here are some websites that attempt to detail the modifications:

(NB - some of the modifiations listed in the websites above were also part of the 98+ VTiR's "facelift" such as the aero refinements)

Assumtion for sure, I personally wanted sound deadening and elected not to desecrate a Type R by adding my own. That was the only thing to sway my decision. It's also a common assumption that all Type R owners can drive.:p

I think bottom line, if you're going to mod the engine & internals, then get a vtir, the type-r has some awesome engine internals, valves/springs/pistons/rods/balanced & hand assembled.
If you get a vtir the upgrade of these parts is more significant. as opposed to buying a type r, and trying to find better internals, not a cheap mod.
other deciding factors, do you drive for the performance or the luxury, first thing i noticed about the R is its noisy, because it has no sound deadening. not the nicest car to do traveling in.

i just found a great writeup on the differences hope its not a repost

WOW guys awesome thread iv just finished reading all post , im after a vtir as i want a car stable n wif a bit of grunt , my only thing id do to it as it would be my 1st car in 8 months when i buy it, id lower it, thinking of getting either black or yellow colour not sure yet , some rims would do nice.

Im not to fusy but as from reading this thread seems like vtir is my go, id use the car to drive mostly around on the weekend n to work which is 2 mins away. also love 2 put a system in it.

Im not a rev head at all. As i have a full license and im veery safe on the road, so iv been looking at prices on the honda vtir and iv seen them around for 9grand but i havent searched fully yet.

thx agian

Yellow VTi-R's don't exist.

Type R Ftw!!!!

if go to track, i will take type R,
if on street i prefer vti-r, you will more enjoyable.
