'01 Type-R

StreetStang37 · 01-31-2001, 11:17 PM

I didn't race a Integra Type R or anything. Just posting cuz my friends mom is buying him (spoiled CRAZY!) a 2001 Integra Type-R. Its signed off and everything, it'll be picked up on Saturday. HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO DRIVE A STICK!! Im supposed to teach him. He's only 16 and his other car got stolen. He had a '97 V6 Accord and got rims lowered and like $5K suspension and $8K stereo among other things when HE WAS 15!! Didn't even have his license! The Insurance valued the car and all his stuff at like $37K but he got (his mom actually) rammed and only got $19K.

The thing Im excited about is he is leaving to go on a snowboarding vacation on SUNDAY and is leaving the car with ME!! He wants me to break in the engine for him, so he told me to drive it as much as possible (I know, no revving to high or speeding) so it would be ready when he gets back. I'll make sure of that! Nice job huh. Sorry it was so long!

You're going to be dissappointed with it, and while driving constantly saying "wheres my torque". You'll miss your Mustang and constantly compare the two cars.

I drove an S2000 awhile back, and was dissapointed to say the least.

Over all they're good cars, but they don't call them "Hype Rs" for nothin'.

Wow!! Does this kid's mother want to adopt a 30 yr old??? I could use a ITR as the daily driver.

StreetStang37 · 02-01-2001, 01:33 AM

If I get tired of it, Ill just drive my car. My other friends (all with slow cars) are all jealous of me cuz his mom trusts me with it and not them

Aaaaa...Hell! Screw the friendship thing and go ring that baby out at the track!!

Let's see what all of this "R" crap is about!! Just remember that you will need to rev that little 4 cylinder to about 8500 to get the "power" (and I use that term lightly) out of it.

Now go race it and report back to us with ETs and MPHs! My guess is a 15.1 @ 90 mph.

StreetStang37 · 02-01-2001, 11:39 AM

The Ford dealership talked his mom out of a GT or a Cobra, they wanted to sell him a six banger so they just went to honda. I really tried to talk him in to getting a V8 of either a Z28 or GT or Cobra but he got that. Honest!

I would have to question the intelligence of this dealership.

You act like a Type-R is a terrible car....like a Escort or Focus or some other POS. It will run a high 14 quarter which is good enough to surprise some stock 5.0's and it handles better than a Mustang.

inferno, not bad cars, just not really quick. You know this as well as the rest of us.

I know that they aren't as fast as the 99 and up GT's, but they can hang with GT's from 98 down stock vs stock. I just think some people on this board give them less credit than they deserve.

Rev · 02-04-2001, 08:25 PM

So 15.0 flat/92 or so? Or what?

Rev

inferno · 02-04-2001, 08:37 PM

A Type-R will run in the high 14's and 94ish.

Rev · 02-04-2001, 08:45 PM

That's a 4 banger Integra, right? Not bad.
