In case anyone is still interested, here is a link to Honda Australia's press release on the new Integra, including the Type-R...

220 hp... not bad...

 

Ohhh... YAY! The Aussies get the R's before the Yanks do!! I see how it is... Gee, thanks Honda

When the fork do we get the R's?!?!

 

"Special components including greater front knuckle rigidity, larger rear stabilizers, harder damper mounts and bushing parts, a more rigid steering system and larger, high-performance tyres improve the new Integra Type R's cornering abilities."

Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The Aussies drive on the wrong side of the road - so importation and RHD issues are non-existent.

 

Silly Aussies. Cheers, mate!

 

Now, now. Don't get bitter! We didn't get the Type-R in Australia until late 1999.

 

Yes, but you guys have KANGAROOS. roflmao

 

lol??? and???? yes correct we have skippy the bush kangaroo, we also speak english and not Australian and lastly we get better cars than you guys RoFL

We're getting it here in New Zealand at the same time as well

I heard that it will be launched in October, hopefully at the Champ car race at Surfers, any of you guys going to the Surfers race????

man i would love to go to surfers this year, but would need at least $1000 to enjoy myself
would rather save that money and mod the black bitch, ehhe

 

Bastard!

 

Does that mean the Aussie version is not limited edition liek previous Type-R's?

 

No. The press release was for the new Integra in general, not just the Type-R.
