Polak....you gotta realize that those were some pretty incredible speeds. You're going to run into a lot of skepticism with stories like that.

Like I had said earlier...it would be enormously difficult to get an Integra up and over 180 mph. Even FWD touring cars don't go 200 (or drag cars for that matter). It's hard enough to get a V-8 or even a V-12 going that fast! So the odds that you could get a 4 cylinder car (even with a turbo) are virtually nil.
No, I do not (thank goodness).
No, he doesn't (thank goodness).
No, I haven't (thank goodness).
I say again, NO street driven 'modded' Type-R can do 200 mph. 180 mph maybe with a ton of room, FMIC, ZR tires, 20 pounds of boost and hella aerodynamics you might see something close to 180 mph. Now, if you were talking in kph, then I'd agree.
So, I must (against my better judgement for fear of dragging this pointless discussion out) ask what mods each of these cars were running. Only then can I (we) be sure.
Personally, and in complete opinion mode here, feel that you are one of those little teens who thinks that anything with a red "R" on it automatically makes it the fastest thing on four wheels.
Note to everyone: R != 200mph
Here I am, delving into something that is surely bound to bite me later...oh well, it's in my nature.
I did some poking around to determine just what the maximum speed of the Integra Type-R would be in a street-driven nature. Now, all of my calculations are based on the assumption that the car is running the stock gearbox (which I think is common in this type of...'situation'). I'll also use the standard 15x6 wheels with stock 195/55R15 tires (which wouldn't hold up at 180 mph, but let's ignore that for now).
I'll use the gearbox specs of the B18C5 Acura. With this information, we get a value of 13.39 mph per 1000 rpm in 5th gear. At the 8500 rpm redline, this gives us a maximum speed of 158.86 mph.
So, without changes in the gearbox and tires, we're already WAY below the 200 mph mark, without even worrying about the engine. So, let's see what happens when we go up to a larger tire. I smell a bit of Uncle Ben, so I think I'll go ahead and use 18" wheels. So, with 215/35R18 tires, we end up at 162.11 mph. Hmm...still nothing.
Okay, let's do something weird. Let's throw a 3.800 final drive into this beast. With the 18" wheels and Altezza lights, we should be at 225 mph easy, right? Wrong, 187.70 mph. Well, at least we got to 180 mph - assuming you can put a 3.800 on it (not sure if this is even possible). Plus, at that drive ratio, acceleration would be...hideous at best.
To sum up, assuming one thing: the standard transmission and final drive on a MY01 Acura Integra Type-R, no amount of mods will allow you to reach 160 mph, let alone 180 or 200.
Okay, I'm done being a butthead now. If you can show us what gear ratios that 200 mph Type R is running, then we'll have something to go on.

Hmmm...I consider that improper conduct. Consider this your one and only warning (and you're lucky you're getting that...).
Jordan may see this and determine otherwords.
Actually, I may help him. Your ICQ message to me was not appreciated.
102822078: hey ***hole, what ****ing car do you have *****???
102822078: JUST WAIT TILL I POST MY RATIOS AND MODS TO PROVE YOUR JEWISH A** WRONG!!!!!!!!!
Hmm...at least you are consistent. Firstly, I'm not Jewish and would not consider it an insult if I was. It's be like calling me 'white' and meaning it as a slur...try again there, genius.
Oh, and if you really modded your car, you'd know your ratios from memory and I wouldn't need to wait.

I don't know about u but I am a DJ and I work at clubs, and I don't have much time to memorize my gear ratios. I have them written down on my Run test.
and about the message, it wasn't supposed to be appreciated cause ppl like you piss me off. But I'll prove to your **** WRX that my intgra goes 200.
And I think i would have WAY more experience working and costomizing cars, cause for 4 years I worked at a customization garage.

Polak - admit you lied and get it over with!
An Integra Type R CANNOT go 200 mph. Are you SURE you don't mean kph?
Now you will claim you were using NOS.

A whole four years?
I have the feeling that it's going to (sooner or later) come out that you were really talking about GT3...
No, actually I don't. I'm happily married, with a beautiful child. I trust people just fine, I just don't believe in BS when I hear it. And why would you join to just talk BS? Because that's what people like you do. Look, I've already decided to ban you. It's up to you on when I enforce that.

That's just the point Viper. It doesn't matter if he had 10,000 hp. The gearbox just won't do it, not to mention the final drive.

That's the joke man! He's so full of it!!!

*whew* OK...I think this has gone far enough. Since no one is willing to concede, let's just let it go. There's no point in continuing an argument that only succeeds in increased wear & tear on the ol' cardiovascular system.
But before I go....
Polak, it's one thing to "exaggerate" a bit and tell stories. It is quite another to scream and spew. I know no one else here appreciates it. Please use your words more wisely in the future.

I never said I wasn't using NOS.
I have that installed to give me a boost
I don't have it in just 4 show.

Still how'd you manage to go that fast without dropping your box or just ruining your transmission!?

OMG!!
DAM
I'm so sorry ppl.
I just tested out my car, and found out that my instrument cluster is off and I need to reconfigure my instrument cluster, dials, and RPM guages cause they showed me the wrong Numbers. I was doing with NOS 170 at the strip.
This is my bad, and I guess I owe an apology to all.
1 more thing. Does anybody know where I can get electrical outlines for my car and the instrument cluster and how to reprogram it???

I need the BS flag right now. This is also known as the "I lied and am trying to weasel my way out of it" move.

I SWEAR ON MY LIFE THAT I'M NOT LIEING.
I JUST GOT BACK FROM A DRAB STRIP AND A GARAGE, and electronic dials were messed up on the instrument cluster, so I had to go out to the dealer today and order a new one. My speeds were too fast to believe. I can do 176MP/H on my integra.
That's with boost.

Who said he was doing nautical miles per hour? Where did u get kmph?

BTW the abbreav. for nautical mph is "kts".
