New member, new to the Type-R. Have some questions about it.

Hi,
I am from the Caribbean and I am looking to buy a used Integra Type-R as my daily driver and weekend bracket racing.

I did a search to find about the possible problems with the Integra Type-R and couldn't find anything.

Basically, what's the best year of the j-spec type-r to buy. And what are the weaklinks on the integra type-r.

Also, when I see ITR in posts. Do you guys mean Integra Type-R?

Thanks

The reason you havent found any problems with the Type R is because there isnt any. Syncro's have known to be a problem but alot has to do with the driver. I am not sure what R's you would get in the carribean but one really isnt better than the other. Yes the ITR stands for Integra Type R.

Only weak link in the motor IMO are the piston rings...most people start burning oil after 50k miles, otherwise mechanically the car is almost perfect
