As an American whose early driving life was in Hondas, (83 Civic S among others) I appreciate the quality of these cars. I was stoked to find an 06 type S here in town and we got it for my son. He loves it! We call it the Honda. Cause that’s what it is. But when I tell others about it, it’s an Acura. Cause most other folks ( non petrol heads) don’t understand. I was today years old to learn this car is an Integra in other markets. Anyway, I would like to rebadge it because my family knows the company history. And that Honda racing goes way back. It would have nothing to do with JDM for me.

I know it's a 3 years old thread, but people do rebadge their RSX because Acura came up with that stupid name. They didn't changed the name Integra on the first and second gen, but some stupid reasons, they called the third gen Integra as RSX. Now, Acura bring back the name Integra in 2024. They know RSX is a silly name and no Honda fanboy like it...

I'm somewhat surprised at your comments regarding the Type R. I have the 1999 Integra Type R with DC2 motor and have owned it since new (23 years). It is the best car I've ever owned - from a new1971 XY GT Falcon to a Mitsubishi Cordia turbo (a really shit car) - it leaves them all for dead! I'm about to clock 320,000Kms and have never touched the motor, except of course for 2 timing belts, 3 distributors and a couple of clutches - less than $10,000 over 23 years!The car seems to perform better every day and even though it's not as quick as most turbo cars, it still retains a lot more character. This car is a masterpiece in the era of naturally aspirated engines. In the many dozens of KZbin clips of this car, you are the first to criticise it. The comfort and performance is perfect, so I can't agree with your comments. Furthermore, this car is now skyrocketing in price, but I simply can't part with it - it has given me great pleasure for 23 years and probably many more years to come!

I have bought parts from dealers and scrap yards over there. Also some of this information is opinionated. If you don't like the seats or suspension, thats fine. But I would advise not telling people that dailying an ITR will make them hate it. That's just not true. You just don't like it... and that's okay as well. And I love those Recaros.

The first lot of facelift cars were built in late 2004 in Japan, so some of the facelift imports we get here are 04's. I said in the video production began in 2001 so not sure what the issue there is. The DC5 was not sold as a UKDM car in Europe, the cars you're seeing at scrap yards are JDM imports. The video was only speaking to places where it was sold new. Finally, I owned a Type R and found the seats deeply uncomfortable to the point where it gave me lower back problems.

Where is it wrong, you said production started in 01, I said that, you said the facelift came out in 05, when it plainly didn't (at least in Japan), you said I didn't mention that the non JDM Type R's didn't have brembo's, when I plainly did, you said the DC5 has to have been sold new in Europe because some aftermarket parts stores sell parts for it, when it plainly wasn't. I cannot fathom how my video is wrong. You're just triggered because I said not to buy a DC5 Type R as a daily. That is an opinion based on experience, not a fact and if you disagree that is fine. But I am allowed to say what I want about a car. Go ahead and put in the effort and make your own video that is "correct" rather than making petty comments demonstrating your incompetence to the world.

I think more importantly type r had lsd and type s didn’t. Which is probably the biggest difference
