dc2 vti-r and dc2r interior differences.

[vampzzz]

hey guys, tried searching but couldn't find anything.

what are the differences between a dc2r and a 98 vti-r?

besides rear seat, recaros, steering wheel, carpet, floor mats and carbon fibre inserts?

also is the vti-r interior black?

thanks for the help guys.

- Central arm rest between the 2 front seats is non existant in Type Rs.
- Cluster is different
- Shift boot
- Gear knob
- Passenger sun visor does not have vanity mirror in the Type R
- Door trims have a darker fabric in the Type R versus the DC2.

You've pretty much named all the differences.

Type R cluster is different
Type R has no sound deadening (to save weight)
Type R has struts as standard

That's about it.

[vampzzz]

how about the interior colour for the 98-01 vti-r? is it black?

[Chi]

The interior has type R badging.

I left this out of my prior list as i wasnt sure...

But i think that its dark grey... not black.

[geeang]

Sorry should have made that clearer, I meant Strutbars cause he was talking interior and theres the rear Strut bar + boot strut bar (+ front strut bar).

Also... 480mL more of VTEC.

I wasn't sure so I asked but I thought the 93-97 vti-r gsi's had grey interior as the 98-01 models had black interior. just wanted to make sure.

[squish85]

Mine is a 94.. it has black interior..

[G-Stick]

all the interior plastics are the same colour, the type r doesnt have the reading light at the front compared to the vtir/ gsi

93-97
gsi's have a light grey seats and door trims
vtir have darker grey seats and door trims

98-99
vtir have dark and strange pattern trims

ive got all 3 at my place tony ;)

[G-Stick]

the climate control unit is different compared to the 93-97 to the type R different patterns i think

[Q_ball]

^ I dont think theyre diff....are they?

The lighting on the centre console/dash is orange on the type r's whereas on the gsi/vtir its an off green color.

[G-Stick]

not the lighting, the print where the temp is, nothing big but its diff i think, cbs checking lol

[90LAN]

type r's didnt come standard with ac
it was a option
and a thinner windscreen

[geeang]

AUDM DC2R's came standard with AC, AC was optional only on JDM DC2R's.

your dreaming right it was a 2k option

^ Not really an "interior" difference... lets move on fellas.

yes it is as non ac controls are diff to the ac controls in looks

Ok, well either way, the integras air con was an optional extra up until 95...
From 96 onwards, it became a standard.
Because all AUDM type r's are 98+, this meant that all AUDM dc2rs have air-con as a standard feature.

Theres a couple ppl on here that work for Honda so perhaps they can shed some light on the matter.

Afaik, only the early model type r's had "optional" air con - all late models were standard.my dc2r had its A/C dealer fitted, not factory fitted.

Its also a March 01' build date.

[Bludger]

yes it is as non ac controls are diff to the ac controls in looksI don't think the controls would be different.

just the A/C button will be non functional.

[rbk_212]

vti-r's have a black interior, its actually called "Type-D Black"

Thanks for clearing that up Lan... learn something new everyday :)

[T-onedc2]

I've discovered a/c was a dealer fitted option on all DC integra models, guess it made the starting price more attractive as it was already more expensive than the competition.

97 onwards DC2 VTi-R had dark blue seats. In my opinion, the original black ones were nicer.

I have actually seen a audm dc2r WITHOUT a/c. It has a dummy button where the a/c button should be
