Yeah, what about the type-r sticker?

[youngvr4]

isnt type-r equivalent to type-s?

integra typ-r
rsx-s

[lamehonda]

Not even close. Type-s is a not a serious track car. The type-r had 20 hp more than the S for 2002-2004, and was targeted towards enthusiasts rather than rich teenage kids.

its comparable to the difference between an older integra gsr and type r. gsr is like type s and type r is like...

Oh that is so below the belt lamehonda!

and since when was the Type R running 220hp??? In the US it was running 195, and the JDM had 200...both with less torque...dont be jealous cause a teenager could afford to get his own Type S with his own money

[lamehonda]

I got that info from japanese acura site. The type-r is set up for the track with upgraded suspension, brakes, wheels and tires, higher revving engine. You are confusing the old type-r with the newest one. We can't buy the new one in the states yet.

Sorry if someone is offended. I too like the type-s, but it isn't nearly as track ready and costly as the type-r.


BTW the car makes 220 hp at 8000 rpms

glad to see you used your stock twin turbo to beat up on some kid, i would do the same thing, but then i would find a guy out with his girl and rape his car over and over again to make him feel like a idiot

I see we think alike...I love just playing with the local ricers in their fart can'd Civics when they are riding with thier lady freinds. They cant turn down the challenge, but its almost like they know they will loose, and that always hurts in front of the lady friend.

Also, with the RSX in question, he may have done a full swap, engine, suspension, and all, and decided to go the extra length to get the "JDM Tizzlyte Yo!" look. We'll never know unless he hops on here and tells us?

[koeb$]

if he did a full jdm swap i hand him some more credit, but i still would not mind to hand him a loss or 2

[youngvr4]

you see your pic above it says integra, and has a honda sign in the middle. thats exactly how this one was, exactly.

[lamehonda]

Did you see what side of the car he was sitting on?

I don't believe that right hand drive type-r s were ever built. So if it was a type-r, someone spent alot of money either making it look convincing or converting a real type-r. Almost as much of a waste of money as importing a skyline.

[CassiesMan]

I dont think badges and a motorswap cost all that much? And in Japan, I don't believe they have Acura as a brand, its an American thing that Honda did in order to convince people that it was a seperate Luxery brand, and that in Japan, it is called a Honda Integra. I could be wrong, however.

[lamehonda]

I think that most of us knew that already. Many japanese manufacturers have premium brands in the states that don't exist anywhere else.
