I have heard many myths and legends about the type R hatch being a little bit lighter then the integra hatch because it has a thinner glass and all sorts of other urban legends, but I was just wondering if anyone knows for a FACT the differences in the two.

Thanks

Compare the ITR to the LS hatch glass. The part numbers for the 98, 00-01 cars are the same (73201-ST7-A01). (The '97 real glass may be different with p/n 73201-ST7-R01.) The front windshied was rumored to be thinner. It also is the same as other Integras (73111-ST7-A01).

 

I think that may be for a change in the rear defrost diagram on the glass

 

ive heard that too, i think its like the same weight as the rs

 

gsr rear glass is always best
u dont gotta deal with the gay third tail light

 

if anything the gsr weighs less cuz theres no 3rd brake light

 

anyone else?

 

ITR is lighter by FAR....

why? carbon fiber console. that's where all the weights at.

*joke*

Type R = no sunroof/moonroof

What about each's motor? think there is any difference in weight between the 3?

How did we go from the hatch to the roof? The ITR ('97 at least) had the rear wiper removed to save a little weight.

 

ya thats what I found pretty much later on, the 1998+ type r started to have the rear wiper and AC as an option and all that blah blah blah

 

all these little ******* stupid wight reductions dont do anything ur better off losing weight urslef lol

Correct, theres no hole in the glass on a 97 for the rear wiper.

So the '97 USDM ITR has no plugged hole in the glass for the missing wiper. That would explain the unique p/n for the glass.

I drive an 1997 Type R and can verify this as being true. Everything is exactly the same minus the hole. Even the underside of the hatch, the inside plastic interior pieces has all the buldging to accept a rear wiper motor.

As far as weight, massly produced cars and Honda is a prime example, cut costs by using as much as the same stuff as possible. I don't know for a fact, but the part numbers show that the rear hatches are one and the same.

Good information.

The '97 ITR Helm Supplement makes no mention of a lightened hatch. The only body modifications added weight to stiffen the structure.

 

Oh, i thought we were talking about the hatchback version of the cars, not the hatchback itself.

 

But on the 97 glass, there are holes for the third brake light though.

 

Is that what you want to do? Add a Type R Glass to your Gsr? It was a wasted of money ,trust me. I didn't get to finish it. Just go get a Carbon Fiber Hatch and paint it. Thats weight reduction.

 

As far as curb weight goes, The RS is the lightest, followed by the Type R, the GS, LS, and the heaviest of all the GSR.
