GT7 Transcripts/Honda Integra Type R (DC2) '98

The 3rd generation Integra Type R powers up, with hand-crafted tuning.
The Integra Type R was introduced in 1995. While the 'Type R' was known to car enthusiasts as the 'racing car on the street' since the introduction of the NSX in '92, it became much more affordable with the launch of the Integra.
The engine was based on the 1.8 L, B18 VTEC equipped in the Si. Redline and engine compression was increased using high-compression piston heads, high-strength connecting rods, and dual-valve springs. Assembly was performed one engine at a time by hand, and it produced 197.2 BHP, which is 109.5 BHP per litre of displacement. The body was reinforced but also made lighter. Despite the use of heavy parts such as performance rods and a helical LSD, weight was offset by reducing battery size, removing soundproofing material, and by using lightweight aluminium wheels, and a 40 kg decrease in weight was achieved. Fundamental suspension settings were revised, and it resulted in handling characteristics that virtually eradicated understeer.
Upon release, this Integra Type R became the symbol of high-performance front-wheel drive cars.
