Integra Type R question?????

gozsus

How the going people. just thinking about trading up to an integra type R from a vti civic and was just wandering about a few things. Is there any major differences between the 4 and 5 stud models, or 96-97 models cause i is getting about 6K of a difference for the 96 one.
Cheers people.
thanks

There are lots of differences which prompted me to buy a 99 JDM Integra Type R. For example after 98 the JDM model has revised suspension and geometry, bigger brakes, 16" as opposed to 15" wheels, final drive in the gearbox was changed, HID (Xenon) lights etc. As it happens I'm seeling mine now as I need a diesel for my commute from Carlow. If you want any further info give us a shout.

What Lethal Dose said. The 98 spec on has the much better spec and definitely feels different. It's more stable around corners and the brakes are better. Torque is up too and has much less of a flat spot. Better fuel consumption as well(I must be getting old). They came in more colours too. As well as the white, red, and black, yellow and silver was added to the mix(the latter being the rarest colour of all).

I've driven a fair few of the type and one thing I would suggest is to try and test drive as many as you can. They can vary quite a bit even in standard form. The actual spec can vary a bit too. Some have no ABS, airbags or even high level brake light in rear window(like my one, suspect originally bought as a track car as price difference when new was minimal, sometimes dearer for the special order). The ABS version would be better as a daily driver IMHO as brakes are powerful and can lock up v easily. Rare ones even have a rear wiper as an option(v rare) Steer clear from too many non standard oily bits, unless you have someone you know with a lot of knowledge.(wrong forum for that last line, I'll be banned for being too standard and boring )
