yeah, im a noob.. very much so.. in any case, im pokin through ebay, and i see a lot of GSRs.. is that the same? im confused

 

hmm.. looking around.. i don't think it is..

 

It totally isn't, let me get some information for you real quick..

From http://www.itrca.com/FAQ/general/spottersguide.php

What sets the Type-R apart from any other Integra?

Engine/Drivetrain:

Revised high flow intake
Revised high flow exhaust
Polished and ported heads and ports
Molybdenum coated piston skirts
62mm throttle body
Lightweight valves
Lighter, stronger flywheel
Redline bumped up to 8400 RPM
Limited slip differential
Body/Chassis/Suspension:

Larger brakes (11.1 inch front, 10.2 inch rear)
Revised lighter ABS system
5 lug Hubs
15x6 Alloy wheels
Bridgestone RE-010 tires
New front air dam
Larger rear spoiler
Short throw transmission with shorter gears
Front shock tower bar
Two rear stabilizer bars
- There is really only one rear stabilizer bar.
The other bar, which was added for the ITR only,
is actually a lower suspension brace - it has no
dynamic suspension interaction other than to help
prevent chassis flex
Stiffened suspension
Little over a 1/2 inch (15mm) lower ride height
Faux Carbon Fiber instrument panel (Center Console in 2000/2001)
Deep bolstered, race-inspired seats
Subtraction of 147 lbs (No sunroof, A/C, sound deadening material)
Only offered in White until 2000 then Yellow and Black were also offered
No protective side moldings

 

daaaaaaaaaaymm.. yeah, i guess thats what i figured.. but, cool, thanks for the info!

 

GSR's are more liveable daily drivers and have creature comforts such as leather interior and a mooroof.

Type-R 195hp
GSR 170hp

 

I disagree.

I think having 25 more hp (crank), stiffer chassis, lighter weight, and 400 rpm more until redline would be a welcome addition for any daily driver .

ps. I would guess that a stock ITR would be more liveable that a lowered gsr on low profiles...h:

 

You've obviously not had to use an ITR for a daily driver h:

I'd take a GSR over my R as a daily driver any day

 

I drive my R every day (10K miles since October 02) and I would prefer this over any of my friend's GSRs.

Stock for stock, mien is 12.4X more fun to drive. The leather has me sliding all over the place, although I can actually hear the stereo over the car in the GSR.

I'm with Shingo and I *DO* use my R for a daily driver, after 1.5 yrs of driving an LS.

 

ITR's have no A/C!!?!?!?! what do u guys do in the summer?
please tell me u guys have A/C

 

Yea, the 00-01 Type Rs have it stock

97-98 was an option
