I just found out today from Acura that there will be no 1999 Integra Type R's imported. Now we have approximately 13-1400 produced, and potentially the dominant car in G/S. Should the SEB/SCAC remove
They may return for the 2000 model year. The only reason Honda is not importing any for 1999 is because of a model switch-over and there is not enough time for the dealers to sell them. I think they
Please don't talk amongst yourselves...there are PLENTY of cars that are allowed specifically by the SEB that have been produced in less quantity than the Type R. You trying to create a groundswell h
I agree with Craig, bump 'em. They more accurately fit the profile of an E-Stock car anyway. -Josh2 -- Joshua Hadler '74 914 2.0 CSP/Bi - Hooligan Racing #29 - CONIVOR '87 Quantum Syncro - aka stealt
Josh - I think you just gave all of the folks in ES a heart attack. Moving the Type R to ES is not a good idea. As far as I can tell, ES has smaller cars with moderate power (less than 140hp?). Note
the == I'd say they're closer to DS than ES. Sheesh, and I drive a Neon no less. Oh well, I would welcome the new blood in what basically is a "spec" class wihtout actually being worded as one. ;^)
Well a little cardiac exercise is a good thing eh? ;-) Yes, smaller cars with more torque and less weight than the Type R. The Type R has a paltry 129 lb-ft of torque all the way up at a dizzying 730

Its a great car, and they seem somewhat available, so why not allow them to run in stock as long as they are appropriately classed. The issue of staying in stock with such a low volume would only be
According to memory (don't have a '99 book yet, and gave away my other one), the letter of the law is 1000 annually for cars *not classified by the SEB.* Which the Type R is. Jamie '92 Prelude Si (no

Uh, "shouldn't" by what metric, Chuck? 1300 in 2 years? There were fewer than 1900 R package Miatas built in 4 years...should it be knocked out? What about 1LE's? Z07 Vettes? M030's especially? You g
Charlie, darling, let me repeat: One Thousand were made in 1998 (actually, it more by a few cars). Was there a part of the "One Thousand" you didn't understand? -- Matt Murray mailto:mattm@nassau.cv.
Can't we all just get along? (or at least stop whining?) Honda/Acura decided a while back not to make any 99 R's, they aren't even making them for the Japan Domestic Market. This isn't really new inf

Come on now. Where does it end? Sooner or later we'd be stuck running the base model of every car in every class. I'd agree that you can't make a Type R out of a GSR without alot of work. Does that m
