Being a Porsche man through and through, the only cars that interest me other than Porka's are Honda's FWD hatches DC2, DC5, EK9, EP3, FN2 and the S2000.. Such amazing engines.
@@touringteg I have a modded FN2 now and can't buy anything at the moment due to financial reasons.Would love either from the list mentioned by James. Or the 987 Cayman S facelift. What do you think?
@@golf1diesel I just picked up a DC2R today, but I can't let go of my 987.2 S. Both are great cars. My 987 with PASM is much more refined and has a dual character (very comfortable cruiser, but also competent and engaging). The ITR feels much faster even when it is actually going slower, so is more enjoyable on the street. It feels more like a race car, with its lack of sound deadening and slightly stiffer suspension. I haven't driven it much on the highway, but on the short stretch, I don't think it'll make a comfortable cruiser (4000 RPM + roadnoise) Both cars have great shifters, but the Cayman is happy in any gear, and the Integra will give you reasons to shift more. Maybe I'll give an update after owning the ITR for a few more months.
I remember a review at the time saying “every journey becomes a last gasp qualifying attempt”. I had one and indeed it was, a trip to the shops turned you into Ayrton Senna trying to get pole in Monaco. It never became tiresome. It’s not just the revving either, the car has such good feel and balance when you slide it a bit. A car you can really drive at 9+ths
The most fun you can have at the speed limit. What more would you want? That's what I don't understand about the latest batch of hypercars - they smash the national speed limit in 2nd gear. We don't all live near autobahns, so where can you use them to their full potential legally except on the racetrack? You can thrash the Integra Type R every day of the week, and still keep your licence.
Yes. Its perfect for the Landstrasse (b-road?). Even on the Autobahn you can annoy some modern "sports cars" and that is ridiculous considering its a ~20 years old 1.8 or 2.0 litre n/a engine
It would be awesome if the prestigious manufacturers got together and built high end street cars with short gearing. Think Alfa 4C. Keep the vehicles under 300hp with a weight between 2000 - 2800lbs depending on luxuries. Imagine AMG GTR architecture on a BRZ sized vehicle and 350z horsepower :/
I currently own a 2000 Honda Integra Type Rx in the New Forrest, the boot problem you have with the flimsy carpet is because you're missing a fordable piece of wood that lays below the carpet protecting the spare wheel are providing support. As you said the fuel tank will take around £50 to fill with premium depending where you fill up, I recently drove the car to the south of Wales and the car was perfectly comfortable for the journey.
people love to hate Hondas. just cant see why. they don't know how incredible they can perform when properly made. its beautiful how can extract such joy at such low speeds. you feel like youre going in to orbit, yet you look down and youre barely hitting 40 mph lol. like he says, its the sound, the engines personality.. it feels right. sometimes its not about the numbers, the best 0-60 or quarter mile time. sometimes its about doing what feels right
Honda at that time just made very simple, incredible intuitive, driving focused cars, still have to drive a car that from the minute you start driving it gives you the confidence as any type r (ep3 or itr dc2) gives you to absolutly trash the bollocks out of them. Good steering, tremendous gear change, fair brakes, all light but organically communicative, sound out of this world, traction enough to give you confidence but not too much to stop fun, everything is perfect enough just to go full chat as much as you can as many times as you want.
Great Video! Spent many a happy mile in a dc2 as well as owning a DC5 Integra for many years as well. Great to hear it is highly regarded by someone who has the sort of choices of wheels to dabble in that you guys do!
I have one and the boot floor from factory has a wooden base under the carpet and therefore it's usable like any other boot. The wooden base has obviously been removed from this one. Great cars and voted one of the best handling front wheel drives ever built!
I had a type R from 1997 from new…. I drove it all over the country , all private miles, and did 85000 miles in four years. It never ever went wrong. I often drove over four hours in it. I never found it uncomfortable. I took three other adults to France in it at one point , and despite what he says in the video, the boot took all our luggage with no issues. I did drive it flat out a lot. It does make you want to rev it. I loved the car … i nearly always pick cars because i want to enjoy driving them…. This car is outstanding.
I remembering seeing the DC2 type r in person for the first time in 1998 while my buddy and i were out for a cruise in his 1992 GSR. The internet was in its infancy so not many of us had internet access so news about new cars didnt flow that quickly. He mentioned the type r to me and how it revved higher than his GSR.....seconds later, one drove right passed us. I said it from the that it was a very special car and current values reflect it. Absolute legend!
Had one of these. It was never boring. So many of the fundamentals were right: double wishbone suspension, lightweight, high revving engine, LSD, great seats, It even had a decent boot! I did plenty of long journeys in it. For me it was quite comfortable on the motorway with its good driving position, supportive seats and not bad ride quality. The main problem was there was no 6th gear so it sat at high revs, making noise wasting fuel on the motorway and it had a small fuel tank...
@@Shane-zx4ps In theory they could have kept the first 5 gears and the final drive the same and added a sixth longer ratio. (Tiff Needel mentioned this in his review at the time they came out)The ratios are a choice the manufacturer can change the ratios at will. Infact Honda did change the ratios of the Integra whilst it was in production specifically the Japanese 98 spec one IIRC, they tried to do what they could with a five speed box. Shame it never got the lighter 6 speed unit from the next Integra DC5 and Civic the EP3. If it did have a six speed maybe Honda would have ben tempted to keep top gear the same and just stacked the ratios even closer together as you say. Great car though. That's only thing I didn't like. Well that and the rust.
I had a later version Integra Type R and a Prelude VTiR. Both had great high revving VTec iR engines and were great to drive (remember our NZ market got the Japanese spec cars, which I think was a bit better than the UK models) What I remember most about my Integra was the TV advert. that used a Mattel Hot Wheels track to promote the Integra’ performance and appeal to the big boys toys spirit in all of us.
“Snicketty”. Onomatopoeic delight. And manhandling your titanium “knob” inside a twinkle toed ballerina is “Carry on” euphemism of the highest, end of the pier, order. Fine, fine work sir. Plus, revving the bejesus out of a 1.8 Vtec is just one of life’s great pleasures. Thanks for sharing the howl.
You're right Damian, the Über-cool distress flare is unique and an absolute 'must-have'! Mind you, it should never fall into the hands of little Japanese girls in raincoats.... At least that's what i understand that cute symbol means?
Nice rundown Sir. 👍🏻 😁 The Integras had the standard steering rack oddly enough. The black or red recaros were an option(in Canada only you could also get red back seats for some mad reason). You could also get them in Japan in red and black(and silver for the four door) from the start, when the updated 98's came out you could add silver and yellow. and yellow seats And yep fake as fook "carbon" 😁 I reckon your boot carpet is missing the plastic insert/backing(wooden on the Euro ones). So basically like the standard car.
I had a 1992 Civic VTi 4 door saloon. It was the more rounded headlight one, it had some extra-wide fandango wheels - with spacers! Fitted by the previous owner. It looked and went like a baby touring car. Revd to 9000 rpm. From about 5600 the noise, the noise was awesome. Getting all misty eyed here.......... 1st time I’ve seen this video. Love it..
What a soundtrack!! I think I'd prefer it in that spec as opposed to the red. Love the gear stick, it really is a lovely detail. Oh... loving the watch sir!
Fantastic cars to own and drive. I had two people last week come up to me and say they miss their old ITR! Truly special cars. And yes the interior is faded. My car has tint and so the rear seats are still black. I have a 1998 in Canada.
Back when Honda was fan by engineers they could not be stopped. 1.8L NA engine making over 100hp per litre was unheard of. I had one of these and regret everyday after I sold it. No one has topped this. The new Civic Type R isn't even as good of a handler as this. The refs are glorious as well. Between the S2000, first gen NSX, and this, Honda was a force. Now Honda is fan by marketing experts and lifestyle coaches. Sad RIP
We need a update on Jason’s collection. Did he ever buy a tommi n a pug rallye? Love the channel guys keep it up. The wrist watch check love that touch. More personality to the videos
Pig Monkey yes indeed. The brace bar in the boot between rear clusters is hollow in JDM cars but solid in UK cars also. Another difference of 2.5kgs. I’ve done several weight saving bits on my UK car. Still looks fully OEM with full interior but is 55kgs lighter. Makes a useful difference!
Jason! What the hell man? :( #SaveThemanuals ??? I recall the one time I had a passenger ride in a Type R when they came out and it defiantly spun the tires in 3 gears and may have chirped them in the 4th gear. The owner of that one drove it very hard slamming the gears hard, making Damien look like Shmee driving in the rain on slicks on track. The only thing that I was in that was comparable was an 80's Ford Escort RS turbo...LOL
In 2000, I couldnt make my mind up between a new one of these or an Impreza. After test driving both, I ordered the Impreza. I still dont know if I made the right decision but the Impreza was a cool car, then.
@@jep1912 Thanks! It was a Turbo, the P1 came out about 6 months later. I remember looking at one in the dealership when I was having mine serviced, lovely car
The integra you're reviewing just had a faded seats. They're originally black in color. And why does your vtec kicks in at 6500rpm? Should be 5200 to 5500.
Just bought the 60s Icons and The Beans T shirts for The Car Guys’ 288 GTO fund. Hope you get one soon! 😂Are you keeping your tdf still? It looks as though they aren’t going back up in price...
Brill reveiw as always... bangers ish always tug at my heart i thew a i dont want it bid at my alfa q2 because of all its problems and now i own it i love it
I too am a Honda guy mostly vetch engines started in 1995 CRX 2.2 Prelude and now 2004 S2000 which I cant get enough of so why is Jason selling his Intgera R it’s not a DUD it’s a Mad.
I recently repainted rear fenders after rust repair. And I "lost" original Type-R stickers on both sides, but they were cheap on amazon.co.uk. Five pounds. Your stickers look bad 2:52, it is not expensive to change.
Yeah. 😁 Tops of back seats the worst hit. Though as a current owner of a 98 Spec JDM, I missed having a full centre console, so I went and got one from a scrapped JDM DC2 1.6. To complete the "authentic" package I then went and sourced an brand new OEM US Acura Type R centre alacantara console lid(as that was standard with them). I was a bit concerned the new part would look the wrong colour and out of place, but funny enough it seems even as brand new the colour was more a blue black so it didn't. It's been in it over two years now and looks the same as the rest of the interior. I'm kinda going for the "world DM" rather than J/US/E/UKDM. 😁 To that end on top of the USDM centre console, I have UKDM rear lights(the best and most modern looking IMHO) EDM rear fog light set into the JDM bumper, UK and Ireland floormats and pedals. I'd love a USDM rear seat, but they're like rocking horse droppings.
Chaps. May I ask you consider what I and a few other pals with more than one car are looking into - i.e. offering your cars to NHS staff etc and adding the driver to your insurance (so they can self isolate in a car to and from work and don't have the risk of transferring virus via public transport). Non essential citizens will be in lockdown within 48 hrs, so it makes total sense.
That's a bit rough for such low KMs my DB8 type R (4 door) has only 140,000 kms and is about the same but all in all it's a very exciting car to drive and I have no problem driving long distances, The first drive I had in mine was around 4 hours distance from where I bought the car back home and I loved every second of it 👍
Can I ask your (and everyone else's!) opinion? I'm meant to be selling, via classic car auctions in a couple of weeks my 2001 Renault Sport Clio 172 (low mileage, all original etc etc). With all this craziness going on, if it was you, would you pull it out of the auction and wait until later in the year when people are allowed out again?!
C'mon Jason, a beautiful car like that and you aren't driving it? Change the name of the channel to The Car Guy and Jason. I haven't seen one of those in a while, they are a great value for the money.
Please man. Sell the other vehicles. Even if it's just a tin can with a (legendary) inline-4. You're never gonna see these types of cars again. Sell that stupid S-class!!!!!!
If you would like to purchase this very car, it is currently for sale. Contact ortontom@hotmail.com
still for sale?
Greatest fwd ever made, in fact, one of the greatest sports cars ever made.
It is such a simple and awesome driving experience.
No doubt, I always thought they were little boys cars, until I drove one, have had a dc2r now for 12 years
I agree
Great to see a guy like yourself appreciate and understand the typeR line up. The dc2 is a very special machine , I’ve owned five and loved everyone.
Thanks, Chris

May I ask you consider what I and a few other pals with more than one car are looking into - i.e. offering your cars to NHS staff etc and adding the driver to your insurance (so they can self isolate in a car to and from work and don't have the risk of transferring virus via public transport). Non essential citizens will be in lockdown within 48 hrs, so it makes total sense.
i just brought my JDM spec DC2R
Congrats 👏🏻
Reckon you should Low Ball him for it and take it to Cadwell Park for a damm good thrashing !
Fantastic car,but engine bay condition was let down😲
However,I guess it gives the new owner something to do.👍
How much did it sell for?
That's a bit rough for such low KMs my DB8 type R (4 door) has only 140,000 kms and is about the same but all in all it's a very exciting car to drive and I have no problem driving long distances, The first drive I had in mine was around 4 hours distance from where I bought the car back home and I loved every second of it 👍
Hi Damian - thought I'd tuned in to Calvin's diary of a car trader, but posher :) (only kidding)
A 'little bit of rust on the wheel arch' normally means the rot has started in them. They normally rot from the inside out
I prefer EU spec.
Sorry to inform you that you (and nine others at the time of writing) have the wrong opinion 😉
How much is it worth now?
Can I ask your (and everyone else's!) opinion? I'm meant to be selling, via classic car auctions in a couple of weeks my 2001 Renault Sport Clio 172 (low mileage, all original etc etc). With all this craziness going on, if it was you, would you pull it out of the auction and wait until later in the year when people are allowed out again?!
MOT ran out in June !!!
Wow you can use the Internet
Hot wheels just dropped this online the other day and it sold out in minutes!!!!
No way!
Thanks Damian...couple of things....
1 what year model is it? and
2 I think Jason knows now that you have been using the Integra...🤣🤣🤣
1997. And yes, you may be right
more beans Please! Jason...shame On you for 'selling'!!!...lol!
C'mon Jason, a beautiful car like that and you aren't driving it? Change the name of the channel to The Car Guy and Jason. I haven't seen one of those in a while, they are a great value for the money.
Cheers car guy
“One of the most exciting cars ever made...”. Ejem...
197 bhp jdm. Momo steering wheel was an option I think,and recaro seats standard.
U dont want to take this to a 2 hour joruney? You poor people without Autobahn haha
Please man. Sell the other vehicles.
Even if it's just a tin can with a (legendary) inline-4. You're never gonna see these types of cars again.
Sell that stupid S-class!!!!!!
Because you called it stupid, no
Time to get that 205 GTi 1.9, guys. Did I mention that before ?
Once or twice... 😀
Cool car, agree about the red interior. I remember in my teens the Civic Type R being the dream machine!!
