I am interested in buying a nice, clean, properly maintained, lower mileage Integra Type R as a fun project car. I would consider any vintage and prefer Championship White. If any of you know of such a car for sale please let me know, I would be forever grateful. Has anyone previously owned one ? I would love to have any feedback on your experiences. Are there any proprietary Type R sites out there ? I couldn't find any. Regards, Brady

 

I think Tommygunns has one.

 

Yep, Tommy has one and he's thinking S2000, so give him a PM. He's moving to Edmonton though so you might wanna get on it while the car is still here.

 

Southview Acura had one and may still. I think its an '01 with around 40k that they're asking 26ish for.

 

just get one JDM DC5-R imported for Track Use only

 

I have one but it is not in prestine condition (as far as asthetics)

It now has 105K. Mechanically it is in awesome condition. New clutch, new brakes, new timing belt, etc.

All regular maintenance done by me (fluids, valve adjustments, brakes, etc.)

But I didn't know I was selling it

 

For the right price, I'd sell you my mother. She is a virgin!

 

That is true.

My car would make an awesome race car. As it stands now, it is barely tollerable on the streets.

 

Tommy, have you done extensive mods to your Type R ? What year is your car ? I am trying to dig up as much info on these cars as possible. Regards, Brady

 

I had a 97 ITR that I bought new to run in Solo 1...I gutted it from the front seats back, installed a custom 4-point roll bar and harnesses and Momo wheel. Put a Mugen header and catback exhaust on it, and Mugen antiroll bars. I owned and ran it in SS CD until 2000, when I sold it to Gary Ledbetter who ran it in Solo 1 (believe he might have run Solo II as well) until it was stolen...it was the semi-stripped car sitting at Silverhill for a number of months in 2002.

It was a great car, and very reliable, but years of running it bloody hard had turned it into a bit of a buzz-box (at 36k, with the top up, my s2000 is bad and getting worse)...like any stock Honda run agressively on the track, brakes are the weak point (given the mods I had already done, swapping in bigger brakes would have bumped me up to Modified).

IMO, without a ton of additional mods it can make a fun GT3 car...but to be really competitive is foolishly expensive. Rick Chandler (a sales guy) at Silverhill spent a lot of time and cash building and running his, and outside of club races here it was outclassed by any number of tube-frame rear-drive cars.
