In the true spirit of racing, a select number of comfort and convenience features on the Integra Type R have been eliminated in an effort to minimize the vehicle's overallweight. These include items such as a sunroof, vanity mirrors, cruise control, rear window wiper/washer. Air conditioning becomes optional equipment. Other items that haTie been eliminated for weight considerations include dashboard insulator, transmission mount , drive shaft and shifter dynamic damper, and meltsheet for the floor stamping.
