The new Integra Type S made its debut at the motor show yesterday, replacing the Type R.
Power is now to 154Kw up 7Kw and also gets a new six-speed close ratio box and bigger/louder exhaust system for better sound. Also usual cosmetic changes to lights bumpers etc.
Thats all i know so far :)
Good and bad news i guess, no type r but a type s with more power!
Is this for real? Honda Aus are gonna sell this in showrooms? I'm gonna trade in my dc2!!!
well we've always had the type s here (badged type r) now we actually get it badged type s and also gain the 7kw due to usual power increases on a model updates along with cosmetic changes.
lol.... Type S is quicker than the Type R.. HA has done it again!!
Anybody wanna sell their stock TypeS (when you get it) wheels lemme know iight? hehe
i wonder how much they will sell these for???.. hmm.. what colour as well..
It is missing many of the things the present type r has and 7kw doesnt amount to much in a car that is likely to be heavier
i agree, bet it weighs more than the type r due to luxury items and some lightweight type r items...
current type-r = type-s
no it's notQuote:

our type R has LSD...new type S doesn't
7kw doesn't make up for the weight...
i mean current AUS type-r = US type-sQuote:

The new type s are too fat and heavy.
Rip out all the luxury sh*t, then it a different story.
pics?
wow 7kw at the flywheel is close to nothing haha.... no recaros n stuff either.... the aus type r is still different to US type s.... they arn't technically the same car with different badges.
your paying for luxury and u go and rip it all out. hahahQuote:

All cars are different =)
blah
can some rich bastard just buy a jdm dc5r, own it for a yr, and import it into aus so everyone'll just shut up...
or the rich bastard just get the ausdm dc5r and mod it into the jdm dc5r
i'd realli like to see that
if this is true, HA has do it again. This time doing more for type s and to the current typr r owners...it's like saying "OWNED"
...well all these type s and type r it just the badging difference, if its not missing this, it will be missing that but it will never be the JDM type r..
i say forget abt this type r or type s stuff, jsut buy a type s and badge it ur way and if you have that extra cash..strip the lux BS and put in the type r interior and anything from the type r and although 7kw is not alot but its still something, end of the day a type s can be a type r depending on how much you want it and now with a 7kw more :D
ultimately this just gonna be an endless A vs B disscussion of which is better. bottomline is to one with a big budget, nothing is expensive and to one with little or no budget, everything is expensive :rolleyes:
strip a luxury and pay how much for recaros???
The type s will be costing over 50+ just to get it resembling a type r
=P~~~
i agree :cool:
if i won the lottery, i'd grab a dc5 shell put a jdm k20 in it and build my own type r from the ground up!! :D
but some1 else said... u gotta be crazy
What luxury features does it have that the type R doesn't?
I dont know anything about the dc5s...
there are many people doing jdm conversions...such as brembo kit, lca, front sway...
and there are heaps that are hardcore modding their australian dc5r to to as fast as the jdm type r on the track...
for those that are doing this, they really don't care much about not having the jdm dc5r anyway
hey does anyone have any pics on the new type s and a spec sheet maybe?...i might be interested in getting one if its better then the dc2 and dc5
for pics and specs try thea cura website?
heres pics from previous threads

ummm... BRING BAK dc5r DAMN YOU! JDM or not, we need TYPE R!
crap-py
definately not worth the money u pay for.
Thanks for the pics nismohks... the car certainly looks blingy...
What do people think of that little rear spoiler?? I'm not a fan.
We don't need a Type R that isn't a 'real' Type R. At least a Type S is more honest (as would be VTi-R) and doesn't soften the Type R badge to all the enthusiasts out there.
Oh and the wheels are an enormous improvement... All it needs now are some healthy brembos, HIDs, recaros.... oh well.
why is everyone complaining how many other 4 cylinder non turbo cars have 154kw NONE!!!.
is that a spoiler? or some extra piece that honda forgot to remove?
lip spoiler mate.
thats a nice car=)
backlights look like a euro
if only the front did 2!
the cars nice but the spoiler is just strap metal,
we need jdm stuff....then no one would complain...
meh looks crap i own a current r which is commonly called a "S" by people on this forum that are one tracked minded thinking that we don’t come with a couple of things like the jdm immediately makes us a type s (reminder to them: “it’s Australia not Japan”) but aye im not slightly intimidated by the new up coming teg with a extra 7 kw, these fancy arse colours and comforts..
CJL save your breath...heh
By the way I saw this mature lady with the no. plates CTOR driving the DC5 with the C2R kit on Princess Highway with some nice 18"s...respect! hehe can't believe she paid $40+K for that
any interior pics?? Whens an all new (not just facelifted) integra coming out??
it depends if the JDM release in AU and the price tag $60K+ and ppl will still complaint . . . or maybe not . . . what do u guys think ?Quote:

Whats interesting is that in the description, it says it has new 17inch wheels but in the Specs its only got 16s. I think its 17s cause they do look bigger.
i reckon, the lil rear spoiler buldge looks crazy as well as the whole back end
not a huge fan of the interior :(
This is crap, so there are no Type-R selling in Honda anymore? I hate the look of the new Type-S and ugly interiors
So what the new Type-S don't provide compare to the Type-R?
I dun get it what so ugly about the facelifted interior, it's the same as the pre - facelifted version with a new look dash and HU being the major changes inside.
no recaros now :(Quote:

If you get the new Type-S and when you meet some guy who drove a Type-R, what do you feel?
Are you going to call your car ugly because you don't have recaros either? :pQuote:

At least i'm grateful we even got the Type R.
not really.. the seats were designed by recaro AFAIK :pQuote:

the interior's actully not bad..
i kinda like it..
but yeah....HA shouldnt turn itself into Acura
you guys really need REALIZE! $30-40K for a Type-R detuned is friggin cheap even if its 60K for the import its also cheap (if you're earning the $ over here)...from where i come from there is no local integra whatsoever and to import one JDM one in is like 200K...so stop bitchin already!
Well it seems the new Type-S seats don't look any different to the old one, then I guess they are also designed by Recaro :pQuote:

I think people should be weighing up features that actually matter in the car.... and in all aspects besides maybe looking a bit more agressive, they have improved with the Type S
