Looks nice, welcome, and keep her safe!

 

I had a 1996 GTi VR6 too, only in red. HKS mushroom style intake, remus exhaust, H&R springs, etc. Very torquey car but the shifts were weakskillz . You should enjoy the ITR a lot more . I know I do.

 

welcome

 

Welcome aboard. Congrats on your new R; she looks nice & clean.

Your GTI looked nice. The smiles come at different ends of the powerband, but winding out the R gets addictive. You've probably been bitten already.

Check out the FAQ thread stickied at the top of the forum for much useful information covering service to troubleshooting to aftermarket parts.

 

I noticed that there is no a/c system on your car, is that a canadian R thing or was it removed. Very nice R a bog upgrade from the Vee Dub. You can really get to know your fast now...lol!

 

Is that rebuilt? I see old fire damage in the engine bay.

 

was the car in an accident or is that just a very dirty area of the engine bay? look at the passenger shock tower.

I'm maybe thinking it's rust from the salt used in Ontario during the winter months.

 

I could be wrong but I bet that's an anti-rust coating for winter.

IMHO a/c is a luxury, our cars are made to peRfoRm! if i wanted luxury i'd be in a Lexus or a G35 or something

that's what I think it is. They spray that nasty crap all over the engine bay up there. Damn Canadians.

 

yuck...

AC was always an option up in the north....

OP: Nice car, welcome....

 

Congrats,
As another TO owner, whatever you do keep it in the garage.
To many R's are being taxed up here. Enjoy!!!

 

Welcome! Glad to see another PY in the area...I'm from London.

 

its a 2000 integra type R.. it didn't come with a/c from the factory.. ya that is rust spray, i hate it so much, makes a mess of everything.. i been trying to clean it off.. its very hard to clean the stuff off..

 

Congrats on your purchase. Seems to have alot of KMs for a 2000.

 

Ahhhh a virgin R, don't see those everyday.

 

Nice car and keep it safe! You just might be in the worst Canadian city to own an R with the others being Surrey and Van.

Take a look at this thread if you didn't already http://autopia.org/forum/showthread.php?t=72358

 

thanks for the link about the rust check 330R.

type r vs GTI VR6

handling- the type R takes it hands down..

acceleration- the type r would kill it on the 1/4 mile but on the hwy it would be a pretty close race...

braking- i would say it would be a tie both are very good stoping cars

comfort- i would got to give it the GTI very easy to get in and out lots of space and A/C ahahahah

interior- GTI has much better interior then the type R

Gas- GTI gets around 9kms per litre type r gets around 12 per litre

preformance wise type R takes this hands down, for everyday driver i think GTI would be better pick.. i like the type R much more then my GTI both are very good made cars tho

 

did canadian itr's not come with the metal shift **** for 00-01? it looks like you have the 97-98 red stitch **** in there.
