  • 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!

    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!

      FYI guys, your stock GS interiors have cushy passenger seats. That TypeR has what is known as a “racing seat” and “racing seats” have what can be referred to as hip and torso bolsters. In racing cars these seats help the driver stay in one spot when “strapped in” so they can effectively drive that car. These seats are built specifically for racing applications concerning driver safety (this including ability to drive the car). They are not designed to be comfortable or easy to move around on (cuz that sh**ff is not safe cornering @ over 100mph)... just For Y’all’s Info!

    @sdi1111 3 ปีที่แล้ว +34

    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.

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!

You could go for our overcomplicated new NSX that shares almost no characteristics with the original! Wait what, you want a new Integra? Why? You want us to make a new Legend?

      Acura is pleading desperately for you to just at least take a look at their TLX before you leave to BMW but you can’t take your eyes off of their receding hairline and deep down you know Acura has put their old high school letterman jacket in a shrine in his closet where he goes to look at it and remember his glory days.

Over tge years, he drove it to Alaska and the Lower 48 multiple times, then one fall, in the rain up here, he was showing off to his 10 year Old brother in the pass seat, and hit an off ramp going way to fast, and ping pong'd all 4 corners between the guard rails, totalling the body. I bought it from him for a grand, and drove it to about 180k miles, them when it finally was dead (wrecked again...), I sold the Fat 5 rims for $1500, and the rest of the car with a knocking engine for $2100. Score! And that was the only time I've ever made money on a car.

    Funny story: when I clicked on this video, an Acura Ad played right before the video started and I was like, "hmm... how convenient is that?" lmfao

    Still waiting on DDE to give away that Type R.
    Also, anyone remember the Intergra Type R from the NFS Underground intro? The one with the wide body kit and Samurai Vinyl that was Orange/red and white.

      I know. It's like he doesn't have his own voice or identity.

      I feel like the script was written for James. This guy has no passion, he's so monotone.
