deciding what year type r

I've had a 94 gsr for past 6 years 208,000 miles.Only JUN cams, camshafts, and lighten flywheel. Still runs strong, not selling . I would love to purchase a type r.From 97-01, which year is the one to get? This r will be my daily driver, maybe it will see 200,000 miles. It upsets me to see 2000 r for sale with only 60,000 miles. Everyone raves how its extasy at 8000 miles, but I think its extasy because they hardly experience it. A type r should be driven not stored, that's why we have american muscle cars. Thanks .

Re: deciding what year type r (dragnu)

Sort of depends on what color you'd like.
For championship white your choice is limited to 97-98 for a USDM car.
2000 and 2001 are the years for the yellow and black ones (black being more limited in production). HTH

Re: deciding what year type r (dragnu)

Naw man, in terms of performance, they're all very very similar from 97-01. The 97 has a different front grill. Apart from the color, that's the easiest way to tell them apart.

OBD2. Doens't really make a difference except that OBD1 is easier to tune. Some of us have gone back to OBD1 (Hondata/Uberdata) to tune.

Re: deciding what year type r (ccfries)

Chris, thanks for info. Eventually when I purchase Type r I will be adding JUN cams, camshafts, and flywheel. Here in L.A. and especially E.La I get pulled over at least once every month and first thing CHP says "prop hood open" they check for mods. Thanks once again.

Re: deciding what year type r (BoostR41)

Championship White looks faster than PY, NBP and FBP. Hense the name " Championship White!

Hunt yourself down a 97.

Re: deciding what year type r (dragnu)

if you want black, there are two blacks. 2000 offered the flamenco black pearl and the 2001 was the nighthawk black.
flamenco = green, purple, & blue flakes
nighthawk = blue flakes

anyway, 97s will be the hardest to hunt down. personally, i like black Rs, but the color is high maintenance compared to CW.

So if I starve myself over a couple days and take a hefty dump, I would then smoke the type r with the lighter paint? That would shave at least 10 lbs off the cars weight but no more than 75 lbs.
