The secondary latch it because the stock cable is very easy to pull through the fender well on the DC2. This allows access to the engine bay and battery as you mentioned. It was the most common attack method when these were being stolen left and right back in the day. That is how they got my dads.
The type R is a car engineered far far beyond its time. Such level of accuracy is only possible when engineers run the company and not the accountants.
I think the new Civic Type R, the FL5, is still designed by engineers. They managed to wrangle fat 265mm tyres, standard-fit forged BBS wheels, manual-only and bespoke body panels past the accountants for example.🙂 The CR-V and HR-V... Not so much, lol. Quite an accountant influence on the new Integra with the CVT too for that matter, unfortunately.
The Integra Type R is a piece of art - well before its time. I'm proud to say I have the exact same car, including the full body kit - 315,000Kms and still going strong - changed original disc pads at 225,000Kms, because I never use the brakes when I'm driving. Stitched door cloth was cut too short, but it's easy to just tuck it back and glue with clear glue. I've had 22 years of utter thrills and enjoyment driving this car. Bequeathing it to my son - it will progress to being a very sought after item in years to come.
This car gets my ❤. It’s just pure joy to make a VTEC Honda sing. This car was the first factory N.A. car to make 100hp/liter. Specific HP. The number of benchmarks Honda puts down is just ridiculous.
Disconnect the outer tie rods from the knuckle and check back and forth movement, good way to check smoothness of the ball joints. I have had that happen on a customer car, where a ball joint was super tight and binding which gave the vehicle terrible memory steer.
Good to change that coil and igniter in the distributor too. It left me stranded in the ‘90s once… and is a common prob for others too. U prolly know dat already tho… since you’re a old Honda head. 😉
Definitely sounds like a bent rack. You can try and adjust the preload by loosening the large lock nut and then adjusting the 14mm head (rack guide) on the back of the pinion housing. Most of the OEM seals are still available to rebuild it. Be sure to drill out the stake before removing the threaded cap on the passenger side if you try to rebuild.
The simplicity of cars in the 90s was just so awesome. I love those white rims. Simple interior... No one was talking about oh the dash is not soft touch, and there isn't any room for my head. It was a car, with a motor, pedals, gear you get in, hit a cassette and drive. No Nancy bs
The dash is soft-touch though (i.e., padded with foam backing) same as an EG or EK. 🙂 It's the DC5 & EP3 that went to a hard plastic dash (complete with the myriad other cost-cutting like deleting the double-wishbone). I think it's that 7th-gen that is really the low point of Honda cost-cutting (perhaps the first year of the 2012 9th-gen sedan & coupe too, though the European 9th-gen hatchback that formed the basis of the FK2 Type R always had nicer trim than the sedan).
The bonnet/hood lock was a great idea and defo saved cars from scumbags. Most them also had the option to kill a circuit in the engine bay as well, so even if the scumbags bypassed the cuts in the cabin they were still screwed. My dad bought one when I was a kid we were on holidays in the US in the 80's and moved it into every car he had after and I have the same one in my DC2 today. 😀 One thing I've seen a lot of people say is that these cars are harder to heel and toe. I find them perfect for it, but I think it's down to technique. Some guys heel and toe with the ball of their foot resting on the edge of the brake pedal and the rest of the ball of their foot blips the throttle. If you look at old style heel and toe or the Japanese guys in Best Motoring vids out there they literally heel and toe. Their "toe" is on the brake and they rotate their foot anticlockwise and put their heel on the throttle.
These darn kids will never know what we had to go through as Honda owners!! We went to sleep every night with our key fobs under our pillow, half expecting our cars to be at a chop shop by the time we woke up! 😂😂
my brother's friend had a black EM1, drove it for a while and then noticed some guys started following him, that made him buy a gun for protection, after a few weeks later his friend goes to a friends house and sleeps over, the next morning he wakes up and goes to his car, its gone, and never saw it again, back in the day was crazy times for Hondas!!!!
On my 6 year mustang resto, i have 2 alarm horns on it that requires removal of both fenders! Both horns have standalone internal batteries, so the second the main battery power is cut, they turn on... And pray for your ears!
I love this channel, I just like how informative and in depth your videos are. I get outta work n watch ur videos from start to finish and alway like before I watch. Keep up all your great work guys!
I used to remove the ecu and sleep with it. Had an alarm and a steering wheel and pedal club lock. Save my car from being stolen twice but still got vandalized.
check the steering lash adjustment on the rack, there should be a bolt that has a locking nut around it where the steering column meets the rack. you could readjust it and it could be enough, but it is possible the teeth on the pinion are a little worn when on-center.
I live here in florida im 42 I can still remember the days these ( gsr here in usa) were considered quick. They would run with 5.0 Mustangs of their time. I can still remember riding in one with my stop watch and Watching it repeatedly break into high 6s to go with a topspeed of 130mph. Still crazy running on interstate at 75 mph at 4000rpm. Still a sick Car. Great video
@@bgee461 it's probably just the way he worded it. I'm pretty sure he knows the GSR is not a type r. He probably meant that only the GSR was available in the US. The type R didn't come to the use until early 2000s. I'm also pretty sure he knows the GSR didn't have LSD or b18c5 since he didn't say that. You put those words in his mouth.
"You take the Honda reliability for granted!" *Me as I bang off the rev limiter of the 215k miles, 15k miles overdue for timing belt/water pump, 2k miles past due on oil/filter change 05 TL Sport*
Love these Honda builds, as well as Adam LZs CRX. I've been enjoying the JDM legends series but the cheaper more obtainable builds are always great to watch!
Awesome episode. Hearing you guys rip through those gears made me miss my Honda Prelude. That era of Hondas were so much fun despite the lack of power. I have a 370z now and hitting the top of third puts me close to 100mph so I have to worry about cops and speed cameras!
For those of us that grew up in the era of the legendary Type R it will always be a dream car. It is so sad that the US never got the CTR. Now I guess the wait is on for a H22 CRX build to happen on this channel just to bring the nostalgia full circle. Or even just a period correct B swap CRX momentum car build. The Honda's of the era were never stupid fast but they were fun as hell. And getting a FWD car set up to rotate can be rewarding and it forces you to learn different aspects of car control rather than just the smokey drift stuff. Shit the silly Falken Civic HF drift hatch was crazy to see getting even more sideways than the S chassis cars at the first FD events in the states.
Enjoying the vids Boyz! I have a 99 GSR Type R clone, fully tuned HONDADATA ECU, coilback conversion, AEM Dual Camber Cold Air Intake, 4-1 Header, full 2.75 exhaust, Teins Street Basic adjustable coilovers, Einkei PF01s on Bridgestone Pontenzas, skunk2 goodies, extras on top of extras, and I LOVE BEATING that Teg!!!! I'm enjoying watching your builds! Takes me back to 3 years ago when I started mine.
the hood lock is called a chapman lock, I had one in the 80s/90s which was also wired into the aftermarket alarm. Car theft was a huge problem in the 80s / 90's before automakers started installing anti theft measures as standard equipment
i had a very similar issue in the steering that turned out to be a partially seized joint between the rack and the steering column. Those u-joints don't move uniformly through their rotation so it was really just one spot on it that was sticky. the rest felt okay. Especially if someone tried to clean it with some brake clean on purpose or accidently, the minimal grease in there is easily wrecked after 20+ years. Like you guys said though, crash damage is a thing but the steering joint is easy to check when pulling the rack out so you can at least see if all the u-joints move freely.
Every time I'm rppin it in my 8th gen Si I feel like I'm in an 80's group A rally car, close gears, great clutch, high revs, singing engine, and infallable steering and grip. If you've never taken this drug, than you dont know the feeling of K20 V-TECstasty, paired with Hondas superb chassis tuning in these golden era cars. It's the type of joy you thought Ferrari could only deliver if you were born in the 80's. These cars will be sought after like MG's or Lotus joy machines of our fathers and grandfathers.
What an amazing machine, i had a 1999 GS-R and an 2001 prélude, H22 motor was Nice but the B18c whit the 10 000 rpm redline are à blast to ride plus the integra was lighter and had better handling,Best car i've hown. Good lock With the répare. 🇨🇦
Anyone else notice the blue Del Sol on the interstate in the background on the last rip?! Def the type R all day just noticed it and well don't see those everywhere anymore either
Don't listen to the oil filters haters! I can't think of a single instance with anyone I know where they blew or hurt a motor because of an oil filter.
I don't think anyone is being serious, K&N oil filters are top shelf, you see them used on many racing engines, be they Chevy small blocks or Honda B or K series. 🙂
my brother has one of those hood locks on his civic back in 1998, his had a built in immobilizer that turned on when the lock was on. you also needed a special key to lock it on and off.
I tell all my friends that the DC2 Integra Type R may not be fast, but it is the by far the best driving FWD car I’ve ever had the opportunity to drive. I have a list of ultimate sports cars to drive before you die. DC2 ITR is on it.
I had a hood lock on my DA and the funny part about it is it snapped one day . I had to discover how to defeat it to get the hood to open again. Lets just say, it only slows you down ;)
you should take the filter off while the plug is out. more oil will come out. also overfilled unless you hadnt started it yet. Torque drain plug to 33ft lbs
Not sure if it was intentional but that song playing in the background while doing the oil change had some huge Gran Turismo 4 vibes to it. Memories of a well-wasted youth.
I can't find the source, but I remember reading how this acura was the most commonly stolen car in Ontario. And second place went to the same car, just the prior model year lol
Since it was hit on the left more than likely the left side of the rack is bent. Type R rack isn't unique, just get a similar year rack from any model Integra 94-97 or 98-01. Or do an EG manual rack swap, and if you want it to bolt in like OE grab the subframe.
Back when I was a police rotation tow truck driver, I recovered so many stolen Integras and Civics, it became a running joke that we liked to play with the police dispatchers when they called. The theives didn't bother with any of the things mentioned in the video or the comments. They would simply take a hammer to the steering column and pull out the ignition donut. The cops would get an extra chuckle when the stolen vehicle would have The Club still installed.
Once you get that rack sorted, it looks like you won't have much left to do, mechanically. Canadian translation: strap on your tuques, grab some twofers, timbits and double doubles and just give’r until she starts rippin’ again.
Great vid and you made me laugh big time when you spoke about the oil filter. Everyone was thinking it including me... and then you brought it up right at the end haha! Also, the oil weight for this motor should be 5w-40.
@@michaelnyj Nope, we are not sponsored by K&N and are not getting paid by them. I honestly would have used the Honda filter if I found it before we did the oil change, but I have problem using the K&N filter since we've used them for years with no issues.
factory specified oil for the B18C5 is 5w30, but I have run 5w40 in B and K series Honda engines for many years of racing with good results, so either works just fine in these engines in my experience.
As others have mentioned, that engine had quite a knock on dry startup. It may hold out just fine for normal use but who knows. With the value of these engines it's highly recommend to properly correct this issue before it becomes another Junk B. Not worth blowing it up due to a limited budget.
Nice job torquing the spark plugs, love seeing people do this. Now please use it on the oil drain plug too! 😂. Filter…. If it does the job who cares if it’s blue! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Straight from Honda-tech: "part # 53601-ST7-A63 SAME FOR ALL 00 & 01 INTEGRAS'". So a used or remanufactured rack out of a 00-01 Integra would work. A quality rebuilt rack is about $300-$500 USD.
Valvo-sludge! Better than a bucket-o-lard. Anyone who complains about not using a Honda filter can shut up if they don’t know what a HAMP filter with a band clamp strapped to it is 😂
"I'm never parking this car, where someone will steal it"..... Boyyyy ISSA TYPE R... You can get jacked driving it to the grocery store, while your in the grocery store, or while you're walking your groceries in the house. ISSA TYPE R
JDI push button start, Main relay w/kill switch, and remote fuel pump kit. That’s how you should protect your Integra. Old school alarms are a PITA
Viper alarm with active GPS.
Good insurance?
I have the JDI push start. It's great. No one can even push start or steal the car unless the know where my fob is and where to scan it in my car.
@@grant6985 or if they know how to bypass it? These cars are far from complicated.
My em1 had a hidden clutch kill and a hidden fuel kill plus a hold button for ignition to work. Saved her twice.
The fender horn is meant to blast the guys ears to the point of pain while trying to yank the hood cable from the fender well. It's a brilliant move.
lmao that is heinous. i love it
The secondary latch it because the stock cable is very easy to pull through the fender well on the DC2. This allows access to the engine bay and battery as you mentioned. It was the most common attack method when these were being stolen left and right back in the day. That is how they got my dads.
Yup, relocating that cable back into the engine bay one important part of keeping your integra YOUR integra

Getting a R is special enough, but buying it from a friend would make it priceless and have so much meaning to it. ❤️
Another good test is to loosen the rack mount bolts. Make sure the subframe or a bent bolt isn't binding the rack.
Dave, if you go over budget and take an L, at the end of the day you still have an ITR so you've already won!

That hood lock reminds me of a Chapman lock my parents had on their then new 1985 Camaro IROC-Z when we lived in the Miami-Dade area.

Since it was hit on the left more than likely the left side of the rack is bent. Type R rack isn't unique, just get a similar year rack from any model Integra 94-97 or 98-01. Or do an EG manual rack swap, and if you want it to bolt in like OE grab the subframe.

Thank you guys, now I want a get a new project car
I would start with checking for a bent tie rod before jumping into the rack itself being bad
Back when I was a police rotation tow truck driver, I recovered so many stolen Integras and Civics, it became a running joke that we liked to play with the police dispatchers when they called. The theives didn't bother with any of the things mentioned in the video or the comments. They would simply take a hammer to the steering column and pull out the ignition donut. The cops would get an extra chuckle when the stolen vehicle would have The Club still installed.
Can't wait to see how you change the steering rack I need to do mine.
Watching this makes me miss my mk4 prelude so much
Once you get that rack sorted, it looks like you won't have much left to do, mechanically. Canadian translation: strap on your tuques, grab some twofers, timbits and double doubles and just give’r until she starts rippin’ again.
Great vid and you made me laugh big time when you spoke about the oil filter. Everyone was thinking it including me... and then you brought it up right at the end haha! Also, the oil weight for this motor should be 5w-40.
@@michaelnyj Nope, we are not sponsored by K&N and are not getting paid by them. I honestly would have used the Honda filter if I found it before we did the oil change, but I have problem using the K&N filter since we've used them for years with no issues.
factory specified oil for the B18C5 is 5w30, but I have run 5w40 in B and K series Honda engines for many years of racing with good results, so either works just fine in these engines in my experience.
16:05 you can see there is a Honda Civic del Sol to his left on the road 😆
I love the sound of a b18c5
As others have mentioned, that engine had quite a knock on dry startup. It may hold out just fine for normal use but who knows. With the value of these engines it's highly recommend to properly correct this issue before it becomes another Junk B. Not worth blowing it up due to a limited budget.
Nice job torquing the spark plugs, love seeing people do this. Now please use it on the oil drain plug too! 😂. Filter…. If it does the job who cares if it’s blue! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Straight from Honda-tech: "part # 53601-ST7-A63 SAME FOR ALL 00 & 01 INTEGRAS'". So a used or remanufactured rack out of a 00-01 Integra would work. A quality rebuilt rack is about $300-$500 USD.
You guys are making me want an integra now!
Valvo-sludge! Better than a bucket-o-lard.
Anyone who complains about not using a Honda filter can shut up if they don’t know what a HAMP filter with a band clamp strapped to it is 😂
Using a torque wrench on spark plugs makes me feel funny.
🤣I didn’t have that
I had an 01' GSR, bone stock (intake, stage 2 clutch) and I could chirp into 3rd. Loved that car.
Numbers don’t matter that car is just perfect
I feel like the wheels need a fresh coat of Championship White and ceramic coating to keep them fresh looking.
What cameras do you use and what audio equipment? Thanks for the content!
I know the grease drys out on Honda racks to. Take it off and carry out a inspection.........then order a new rack 😆
K&N sells the best oil filter according to tests performed by Engine Masters.
"I'm never parking this car, where someone will steal it"..... Boyyyy ISSA TYPE R... You can get jacked driving it to the grocery store, while your in the grocery store, or while you're walking your groceries in the house. ISSA TYPE R
Whoa, in Ontario?! I NEED to take a ride in this! I’ll bring along my FK8! 😮
Those integras were stolen so often, im not surprised it had some crazy alarm system
