Donx,The type-r and the type-s are actually not the same car in Japan. The Japanese markets are offered three different trims of integra: base, type-s, and type-r.American tuners have hoped for years to have the type-r available here but to no avail. Luckily in 2005 a lot of the parts from the type-r were also added to the new type-s which gave it its ramped up horsepower.
