. The list just goes on and on..

      Raiti's Rides I had an integra GSR for 8 years from 2001-2009 sold it and now regret selling it, I recently bought a 2000 GSR this year and love it, it’s all stock besides springs and cold air intake. These cars are something else especially when you crack that VTEC, Honda doesn’t make them like they use to anymore

    Raiti this is one of your best videos yet. Love the Integra Type R. John at LHT is the best in the industry. If he built Golf R's I would drive down from Ontario Canada to get him to work on my car. His attention to detail is second to none. Raiti keep on doing performance builds like this on your channel. CONGRATS ON 200K SUBS.

    Definitely a JDM legend that's affordable, if you can find one that is. I loved the mid 90's to early 2000's look of Japanese cars. Hondas, Acuras, Toyota's. Even the germans like VW and BMW, they all had such a timeless look and they didn't have the rev limiter and silenced exhaust they have now. Great review, Joe.

    As a tampa native I've know about LHT for a long time. They've been at the forefront of the honda scene here for a long time. This car is the epitome of JDM restomod. I got to zonk you on a couple items though Joe. You didnt call out the fact that this car has a full Jdm front end swap with the one piece headlights. You even stopped to mention the side markers on the fenders but not the fact that the USDM integra didnt have them. Only because he had the front end swap (including fenders) were they there. You briefly mentioned the 5 lugs but again didnt really talk about the fact that those were converted (probably from a type r). Love that you're doing reviews like this but you missed the coolest parts of the car.

    •  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@AdversaryNemesis1124 NP man.. These performance cars these days are already pushing the boundaries of what is safe for the streets. For a FWD car, the Type R is incredibly fast and handles incredibly well right from factory. Being that it is Turbo charged from the Factory, just some mild tuning with a more freely flowing exhaust could net you 50-60 more hp no problem with very minimal effort. These older hondas need a lot of modification and upgrading to get them power and proper modern performance. And being that you are under Factory Warranty still, I would def try to limit pushing too much power unless you have the money to fix things out of warranty.

That moment I knew I gotta have that engine or the car itself. This car is a legend in compact...there’s no conversion about the best JDMs without mentioning the Type R/GSR.
