Default WTF makes a car type r?

I can't tell anymore. In one day I've seen an Eclipse, a Neon, and a Civic with type r stickers. I seriously don't know though, I know that teggies can be type r's. What is so cool about it and why does everyone have stickers, valve covers, and seat belt covers with the logo?

civics can be too. when they're real, they're the racing versions of the car.

The only real Type-R in America was the Acura Integra Type-R. In Japan they have Civic Type-Rs, Accord Euro-R, and some other crap probably. I think in Japan a couple brands name their car Type-R like some Subarus were, and maybe some RX7s.

real type-r's come from the factory. it's not just the engine...usually has upgraded engines, seats, suspension, brakes....eh, that's all i can really think....chime in if there's other stuff.
