as teh tittle said, how can you tell the difference between a Integra Type R and a regular Integra (gsr, ls, gs...)? i know the ITR have 5 lugs and no sunroof. someone told me something about the doors?

 

ITR is only white or yellow, and has no side mouldings.

 

The 3rd character in the VIN will be a 4. 4th to 8th characters - DC231 (DC2 is a 2 door Integra, 31 is a Type-R)

Why have I seen black ones?

 

they do come in black




body colored lip kit
type R wing
special wheels
type R badging
special interior w/ red stitching
etc..

 

really? Must be a Canadian thing then.

 

 

is that side moulding i see as well? In canada there are no side mouldings, and they come in white and yellow only (as far as i know)

 

nope, that's just light reflecting off the body line.

 

also has the high wing and ITR only wheels

 

5 lug nuts instead of 4.

 

^^^^ That's the BEST way to tell!! Most ricers (read: all) dont change that and most other people dont pickup on a 'Type R' badged Teg with 4 lugs being faux.

 

so a usdm itr have no side molding and the other teggy do? cuz the only way i can tell is the 5 lugs and no sunroof. real ITR have no sunroof right? cuz my friend is arguing with me that a teggy around the school is a ITR but it have a sunroof and 4 lugs.

side molding is the long plastic line that runs arcoss the lower door right?

 

whats so great about the type R? how many horses they got?

 

200 i think

 

they got great mod potential.... great engine too, takes boost pretty well. their VTEC also kicks in pretty hard DOHC VTEC > SOHC VTEC big time...

 

Drive one and then you tell us.

 

About the doors, the ITR has NO door mouldings. All the others do. I think the best way to find out is to check the VIN like mentioned above. Anyone can do a conversion, but most won't go through the trouble of swapping VIN plates.

 

8.5K redline

 

find me one to drive, i never see em'

 

A turbo ITR is a force to be reckoned with.

 

ITR in the US was rated at 195hp at the crank.

The ITR came only in three colors: Championship White, Phoenix Yellow, Black.

The ITR does not have a sunroof (they add weight, something they expressly tried to cut in the ITR).

The ITR has a 5 lug spindle as opposed to the 4 lug on all other Integras.

The ITR has a huge wing on the back and unique body colored skirt kit.

The ITR is around 0.5 to 0.75 inches lower in ride height than a standard Integra.

The ITR is only available with the gunmetal 7-spoke rims from the factory.

The ITR only came with a manual tranny (5-speed).

That's all I can think of for now.

That info seems to matchup with my brochure (1997).
