This episode hits home cause my buddy had a buddy who died recently that LOVED and LIVED Type-R and had a right hand drive Type-R and worked at a Honda mechanic shop. RIP Type-R Chris.
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!
i'm 6'3 and i've been delivering pizzas in my integras for years so i find it hilarious how he struggles to get in the driver seat when i literally hop in and am ready to go within 2 seconds LOL
Same bro. Im 6’4 and had nothing but civics and rsxs for 15 yrs. Now I have a ctsV and a civic that’s stock and ran into the dirt... still drive the civic more
Spent a year delivering pizza in my JDM spec Type R, with the Japan spec SR3 recaros (a lot smaller and tighter fitting than those USDM seats) im 6'1 and have no issues jumping in and out either.
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!
i moved a while ago and around the block someone has a clean stock integra with new tires and wheels. i've been wanting to ask how much they would like for it but, i don't know who really owns it since i never see the owner
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.
After seeing a duo of buzzing RealTime Type R's open a can of whoop ass on a roster of Viper's and 911's etc on a rainy Vancouver street course in the late 90's I vowed right then and there to get one for myself. Finally in 2007 I purchased one and I am NEVER selling it.
I had the pleasure of owning a 1999 ITR DC2 here in Melbourne (Australia).... in which I clocked up 165,000 kms (from new) & enjoyed 13 track days during my 5.5 years of driving nirvana. 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!
Nah. Probe GT ZE swapped. Less than $2k and you probably won't hear the other guys $80k vtec yo. 200/170 NA, 7500 rpm lightweight Mazda v6, axle bolts to the engine block to reduce tq steer. Has no trouble getting into 3rd. Extra 10-15hp/tq picking the right ecu. Sounds better than a Honda too.
yeah, i remember they talk about they put a lot of time with the s2k but put more times on the teggy type r. type r said to have manifold and the head port and polished by hand. the window is a little thinner to save on weight. there's no a/c but a/c is optional to save more weight. the transmission i felt like its smoother than the s2000 even though people praised how good the s2000 felt.
Not sure why people keep saying it is the best FWD car. It was at the time. It's a great car. One I hope to own some day but it's not the best. The 8th Gen Civic is a better handling car.
He didnt mention was the front wind screen or window is lighter than any other integra too! I dont know if all windows were lighter but i know the front window was different for the Type R Dc2 !! It was ahead of its time and destroyed silvia's on the track !
I literally got an Acura ad before this video. It’s funny to me that the ad kept boasting about Acura performance but the only fun Acura car now is over $150k. I’m hoping they bring out a Type-S line again.
Kevin Norris I hope they do too, I saw the blue Type S sedan concept at the Quail in Carmel CA and it’s SO SEXY GORGEOUS it’s a good direction for Acura to pursue I hope
They might as well just say: Guys remember the first-gen NSX we first started making about 20 years ago? Please remember that when you buy our shitty bloated SUVs and our average sedans. 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? But why would you want something good like that silly?
@Frank White 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.
Every car channel has been running out of valuable original content. Theyre all the same crap. From Zosh to Fitment Industries.

No real analytical or technical knowledge to be found, only focusing on the most mundane features on the cars to give the impression that they have texhnical knowkedge.
Do you really see people hyping up this car up tho? Compared to the Nsx, Supra, and Skyline which are popular with non-car people you don't see people raving about the Integra. Not to mention it was in the movie for what a total of 40 seconds?
@@gt131970 For the crowd that actually knows cars and doesn't rate them by how long they are featured in movies, yes, I see them hyped up all the time.
@slam slam If a chef serves Kraft Macaroni and cheese I don't have to know how to boil a pot of water to say that is shit. If a youtube channel makes meh videos I don't have to make videos to point that out.
My all time favorite! Simple, but mind blowing technology. Light weight, but just the right creature comforts. Modular as heck, but you could run all Honda components and have an awesome car.
I know! I couldn't finish NFS Underground with the R34 and changed to the ITR (but not the samurai one) which was programmed to be slower but much nimbler. It cought my attention and led to a real championship white one being bought two years after.
save a dying culture and rebuild the NFSU Integra! If thats too much to handle just get a stock one as summer daily. Its not more expensive compared to a regular car
As a 90's kid I am in love with Hondas and think that they were the most beautiful cars until mid 00's. You tell me why.. I finally made it and bought an HR-V GH2 1.6 model and I feel superb!
The Integra Type R is insanely amazing. I fell in love with them when Peter Cunningham raced them with the RealTime team. I will own one at some point.
Been a mechanic now for 5 years and growing up loving cars by playing need for speed I have driven fixed all cars except hypercars but I was more happy to service integra and test drive it than any other car on the planet its gem
Love this car, along with the 99-00 civic si. This was such a great era for Japanese cars. They were simple and effective, even though the new type r civic is cool it’s just got way to much going on. Honda really nailed it with these cars.
The '99 Si is just sick. I bought a Eclipse GSX instead due to F&F but regret it still to this day. Was a hardcore Mitsubishi fan back then. What happened to that company? Honda also had the see till sexy AF Prelude as well.
You can tell the real passion of a true gear head when he talks about this car, love the content, love the car and this is one of my favorite episodes guys!
@@befer I fell sad for those who aren't capable of differentiating Top Gear from The Grand Tour, and assume that shows like these are supposed to be improvised. Utter fools...
@@gtgokujr idk, man, I can't really enjoy a show when I know that everything is an act. A very bad take on it aswell.. Like when they made Alabama look bad while I'm reality noone even went after them. Or when they faked Tesla breaking down while in reality nothing was wrong with it... It's a very shitty show and run by low lives without respect. Just ONE thing they done that should be enough to show you how worthless these people are is the Tesla situation. They made Tesla look bad while in reality it's a great performing car. They made Tesla look bad and so far everyone I know thought that top Gear is not fake... that's just wrong.
Just bought my son's 2000 Type R. Honestly kind of excited. It's mostly stock; I think only the air intake and and the intake manifold have been changed. It's a bit rough but I think I can baby it back.
My grandma had an all white integra. Seeing that interior brought me back to leaving church on the way to godfathers pizza and I couldnt wait to spend my quarters on stickers in the vending machine or steal croutons from the salad bar or go play rampage on the arcade machines in the corner of the godfathers. Ahhh good times.
Living in a shithole might actually be better, since dudes just wanna smash a window and steal your radio or something. If you are in a high class neighborhood, it's the perfect spot to look for expensive cars and steal em. I live in a neighborhood full of old people and I plan on getting a cheap Integra or Civic, and even then I'm gonna install a fuel switch.
I had a '99 UK spec Honda Integra Type R... It's probably the best car I've ever owned. The engine and gearbox are absolutely phenomenal and it handles like it's on rails.
Give him some time. Anytime anyone tries something new it takes them a while to develop the style and skills needed to do it. Pumphrey used to be a bit bland too to be honest. If you watch an episode of Up to Speed from a couple years ago, you'll see how far he's come. In even a few months I bet we'll be loving B2B just as much as we want to.
BrawlFreak786 trust me... there’s absolutely nothing sleeper about a gsr. It was the number one stolen car on the planet. Also no such thing as a low mile gsr either.
My GSR was soooo sick, my buddy bought it in 2008, with 40k mikes on it. Flawless car in and out, For something like $10,000. 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.

@5:15 VIN number on valve cover??? There are some differences over the b series valve covers for the different engines, usdm and jdm. But VIN tagged was never a thing.
No, people did not know how good it was in the 90s, when it came out. They realized how good it was early 2000s when it was no longer in production. That's why these cars are known for the used and aftermarket market
@@joosunkmybattleship In the US maybe, everywhere else the car was a legend the second it rolled off the factory floor :) They were notorious, for various reasons, back in their day. Firstly, because other "fast car" owners used them for gatekeeping in the street-racing scene. "Can it beat a Type-R" was a question often asked. There was, however, a bad side to all of it.... due to the weight-cutting (which my main man in the videos doesn't even mention, my DC2 was 1010 kilos without the spare in the back, which is insane) if you crashed this beauty at any nasty speed, yikes.....
@@MrEquinoxParadox dang I did not know that these cars were respected since day one outside of the US. I wished the US did so the market would still be here. But yeh we know these cars as mini coffins in a car crash as well hahaha
I was working at grocery store when I was young & my friend walked in and showed me his white 2000 Integra outside , then next week it got stolen ! He had everything in that integra , purple HID lights, waxed the car , cool rims.
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 am the former owner and have known Dave for years. They said it is too complicated to do a giveaways since it is a still registered as a Canadian car. They may consign it at August Motorcars.
I appreciate the Integra, always have since I got into Japanese Tuners. Sadly I doubt Honda would revive this car as the Accord coupe was discontinued and I rarely see new Civic coupes, more hatchbacks and sedans. This just adds to the car's value as it's turning into a future classic
Hard to believe some of these cars could have been had so cheap compared to their prices now. I knew a guy with one almost identical to the car in the video, that was over 10yrs ago!
I'm from the Philippines and my dad got the Integra DC5 a few years after it was released and we even had to convert it to left hand drive which took some waiting and going to the airport back and forth and once we got it, my dad was so happy because he knew the DC5 was gonna be a killer, and boy was he right, he got bronze rims similar to the type s ones and did some interior stuff, the thing was naturally aspirated (for half of the time my dad had it) but it when we got a turbo, it was gapping civics and Lancers ane everythings everywhere, but than we got broke due to some personal family problems, and my dad had to sell the Integra to get a more reliable car, it shaped a core memory in my brain, accidentally dropping the clutch while handing it to my dad, almost scratching the door with scissors, and when we had the car, we were the top dog in our entire city, we were possibly the only ones with it in the country, but some Manila kid probably got one before us.
I had a DA9 Integra which had serious chassis damage from a previous owner sliding it into a curb and it is still the best handing fwd car I've driven!
I definitely prefer James. This gentleman here I feel tries to emulate some of Jame's humor, and even his mannerisms and gestures. No need for that. Be yourself, be unique and bring a different tone to your episodes. That's my 2cents.

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.
And Lightweighted too

The DC2 will always end up as the best fwd car, as well as one of the most underrated jdm cars.

Do you really see people hyping up this car up tho? Compared to the Nsx, Supra, and Skyline which are popular with non-car people you don't see people raving about the Integra. Not to mention it was in the movie for what a total of 40 seconds?
@@gt131970 For the crowd that actually knows cars and doesn't rate them by how long they are featured in movies, yes, I see them hyped up all the time.
@slam slam If a chef serves Kraft Macaroni and cheese I don't have to know how to boil a pot of water to say that is shit. If a youtube channel makes meh videos I don't have to make videos to point that out.

Can't forget the Dabbing Samurai Integra from NFS Underground. Legendary. Made me appreciate this car so much. Boy, I'd love to own one some day.
Cant forget that the Integra competes neck to neck with the RX-7,if both driven well
I know! I couldn't finish NFS Underground with the R34 and changed to the ITR (but not the samurai one) which was programmed to be slower but much nimbler. It cought my attention and led to a real championship white one being bought two years after.
It was my fave car in that game as well, for endgame I'd go for a miata tho.
save a dying culture and rebuild the NFSU Integra! If thats too much to handle just get a stock one as summer daily. Its not more expensive compared to a regular car
As a 90's kid I am in love with Hondas and think that they were the most beautiful cars until mid 00's. You tell me why..
I finally made it and bought an HR-V GH2 1.6 model and I feel superb!
"I'm not gonna explain what vtec is"
*explains vtec*
The Integra Type R is insanely amazing. I fell in love with them when Peter Cunningham raced them with the RealTime team. I will own one at some point.
Been a mechanic now for 5 years and growing up loving cars by playing need for speed I have driven fixed all cars except hypercars but I was more happy to service integra and test drive it than any other car on the planet its gem
Just got a “Beat Ad” by Acura while watching this video
Probably the only thing I could relate to
Same here😶
Same
I got it 3 times 🙃
Same
Wtf. I read this and wondered what in the hell were you talking about. Within 30 seconds I got the same ad
Love this car, along with the 99-00 civic si. This was such a great era for Japanese cars. They were simple and effective, even though the new type r civic is cool it’s just got way to much going on. Honda really nailed it with these cars.
The '99 Si is just sick. I bought a Eclipse GSX instead due to F&F but regret it still to this day. Was a hardcore Mitsubishi fan back then. What happened to that company? Honda also had the see till sexy AF Prelude as well.
I agree, while I'd still love to have the new civic type r.... The late 90s style and simplicity still holds the trophy for me.
The styling on the new ctr is not for everyone but it's better looking in person.... I agree about the 90s era jdm cars tho
Love the attention these cars are getting! Can't wait to finish the rebuild on my Type R!
You can tell the real passion of a true gear head when he talks about this car, love the content, love the car and this is one of my favorite episodes guys!
Jeremiah has grown on me especially when I see him and Joe on podcasts together they are gold

As a GSR owner I have to say i never get bored of driving my car.

@@gtgokujr idk, man, I can't really enjoy a show when I know that everything is an act. A very bad take on it aswell.. Like when they made Alabama look bad while I'm reality noone even went after them. Or when they faked Tesla breaking down while in reality nothing was wrong with it... It's a very shitty show and run by low lives without respect. Just ONE thing they done that should be enough to show you how worthless these people are is the Tesla situation. They made Tesla look bad while in reality it's a great performing car. They made Tesla look bad and so far everyone I know thought that top Gear is not fake... that's just wrong.
Appreciate this guy not trying to emulate James, seems hes finding his own groove. Props!
Just bought my son's 2000 Type R. Honestly kind of excited. It's mostly stock; I think only the air intake and and the intake manifold have been changed. It's a bit rough but I think I can baby it back.
My grandma had an all white integra. Seeing that interior brought me back to leaving church on the way to godfathers pizza and I couldnt wait to spend my quarters on stickers in the vending machine or steal croutons from the salad bar or go play rampage on the arcade machines in the corner of the godfathers. Ahhh good times.

Living in a shithole might actually be better, since dudes just wanna smash a window and steal your radio or something. If you are in a high class neighborhood, it's the perfect spot to look for expensive cars and steal em.
I live in a neighborhood full of old people and I plan on getting a cheap Integra or Civic, and even then I'm gonna install a fuel switch.
I had a '99 UK spec Honda Integra Type R... It's probably the best car I've ever owned. The engine and gearbox are absolutely phenomenal and it handles like it's on rails.
"Maintenance mode"is the perfect way the break the windshield of your $82k integera
How do you even break JUST the windshield
And that Type-R Windshield is Unique to the ITR. It's thinner than the standard windscreen. Also Donut Media is cringe

@@araybeezy1653 donut media is not cringe, check out something like gears & gasoline or Top Gear for that LOL
@@SaltSpirits as an acura integra enthusiast/owner its hard not to click on a video like this. even the title is cringey
This guy just doesn’t bring stuff to life the way James does
Nah I like it, I remember he used to sound a lot like him and I hated it. I like this guy's videos way more because it's not James
Give him some time. Anytime anyone tries something new it takes them a while to develop the style and skills needed to do it. Pumphrey used to be a bit bland too to be honest. If you watch an episode of Up to Speed from a couple years ago, you'll see how far he's come. In even a few months I bet we'll be loving B2B just as much as we want to.
"this thing has a pretty good amount of space in it, considering it's a 'luxury vehicle' " did hon- acura make him say that???
The type R is great but the GS-R is such a sleeper and doesn’t get any recognition but sooner or later low mileage clean ones will go for top dollar
BrawlFreak786 trust me... there’s absolutely nothing sleeper about a gsr. It was the number one stolen car on the planet. Also no such thing as a low mile gsr either.
GSR engine is awesome, I wish there were more GSR's still around
Prices already going up on those.
My GSR was soooo sick, my buddy bought it in 2008, with 40k mikes on it. Flawless car in and out, For something like $10,000. 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.
Integra gsr, (G)rand (S)port (R)acing, is a "sleeper"? Wtf?😂

I'm simply sick of those types of people who say "It's just a [whatever it is]. Why do you care so much?" Well, ask Donut Media why do they care so much that they have 3Mill Subs?

I remember one day finishing from work (I'm a mechanic) and saw it and fell in love with it.
I love the part when you said "the smell reminds me of my sister's car"... Her car did smell really nice. I got fond memories of it as well. Nostalgia!! Tell her Clint said Hi (she'll remember)
I appreciate car for being the every first car we drive in NFSU1 or where nfs tuners became booming
If you want to get super nerdy, Eric the Car Guy did a 30min video on every single feature that makes a Type R special.
Another really underrated JDM is the Celica GT-Four ST205, this is Supra's lil brother and imo better.
Sooooo rare to find in MERICA - people had no taste for the Rally cars till the early 2000s

I know a guy that used to have one. he sold it and now totally regrets it. At the time I never appreciated it as much as it deserved. very cool
The thing I love about this show is that every video has a different intro
finally some recognition for one of the best machines ever
@5:15 VIN number on valve cover??? There are some differences over the b series valve covers for the different engines, usdm and jdm. But VIN tagged was never a thing.
pretty sure he was talking about the cylinder head, valve cover dont have
This episode is making me wish I never sold my 98 GSR integra. I've been missing it since I sold it.
You fool! Sorry dude.
I had a 97...I wrecked it in spectacular fashion.
Overshadowed??? Bruh, In the 90s EVERYONE knew about the potential of the Integra. Especially the Type-R.
Exactly, this guy just tried to sound dramatic or something lol
No, people did not know how good it was in the 90s, when it came out. They realized how good it was early 2000s when it was no longer in production. That's why these cars are known for the used and aftermarket market
@@joosunkmybattleship In the US maybe, everywhere else the car was a legend the second it rolled off the factory floor :) They were notorious, for various reasons, back in their day. Firstly, because other "fast car" owners used them for gatekeeping in the street-racing scene. "Can it beat a Type-R" was a question often asked.
There was, however, a bad side to all of it.... due to the weight-cutting (which my main man in the videos doesn't even mention, my DC2 was 1010 kilos without the spare in the back, which is insane) if you crashed this beauty at any nasty speed, yikes.....
@@MrEquinoxParadox dang I did not know that these cars were respected since day one outside of the US. I wished the US did so the market would still be here. But yeh we know these cars as mini coffins in a car crash as well hahaha
I don't even know this car before I start play Underground lol 😂 cuz this car is not available in my country so we need to import it from Japan...
A true genius likes whatever car they personally like - regardless of its perception, opinions and stats from other people.
I love the Integra and I love the NSX, I literally love every single Japanese sports car from the 90s (like the 90s were an exception)
Best cars hands down. Integras, Silvias, fc, fd, supras, skylines, nsx. I'd take a jdm collection over lambo and Ferraris and day

I had one, sold it, and have regretted it ever since. I absolutely loved that car.
I appreciate the Integra, always have since I got into Japanese Tuners. Sadly I doubt Honda would revive this car as the Accord coupe was discontinued and I rarely see new Civic coupes, more hatchbacks and sedans. This just adds to the car's value as it's turning into a future classic
It's already a classic... 😊
Honda no longer sells fun and affordable cars. Want a proper sports car with 2 doors by honda now, only the Nsx $$$$$ 😑.

Hard to believe some of these cars could have been had so cheap compared to their prices now. I knew a guy with one almost identical to the car in the video, that was over 10yrs ago!
Change the name to "I love Integra type R and i call everyone who agrees with me a Genius"
I see he learned from the Civic video, in this video he actually talks about the engine instead of just pointing out colored coolant hoses lol
I'm from the Philippines and my dad got the Integra DC5 a few years after it was released and we even had to convert it to left hand drive which took some waiting and going to the airport back and forth and once we got it, my dad was so happy because he knew the DC5 was gonna be a killer, and boy was he right, he got bronze rims similar to the type s ones and did some interior stuff, the thing was naturally aspirated (for half of the time my dad had it) but it when we got a turbo, it was gapping civics and Lancers ane everythings everywhere, but than we got broke due to some personal family problems, and my dad had to sell the Integra to get a more reliable car, it shaped a core memory in my brain, accidentally dropping the clutch while handing it to my dad, almost scratching the door with scissors, and when we had the car, we were the top dog in our entire city, we were possibly the only ones with it in the country, but some Manila kid probably got one before us.
Please don’t forget the Acura DC5 RSX Type R
