      Buddy has a 06’ TL. 236,000+ miles and it’s quiet as a cadillac when its on and it pulls like a brand new car when he opens it up. And these 06’ TL’s are known to top out 150 mph.

    I had an 01 Integra GS-R for 17 years. Was hands down the most favorite car I have ever owned. I even still have dreams about driving it around. Not only was it fun to drive, it was reliable. The only thing I ever changed on it besides the typical fluids/brakes/belts/plugs, was a front wheel bearing. Literally that's the only thing that ever went wrong with the car in 17 years. Never once broke down.
    I drove her hard too, properly of course. It would scream 7k+ at least once almost every time I drove it. The Integra, I'd argue, is probably one of the best *overall* cars ever to be made and the third gen was nothing short of perfection.

      If everyone was rich most would be this clean.. If an average Joe attempted this build, you are looking at $20K easy with labor. A full Titanium twin loop exhaust with welding and fabrication would cost you $3K+ at least for a normal person paying for all the labor. A turbo kit like that with a good turbo and good piping is $8K at least if you include labor. A really good quality paint job? $1500+(can be a lot more depending).. Trans rebuild or upgrades? $1k+.. Suspension? Another $1K.. The list just goes on and on..

    Awesome video Joe! I really enjoy your reviews! They are always informative for regular viewers and also cater to those who love driving! I would really love to see some interview / comments from John /LHT to get some insights on this build. I see the parts they selected and they definitely prioritize reliability and daily-driver friendly over anything else. I would like to see some short clips/interviews with the owners from future productions. Well done!

      @@AdversaryNemesis1124 NP man.. These performance cars these days are already pushing the boundaries of what is safe for the streets. For a FWD car, the Type R is incredibly fast and handles incredibly well right from factory. Being that it is Turbo charged from the Factory, just some mild tuning with a more freely flowing exhaust could net you 50-60 more hp no problem with very minimal effort. These older hondas need a lot of modification and upgrading to get them power and proper modern performance. And being that you are under Factory Warranty still, I would def try to limit pushing too much power unless you have the money to fix things out of warranty.

    I had the 2003 Honda SE with this GSR B16 VTECH engine swap. What made me do the swap is when I pulled next to a GSR back in 2003 and the way it just pulled off the line stock was crazy. That moment I knew I gotta have that engine or the car itself. This car is a legend in compact...there’s no conversion about the best JDMs without mentioning the Type R/GSR.

    As a tampa native I've know about LHT for a long time. They've been at the forefront of the honda scene here for a long time. This car is the epitome of JDM restomod. I got to zonk you on a couple items though Joe. You didnt call out the fact that this car has a full Jdm front end swap with the one piece headlights. You even stopped to mention the side markers on the fenders but not the fact that the USDM integra didnt have them. Only because he had the front end swap (including fenders) were they there. You briefly mentioned the 5 lugs but again didnt really talk about the fact that those were converted (probably from a type r). Love that you're doing reviews like this but you missed the coolest parts of the car.
