My Integra Type R (Black UKDM)
Discussion
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...

Hi, yes it's the same car. 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...
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.

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?Enjoy yours though
I heard the early ones (white only) had an increased rev limiter at 9k but not heard the above.
Thanks for all the replies.

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