1998 JDM Integra Type R

[Larry3200]

Hi all, I finally bought my dream car a few months ago and I'm completely in love! I've wanted one of these cars ever since the Gran Turismo 1 days.
My daily driver is a 2007 Honda Civic 2.2, Here's a picture of it.

Anyway onto the teg.
This is a CW 98 spec grade 4 import with only 84k on the clock, imported 18 months ago. It's a very clean shell, no rust and fully protected inside and out. Here's some pics from the advert before I picked the car up.

Mods
Carbon Fibre bonnet painted championship white
Spoon drop in filter
Spoon ecu
Mugen twin loop exhaust
Coilovers

Plans
Wheels (open to suggestions, want something different)
Decent tyres all round
4-2-1 manifold
Spoon splitter
Big brake kit
Takata harness
Hondata S300
Carbon intake scoop
Short shifter
Gold beaks bar w/ function 7 LCAs
Wheel refurb


Got the car home and gave it a good clean and wax, shines up really well!




I recently lowered the coilovers a bit more, sits perfect now!

Seen a gorgeous RX7 in Belfast recently, couldn't resist a picture.

My mate got his camera out and took a few photos of me cleaning the car, came out pretty well.

So far I have replaced the rear Honda badge for a genuine new one, replaced the clutch for a stage 2 carbon kevlar job, changed the timing belt and gave her a service.

Hope you like it!
Cheers

That looks like a nice clean example and low miles.
I have always loved these. Getting harder to find a genuine example which hasn't been abused.

Looks lovely, Make sure it has a good alarm and don't let it leave your sight.

 

[PeteMoore]

Very nice sounds like a good example! What manifold are you thinking of putting on?

 

[MarcVtec]

See this quite a bit actually took a picture of it the other week on my break lol. Looks a real good one mate enjoy it.

Hard to beat a JDM teg

Would look well with a square front number plate and the wheels all spaced out...

 

[Jonny1992]

scrap lol jk you know i think its awesome

Leave the wheels as they are! 98 Spec wheels are perfect for a DC2. HEalth to tec

 

[nobby]

Very nice car and all the best; and agree with above post leave the wheels as they are

 

[cormac81]

I really like the civic, any more pictures of it?

 

[Larry3200]

Cheers guys, I plan on keeping the wheels quite a while anyway and I actually have spacers here to put on, just when I can be bothered haha.

Not sure yet mate, I'm still carrying out a bit of research on which would be best for the car - won't be buying one until September as I've a few other things that need sorted first. Open to suggestions on the manifold though.

[MarcVtec]

Aye mate work down there myself and thought that just didn't want to say lol. Just the right time of year for a dc2 too

It's years since I looked but I remember the standard 98spec manifold being very hard to better, think TODA and a few others made a bit more horsepower.

mint dc2 use to see it a lot around west Belfast direction goes well too

 

[Modmedia]

Lovely car. I really really wouldn't change the wheels at all. Keep these looking standard-ish on the outside is the way forward!

 

[Larry3200]

So one of my biggest pet peeves with the car was the inevitably cloudy headlights. The paintwork was also quite flat in some places so I had the headlights restored and had the whole car buffed and waxed. Really happy with how it came up, looks like brand new!

As I have a couple of upcoming shows, I'm getting the wheels refurbished next week along with clear side repeaters, smaller front plate and a spoon front lip.

Small update

The integra had an indoor spot at JCC in titanic exhibition centre on sunday, had a couple of things sorted on the car in time for the show.

Sparco steering wheel
Wheel refurb
Splitter respray
New front & rear plates
15mm spacers behind the rear wheels
As well as a clean inside and out

Here's a couple of pics nabbed from facebook as well as a couple I took myself
