Here are some more information for Civic Integra Type:
Deep in the Japanese mountains lies a test track that blatantly plagiarises the famed Nurburgring circuit in Germany. This is Honda's playground and they're not afraid of the comparisons. Japanese car makers have always taken the best bits of European cars and improved it themselves, so why not do the same with racing circuits?
The Takasu test track measures 6.2km, offers more than 40 turns, including a dozen blind corners as it climbs and skews through the forest, one bit where all four wheels leave the tarmac if you're quick enough and a number of tricky cambers. If any car that can average 95mph and lap it in close to three minutes it's a bit special. The latest Honda Integra Type R does all of this. Better look out for a used one then.
Why shouldn't you buy new? Well, to put it simply, it's because you can't. Therefore it's time for a word of caution before we all get carried away. The latest Integra is very special indeed, however it's a bit too close in performance terms to the newest Civic Type R we have in the UK. As a result, Honda won't be importing it to our shores. To buy one it'll have to be a used example. This in itself isn't a problem as Honda are renowned for their reliability and build quality. You will however need to go through an importer to get your hands on one direct from Japan - a country that fortunately drives on the correct side of the road like us.
It's worth the hassle though, starting with the styling. The new Integra is a much chunkier model that the one built until 2001. Sleek headlights balanced perfectly with a revised grill give the car a purposeful look. The car sits on larger 17 inch alloy wheels (16 inch on the predecessor) with red Brembo brake callipers peering through the spokes, giving the car a cool look whilst enforcing that it'll stop dead too.
The roof line is actually higher than the old model too, with the car's stylist Hideaki Uchino quoted as saying the overall look is designed with the American market in mind. According to Uchino, previous sporty Hondas have been too "thin" so they've followed the lead of BMW and Audi's latest offerings. Surely not another case of the Japanese taking 'inspiration' from Europe? In this case we'll let Honda off, after all Uchino used to work for Ferrari stylists Pininfarina and helped design the 360 Modena. More than enough to have on your CV I'm sure you'd agree.
Recaro racing seats happily do remain, meaning that you'll remain gripped tightly no matter what corners lie ahead. The 1.8 litre engine has gone - upgraded to a smoother 2 litre i-VTEC. There's also some clever engineering meaning the intake cam timing is continuously variable. What this means in normal words is that emissions are reduced and power goes up. They're a clever lot aren't they?
As a result, power climbs 30bhp to 217bhp and the legendary i-VTEC will rev once more to 8,400rpm. The greatest joy of driving a VTEC still remains - this time at 6,000rpm. Once the counter hits this magical figure, the high-lift cams kicks in and you rampage towards the horizon accompanied by one of life's best soundtracks. A short shift six-speed gearbox makes sure you can get the most from all the revs too.
Honda also claims huge improvements in the structural rigidity of the body shell and when you combine this with stiffened suspension, it gives the new Integra a very different feel. Rear grip is phenomenal, with the car refusing to let go unless you really overdo it, but you'd have to be an idiot to be heading into a corner that fast anyway.
The larger wheels do more than just give the car a facelift, they really help with the handling too. Combining all these factors together, the latest car feels significantly faster (especially through the corners) even though the raw data suggests minimal speed advances - mainly as the car is 72kg heavier overall due to the larger engine.
When you do need to stop, never fear as the brakes, much like the wheels don't just look the part, they play it too. Again Honda talks in technical speak about 300mm vented discs, fade-resistant brake pads and duel cooling ducts. Just concern yourself with the fact that this car stops very quickly and doesn't get tired of doing so.
Finally in case you forgot what car you were in, 'Type R' badges adorn every available space - the seats, steering wheel, aluminum pedals, gear lever and so on. Honda needn't have bothered. Once you've driven the Used Honda Integra Type R, you'll never forget.

Honda to Unleash Mugen Type Rr in Japan
Japan is set to receive a special edition of the Civic sedan, the Mugen Type RR, which will have a retail sticker price of $39,000. Come September this year, Japanese car enthusiasts will be able to get their hands on the hottest Civic Type R yet – those who are quick and moneyed enough at least – for only a very limited 300 units will be available.
The beast, designed to be the ultimate front-engined/front-wheel-drive performance car gets 240 horsepower, a sport suspension and brakes, lowered ride height and Recaro seats.
But the heart of the Type RR is Honda's magnificent DOHC 2.0-liter i-VTEC four-cylinder. Mated to a six-speed manual gearbox, the engine delivers the whopping 240 horsepower and 161 pound-feet of torque.
The Type RR sits on Bridgestone Potenza RE070 performance tires (225/40R18 all around) and weighs a mere 2,734 pounds. Honda- maker of top of the line parts like Honda control arm - has also upgraded the vehicle’s dual exhaust system and revised its air intake. The Mugen Type RR will come in Milan Red finish.
Honda’s Type R models are special performance editions of their respective model families, with the design of Type R ("R" for "Racing") models originally focused on race conditions, emphasizing on minimizing weight, and maximizing performance potential (e.g. engine tuning, suspension set-up, etc).
Type R vehicles traditionally have a red Honda badge and Championship White paint as an option to relate to their first F1 winning car. Honda's racing and F1 cars often feature a red Honda badge.
The first Honda car to carry the nameplate was the NSX-R, a stripped-out version of Honda's NSX supercar. More affordable Type Rs followed, including the Integra Type R which debuted in the U.S. in 1997.
The Civic Type R has never been sold in the United States (including its latest model). In Europe, the Civic Type R is an alternative to age-old favorites, such as the VW Golf GTI.
Each Type R model is bound by a common philosophy — to deliver a raw, edgy, race-derived driving experience. A high-revving, normally aspirated engine is a must, as was a quick-fire gearbox. The original Civic Type R delivered all of these things, but its harsh ride and poor refinement made long journeys extremely difficult. Today’s models however, now offer a greater breadth of ability, whole maintaining the Type R philosophy.
Honda had earlier released the new Civic Type R in Japan March this year.

2000 honda civic si or 2000 acura integra type-r?
i have a 2000 honda civic si ( had it about 4years, still drives like new), anyways, i just test drove a 2001 integra type-r about a week ago, and i have to say it was better than sex. I know the redline says 8400 rpm, but that car goes all the way to 8900rpm, as compared to mine that probably stops at 8200rpm. Unlike my Si, which screams vtech but doesnt move (torqueless), the type r carries the driver all the way past the redline, it is like there is torque at every rpm. All these time, i thought my car was quick. What makes this type-r faster than my car apart from handling. My Si is all stock except for the tein complete suspension which makes my si handle better than the type-r. Do i have to buy a whole new engine for the car, bcos i do not have 4000 dollars to spend on another engine, when the one i have can very well go another 100,000 miles or more. Can i get some advice.
NOTE: i dont like turbos.
OK, guy who posted above me is an idiot.
CR-VTEC engines are garbage and doing an H23 block with a H22 head is going to result in too much work/problems.
Here is the real deal. I am also an owner of a 2000 Civic Si Coupe and I have also had my car for about 4 years too. Mine is not so stock though. I have modified it quite extensively to be an excellent street car. We also have something else in common...a dislike for turbo kits. That is exactly why I invested in a ProCharger intercooled/supercharger kit for my 00 Civic Si.
On top of all the bolt-on mods and the cams in my B16, the ProCharger kit is absolutely phenomenal. Plus, it isn't going to kill your engine and you will retain its daily driver-ness. If your looking to keep your Civic Si, which I think you should, but you want more get-up...start looking around at supercharger kits. Superchargers are the king of drive-ability and offer superior low-end power.
(By the way the 00 Civic Si redline is 7900rpm, just for future reference)
