HOW TO DRIVE FAST IN RAIN - INTEGRA TYPE R ON THE LIMIT

In this episode John steals Monky's Mums car and sends it to the moon! Is this one of the best factory cars ever made? We reckon so, and something you will never see again from Honda, sad times. Monky also discusses the differences between the USA domestic market RSX Type S and the Japanese domestic market Integra Type R, despite looking similar a lot of changes were made. The DC2 and DC5 were amazing cars for the time, high rev limit, VTEC, pin point handling, factory LSD and subtle looks. Maybe not the fastest car in the world but with top drivers they are a force to be reckoned with. John stretches the Integra's legs in this episode to the max, thanks Mum for letting him drive it. Hope you guys emjoy the video, make sure to comment, like and sub to keep fresh content coming. Peace ML

FULL TIME ATTACK IN MY MUM'S CAR (DANGEROUS CONDITIONS)
#TYPER #HONDA #K20
Integra Info:
Just four years ago, you could pick up a good Honda Integra Type R DC2 for around £4500.
Then, your money bought a 1997 R-reg car with 100,000 miles and three previous owners. In standard, rust-free condition, with a full Honda service history including the vital cambelt change at 60,000 miles, and a thorough undersealing in 2011, it’d have made a great buy for someone.
Spring forward to today and, assuming the service history has been kept up, the temptation to modify it has been resisted, rust has been kept at bay and it has put on only around 10,000 miles, the same car could be worth about £8500. Not a bad return but to be expected when a car is this good and this sought after.
The Integra Type R arrived in UK showrooms in 1997. Actually, most were forward sold on the back of glowing reviews in Japan, where it had been on sale since 1995, so few ever saw the polished glass and potted palms. Those first owners raved about the handling of the front-wheel-drive car, an experience that turned the old front-versus rear-drive debate on its heels.
Geekier types purred about its additional spot welds and thicker sheet metal, thicker anti-roll bars, aluminium strut braces, slimmer and lighter windscreen, lightened wheels and minimal sound deadening, all of it true to Honda’s Type R ethos.
Images of white-coated Honda engineers painstakingly assembling the car’s variable-cam 1.8-litre engine, with its polished ports, featherlight conrods, beefier pistons, bespoke inlet valves and enlarged throttle body, swirled around their heads. If anyone doubted their sanity, 187bhp at 8000rpm, equivalent to 104bhp per litre, shut them up.
Because it’s a VTEC engine, it all happens north of 6500rpm, so choose your gear (there are five), give the accelerator a hefty prod and let the fun begin, confident that, thanks to a torque-sensitive helical limited-slip differential, the steering wheel won’t snap your wrists.
Being a purist’s car, the Integra Type R features few fripperies. Even air-con was optional. Instead, only those things that heightened the experience were permitted, such as figure-hugging Recaros (with holes for the seatbelt harness), a chin spoiler and a rear wing. Red badging signalled its racing DNA while the first UK cars were available only in Championship White in honour of Honda’s first grand prix-winning car (Mexico 1965, if you’re interested).
The youngest Integra Type Rs are 17 years old now (the model went off sale in 2001, although mechanically identical Japanese domestic market, or JDM, grey imports built from 1996 to 1998 continued to arrive).
Although the engines have proved to be tough and reliable, you should expect to see some body corrosion on sills and wheel arches.

Don't tell mum John took the car 👀 Remember guys drive safe out there👍 Hope you enjoy it peace, ML

[@shire_boy1]

Yeah tell people to drive safe while you drive like a complete cock in the rain because that makes sense... 🤔

[@The_MostHigh]

That CarVertical ad sounds like it says 'As used by DonkeyLondon' @1:12 😂

[@monkylondon]

​@@The_MostHighit does bro 😂❤

[@sim6699]

Lets be honest, its the young lads who are likely to crash. I'm sure all us older guys have known a handful of guys who died in car crashes mostly due to a lack of experience and ability.

[@Teamrocketmember7777]

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜👍🏻

[@ironingbored]

Wow Monky, I've noticed you've started talking about measured-behaviour on the road when giving it some beans. Really cool mate, it's great to see you doing this. Obviously John does his thing too, but advocating taking time, not always hooning, being aware of change in road surfaces and where you are doing it. Quality.

[@petertarski3007]

Nice insight to the Integra Type R, you certainly know how to drive, and get the most out of this motor. Top vid, some technical John action 😃

[@leongiles3496]

New fan ... me and my kid love your channel... also think it is really sweet that you fixed such an epic machine for your Mum - love from Sweden

[@monkylondon]

Hi to you both glad to have you aboard ❤️

[@johnhilton8838]

"Donkey London" 😂

[@jamesowen418]

Them Rainsports hanging on for dear life with John at the Wheel 😂. Using Accelera 651Sport myself, think I'd have been off the road trying to keep with John😅

[@J4NOObs]

7:13 Fax from John he clearly knows what he is doing

[@AngryBulldogGaming]

The car must be so stable and grippy to be able to drive on wet roads like that 😮

[@monkylondon]

Out the box incredible, then Rain Sport 5's great in wet as well. Dry not bad but come alive in the slippy stuff, great tread pattern

[@Rowey_13]

No he is a fuck legend 🤙🏻

[@philroberts1761]

Fantastic video this mate, it's good to see these cars getting the love they deserve. The dc2 left massive shoes to fill. I love'd my dc2 but when I had to part with a car I sold the 2 and kept my 5. Ask mum if you can take it on track, you'll love it 😁

[@Mk6_McCabe]

John really is a quality driver 👏 👌

[@monkylondon]

Deffo be great to do some proper circuit one day see how good our man really is. Thanks for watching

[@stevenstoj9445]

Epic as ever, the sound minds me of my mates dc2 he had back in the day 😊 Favourite Honda has 2b civic ek9 type r or integra dc2 hard to pick both impressive machines

[@PatrickSwayzeOnDbol]

you are the only subscription I have that promotes road safety, I like it. Also, didn't you get another Honda at the same time as this one? Went to someone (who I won't name) if I remember correctly?

[@joe_rd1]

Stock dc5 is so fucking good my favourite out the box honda. Proper all rounder, drive to work in the week trackday the weekend

[@subarubrat]

Top stuff, Mr Monky.👍Favourite Honda? Has to be an FD2 CTR.👍😎👌

[@SapphireSamC]

My 308 Gti is running Michelin Cup 2’s and they aren’t as bad in the wet as everybody shouts about! I proper rate them as was massively impressed with them in a recent trip to Monaco (from uk) 👌👌👍

[@jameswoodman1477]

John might be in Mummy Londons bad books 😂 full send no matter the conditions!

[@monkylondon]

Nah she still loves me 👀💀

[@starfox_wr-45e93]

@@monkylondon You sure? I saw an 'up for adoption' ad in my local paper with your face on it 🤣🤣

[@mikewright84]

Favourite Honda of all time has to be an EF or EG hatch in a Kanjo Racer style with a slight livery, window net, white tyre writing and a screaming B16!

[@monkylondon]

Yeah love an EG too, Kanjo ftw love watching those mad Japanese guys

[@krsslim]

Awareness is important when sending it on public roads, knowing the right time & place.

[@davidweekes4374]

When your own mum owns a honda integra or any jap/jdm car, you know you got such a cool mum. My mum a horse and carriage type of woman 😆

[@aminyamisses6013]

Yeah mum just done that test drive you asked me to do and there’s a horrendous knocking coming from the CV joints and top mounts.. Now🤣🤣

[@JoeMaranophotography]

Rainsports are essential in wet weather 🫡

[@maimunrahman9635]

Rainsport 5s are wicked tyres! Got them on my MR2 Roadster and tbh it's quite hard to unstick, given how predictable the chassis is anyway. Not pushed them hard in the wet yet but I have no doubt they'll come useful when needed 😎

[@boostaholic7116]

You might think John's a MAD MAN 🤣🤣🤣

[@alexwinter6720]

My integra badge fell off to be fair, Had a guy flag me down shouting and pointing it was hanging on by the thinnest thread of glue so I got lucky and saved it!

[@monkylondon]

Ah maybe it wasn't nicked then lol, tbf I probably jet washed it off

[@blz47]

Great vid as always monky ! Any German sausages due on the channel soon?

[@Tb-mm6po]

proper driver.

[@AetherHarmonics]

Good to clear the injectors n all that 🤣

[@monkylondon]

Deffo needs VTEC get that oil circulating. Old dear always says it feels more "alive" afterwards 🎉😂

[@sidewayssam]

They are amazing cars and great review

[@sidathwijeratne7168]

9K for a clean DC5 from an importer is a decent come up… probs worth at least 13-14k now

[@monkylondon]

Fair man deffo gone up then. Although technically needs 4k worth of paint so it's about the same 😂

[@sidbobby3233]

Wise worde bruv about when & where to have a little go. Love these Dc5. Ur Ma is a car conorsur. Love the vids mate need more 😎😎✌✌👌👌👍👍

[@ashleyrobertson9059]

Just put some nankang ultra sport ns-2 on the 6j-15 I put on my 2001 works corsa, as the 1j pram wheels it had didn't give a lot of grip. By works, I mean the 1000cc beast I drive to work every day. Highly tuned 3pot, 1hp per CC, of course 😉 favourite Honda's the eg coupé, I do have pre facelift ek coupé, although I am struggling with a no start problem, lockdown was not kind to my old whip! 😢

[@rcon777]

Dont replace these headlights get them sanded down and clearcoat them

[@monkylondon]

Rekon we can restore? Did try polishing but sanding will take a layer off so see what you mean

[@rcon777]

@MonkyLondon yeah ive fixed worse before on my mums crv lol, sand them down properly like wet 400 grid all the way to 2500 and few coats of clear it will be mint. Then you can polish them little bit week later for that perfect finish 👌👌
