DC5 Type R!!!!!

I got a quick question...I'm looking into buying a RSX TYPE R or HONDA INTEGRA TYPE R or DC5 TYPE R...whatever you call it! I NEVER saw one on the street...i just saw the Type S (I know the Type R is better...or is the Type S the Type R...are they the same?) anyway ya'll think Acura or Honda dealers will have it or anyone cuz I never saw one on the street...just in shows!

The Type S is a far cry from the Type R.

The Japanese Type R gets:
Recaro seats (so does the Type S but they're black instead of coloured, and they're leather not suede)
LSD
17' Rims
Body kit and Wing
Springs
Brembo brakes
Beefed up engine (217 hp vs 200)
Little trim and things like that
HID's
And more.

I'm 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% sure there won't be a Type R or at least not a Type R like the DC5R.

The Integra Type R (DC2) was a watered down version of the Japanese DC2R. Same thing would apply here. The DC5R needs about 98 octane fuel, thus meaning detuning would have to occur for it to pass emissions and use a lower octane fuel. Plus Acura believe that the A-Spec is good enough for us.

And lastly, it is believe that the 2005 RSX will be better and redesigned.

Buy a (as Canuck said, "detuned") Type R conversion on ebay for about three times the cost of a Type S. An incomplete conversion just sold about 3 months or so ago...

So we have Recaro seats in the type-s?

Good luck getting a new RSX/Integra Type-R in the US, or Canada, for that matter. Let me know if you ever sneak one into the country! :grinno:

I say get a 2001 integra type R. And if you can, find a jdm itr front end conversion and slap it on there. If not you can get a rsx type S, but not a R, the Rsx Type R is only in japan, and it isn't called an RSX type R, it is a Honda Integra Type R!

I'd get the Type S over the Teg Type R.

Me too.

The RSX seats are Recaro designed, but it doesn't have their badge or famous alcantara suede.

Well, still a far cry from most seats.

Get teh type s then get.
ITR Cams
ITR Intake manifold
And ITR Hondata ecu reflash.

I test drove an 01 type R integ and ended up buying a Type S, but i did hear after i bought mine that the type R integs have better handling.

Yeah, they do because the RSX is only a worse handler to the teg's because of the height and tires.

A DC5R would beat a DC2R

I am planning on buying a dc5 integra type R RSX next year sometime ( i am going to import it from japan, don't know how yet, but im going to get one) I found a couple of them in the states, but none were for sell....... I really, really want to get this rsx... Right hand drive B I T C H E S

Sorry, that's very cool and all, but the cash you are going to spend will get you a far better car. And what about importing an S15 or something?

*cough*horseshit*cough* Now what's all this about importing a dc5?

just so you guys know, recaro makes almost all honda seats anyway.

yes, even the ones found in your non-si civic.

No, they don't. They may design all of them, but only some get the Alcantara suede which are the Recaro-made ones.(like the DC5R).

hit that link.. my friend is selling his

Nice Type R for sale. It has even been converted to RWD, has a K20A2 instead of K20A and its a freaking Type S and not a Type R.

It has even been converted to RWD

:iamwithst

I meant RHD :o

I have a 2006 Honda Integra Type R (DC5) that I bought it in 2007, in Hong Kong, where I have lived for more than 12 years. I'm planning to move back to the States in the next couple of years and I would REALLY like to ship it "back home" to Oregon... Just wondering if anyone knows if this is even possible and/or what is required. Of course, making it Street Legal is my first-choice... but maintaining it as a "track car" is an option too. And and all insights, suggestions, etc., GREATLY appreciated! All the best..
