Integra Type-R Discussion - Discuss general ITR information, technical information (including requests for technical/mechanical help/assistance), modifications, tuning, etc.
Answer to second most asked question:
"Yes, it's a real Type R. Count the lug nuts."
Things I have done least in my Type R:
Had a hotty strip nekkid, recline her seat and "check my oil" while I'm doing 80 on the freeway in the city and with no tint film on the windows, kiddies!
Only once, but one can still see "grip marks" on the steering wheel.
Things I have done most:
Clean crap off those "Chumpionship White" wheels.
"No, it's not a real type r i just repainted my RS CW, put a b18c5 in it, full suspension and 5 lug nut conversion with wheels, wing, seats and Type R Armrest Tag with a Fake Key."
That or ive heard guys behind me in the street scream:
"LET ME HEAR THE VTEC!!!!"

I can understand the "Is that a real Type R?" question to you CW, FBP and NBP guys since those not in the know won't really notice a difference... but why do I get that damn question every single effing time I go to the strip or the track with my PY ITR??
"Hold on, wait your right, it is fake. I wanted my car to look like the most stolen thing on earth, and do it all in lower NY with no drive way to keep it in. But there's no fooling you, thats why you drive a Ford Anal Probe."
"What'll it do in the quarter?"
"You need some kool (375lb., 18in. chrome with 395x15x18's) rims on that."
"You gettin nitrious on that?" - a noob with NOs stickers and blue LED washer nozzles on his moms'... KIA.
You got a woman with your R? Damn, that's a first. I haven't met a girl that was impressed with it, and after a ride they're even less pleased: "IT'S TOO LOUD!"
She was into hot cars. Had two of her own, a custom show 'vette and daily driver Cobra. She also did alot of the work on them herself. I thought her Cobra was too LOUD!
how about this on:
Kid stops if front of my house:
he says: nice car
me: thanks
kid: do they still mske those
me: no, 01 was the last year. They make RSX's now
kid: those are ugly
me they're ok
kid: do you think if you called the manufacture, they'd make ya one?
me: i doubt it
kid: you should out a turbo on that thing
me: thanks for the advice
he wasn't a ricer, just not too bright

But unfortunately, it almost never happens Most girls that are into the whole "import tuner" thing are just groupies w/ their bf's or are just insterested in the crowd as opposed to true enthusiasts.
While washing the R:
Blond Cali-looking Z3 2.3 neighbor dude: "Is that a real Type-R?"
Me: "Yea." (Thinking, no, duh, I just spend $5k on a yellow paint job and did a 5-lug conversion.)
Just after opening the garage door:
6-7 year old neighbor kids walking by: "Wow, a CRX!" (My old '90 CRX si) "A Type-R too! That guy has good tast in cars!"
When a friend comes by the first time to pick me up in his 12 sec. @ 5800 ft. WRX, who I've already told I have an R in addition to my WRX: "Is that a real Type-R?" (Guess they don't believe it until they see it, and they still don't believe it...)
My friends and I go down to a parts shop with a group from greenville, nc. There are 3 of us driving 2000 black Type R's. As soon as we stop. I guy comes up and asks "Are those real?".
I understand people driving fake type R's but three together..
Yo I got asked the stupidest question ever this pass weekend in Dallas at HIN...this cat was like
"hey guy you got the motor in that thing to?" I was like "what you mean is the motor built?" He was like "huh?" I was like "what do you mean", he was like "did you do the motor swap of the S15 or just the front end" I was like "ooooooooh yea I did motor and all dude"
"But unfortunately, it almost never happens Most girls that are into the whole "import tuner" thing are just groupies w/ their bf's or are just insterested in the crowd as opposed to true enthusiasts."
But when they really do know their shit it makes them really special!
The world MOST stupid question (after: is that a real Type R) is: "Is that you boyfriends car?" Yeah wanna race?
. Dunno why, that just works reeeeeaaaallly well.
