My Integra Type R (Black UKDM)

[Gompo]

Bought this a few weeks back - Not many visible modifications and that's the way it's staying. However, there are a few different things:

Lightened Flywheel (9LB)
Skunk 2 Quickshift and titanium gearknob
Lowered 30mm on Tanabe Springs

Some pics:









Cheers, Greg.

I have a strange feeling I used to know the owner of this car, through the 106 Rallye Register? Registration seems familiar to me, as well as the Toyo cut slicks...

It's a lovely car mate, the UK model is growing on me but still prefer JDM if I'm honest. Not sure if the UK has maybe aged a little better, maybe its because I'm used to seeing JDM ones...

Nice motor Greg! Shame the last number in your plate is not a 4!

Hi, yes it's the same car.

A few years back I used to prefer the JDM edition due to the headlights, but the UK has grown on me a lot recently and I now reckon the JDM looks more dated and more steriotypically 90's Jap. Not necessarily a bad thing. To be honest before I initially started looking at them seriously I wasnt a massive fan of the looks but now I really like it. It does admittedly look a little dated without any 'creases', small-ish wheels etc but that's part of the charm to me. It is the newest car I've owned

Good call on the numberplate Ben, I hadnt actually considered that! For what it's worth there is a Porsche meet at Ye Olde Bell (Barmby Moor) tomorrow evening which I may head out to/drive past, if you'd not heard anything about it. http://www.synd.org.uk/resources/PressReleaseYeOld...

While the weather's not too crap I think I am gonna go out again or a shortish run

Cheers.

Nice to see one in black

Very nice mate, I loved mine but always wanted a JDM. Must pick up nicely with the light weight fly too. Enjoy!

[rainmasterb]

Thanks mate, yeah I may well go to that tomorrow night.

You know the black ones are slower, right? Its not on the spec sheets but the red/black ITR's left the factory with 185bhp, instead of 190, as a retort to the new owner for picking the wrong colour.

Enjoy yours though

Really?

I heard the early ones (white only) had an increased rev limiter at 9k but not heard the above.

Thanks for all the replies.

I've no experience of an Integra with a standard flywheel, but yes it does pick up nice enough and helps with H+T'ing, although I struggle abit with the pedal placement for that.

I wanted black anyway, they rust less

I LOVED my teg when I had it. Why is it one only appreciates what one has when one loses it?

It looked just like yours. Black, shortshifter and lowered. Such a lovely car to drive.
