surprised no one caught this yet... good read, click picture/link to view article



1998 Acura Integra Type R vs. 2010 Honda Civic Si

 

More than a decade later and it's still kickin' some ass!!! Wish I have one......

 

Same i'd kill for one.

 

^^lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

i would be scared to drive it anywhere...

 

^^true dat....I had an LS and i was paranoid parking it anywhere since my GS was stolen.

ITR are awesome cars and i hope i can own 1 one day.

 

That Type R is so well kept for being 12 years old.

 

^^^ It should as it was virtually garage kept at some Acura training facility and has never been registered for road use until the time that article was made.

 

Beautiful car. That's my all-time favorite Honda. And I totally agree with the author with respect to the increasing isolation from the driving experience that our most modern vehicles create. I for one wish the whole "fly-by-wire" go pedal was never invented!

Or maybe they could attach a cable to the pedal that..... nah, that's crazy! :)

 

good find. there are cars that are kinda neat, and then there are cars that you'd swear had a soul. long live the ITR.

 

Good find indeed.

Honda seems to be lost these days...almost every one of their sporty cars is gone. All that remain are the FD2 Civic Type R and FN2 Civic Type R EURO. I'd hate to think that they've done a Toyota and excised all trace of driver excitement from their cars.

 

i think a fair comparison would be the ek body civic SI and the current gen civic SI coupe, the differences between a type R and an SI is the same as hamburger and fillet mignon. at the very least, dc2 itr vs da9 itr and ek9 ctr vs fa5 ctr.. great read though

 

I see a yellow ITR around my gym from time to time. It's beat to hell though and dirty. No love :(

 

Yea i would love one as a show car. But it would probaly get stolen

 

I wonder if the guy in the second to the last pic knows he`s putting the tire on backwards?

 

Even though I don't own a Type R, I'm still proud to be an owner of a DC2.
