'01 Type-R
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! ------------------ 1993 Mustang GT - March Ram Air, K & N filter charger, Pullies, Super Competition Hooker Headers, 2 1/2 in. mendrel bent cat back, High Flow H-Pipe, Pro 5.0 Power Tower |

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'. |

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.

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!

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.

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.
