Ok I've searched and searched and searched- here on HT, and on ITRCA.

I'm looking for an accurate and exhaustive list of every last difference between the USDM and CDM North American market Integra TypeR's.

I know the big ones:

CDM had Championship White available in 2000 and 2001 (01 had red seats)
CDM models have daytime running lights (DRL's)
Cluster reads in KM instead of MPH



I just test drove a Champ White Canadian R today. Things of note:

-It had rear wiper
-It had immobilizer icon on cluster

-It did not have stock carbon look interior


If anyone has personal experience and/or a link to Honda's official info on this topic your help would be will appreciated! I'm especially interested in making sure the CDN's got the faster steering ratio in 2000, since the Canadian I drove today felt "slow" like my 98 USDM R

we had CW one from 97-01
in ONLY 2000 yellow ones were offered as the CW was still being offered that year
no carbon trim/ aluminum shift ****. we got the leather one
we got immobilizer from 2000 +
for 2001 cdm itrs we were only offered in CW and came with the canadian theme white/red
red interior

only year that didnt come with rear wiper is 97
in 1999 unlike US in canada they were still selling itrs in 1999
and we never got black itrs
i'm pretty sure we didnt get different steering ratio rack.

 

Help from "above" awesome! Your post confirmed many of my theories and things I've been reading- but specifically the fact that you didn't get the carbon look trim makes me feel better since the one I test drove did not have it. It seems weird they would use different trim for cars that were all bound for North America.

 

maybe the taste of different countries?

 

ours came with beaver fur floormats as well.
