Why Only Geniuses Appreciate the Integra Type R



Thanks to Acura for sponsoring this episode!

The Integra Type R is one of the best FWD cars to come out of the 90s. From its high-revving B18 engine to its seam-welded chassis, the Type R is one of the most beloved JDM cars of all time. But only recently has it been getting the true attention it deserves. We’ll show you why this legendary car was overlooked for nearly two decades, and why only geniuses realize the true potential of the Integra Type R!

  1. Back in "the day" I owned a 98 GSR then a phoenix yellow 2001 ITR exactly like the one in this video. Amazing cars. Fun, reliable, more than capable of surprising people.

  2. I'm not a car person, but I come from a family of car people, mechanics, racers, and what not. When I was a teen I was gifted one of these cars. I hated driving it due to how difficult it was to shift gears and ended up crashing it when I was 19. Upon seeing this video I'm now only beginning to realize what I had.

    One of my childhood memories is my grandmother teaching my sister how to drive in the '96 Integra Type R when she was 12. She kept peeling out all over the place and then started crying. She gave up learning how to drive for a few years until I explained to her she could have started from a full stop in second gear and it would have been much easier.

    Back when I owned the car I stalled the engine at a stop light. I got embarrassed by it ("What will everyone think!?") so I tried to quickly get the car started which only involved me peeling out all over the place and then immediately stalled the car out again. Some middle aged lady rolled up to me and wagged her finger disapprovingly. I assume she thought I did it on purpose. I hated that car! XD

  3. The best thing about these cars is that base model Integra really isn't super far from a Type r. They're not 5 figure cars, and you can pick up a B18C engine and trans for far less…

    Suspension and brakes can be moved over with much ease(And within budget). If its an RS even better. None of the things that make the car bloat with all the potential.

    I don't say that to make the type r sound less than what it is, but to show what an amazingly configured chassis the third gen integra is.

  4. Had a '98 for a couple of years. Never to be seen again. Never found a trace. Amazing machine. Wonder if it still exists in some form somewhere on earth. 😂 At least they left the unit body of my GS-R in the Bronx. Got closure.

  5. Hmmmm..I thought type Rs don’t have a rear window wiper? Also some type Rs don’t have a radio either..AND why does it not have the type R steering wheel ??Is it possible we are looking at a Clone here?

  6. less than 5000 miles on a 20 year old car… this thing was basically left in the driveway most of the time because it's averaging 250 miles a year. since this video came out in 2020. less than 0.70 miles a day.
