This shouldn't just be a parts catalog. It can be a parts catalog, but this should be more.
This should be the first of many Integra Type S Special Editions and Limited Editions.
They should offer this in 2 versions:
1. The first should be a Limited Edition Integra Type S HRC Track Package with the car fully built as is the way it is in the video.
2. The second should be a Special Edition Integra Type S HRC Extreme Street Package with a street wing spoiler, return of the backseats, but make the backseats with the HRC Recaros as an HRC Recaro backseat bench, swap out the Alcantara suede steering wheel with a fully leather-wrapped steering wheel with yellow stitching, and everything else on the ITS HRC from the HRC Borla exhaust, the new wheels, the 6-piston yellow Brembo brake calipers, the yellow interior decorative vent trim pieces, the new hood, and the HRC intercooler remains standard.

I always found this version of the Integra to be extremely gorgeous but my God what a beauty this is. It's a worthy museum piece i would say. However not all is bright and shiny though. Here are a couple of complaints i have. The Civic Type R was built more or less as a track weapon so i get why they choose to make it manual only but the Integra Type S was built for the streets so an auto option should be available as well. Just not a CVT. The Type S already was way too expensive so i hope they offer this as package because i personally wouldn't want my back seats removed. Lastly im kinda curious is Acura forbidden from using Honda's hybrid systems or something because hybrids are where the game is at and Honda's are some of the best. Pretty weird that Acura want's to jump straight to electric without even considering hybrids as an alternative or at least as an ootion.

I also heard Acuras allowing to remove A/C as an option. That doesn’t make sense at all. Jeep once offered a renegade w no A/C which I thought was insane
Ideally they should just remove the safety features, dual zone climate, electric parking brake, parking sensors, and the wireless charger. No ones going to care about those features missing. They unnecessarily add weight. Having A/C at least allows for ventilation and cold air blowing on tracking during hot days

Bulky, large looking vehicle that gives all bark no bite. It's giving Scion tC vibes release series 2. 0 which will look outdated very quickly. Looks like an expensive taxi. I own an Integra, black on black. Just wouldn't spend more money on a type S.
Acura should really focus on luxury and leave the racing to Honda.

This will be what 65k 75k I’m sure it’ll be a blast to drive.
How many people out there are looking to spend that kind of money on a toy car and will consider a front wheel drive Honda with four doors and two seats
Those people are out there. For sure! But, it’s not many.

Acura should make it as it is. And this exact color should be the launch color or the first edition color with the same exact spec. With nice performance, a nice price, go the extra 20, 30 or even 40k, depending on how much they can exctract from the engine and the decreased weight.

Wait, what's the musc source Alex It sounded like Tabla (percussion instrument from India) for a bit. On the car, I hope they ala carte the options. I would like the racy interior stuff, but with the back seat still around!

Could you please do a long video on the new model 3 rwd long range.
And potentially a side to side comparison to the old model 3. As both are so comparable. And pricing makes it a struggle to know which one to buy.

If its a la cart, Id take all the uodates minus the rear seat delete and wing. Unless if its like the dodge demon package and the rear seats and strut brace can be removed/added as needed.

Great first look video. As far as what I would want for my regular Type S: the forged wheels, that carbon hood, the yellow paint, the rear brace, and yellow interior accents.

The normal Type S Integra is 55K. This is gonna be like 75K which is absurd. My ZL1 10-speed costed less. Hell a CT4-V Blackwing with the Tremec 6 speed costs less.

Looks pretty cool. Will undoubtedly be an uber expensive or limited run if it were to be sold as a complete package, especially with those fancy CF Recaros.

The only upgraded Integra Type-S I'm interested in is one with SH-AWD and an auto transmission. These track bits should stay with the Civic.

I hope they decided to sell the parts separately, regular teggy with HRC parts would be better for daily/ occasional track use.

I would love the driver seat, the brakes, and the inter cooler. Is the driver seat manual adjustment or button like the OEM seat
