Forenza vs acura intergra type R

suzukirallyready · 03-19-2008, 01:37 AM

Okay so driving around town looking for trouble when I hear a loud buzzing noise I find the source of it a acura integra type R so I was like screw it caught up to him and got a red light side by side so cool when that happens,

So I beep the horn to try and ask him what hes got done but he wont even look over, light turns green I punch it and get about four cars in front of him (hes not even trying ) right when I tap my brakes and start to slow down he punches it, so I get back on it and we were even right down the road for about 1/2 a mile then like a dumbass in the midst of all the fun I bounce off red line

he only got a half car ahead of me and I was back with him.. all in all fun times.. my new cold air intake is helping allot. but later down the road Im guna go ahead and get the BMS intake, I just didnt want to becuuse its pretty pricey for intake (i did mine for 80 bucks) It looks a bit rough but it works (no leaks or anything)....

Either this guy was playing with you, or didn't know how to race or something, because the Integra should have beaten you.

And yes the BMS CAI does cost a lot for a CAI, but we also don't own civics either.

Really and you were there? I know he had to be toying with me, I think the type r is about 195 hp? somewhere around there but then again its tourque is not that impressive its maximum torque output of only 130 ft·lbf at 7000 rpm And he def wasnt takin it out.

Haha don't know where you got that from. There were LHD Integra Type-Rs sold in the US and Canada, a bit rare now but they're still around. At around 190hp, a flat out race with both cars in good condition and both good drivers, he should have walked past you without much trouble. Maybe he just sucked at driving, congrats haha.

I agree 100 percent on that either he sucked at driving/was messing with me/or it wasnt in good running condition but ya it was fun.

your refering to the dc2. called a type-r in america but not actually a true type-r it had a diferent motor. the japan type-r motor wouldnt even run correctly on us gas as its made to run on i think 102 and we only have 97. i believe the top end of the motor is different also the cams, springs and everything else. the throttle body is different i believe the jdm one is a little bigger. also the intake manifold is smooth inside as oposed to the us version wich had ridges in it. a nice replacement is the intake manifold from the jdm b16a wich was the engine found in the civic and crx sir as it was also smooth inside. also the japan made type-r has the tradmark red sparco racing seats, carpet, door card inserts and it wears the red honda badge only found on the type-r not to mention the steering wheel is different and also has a red h bagde on it and red stiching also found on the shift bood and e brake boot. i think the steering wheel shift and ebrake boot also came with yellow stiching. it produced i think 5 or so more horsepower. people in the us all wanted to get there hands on the jdm b18c (it had a red valve cover) for a boost in power and the stronger internals. hm long enough just some examples of the differences. oh the dc2 was also the only car sold under the type r badge in america accept it was sold as an acura.
