Worth waiting for a type r? or just go for a vtir?

[manrag]

Hey, i get my p's in 2 months from now and iv been looking for type r's but havent found any in my price range im spending 13k max and maybe 14k, do you guys think its worth waiting till my p's and wait and see if any type r's come? like have you guys seen any pop up for that price in the past and stuff? or should i just go for a vti-r and buy one now? what do you guys think?

[KC.]

vti-r's go hard and aren't too far behind type r's imo, you will have a lot of money to spend on mods if you go with a VTI-R plus sunroof and shit is cool!

also CAN YOU STOP MAKING SO MANY THREADS WITH BASICALLY THE SAME TOPIC?!?!?!?!?! or do you keep losing your thread in the emense number of threads in the integra section

don't rush into buying your car, i did that because i was a bit too eager but it didn't turn out too bad, I was just lucky.

[manrag]

yeh sorry keeo losing my threads lol, do you know what the time is 0-100 for the vtir? and does the vtec kick in just like a type r or is the type r's vtec slot mor powerful and stuff.

[EGB]

vtir is a pos compared to a type r.

close thread.

[chauster]

there are thousands of thread about this. please search.

also. where are you? cause theres lots of dc2r in melb going for 14ish

[manrag]

im in Sydeny, NSW

[chauster]

you cant even drive now.

i just dont see why you cant spend a month or 2 carless after you get your Ps?

[WATAJK]

he going to lose his license anyway.
HE's talking about 0-100 timjes.
Obviously wants a fast car for the street, another soon to be Type R hoon sigh

[levi R]

go get a commo if u want to be a street light warrior dude. 14k will leave u plenty of cash to get some sweet chromies too

[1900-hustler]

if you got the 14k like you say you do.. get the type R

[THEEYA]

go get a commo if u want to be a street light warrior dude. 14k will leave u plenty of cash to get some sweet chromies too

This, cause it looks like you will end losing your license anyway.

[quangsuke]

be patient, never rush into buying a car, even if u find one for 13k u dont know whats wrong with it and could end up in a sticky situation.

i say wait it out, everyone on this forum are acting like they were the safest drivers when they got their license....you only learn from experience

saying that, drive safely....

p.s. who buys a buys a honda for low range revs anyway?

[levi R]

who buys hondas for 1-100 times. fixed

[MWAKU]

vti-r's go hard and aren't too far behind type r's imo, you will have a lot of money to spend on mods if you go with a VTI-R plus sunroof and shit is cool!

you obviously know nothing. there are type Rs that have sunroof too. and the vtir is WAY behind the type R. the type R is a world of difference compared to the vtir. OP just buy mine lol i knw u msged me but yeh :)

[act_gooner]

^^Lolz leviR.

14k will get you a mad commo, then all you need are some 19 inch chromies at the front and stockies at the back!

In all seriousness, if you have 14k you might as well get a type R, but don't rush into buying, take your time and find the best deal in your range.

[DC2-PWR]

you obviously know nothing. there are type Rs that have sunroof too. and the vtir is WAY behind the type R. the type R is a world of difference compared to the vtir. OP just buy mine lol i knw u msged me but yeh :)

True,

but with decent money on quality parts like i/h/e will leave dc2rs for dead. I have a vtir, would love a dc2r.

problem with vtir is that it will cost more in the long run, preformance parts, suspension, interior just to make it look like an itr, and all other small bits. All becauase the stock items are granny spec.

to OP go for dc2r, budget is perfect, wait around till you get your p's.

[MWAKU]

lol decent money on quality parts on a vtir. if u have the decent money just get a type R to start off with. no matter how much u poor into a vtir it will never be a type R. it will never drive like a type R. people have to own a type R to understand that its not something u can replicate with parts.

[NightKids]

OP just got his Ps, so I suggest getting a crappy N14 Nissan Pulsar and stack that before getting a Type R! lol

[DC2-PWR]

No!

If I were OP, I'd honestly buy a new Sportivo Corrolla over a ITR. These days, you want reliability + preformance. ITR, VTiR dont have them anymore. They're getting old.

[tmy]

This is a great post.

Simply because a DC2R and a New Sportivo are totally in the same price range.

oh yeah forgot about that hahaha,

DC2R for the win

[MRK20CRX]

dude just get an eg breeze for 3k, save your money til you're 21, then buy a r33 gtr v spec

[dougie_504]

Wait as long as you need to and get a good car. ITR is a great option and would be a sweet first car, just be super careful...

[xenonkuraz]

dude just get an eg breeze for 3k, save your money til you're 21, then buy a r33 gtr v spec

Yeah. You say you want a Type-R as your first car but damn you're gonna get bored of it quick. I went through 7 cars in my first 3 years of driving to understand and realise what kind of cars I enjoyed.

Be realistic and get something cheap and reliable, cos chances are being a newbie driver you're gonna scratch it and or smash it so might as well funk up an old car. A couple years down the track when you're off your p's get anything you want, and chances are you won't want a DC2R anymore.

[davidvtec]

if you got 14k, dont even think about vti-r.

[Super-DA9]

vtir is a pos compared to a type r.
This made me sad and depressed :(


lol decent money on quality parts on a vtir. if u have the decent money just get a type R to start off with. no matter how much u poor into a vtir it will never be a type R. it will never drive like a type R. people have to own a type R to understand that its not something u can replicate with parts.
This made me wanna drive off a cliff lol. also made me start to think I am a poor ass. :(


True,

but with decent money on quality parts like i/h/e will leave dc2rs for dead.
This made me feel better. :)


But I guess everyone has their own opinion.

However I agree strongly with the majority of the people here OP, don't spend 14K on your first car, trust me, it WILL get scratched, it WILL get dented, and you WILL make mistakes in it. it's the only way to learn.

I started off with a little DA9, was an awesome fun car for my first one, but i broke the lip on it, got dents, scratches, and wore the motor out quite a bit with heavy foot driving. it's because of all that though that I understand how to drive, take care of, and maintain my current DC2.

good luck and enjoy your P's!

Perfect post for someone who is buying their first car.

[Indie]

0-100 times, haha. Go get yourself that 'street weapon' Type R, kid. Just try not to wrap it around a tree. Have fun paying the insurance, too.

But hey, I just drive a GSi, and a lovely daily it is. Get a good condition Vti-r, and wait a few years before you buy a track car.

who said anything about a track car?
dc2r are awesome on the street.

screw the vti-r because u dont get

recaros
itr rear seats
itr steering wheel
itr front and rear sway
itr 5 lug brakes
itr suspension
b18c =D


ITR FTW
so if u buy that vti-r, eventually you are going to want these extra parts and in the end u are going to be coughing out the same amount.

LOLOL too true mate. too true.

OP just got his Ps, so I suggest getting a crappy N14 Nissan Pulsar and stack that before getting a Type R! lolTHIS! Honestly, this.

I stacked an N13 Pulsar. Rolled the ****ing thing going down a mountain. Hit a patch of water, slid into an embankment and flipped it clean over. In the slowest **** of a car I've ever driven.

It was a great first car, it really was. In hindsight, though, I would have bought an EG Civic hatch. Such a great little car. He should buy an EG for a few grand, so he can keep safe and keep saving for at least another year.

EDIT: Also, to the above bloke: The ITR is a street-legal track car. Its performance far exceeds what is necessary, useful or safe on public roads, and can only be truly appreciated on the track.

And to you my friend.
A person who asks about 0-100 times IMO is seeking a fast P Plate legal car.
That is just asking for trouble tbh.
I really can't be f*cked with anymore idiot drivers on the road especially when there Honda's considering we don't get targetted by the popo as much...
I give the kid 2 months to keep his license once he gets it.

[mugen_ctr]

unless this kids got another 2-6k for full comp, dont even think of type-r, cause thats how much he b paying, an excess will b 1k or more... so really, narrow the budget should be closer to 10-12k

honestly, kids these days are spoiled, buying cars at that price range for there first is quite a decent amount! i wished i had that amount of dough to splurge on a first car :(

[DC2-PWR]

Your forgetting,

ITR 4.7 LSD (shorter gear ratios)
Bigger piston
Bigger brakes
Stronger chasis
and now i give up

lol

type r's are nice but please don't think it's a super fast car, and those who think type r's are so much faster than a vtir teg are dreaming! they pull about 4-5 car lengths max and the dc2 will still keep up. don't think your dc2r's are king, so typical of a dc2r owner lol.

[MWAKU]

^ so typical of someone who hasn't owned one. thinks he knows everything and can make assumptions........

you'd think that people would understand by now by, no matter how many car lengths... its faster. seriously have u seen a vtir on the track, compared to a stock dc2r stock times? so please shut up you don't know shit. this faster that faster, the dc2r isn't even made for straight line. the dc2r will eat a stock vtir stock vs stock around a track any day, if both drivers are equally skilled

so please, if u haven't owned a type R, don't put ur 2c in, you don't know shit. at the end of the day dc2r > dc2 vtir. no matter what way u think about it. no matter how big or how small the margin is.

and the dc2r is the ****ing king LOL :)

and its been said before, if u have 14k, go get a type R. get what u want and dont look back, forget what these guys say.. looking back now i would have been spewing if i settled for a vtir. i dont even want to sell mine anymore. its not like u have 14k and u will never earn anymore money, get a job or do what uve been doing to get that 14k, and u will be able to cover insurance. just put it in ur parents name, ill tell you now im paying less then 1.5k for full comp

[MikeyG]

how long have you owned your type r for mwaku?? just asking

Worst advice ever for someone who's young and just got their Ps.

My advice is buy a $5000 EG or Pulsar SSS. Chuck the rest of the $9000 in an online interest earning account. Drive for 1-2 years till OP has better driving experience and then think about getting a Type R. Who df wants to pay anywhere close to 1.5K for insurance a year anyway, especially for a 18yr old Uni student/part time work.

If the OP is filthy rich that has funding from rich parents then please disregard the above statement...
