I'm curious. I juat baught a type R that is being shipped to me from texas. Its been my dream car for years but never got to ride in one. I owned a 2001 Integra Gsr and liked it but like my friends 2000 civic si better. What I want to no is what does it feel like at vtec crossover in the type R compared to the gsr and si. Does it pull alot harder and kick in faster? Is it louder? Im talking with an intake only or stock comparisons. Thanks

 

Being that I've had both there is no compairison. It's like night and day. the R is much crisper in corners, much more raw feeling, faster, vtec "kicks" in harder and it's much more of a theft magnet.

 

Is it alot more drastic when vtec kicks in then both the si and gs-r?

 

You BAUGHT a car that you know little to nothing about and now you want a GS-R to Type-R comparison?

CLASSIC.

In short yes. You sound like you need to do a lot of reading up on these things. I would go through the FAQ's and read as many posts as possible. I think I read on the site for about 6 months before I signed up as a user. I'm not trying to be a dick but the only way to learn is to put yourself forward and do it. Good luck with the new car and please keep it safe.

Word!

Si and a R are not comparable.

 

I no lots about both cars and all the specs down to the tee. I just worded it wronf I guess. I basically just want to no the difference in feeling between the cars since I have never ridden in a Type R. I no they are way better but how much of a difference is there basically when vtec engages. I hate the dual stage manifold of the GS-R. The Si's motor seems better to me. I like the fact that the Type R has a single stage manifold. Jst want to experience comparisons. Thanks

 

Register your R on http://www.itrca.com..... This site will also give you tons of info on your new car..... Have fun and good luck with it....

You question makes more sense now..but I still suggest you wait till your new toy arrives, then tell us

 

Im so excited now and I have to wait like 2 weeks to get it.

 

If you liked the fat pig (Si) you'll love the R.

THIS IS EXACTLY, WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY. ON POINT.

HANDS- DOWN.

 

Stock for stock, there's a big difference.

...but I don't buy a car to drive it "as is" from the factory...

 

You buy car be4 drive? I kno think that two smart. You shoore it good? Type R vtec kik hard like donkey.

Fixed that for you.

 

yah..i also have driving both My Type R and a SI. And yah..there both two way different cars...I do love the way the SI's Vtec sounds..It really high pitch and loud. and a type R's Vtec is more of a deaper sound. Yes the Type R handle's very well and takes corners nice and is faster. no doubt..but there both two great cars.

Like people said before..Learn more about the car before buying it..

 

I just can't believe you bought the R without driving in it.

 

I've had the opportunity to drive an Si, which was my first love, an R, the second love, but she wasn't in the best condition, and now a GSR. The Si seemed like a high school car to me, seats weren't very comfortable, not as good of quality as Integras. The R was raw and big fun. The GSR compared to the Si is a nice car to cruise in. Comfortable leather, good ride (stock). Sound system could use a little help though, never bothered me in the R though.

For the record, My Si had intake, exhaust, suspension and 17" Volks, rough ride, loud. The R was stock but much for focused and handled better than the Si with suspension. The GSR is stock except for intake and will probably remain so.

Type R's dont have Vtec

 

When i bought my car, i got to drive it around a townhouse block @ 5mph...:\ (No insurance, plated and lived DOWNTOWN Jungle of TORONTO!!! Arghh)

Luckily i was with my Uncle, hes 6'3 260lbs...
I simply told the dude, "I love the car, looks great, mint condition.. but you SURE and GUARENTEE when i hand the cash over it runs PERFECTLY GOOD?, because i don't **** around, so don't **** aruodn with me.." -in a jokingly manner of course.. -he replied, "YES yes, dont worry!"

Next day, gave him 19gs in cash and drove away.. thing ran better then my 02 RSX-S!

Its a 50/50 situation i guess.. i took my chances, and so did he..

 

lol.. i forgot to add, i won't forget the day i picked it up..one of the best days :D

I had a 1 hour trek bac home... and i drove thru downtown T.Dot in my new fresh R.. man.. I felt like GOD. hahah.. got on VTEC and my face just turned blush red. Like a little boy on christmas.

Well, I love my SI (well, right now I "hate it"), but YAH. I have full GSR leather in there. I think it's comfy. I'm trying to get away from that. I like that raw ride. Owning an R is a constant headache.

I hope you are prepared.
