Revival, you know how I am. I'm a straight up kind of guy. So please dont be offended if I shed a little light on you.....

TypeR is a chassis code, not a motor code. Simply dropping an R motor doesnt mean the car becomes "TypeR" car. It simply means that the car has an R motor, otherwise, I can just as easily say that I have an ITR since I do have a JDM ITR motor in my Teg. But I know that it is not the case.

EK9 is the civic typeR chassis code from 96-00.... JDM only. USDM never received an EK chassis. The 96-00 hatchbacks are actually EJ6. The were no CTR's made during the latter years although the EG chassis was born between 92-95, EG6 being the most popular having that B16.
