Default 02 Honda Integra Type-R review



I don't know if it's been posted before. But I did a search in the ITR forum and nothing came up. If you've read it before maybe some people who haven't seen it can.

I sure like it. What other colour is it available in. And is there any possibility of this car showing up in Canada... Ontario by any chance?

Well if I said it did this time on this track, American people would ask for quarter mile times were. I thought I would put that at ease.

And I know what the "Type-R" is about. Winning car shows

Don't get your hopes.

Torsional rigidity is up 116% and bend rigidity rises 35% which sort of makes you wonder just how the old car stayed together in the corners.
The result? You can take corners on average 15 to 20 kph faster than the old model. Driven back to back with the old model, the most impressive feature of the new R’s cornering potential was improved rear grip. The tail will not slide, not unless you really provoke it.
Interesting Quote from the Artical.

What does a DC5R with Hondata run?

I've driven DC5s with Hondata, but never a DC5R with it. Please do tell.

Take corners on average 15-20km faster!? Thats like freaking 9-12mph faster in the corners. I'm sorry I have no doubt the new R is faster but its not THAT much faster. 9-12mph is a HUGE difference.

2.6 million yen converts to about 21,600 USD. Not a bad deal. If the DC5 R ever makes it to North America, it will probably be about 24k and watered down

Yeah, cuz rear grip was such a problem on DC2s right?? LOL, dumb comment on their part. I guess they forget that loose=fast in a FF car.
