The "break" Honda took in 1999 was because the ITR didn't sell well in the US. American buyers at the time weren't looking for that raw of a car. The GS-R was the better option at the time. I tried to buy a new 1998. The salesman kept calling me for over 4 months trying to sell it to me. The Internet, particularly car forums and online dealers selling aftermarket parts, and The Fast and the Furious movie changed it all. I have no interest in several JDM cars because of the RHD and KM/h.

The USDM Integra is what I would buy, they are actually more rarer since there will never be anymore Acura Integra Type R. Only Acura Integra Type S.

Also looks better in my opinion. I know it's supposed to be a luxury/sporty civic and you can see that in the headlights of the jdm integra. The twin circle headlights give the front end a whole new look and gives it more personality.

I'd pick the USDM Acura Integra Type R..... of course. It's more rare in limited numbers, more collectible, more highly prized, more market value, etc etc. JDM Integra Type R still nice, but a dime a dozen.

In Europe the prices have stableised over the past 3 years so you can get a very clean and original one from 12.000,-€ with around 180k/km on the clock. But better spend a bit more (around 15-18k €) to get my the 'best' currently for sale. :) Parts are no problem too. Expect 'bodyparts', all what's metal is at least not to get anymore what is a real issue for restaurating one or even after an excident.

My dad passed down his 96 GS-R to me (he's the original owner) and I have been having the same conflicting thoughts on whether to leave it alone or modify it. The more I look at the car, the more I kinda just want to keep it as stock as possibly because like I did want to like put a Type R spoiler and lip on it but I think keeping it mostly stock is the way to go. You hardly see any Integra's completely stock and the clean factory look is just refreshing. Ofc I have my car lowered and some different wheels, but I think body wise, keeping it stock is just refreshing if that makes sense. It is my daily and I do want to track it so stuff like a baffled oil pan and a rear subframe brace and sway bar and other simple mods like that I think are the way to go. Make it fun, keep it simple, and make it last a long time. My car is at 340k miles and counting and still happily revs to 8000rpm. Just my 2 cents.

I guess with the USDM and you’re complaining about the lack of creature comforts you missed the point. The engines on these cars were completely hand assembled. The entire body was seam welded. Everything on these cars was designed for one thing, performance. I owned a 1998 ITR. It was just amazing. It was also the only Acura to have five lug hubs, bigger brakes and special exhaust. The body was gutted of all insulation to create more lightness. If you wanted the luxury Acura, this was not the car to buy.

If you can afford it, yes. Though, any eg/DC with a k swap w/LSD upgrade and updated suspension can be 🤌 for FF. Imo, the problem with Itr in 2023 is that they are slow. The k series fixes this. .

You make good points, but I don't think they apply to all buyers/enthusiasts. There's a large segment of us who can appreciate the ITR for what it is. Many of us take our cars to the track as well. That's where this car shines. We have no interest in changing the car by making major alterations like K-swaps. We would rather buy a Honda that came from the factory with a K engine. If I want a faster car than what an ITR is, I'll just buy a faster car in addition to.owning an ITR. It's special the way it is. One major point I can say applies to me is that at these current prices, it makes appreciating the ITR objectively much harder. From a pure performance standpoint, it's not a $40k+ car. Too much money for what it is....in my opinion. Obviously not to others though. Fantastic car. It's such a shame how so many were stolen and trashed. No matter what though, it will always be hailed as a special car in automotive history.

You're talking about a car that was made 30 years ago. obviously it's going to be slow compared to the new ones.. so there was no comparison. PS n all you idiots that are putting k-series in your Integra type r's that's exactly what you are diots.. this car is a collectible noun does anybody believe in original anymore
