i live in jersey, wher ei go to school there's like a virtual black market of type R engines and **** floating thru constantly. most are stolen from the NYC area and brought into jersey then sold. i can get a Type R engine and trans for $3200 with wiring harness and all.

Its still a honda and not worth putting money into...just my thought on honda cars..did anyone see the first ultimate street car challenge? they had a type R with a jackson s/c the ******* thing still only ran mid 14's...

 

dave ran a 14.5 on a completely stock type R.



i agree with the honda thing, i wouldn't buy one of these as they're overpriced for being just a honda, but im saying he did buy it, he does work on it, and surprisingly it's one of the rare hondas that i give minor props to.

HONDUH!!!

 

i'd second that!

 

guy i knew at college had a 97 GSR with Jackson supercharger...I believe at 7 maybe 8 psi...can't remember if he had slicks or not but his best time was 13.4. No weight removed, full leather interior...



Also knew a guy with a Miata and 7psi Jackson SC...ran a 13.9 on street tires first time to the track...got a 9psi belt shortly afterwards...dunno if he ran it after that...



teknics: I saw a Yellow Type R at a Parsippany Movie theater (by Rt 202) not too long ago...but maybe it was another one...



Cool that you got to take the car for a spin

 

probably someone elses, this kid doesnt taker it anywhere that he has to leave it by itself.



total type r integras are 3,000, i think the "phoenix yellow" ones are more rare the CYM FD's
