ED1RTY 2 Report post Posted February 19, 2006 Know much about type R integras? Weaknesses? Things to look out for? overall impressions? Test drove a DC2 Type R About 2 months ago, meh, would never buy one, good power, sh*t handling, I'd own a BMW anyday, invest in a cheap E30 M3 that'd be my pick seeing as a good (define: un-thrashed by numb skull boy racer) Teg is around the same price.

*sic 1 Report post Posted February 19, 2006 sh*t handling, what the hell?...must have been a sh*t heap.. they handle mint. little understeer here and there, but to be expected, for a standard car they are resonable, with a few bolt ons they are great and the aftermarket parts for the b18CRs are HUGE.

m325i 705 Report post Posted February 19, 2006 are km's an issue? What happens if they are vt@k'd out? I haven't heard of any type r engines popping? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Andrew Report post Posted February 19, 2006 Just like to comment - that vintage integra and my e30 both in race car trim are identical in terms of handling and speed - the integras get round the track a different way - but with the same end result. The K20A (i think is the engine code) powered type R (perhaps in DC5) are insane - they are retardedly fast and vt@k and pwn the f**k out of me.

I haven't heard of any type r engines popping? high kms, yea well depends on the maintenance of the car.. owner, raced?.. etcall the internal parts are replaceable with new typre R parts... but its pretty uncommon for them to pop. i havent heard of it... only turbos.. but then that only in drags.. ie ronnie lim.. but he f**ks gear boxes more than anything.. he runs standard boxes with 400+HP Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

325GRANT 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2006 hondas are bulletproof ive seen a few of these with no engine work done apart from a turbo bolted on being driven very (VERY) hard. they love it. i met a guy a while ago that has done a few conversions, honda engine into E36 bmws. bolt on a turbo kit and bobs your nana, fast strong engine. while a lot of people here wont like that, you have to admit it can be a cheap / safe way to insert big HP into a bmw.

E34-535ti 5 Report post Posted February 20, 2006 I had one for 4 yrs, never had a problem with it at all. Hondas aren't like BMWs, each model doesn't have a big list of things that commonly go wrong with them or need constant maintaining. The only things I can think of are leaky cam seals and fuel pump relays that make them hard to start when hot. Oh and the dip stick tubes can come loose after lots of track time. The ITR is usually refered to as the best handling FWD around, it would certainly out handle any BMW I've driven..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E34-535ti 5 Report post Posted February 20, 2006 I wish I still had it!! Only real problem (even then more of a minor irritation than a full on problem) was it wasn't the best for long distance cruising - a little harsh riding and noisy. Was super economical though!

Neal 512 Report post Posted February 20, 2006 Test drove on of those very early 1800 versions , engine still had those wire lock tabs that you see on some prodie racing vechiles, straight from some Japan series . Was impressed by the sky high rev limit...... Almost as good as a modded e30 m3. Had a ride comfit that would rattle your fillings out. Best sub 2.0 performance car I've driven. Anyway , why aren't you driving a bimmer ? (or do you ?). Also while we're at it that CBR 250 RRRRRR needs to go ... Ducati is the way ..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A couple I looked at had both leaked oil around the CAM covers , and one had CV issues , but I suspect the CV issues one had done about 200,000 ks more than was on the clock.
