Why Only Geniuses Appreciate the Integra Type R

Thanks to Acura for sponsoring this episode!

The Integra Type R is one of the best FWD cars to come out of the 90s. From its high-revving B18 engine to its seam-welded chassis, the Type R is one of the most beloved JDM cars of all time. But only recently has it been getting the true attention it deserves. We’ll show you why this legendary car was overlooked for nearly two decades, and why only geniuses realize the true potential of the Integra Type R!

What does the R stand for in Type R? 🤔

This episode hits home cause my buddy had a buddy who died recently that LOVED and LIVED Type-R and had a right hand drive Type-R and worked at a Honda mechanic shop.
RIP Type-R Chris.

It's 1.8L 4 cylinders making 195 hp, now imagine this in the 90's lots of N/A V6 making 190-250 hp. That's how powerful the B18C was.

Thanks for a great review. Just a couple of little points you didn't mention about this car; it has a LSD - something quite rare for that era. The windscreen was also made thinner, to reduce weight. I have the same car - white and with the full body kit, production number 0101. I bought it in 2000 and have clocked 298, 000Kms. (Having a big party when I hit 300, 000Kms) I have NEVER touched the motor, though I often rev it well past 9, 000rpm. In those 20 years I have paid out very little, except for basic stuff such as 2 clutches and 2 distributors and a couple of minor repairs. I replaced the original disc pads after 225, 000Kms, as I just use my gears. It's hard to explain, but every time I hop into the seat, I get a feeling of excitement and anticipation. Many new cars can beat my Type R in a straight line, but few can beat me when it comes to being the quickest from A to B. I've got the money saved up to buy a new hot hatch, but I can't break away from this love affair and now, at 71 years of age, it's quite possible that me and my type R will be buried together.

10:24 Me when I see an Integra Type R...

If you lived through this era it was completely sought after and not overlooked in the slightest

[someyoungguyjohnson]

After seeing a duo of buzzing RealTime Type R's open a can of whoop ass on a roster of Viper's and 911's etc on a rainy Vancouver street course in the late 90's I vowed right then and there to get one for myself. Finally in 2007 I purchased one and I am NEVER selling it.

"this thing has a pretty good amount of space in it, considering it's a 'luxury vehicle' " did hon- acura make him say that???

The Integra Type R is one of the best cars ever made and certainly the best FWD car ever made
