Hey does anyone own a honda integra type R 2000 model??

if so, is it a good, reliable car to have? and how much does it cost to insure it once you're off your Ps?

if its automatic, would it still be pretty powerful?

cos im still deciding on what car to get second hand for 18k. im liking the integra, subaru RX and mitsubishi fto.

thanks,

cyas

An auto series 1 S14? The looks aren't everyone's tastes, but its legal for P platers in Victoria (under the power/weight limit) and has an SR20DET, while the SR20DET S13 and 180SX's are over the power/weight limit

As KILL HSV said, you could get auto S13's, 300ZX's and Skylines as well for under 18k

Don't forget to factor in insurance, RWC, rego, fuel etc. into the cost

Edit: If you can stretch the budget out a bit, you could get a series 2 S14 (96-98), look better than the series 1

FTO's come in tip-tronic mostly... I think they are sexy and sound mean hen revved out (MIVEC ones anyway) so that would be my choice... insurance is pretty steap though, i think just cars quoted about 2500 the same as what they quoted me for the skyline... so guess which one i chose :)

it depends, heard some cost around 1000 for a Gtst, mine cost 3000,i'm 22, full licence, just go have a quote first, and decide which car should u get. a type R for 18k?? whats kms?if under 100k i will sell off my 33 to get it, since its good in overall, not bad on straight, excellent in corners, dun get an auto(type R dun come with auto anyway), unless its M3 SMG auto, and dun get a FTO or prelude, they cant compare with a type R honestly...anyway, have quote on each car first, and i think u can make yr decision...it just my personal opinion, sorry if anyone dun agree with that

u can get a tyype r for like around 20-22k..my friend bought his for 22k and it was in perfect condition and average kms...Under 100kms tooo..onli reason it was dat cheap was coz some guy was in debt n needed to get rid of it..

another mate got his type r for like 18?19k? from the auctions and also under 100k kms....a type R for around 20k? its rare but u can still find one if u look hard....

btw FTOs are a piece of shyt..i hate the look of it and it doesnt go..if i were u..18k? get a 180sx and come on dude! learn manuel if ur guna get a sports car....its not dat hard to learn anyway..i learnt it in one day after i got my line!!

I had my 1st year in auto only then it changed automatically with the p2 system (in NSW) but rumors have it that you have to go for the driving test again soon in a manual to have it changed.

I Would have thought it hard to find a type r for that price and in good conditon - and yeah that dont come in auto. Preludes are a great car (had a gen 3 - 89 with 4ws) and should be pic up a gen 4 or 5 (not sure) in good nic for that price. Insurance for any of those would be a killer though. But if you get a good honda they are great to drive and pretty realiable - we couldnt kill ours (a bogan and a red light did).

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
