‘We never got recaros we just got whack LS seats’ I laughed too hard at this part. You know the struggle

[@grimchuckles9484]

Interesting trivia. The seats are sprung softer to compensate for stiffer ride

[@TBills3000]

It sucks for true JDM lovers like you and I because the US always gets a dumb down version of imports.

[@MITONFILMS]

+TBills 3000 our government ruins all the cars........so we gotta wait 25 years to import the proper one.......25 years😒😒😒😒😒😒

[@halorita]

If you look at it the other way though, lots of Japanese convert there build to look usdm

[@Iamsandivo]

That's so true

[@fattahruzuar7851]

Except for the S2000. You got the best

[@MrKiet76]

instead of wanting what they got. Let's make them want what we got! Accept what we have and embrace it! But the Japanese models do looks way better lol

[@gtgodbear6320]

I like the jdm front end better than Accura

[@twrcrew8852]

You are misinformed. The "four eye" front end is ALSO a JDM bumper. The first Integras of this body style ALL came with the four eye bumper. What you are looking at is a Japan-only facelift that happened mid cycle. It is not a case of "this is the JDM front for all integras of this generation". The new design didn't fit crash standards due to shaving the length a few mms too short in front therefore not fitting the mandatory steel crash bar underneath which is about 1/3 larger than the JDM one.

[@resdyne9590]

Any mod kit that let's you change the interga type r to have the headlights of it?

[@trifeali9178]

[@yannickwever7846]

@@twrcrew8852Only non type-r integras in japan came with the "four eye" front end. All jdm type-r's 95-up came with the "facelift" front end. It did not happen mid cycle.

[@MITONFILMS]

Only '93-'94 3rd generation Integra's had this.

[@robmiester]

Type R Integra is my favorite car of all time.

[@suhailtamatane]

Got a couple things wrong, the picture you showed of the USDM ITR is the same as EK9 wheels which is 5x114.3 not 5x100, and the red 98 spec you showed is the UKDM/AUDM/NZDM one which is 15 inch version of the 98 spec 16 inch wheel. So technically 4 sets of wheels for the ITR :D

[@MITONFILMS]

+SuhailDC2R lol whoops. Didnt know there was a 15" version🤔

[@suhailtamatane]

Miton Films learn something new everyday! But their just the 15 inch version of the JDM 16 inch ones basically

[@touringteg]

Yes please make the corrections. You could also comment that the wheels were available in Kaiser Grey or Championship white depending on the color of the car.

[@madjimms]

What about dealer option wheels?....

[@davidb.301]

Yep, I'm always glad to see an ITR video, but the info for these caRs is out there. I feel like the Miton Films could have done a way better video with more research. If someone used this video to get their information it would be very insufficient.

[@Deon2]

Here in the uk we have honda the Integra type r but with the circle front headlights, the uk version also has the red recaro seats

[@corwininadsm]

That weight is probably without fluids (Oil, coolant, gas) which is how things are often weighed overseas

[@ampedex]

CorwinINaDSM had mine weighed with full interior and full tank with no driver it weighed 1120kgs or 2469lbs

[@FreestylerAlbert]

Sad you forgot to mention Europe. because we got also the recaro seats etc.. all the interior stuff, more like the JDM car, just lower compression so 192le. The MOMO steering is the same as in the ferrari 550 maranello.

[@natlikethebug9522]

Wait till the sellers on Craigslist see this. Aparently jdm is made in usa lol

[@dln.sweeney]

No 3rd gen Integra was made in the US. All the Acura models were built in Suzuka Japan and shipped over.

[@MITONFILMS]

TRUTH!

[@matthewhetes9965]

I know right, theres always teenagers in there USDM 240's saying "I have a jdm car duhhhh"

[@f2991speed]

3:22 correct me if I’m wrong, but 97 spec Type R’s share the same wheels as the EK9 of which the bolt pattern would be 5x114 not 5x100.

[@roochiecooch]

You're correct he got the lug pattern wrong. The CTR had 15's in 5x114.3 that were the same as the US Spec ITR 15's that are also 5x114.3. They are exactly the same wheel only one comes with Acura center caps and the other with Honda center caps. I was going to correct him too, but then I saw your comment. I don't think Honda uses 5x100 on any of their 5 lug cars, at least not in the US. Toyota on the other hand uses 5x100 on the FRS, corolla iM, corolla sedan, prius, matrix, and the Scion (Toyota) tC's, and Subaru uses 5x100 also on the WRX, n/a impreza, and forester.

[@MrGrentch]

I've long been fascinated how many small differences there were for such a niche car. Thanks for adding to the knowledge. While the JDM R's could come with ABS, A/C, Airbags, they were all option deletes. Ditto for the radio, third brake light, clock, even the rear parcel tray(rear wiper was never an option). Japanese buyers had the most options when ordering. I've even seen two original JDM r's with the smaller Gsr wing from new(it was more expensive than the taller R wing. And lighter). The weights given for the model were based on all those options removed. And that was dry weight too. So that probably explains a lot of the stated weight difference. Though the Recaros are heavier than the USDM seats(my 98 spec JDM had all the deletes except for the A/C). Of the wheels the European market 15's were the lightest(I've a set of Ek9(US/Can), EDM 15's and JDM 16's. Cos I'm mad :D) Colours like you note were at various times; white, yellow, black and red, with special edition yellow for Switzerland and Australia, silver was a JDM only option. Interior differences included the seats and Momo steering wheel on non NA cars. Centre console for NA market only. Same with the cool trunk carpet. Canada got a small run of red back seats too. NA rear seats were different anyway with the plastic tray in the middle. Alloy "racing" pedals were an option in Japan, standard in the 99- Rx model, an option in Europe. Dunno if the rear strut bar was an option in NA? It wasn't in Europe. It wasn't a standard fitment in JDM, but a dealer option. Same with wind deflectors. A roof box and bicycle rack were also available. The runout JDM only Type R-x came with the fake carbon trim in a bluish colour, Gathers six speaker radio, clock, alarm(also in the Euro models), keyless entry and fully loaded with all the options(no delete available), tinted rear windows, power folding mirrors, balanced half shafts and a slightly different engine map. It was the heaviest of the R'sand the only JDM model to ever come with a numbered console badge. Rear lights varied across the years and markets. US getting red indicators and an extra bulb at the side, Europe getting pale indicators and Japan getting orange(oddly in "my" Irish market we got the JDM orange for some reason. Crazy because if they sold 20 R's here I'd be shocked). Nice info on the different pistons in the engines M. Didn't know that. Apparently another reason for that was Japan has 100 octane fuel, whereas Honda felt US petrol/gas was lower, or customers might chose lower octane, so lowered the compression slightly. The JDM 98 spec Vtec engaged 100 RPM later. The exhaust manifold was different in the JDM 98 spec on. Catalytic converter was smaller too. Rear roll/sway bar was bigger. Spring and damper rates were different as well. The Australian version came with golden coloured brake callipers for some reason. I have a few copies of a JDM Honda dealer options sheet with prices, so if you want one M let me know. I can fire one off in the post. Noticed the white Irish county Donegal 98 spec. I may know that very car. :)

Unpopular opinion: I think the USDM looks way better. The JDM looks like a 4th gen prelude.

Its funny because the usdm from end was originally going to be the jdm front end for the type r but was used instead when they came to the US

Don’t know about u guys but I love both fronts regardless can u do a 90-91 Vs 92-93 Integra’s differences

[@rambro88]

Nice video. JDM uses kph on their speedometers so I was wondering if you were trying to compare mph to kph when looking at how quick each one is. In reality they look very close if the second one is kph. 100 kph = 60 mph

[@myousickoflife]

ye seriously what a dummy lol

[@dustinfoltz4769]

62mph

[@bobbybandz9194]

JDM DC2s had lighter glass no crash bars in the door and select aluminum parts.Also US spec ITRs do have Recaro SRDs just with a headrest.Some ITRs also had factory 4-1 headers.

[@sea_serpant393]

@Miton FIlms Hey all, this is a very late comment but i was wondering because the US market got nerfed DC2's which are different from the JDM versions, did the Australian Market also get a nerfed version or did we get the same car as the JDM version

Got a like just because of the intro Type R rare video.

Compare rsx type s and dc5 please

They are all DC5's from 02-06, look at the Veh vin and you will see DC5.

[@jonathangonzalez8763]

I think he means Dc5 RSX Type S and Dc5 Integra Type R

[@_Zekken]

I own a JDM '97 ITR. (96 spec) The weight differences are because they deleted EVERYTHING. Mine doesn't even have a rear wiper. However it does have ABS and aircon, which Im pretty sure were options for it though. Center console, nope. Dont have one. No storage there, its just the handbrake. Dash is different, USDM one has standard red needles. Mine are yellow and the font for the writing is a bit different I think. No airbags at all. Steering wheel is different as well, the USDM version got a much thicker and uglier one IMO. Seats as you mentioned are different. Mine are the black Recaro SR3s and they are the comfiest car seats I have ever sat in. Engine is different as you mentioned, the USDM is the B18C5, mine is the B18C (usually referred to as the B18CR because it doesn't have a different number from the regular B18C found in the non type R JDM models iirc) VTEC activation is 5800RPM, redline is 8400 and limiter is 8900. I found the prime shift RPM to be 8600 for max acceleration. (You can drop out of vtec for a split second if you're not careful when shifting at 8400) S80 gearbox with the LSD, gear ratios on this gearbox are perfectly alligned to match with this engine alone, if you shift at the red line in any gear you will end up exactly at 5800-6000rpm in the next gear which gives you optimal power at all times. However it does mean its really short ratios so at 100kph(60mph) im doing 3500rpm cruising down the motorway. Otherwise obvious front end/wheels etc.

[@whodidyoudirty3323]

96 itr is also 4x114 lug pattern

[@davidb.301]

Both '98 spec USDM and JDM ITR's had the same bolt patterns 5x114.3.

[@tanichiro]

PS is metric horse power.. KW is engineering power output

[@delirium1326]

I usually love JDM but the circular headlights on the US version are iconic

[@sl33per1]

Missing quite a bit of info The 97/98 usdm r didn't have the carbon interior, but the 00/01 did. The jdm type-rx had a blue tinted carbon look interior trim None of the itr wheels were 5x100 engine power could be different due to emissions/ecu Jdm itr deleted ac, radio, clock, keyless entry/power locks, passenger side airbag, hatch wiper assembly, dimmer

[@DabDabGoose]

a big reason for the weight difference is the 96 spec didn't have airbags, you showed a picture or two of the interior, no steering wheel airbag and no passenger dash airbag.

[@dannysipos]

Yo is this Cypress In vancouver??

[@power_of_r6033]

jdm ITR 98+ spec also had the spark plug cover in faux carbon ( easy way to quickly id it as a 98+ spec engine). As well as 4-1 headers while the usdm ITR kept the same headers through all the years. The jdm engine has the VTEC letters elarged on the valve cover while the USDM has DOHC enlarged.

[@kingmonkey88]

UK spec had twin headlights, Recaro seats, Momo steering wheel, carbon style trim, Titanium gear knob, numbered plaque and 16 wheels. Colour options available where Championship White, Milano Red, and Black.

[@gilfigueiredo5721]

That clip of the red interior tho

[@elliot438bcfcVTEC]

My DC2 Type R was UK spec and I got it weighed at 890kg, no interior, plastic windows etc. Skunk2 cams and full bolt ons was awesome

[@digipeeper]

The Type-R is a rare and endangered auto entity that was in the U.S. for a hot minute and not enough was made or imported to the U.S. The JDM ediyion had the head lights so similar to the mid 90s Accord. I do prefer the U.S. pair light edition that gives it a unique identity. When I was younger, I thought these cars where over rated but now I think these cars are beautiful and would like to own 3 of them especially a 2000 Yellow Type-R!

[@Shinny1338]

Way late on this, but a part of that 300lb difference is the safety requirements of the US. The JDM cars could get away with a more fragile chassis.

[@touringteg]

Yep front and rear bumpers supports are way lighter. Door crash bars are non existent on JDM versions.

Just a heads up....Best Motoring Video goes over a lot of the JDM Type R specs!

[@ampedex]

One cool Thing you missed man, the the jdm engine comes as the b18c and b18cr, the b18c came in the sir-g and the B18cr came in the type r, and along with that the rev limit for the B18cr was 8900 rpm and the b18c5 was 8500 rpm with fuel cut stopping you. Oh and what was the name of the song in the outro, good video still

[@iAceF5]

Whats the name to the background music?

[@Mugenkidd82]

96-97 4x114 ...98 5x114 the CTR had the same brake set up

[@danleonhart1]

I hear Acura may bring back the RSX. Not sure if Honda will do the same for the Integra

[@MITONFILMS]

+danleonhart1 i heard the same as well. Not too excited for it since it will be a v6 turbo☹

[@jaj.three.twenty3517]

Great video!

[@kennethmunoz1448]

Jdm doesn’t have door bars which are required in US cars that adds weight

[@danlatu209]

Radiator support is different on the jdm itr than the usdm if you were to do a conversion.

[@thatsabanana]

My ITR is currently 2250lbs with all interior trim added back, but it's very basic with no AC, heater core, PS, ABS, or CD player with additional lightweight 15's. It's not uncommon to see much lighter once composite materials replace things like the hatch/hood/doors and gutted interiors. There's always a way to get lighter, but generally it just gets more expensive to a certain point.

[@MITONFILMS]

Guess Work Racing your itr is lighter than your civic??

[@jakenothanks307]

Guess Work Racing I really want a teg but I've already got an ej1 and a b16a swapped ej8

[@thatsabanana]

With aero added the Civic is about the same, but that's also including a motor that weighs about 100lbs more than a B series. Civic is at 2250lbs as well, but with street class rules there isn't much more to take out of the car.

[@jakenothanks307]

I commented to the wrong person sorry

[@southsidepat]

Usdm ITR's all had 5x114 bolt pattern

[@southsidepat]

Steve Vento nope, only the JDM 96-97 spec were 4x114

[@elliot438bcfcVTEC]

B18c6 was UK engine it was exactly the same other than exhaust manifold and ECU and that counted for a 10bhp loss making 187bhp

[@Kyring]

Americans must have smaller horses so their numbers are bumped. Acura B18C5 = 0.6:1 less compression, Less aggressive cams, same crapy exhaust manifold the UK got, same longer Cat, even worse ECU map as their fuel has even less octane yet they still claim 195hp........?

I think you were saying the B18 c vs B18 c-5 the B18-c was the US gsr engine. And the C-5 was itr. Unless I'm wrong, I didn't know the jdm type R was listed as the same as the US GSR engine?

[@MITONFILMS]

B18C1= US GSR B18C5= TYPE R B18C= JDM GSR B18C= JDM TYPE R You cant tell the difference by the code for the jdm engines. (I.e) K20A H22A B18B Etc.
