I might be in the market for a 1998 Type R and I was wondering which series of numbers for that year were the ones that had engine problems? Thanks.

 

Never heard such a thing.

 

Neither have I.

 

The ones that were stolen

don't remind me..

but yeah, i've never heard of this either..

 

A freind of mine used to have one and he told me that Acura recalled a series of Type Rs in 98 for some engine problems.

 

I've never heard of any recalls.

 

Well I guess I have nothing to worry about then except the decision of wether or not to sell my 440 whp Civic and get a Type R that would be slower, but a whole lot nicer (and have A/C), or to keep a car that's fast as hell but not as nice. Also, selling the Civic would get me out of a lot of debt. A 400 plus whp car tends to break stuff quite often.

 

My ITR doesn't have A/C nor is it nice, frankly it's a bucket.

Anyone I'd get would have A/C, would be clean, and wouldn't be heavily modified. I just want something that's fun to drive and looks good. PLus, I've wanted a Type R for 5 years now.

 

Only recurring problems I have seen the R's have is:

1) burning oil
2) weak alternator
3) rattling windows
4) windows that get stuck half way up
5) hatch leak

which all leads to high insurance rates

 

And they get stolen a lot too.

 

LOL!!! Mine's been stolen twice, broken into once, and just last week had the wheels stolen, so pardon me if I seem to point out the obvious.

haha yes this does happen. the other day it happened to me for the first time and about 50 coins went all over the place. i was like WTF is this. all the sudden change just went flying everywhere. haha anyways this and the common glove box light on all the time are the only things i have notced so far

 

Never have i heard that, and my friend had a 98.

 

(dc231) you deserve it if you're that stupid to let you ITR get done like that 2-3+ times.

 

I think the change, glove box, and window problem is appearant on all integras. I have never heard of any recall on a type r. Every problem that a type r has can be attributed to racing. Well upset for the a/c thing.

 

My power antenna likes to get stuck a lot in my 98.

My antenna goes down 90% of the way and then stops. I'm just gonna pull the damn thing out. No sense in having it since I never listen to the radio.

Type R seats fade into an ugly color, too. Bet I've got the nastiest seats around
