New to TypeR's

Post by BoostedBB6 »

Hey guys-

I come from accross the way, Im rockin my boosted 2001 Prelude pushing 350whp (soon to be built). Im building it up for high boost but in the meantime the racing bug as got me. I want to up my game in the SCCA and race in ITR (improved touring class R). I want race an Integra Type-R but I am unfamilar with the best way to approach building a race ready TypeR. Since most ITR owners keep their cars looking nearly new, its hard to come by anything cheap to start with. I need a type-R (98-01)
-What should I expect to pay for a shell? / anybody selling a shell?
-Anybody have experience with top notch suspension? Looking at the TEIN race coilovers (anybody use these?). (suggestions that aren't resivior related)
-Whats the key to making these TypeR's really go around the track? (open question, if you have input lets hear it!)
-What should I pay for a block and transmission? I dont care if they need work or dont wory at all. I need one so people spread the word. (its a B18 right? I see like B18c, B18b...etc etc)
-Whats the transmission code that comes on the 98-01 typeR? I know its like S80......something something to do with the final drive 4.4 and 4.7


If you guys have any advice let me know! Thanks so much!

-Karl
