Default B18c Hatch v.s. Type R

b18c hatch with I/H/E and pulleys do you think this could hang with a ITR.

Don't know. Go buy an ITR and build a "b18c hatch with I/H/E and pulleys" and let us know...

that would be a nice race on a road course

I think the only advantage the type R (integra) has over the EH2 (Im talking about a very well setup EH) is a lower center of gravity? maybe a better CF rating?

Please read the rules of the forum, thanks.

I have asked that we refrain from car vs. car stuff.

Too many variables.

For reference I had a GS-R swap in my old 1992 Si hatch and it would beat every Type R I raced from a stop. Most GS-R swapped hatches run anywhere from a 14.0-14.8 whereas the same ITR runs a 14.6-15.2 so think about it.

Again too many variables.

ITR guys will say take it to a road course, but look at the ECHC times and you'll see that the top H1 cars are hybrid hatches which run better times than the ITRs.



I'm an ***.

The ITR is still the baddest-assed production FF car that Honda has ever made. ]

Each car has its pros and cons.
