Trading my NSX for an Intergra Type R.

[MrHugo]

Integra Type R easily the best car I have owned, and I say this having now a NSX, and had 07 S2000.

Integra is so forgiving and fun to drive. B series motor runs forever, and I rev the shit out of it. I can load and store so much stuff in the car, such as 3 full sized bikes in the hatch. I also once managed to fit 8 people in this car. I forgot how, sorry...

I sold mine because of nightmares from getting it stolen, its sad. One day, I will get another one.

Mine has 160k and takes so much abuse. My R-comps in the back with tools, cooler, chair, camping stuff, etc. I just completed a 2,000+ mile road trip on Sunday that included much beating at Mid Ohio and Watkins Glen. I can't say enough great things about them and hope to collect a few more.

I've never done it in the ITR, although I've verified that they fit in the places that add up to 14 tires. For the video for four fitting in the NSX, click here.

I've fit 8 with zero effort, I'm sure 12 would cause some difficulty... Not sure about 14, but if Ken can jam 4 in an NSX then I have to take his word for it.

Very interesting to see US pricing on ITR's over here LHD ITR's are worth $10-11.000, RHD JDM ITR $6500-$8000.

Generally for something decent in the 100k range and stock you're looking at 11-12k.

The awesome ones are 16-22k

I had trouble fitting 2 stock size tires in an NSX with any amount of comfort left, how the hell'd you do 4?!

take out the passenger seat

This is what happens to most Type R's: http://skafia.com/itr/sad/

Unless you're going be tracking the hell out of the Type R I don't think it's worth buying because then you'll have 2 amazing cars that don't get driven :/

No need to remove the passenger seat!

Assuming you have the '91-93 stock size tires (205/50-15 and 225/50-16), you can fit a rear in the trunk, a front behind the passenger seat, and two vertically on the passenger seat, as demonstrated here.

Haha! You’re not kidding. That post didn’t age well.

Also a blast from the past getting reminded about Prime.
