[tinkerbell]

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)

C'monn,it's a common assumption by type r owners that secretly everyone either want's one or wishes their integra was one.

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.

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.

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

Why are u advising him for a VTIR for a straight line weapon when he could get a turbo car LOL. Stats say you's most likely to crash at least once within ur 3 years on P plates. Through out life time you will crash at least 3 times. So they say.

oh really now? waiting for my 3rd (and hopefully last!) crash then.. only just got on green Ps a month ago ahahah :P

if this were accurate, I'll go and have 3 accidents in 1 week, get them out of the way.

hahahaha

but in general, i do agree with him.

epic bump too.
