Red Front Recaro SeatsThe Integra Type R features a sleek and
aggressive design that sets it apart from its counterparts. It
sports a compact and aerodynamic body, with sharp lines and smooth
curves. The exterior is often finished in a vibrant Championship
White (paint code NH-O), which is the signature color for this
particular model. It may also feature unique Type R badging and
decals, denoting its high-performance nature. The car sits low to
the ground, further enhancing its sporty appeal.Inside the Integra
Type R, you'll find a driver-focused cabin designed for
performance. The interior teim color is officially 'red/black' due
to the front Recaro racing seats being delivered from the factory
in red. The rest of the interior is finished in a combination of
grays and blacks. The steering wheel is leather-wrapped and
provides a firm grip, while the instrument cluster is sporty and
easy to read, featuring a prominent tachometer and additional
performance gauges. The interior is simple yet functional, with a
focus on weight reduction to enhance performance.Car Cave purchased
this vehicle from an enthusiast in the Morbihan region of France.
The previous owner provided us with a well-documented history file,
service book, owner's manuals, French Type R sales brochure,
history report (similar to CarFax) and a clean technical
inspection. The records and information provided by the owner show
a full engine rebuild and clutch installed approximately 4000 miles
ago. Engine machine and build work was completed by a professional
shop named Pac Sarl in Cons La Grandville, France with receipt
provided. A full respray was performed by the previous owner and
complete mechanical review. This car arrived in superb mechanical
and cosmetic condition. The only maintenance we performed was due
to a small coolant leak in the radiator. We installed a new
battery, Mishimoto Performance Radiator with Mishimoto Dual
Electric Cooling Fans and aluminum shroud. Otherwise this Type R
was well loved by the previous owner.The engine runs superbly well
and a short throw shift kit make this Type R a joy to drive. The
odometer currently shows 129,296 kilometers but according to
documents, technical inspections, and history reports was replaced
in 2019. The chassis has approximately 142,000 miles. The gauge
cluster was replaced in 2021 due to failure of the original gauge
cluster which is common in this era of Hondas and Acuras. The
previous owner stated he was selling the vehicle due to moving and
the loss of a garage at his new house. Honda Factory Service
Records show the Integra was sold new on March 3, 1998 to a then 46

Hollenstedt, Germany. Contact us to review the service records and

the highlights of the Integra Type R is its potent engine. It is
equipped with a 1.8-liter inline-four VTEC (Variable Valve Timing
and Lift Electronic Control) engine, which produces approximately
195 horsepower and 130 lb-ft of torque. This engine is mated to a
close-ratio five-speed manual transmission, allowing for precise
and engaging shifts. The Type R's suspension is specially tuned for
improved handling, featuring stiffer springs, upgraded shocks, and
a limited-slip differential, providing exceptional cornering
abilities and a thrilling driving experience.While the focus of the
Integra Type R is primarily on performance, it still offers a few
notable features and technologies. Standard equipment includes
power windows, power mirrors, dual airbags, rear wiper, rear
defrost, and tilt steering wheel. Previous ownership has installed
a GT2i racing steering wheel and converted the horn to push button
on the dash. A short throw shifter upgrade was also completed by
the PO. Pioneer double din head unit keeps the music playing on
those exhilarating drives. However, the emphasis is on delivering a
lightweight and engaging driving experience, so creature comforts
are kept to a minimum. The previous owner disabled the ABS system
due to unknown reasons and the ABS light is on.Overall, the Integra
Type R is a legendary sports car known for its exceptional
performance, precise handling, and thrilling driving dynamics. It
remains a highly sought-after vehicle among car enthusiasts and
collectors alike, representing a pinnacle of Honda's engineering
and performance heritage.Body Data Plate Information:ST7V2 G8Year:
