yeah mate,
type r integra's were produced in '99 for the australian market.

Besides JDM Type R being ummm... a little faster - the front is totally different to the AUS spec. It has flat lights and well the whole front is different - looks a little like the previous generation Teggs - better IMO. I'm sure someone in here has a pic of it they can post up. And yeh AUS stopped production of DC2 VTi-R and made way for the DC2R in 1999.

ok, so there is no other cosmetics difference between the JDM and AUS dc2r beside the front end, right?
what about rear end, tail lights, interior, gauges, etc? are they all exactly the same?

then any difference between the 99, 2000, and 2001 aus dc2r ?

i'd like to know this, coz i m in the market for dc2r soon after i sell my car.

thx ppl.

Yes there are quite a few differences cosmetically
starting from the inside ..
-JDM has a clock cover in the place of a clock
-JDM steering wheel is not as fat as the audm coutnerpart
-JDM dash (as per usual JDM cars) has cluser that goes to 180km/hr

exterior wise
-AUDM has rear wiper, JDM does not
- AUDM ITR rear lights have clear indicators, JDM's indicators are amber like the audm vtir and gsi tegs

there is also difference between 96 spec and 98 spec JDM ITRs
- 98 spec has HID headlights ...
- 98 spec has 5 lugs 96 has 4 lugs
- 98 has abs, 96 does not ..

im yet to confirm this ..
but i think the 96 spec jdm's and the pre 98 audm integras in general ..
have a rounded side miror as opposed to the AUDM ITR and JDM 98 spec side mirrors which have a "horizontal gash along them " the same as the EK series civic ..

thats all i can think of
i think its all right

jdm 98 also got bigger brakes than the 96's.

I don't know of any changes through the line of AUS DC2R's. The DC2's had their changes in late '97 ie) dual airbags, change in lights and the whole the front section had a makeover compared to what it was from '93 to early '97. So I think the ITR's were the same all the way through until AUS DC5R's came out.

Could be wrong though - there are ppl in here who r in the know about this more than I am.

I'm pretty sure this is correct.

Another thing with the 2001 DC2R is that black cars got red recaros, and yellow cars got yellow recaros, white and red as per normal. One thing I am yet to find out is whether the 2001 DC2R got the CTR intake cam.
