Default 1999 Type-R, was it ever made??

I know the 1999 Type-R was not imported for that year to the States, but in Canada, was there a 1999 Type-R?? Because I'm about to buy one.

OK, most of us know that (no 99's in US) but do you know why they did not exactly? I mean, if they already had the Integra in the US since 94, complied to OBD-II standards in 96', why didn't they bring it in 99'? I can't think of any significant changes in the design since their last refreshening was in 98'. Why didn't they take care of whatever emissions/safety issues they had in the 98' update? I do remember that the 96' Toyota Supra Turbo 6-spd was held back because it couldn't pass emissions. However, the Supra Turbo was available in other configurations. Otherwise, I can't think of any other cars that were held back.

Didn't you just post a thread about the '99 itr you are looking at?

Didn't we all tell you NOT to buy that car??? It's very questionable....

Does the '99 ITR have '98 spec cams or '00-01-spec cams? We all know that the 00-01s had a more aggressive intake cam but did the CDM '99s as well?

I've read many different things. Like the 99 was the same as the 98. But than I read that 99 was when they introduced the more aggressive intake cam. But than I see something that the 99 had a different setup than every other year.

correction:
The 99 has got a Momo steering wheel... The 98 doesn`t. It`s ugly and huge compared to the Momo.
