What does the R stand for in Type R? 🤔

This episode hits home cause my buddy had a buddy who died recently that LOVED and LIVED Type-R and had a right hand drive Type-R and worked at a Honda mechanic shop. RIP Type-R Chris.

It's 1.8L 4 cylinders making 195 hp, now imagine this in the 90's lots of N/A V6 making 190-250 hp. That's how powerful the B18C was.

You have a better chance at finding a virgin in a Kentucky Bayou bar than finding a bone stock Tegra.

i'm 6'3 and i've been delivering pizzas in my integras for years so i find it hilarious how he struggles to get in the driver seat when i literally hop in and am ready to go within 2 seconds LOL

Random fact: in 1913 you could legally mail babies...

Type R enthusiasts: "You know, I’m something of a genius myself."

Thanks for a great review. Just a couple of little points you didn't mention about this car; it has a LSD - something quite rare for that era. The windscreen was also made thinner, to reduce weight. I have the same car - white and with the full body kit, production number 0101. I bought it in 2000 and have clocked 298,000Kms. (Having a big party when I hit 300,000Kms) I have NEVER touched the motor, though I often rev it well past 9,000rpm. In those 20 years I have paid out very little, except for basic stuff such as 2 clutches and 2 distributors and a couple of minor repairs. I replaced the original disc pads after 225,000Kms, as I just use my gears. It's hard to explain, but every time I hop into the seat, I get a feeling of excitement and anticipation. Many new cars can beat my Type R in a straight line, but few can beat me when it comes to being the quickest from A to B. I've got the money saved up to buy a new hot hatch, but I can't break away from this love affair and now, at 71 years of age, it's quite possible that me and my type R will be buried together.

Editing jokes like the one at 1:22 are like half the reason I love Donut videos. Keep it up unsung editing heroes

The R in Type r stands for Raid Shadow Legends

Am i the only one who was surprised when he said i am 6’4”

If you lived through this era it was completely sought after and not overlooked in the slightest

After seeing a duo of buzzing RealTime Type R's open a can of whoop ass on a roster of Viper's and 911's etc on a rainy Vancouver street course in the late 90's I vowed right then and there to get one for myself. Finally in 2007 I purchased one and I am NEVER selling it.

10:24 Me when I see an Integra Type R...

I love how y’all bleep “cockpit” lol

Loved this car since a child. It was one of my most prized diecast collectibles

Funny story: when I clicked on this video, an Acura Ad played right before the video started and I was like, "hmm... how convenient is that?" lmfao

Day 92 of asking James to do an Up to speed on his Dad

I miss when Acura used to be cool

I love this guy. He's as chill as a car video should be and thats perfect

I had the pleasure of owning a 1999 ITR DC2 here in Melbourne (Australia).... in which I clocked up 165,000 kms (from new) & enjoyed 13 track days during my 5.5 years of driving nirvana. I was utterly addicted to the VTEC scream of the B18C engine, the wonderfully slick gearbox, dynamic handling & complete package of Honda engineering. Even 17 years on & after driving many higher spec cars, the memories of the DC2 remain as some of my best driving experiences ==> I would buy another one anytime, for future track fun!

“Keep that butt on that seat” **proceeds to stay on toilet

The integra startup sound: **calm** My honda fit's startup sound: dudududu *REEEEEEEE **calm**

I remember one day finishing from work (I'm a mechanic) and saw it and fell in love with it.

"ITR is one of the most underrated FWD JDM coupes of the 90s" > AE111 enters the chat.

" I'm not gonna explain Vtec, we've done that hundreds of times" *continues to explain Vtec* 😂

The Integra Type R is one of the best cars ever made and certainly the best FWD car ever made We need to protect this from ricers alike

I remember racing one of these Type R’s in my Eclipse GS-T. We stayed neck to neck. This was back in 2003. 😎

If you want to get super nerdy, Eric the Car Guy did a 30min video on every single feature that makes a Type R special.

He’s really developing well and showing off his own personality

The DC2 will always end up as the best fwd car, as well as one of the most underrated jdm cars.

"this thing has a pretty good amount of space in it, considering it's a 'luxury vehicle' " did hon- acura make him say that???

Jeremiah: Lets take a look under the hood KZfaq: Introducing new Dr Squatch

“Only geniuses appreciate the Integra Type R” Err, I think *most* car guys appreciate the Type R.

As a 90's kid I am in love with Hondas and think that they were the most beautiful cars until mid 00's. You tell me why.. I finally made it and bought an HR-V GH2 1.6 model and I feel superb!

My all time favorite! Simple, but mind blowing technology. Light weight, but just the right creature comforts. Modular as heck, but you could run all Honda components and have an awesome car.

The Integra Type R was underappreciated? Either I've been living in an alternate dimension for the last 20 years or donut is running out of ideas.

Is it weird I lost my shit the most when he mentioned the welding? The whole chassis seam welded?! That's insane yo!

A buddy of mine imported a 96 right hand drive, totally stock. Low kms aswell. I'm a muscle car guy, but I love driving that thing. It's just so raw

In 2004 my dad bought a used Acura Integra type R for $8500 dollars ,this price jump only proves that this is indeed a collectors item .

“The Acura integra should be one of the greats” This video is sponsored by Acura

Acura’s ads remind me of a washed up prom king who never shuts up about that time they made the game winning pass their senior year.

Love the attention these cars are getting! Can't wait to finish the rebuild on my Type R!

This guy is like Nads on Hoonigan when he first joined...he got hate at first but now people are starting to appreciate him.

Just got a “Beat Ad” by Acura while watching this video Probably the only thing I could relate to

"I'm not gonna explain what vtec is" *explains vtec*

Bro the Integral always will have a place in my heart

Love the title lol As a GSR owner I have to say i never get bored of driving my car.

This guy just doesn’t bring stuff to life the way James does

Sold for 80k . . . and then the bubble popped.

As a Integra owner, this video gets me a smile on my face 😄👍

It’s not a TypeR, but I’ll never sell my DA Integra. But the TypeR in the video is beyond beautiful. I symbol of hope for all who still own an Integra.

The Integra Type R is insanely amazing. I fell in love with them when Peter Cunningham raced them with the RealTime team. I will own one at some point.

*gets ad about acura* "Perfectly balanced, as all things should be." Edit: OH. MY. GOSH. Thanks to everyone who liked this comment!! ") Edit 2: Don't say stuff so simple because the only other comments I've posted ( not on this vid ) had either 10 likes or less. I'm simply sick of those types of people who say "It's just a [whatever it is]. Why do you care so much?" Well, ask Donut Media why do they care so much that they have 3Mill Subs? Subs are more than likes, guys (and gals, lmfao) If you nothing nice to say, *DO, NOT, SAY, IT!* Edit 3: Wow, I never would've thought I said that so young. Well, I guess my VTEC kicked in there..

I'm from the Philippines and my dad got the Integra DC5 a few years after it was released and we even had to convert it to left hand drive which took some waiting and going to the airport back and forth and once we got it, my dad was so happy because he knew the DC5 was gonna be a killer, and boy was he right, he got bronze rims similar to the type s ones and did some interior stuff, the thing was naturally aspirated (for half of the time my dad had it) but it when we got a turbo, it was gapping civics and Lancers ane everythings everywhere, but than we got broke due to some personal family problems, and my dad had to sell the Integra to get a more reliable car, it shaped a core memory in my brain, accidentally dropping the clutch while handing it to my dad, almost scratching the door with scissors, and when we had the car, we were the top dog in our entire city, we were possibly the only ones with it in the country, but some Manila kid probably got one before us.

I think it's super fitting that I got an ad for the Type-R before the video about the Type-R began.

You can tell the real passion of a true gear head when he talks about this car, love the content, love the car and this is one of my favorite episodes guys!

Can't forget the Dabbing Samurai Integra from NFS Underground. Legendary. Made me appreciate this car so much. Boy, I'd love to own one some day.

i graduated high school in 2000 - near Vancouver, BC. There were 3 chinese kids that had these - from what i recall: 2 yellow and 1 creme... i had a prelude at the time. memories.

Just bought my son's 2000 Type R. Honestly kind of excited. It's mostly stock; I think only the air intake and and the intake manifold have been changed. It's a bit rough but I think I can baby it back.

Overshadowed??? Bruh, In the 90s EVERYONE knew about the potential of the Integra. Especially the Type-R.

Jeremiah has grown on me especially when I see him and Joe on podcasts together they are gold

No way I drove past one of these yesterday and now I'm being recommended this video, certainly not complaining

Please don’t forget the Acura DC5 RSX Type R

Appreciate this guy not trying to emulate James, seems hes finding his own groove. Props!

Do you know what would men of culture appreciate too... Car Wars: Donut Media v.s The Grand Tour

So many Type R Specs were missed. The lighter windshield, removal of sound deadening material, optimal removal of AC, Honda literally lost money on all of these they sold. I didn’t know about the missing vanity mirrors though. Still a good video.

One of the first cars I was so hooked on when looking for a first car, only to know its rare. My favorite car of all time for japan!

Love this car, along with the 99-00 civic si. This was such a great era for Japanese cars. They were simple and effective, even though the new type r civic is cool it’s just got way to much going on. Honda really nailed it with these cars.

My grandma had an all white integra. Seeing that interior brought me back to leaving church on the way to godfathers pizza and I couldnt wait to spend my quarters on stickers in the vending machine or steal croutons from the salad bar or go play rampage on the arcade machines in the corner of the godfathers. Ahhh good times.

For some reason, bleeping out "cockpit" directly after "mouth hole" made me bust out laughing

Been a mechanic now for 5 years and growing up loving cars by playing need for speed I have driven fixed all cars except hypercars but I was more happy to service integra and test drive it than any other car on the planet its gem

"Maintenance mode"is the perfect way the break the windshield of your $82k integera

Steering wheel lock. Hidden Fuel cut off. Lowjack. Alarm system. Two cumbersome to walk with a removable steering wheel or the ECU lol.

A true genius likes whatever car they personally like - regardless of its perception, opinions and stats from other people.

Am I the only one that likes listening to the door handle sounds when they are going to film the interior shots on all these older cars?

The type R is great but the GS-R is such a sleeper and doesn’t get any recognition but sooner or later low mileage clean ones will go for top dollar

finally some recognition for one of the best machines ever

I remember reading in Sport Compact Car that the seam welding was urban legend.

My heart has a huge place in it for the Integra Type-R

The thing I love about this show is that every video has a different intro

This episode is making me wish I never sold my 98 GSR integra. I've been missing it since I sold it.

My favouritest car of all time. took yall long enough to make this video

I have a 2005 s2000. Pretty sure that car does not exist without the Acura Integra Type R. Good stuff.

Another really underrated JDM is the Celica GT-Four ST205, this is Supra's lil brother and imo better.

I appreciate car for being the every first car we drive in NFSU1 or where nfs tuners became booming

I had one, original Type R sitting in my ex-shop for almost half a decade. Was stolen(by someone who didnt know) when it was recovered, my shiftknob and driver seat head rest were the only thing missing. I was lucky, ended up selling it in 06'ish because I sold the shop and changed professions(mid life crisis) now in 2020 i still regret it. One of the best cars ever made, quality wise although my fav part was the driving position.. the way the dash extends to you and how sharp the steering wheel is with having tiny hand ring made it feel like a ferrari when driving.

Anything: “That’s what makes this car so cool.” He’s not wrong, you know

I love the part when you said "the smell reminds me of my sister's car"... Her car did smell really nice. I got fond memories of it as well. Nostalgia!! Tell her Clint said Hi (she'll remember)

My friend used to have a GSR, and even that thing was fast!

I see he learned from the Civic video, in this video he actually talks about the engine instead of just pointing out colored coolant hoses lol

I love how he kindly revved the engine. Gotta have some mechanical empathy, yo

I love the Integra and I love the NSX, I literally love every single Japanese sports car from the 90s (like the 90s were an exception)

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand the Integra Type R...

I know a guy that used to have one. he sold it and now totally regrets it. At the time I never appreciated it as much as it deserved. very cool

I had one, sold it, and have regretted it ever since. I absolutely loved that car.

His voice sounds like James' voice but without the screaming.

A dad in my neighborhood has this exact color spec up the street from me (: he seems like he is always fixing it. He loves it.

Haha the sound effects when it’s rubbing the badge 😂😂😂 donut you the best

I had a '99 UK spec Honda Integra Type R... It's probably the best car I've ever owned. The engine and gearbox are absolutely phenomenal and it handles like it's on rails.
