An Acura Integra Type R is a rare find!
1.) They do not make it anymore.
2.) They only made a limited # of them in the world.
3.) No other 4 cylinder car that can top it.
4.) You get 10HP+ per 1/10 of a liter. (197 = 1.8L)
5.) Bottom line: Where power & performance = brilance!
I have a GS-R and the only car better than mine in its class is a Type R...

the B18C5(type R integra motor) aluminum block is the best tuner engine out there to this day, it is the 350ci to the import world meaning it can have just about the most done to it. it is stock 195 hp raps out to 8500 rpm and the transmission that it is hooked to reaches 42 mph in 1st gear alone and about 86 mph in 2nd, meaning it does o-60 in no time flat plus some. throw a header/exhaust/intake on it and bam!, extra 25 horse easy. now if you do the same exhaust/header/intake to a D15B7(1993 honda civic DX hatchback) it will gain maybe if you are lucky, 9 horse. just the B18C5 block alone(no crank/rods/pistons)runs $2,300.ºº. I used to have a b18 block, but no C5, it was a c1 and it was VERY quick. trust me if you are looking to build a bad *** honda the B18C5 is exactly where to start.

there is a limited amount of these cars made and shipped to the US. its really easy to modify because it comes with alot already so you dont have to spend much unless you wanna. its hard to find one now so when you get your hands on one dont let it go cause you might not get another. trust me cause i got two 2001 Acura Integra Type R yellow and black (people made offers but im not selling and got 250 miles on one of them.)

'cause R stands for Responsive. Just try to take it over 130 mph. You'll see.

they can be easily and cheaply (relatively) modified for street racing compared to american cars.
