Re: I HATE MY INTEGRA TYPE R (jond)
No offense here, but the only reason to have a civic type R is if you can't afford an integra type R. In every road test I have read, the ITR is quite a bit better than the CTR.

Re: I HATE MY INTEGRA TYPE R (ITRbroham)
yeah, even though the ITR is a hatchback, really, i like the 'smallness' of the 6th-gen civic hb's better. even though the CTR's weigh only about 100lbs less than the ITR, and the wheelbase is longer, i still dig it.

Re: I HATE MY INTEGRA TYPE R (chikai)
EP -- I was looking into the Civic R before they decided not to import it here ("settled" for my '97 ITR). 
How's the waiting list for the Silver State Challenge, I need another reason to drive out there!!

Re: I HATE MY INTEGRA TYPE R (yoshi234)
http://www.spoonsports.co.jp says it all. The Civic R is a race car from the ground up. Well balanced and easy to drive fast. Spoon calls the Integra R a "good beginners car". Sorry guys, the Civic R's shorter wheelbase and light weight make it a better track car than the ITR. Sad but true!

Re: I HATE MY INTEGRA TYPE R (Big Phat R)
That one might take a little getting used to (though the wheels would probably fit if placed in the rear behind a roll bar, like on a tire rack).
The previous Civic Type-R ... (maybe even just a factory VTi with a Drag Turbo kit).

Re: I HATE MY INTEGRA TYPE R (Big Phat R)
It doesn't look as crappy as most civics, but just a little to ricie for my taste.
When someone ask what you drive what would you say "a civic type-r"
Laughter would rattle the building as images of some yo-boy civic with a 3 foot wing and type-r stickers enters everyone's mind.

Re: I HATE MY INTEGRA TYPE R (jond)
you know, it's too bad that riceboys had to blatantly destroy the 'type R' prestige, you know? in 97 and 98 is meant something, and now it's just a joke, except to those that know.

Re: I HATE MY INTEGRA TYPE R (jond)
I also agree.......I wish that Honda had put something down that said people couldn't copy the "Type R" name. I have people asking me all the time. "Is that real"......"I saw a Civic Type R the other day." Sucks.

Re: I HATE MY INTEGRA TYPE R (8400-RPM)
Yeah I think it has gotten out of hand. The other day I had some guys ask me if I had a real Type R motor in my car. I told them I hoped so considering that I bought a real Type R.
On another note I saw a 5th gen Civic with a 3rd gen Integra front end this morning. It looked good, it was tastefully done and looked stock. Kinda cool.
