Vehicle Detail
Cliff Notes:Car currently has a built B18C1 sleeved 2.0L engine in it now. I have a the stock numbers matching block that's refreshed that will be included with factory parts of auction exceeds $11,000. Otherwise only the built engine is included. *I purchased the car from a honda-tech member in NOV of 2012 and have owned it in CA where it currently resides. Car currently has about 101K miles on it. I've taken it to about 6 trackdays and the previous owner took it to about 12.1997 Integra Type-R #0110Clean WA state title (never registered in CA)The good:• Clean Title• Straight body• No major damage• Well maintained• Comes with lots of extras, including rebuilt VIN matching B18C5 block if auction exceeds $11KThe bad:• Very small/minor scuffs on exterior• Front lip has a big crack in it, together now with a brace and ductape• Front bumper, hood & fenders replaced by previous owner after front-end collision (OEM parts)• The starter solenoid has begun to act up. Will need a new solenoid at some point. I have to tap the starter every 50 starts to get it going.• Car will need a 4 wheel alignment, it's a bit off after putting stock suspension back onStory:This is a well maintained 1997 Integra Type-R with a number of modifications, but also included (if auction reaches $11K are a majority of the OE parts required to return the car to near-stock. #0110 was purchased from the original owner in 2003 100% stock minus the JDM 16” wheels and modified Koni shocks. #0110 was my daily driver until 2005 at which point she went under the knife for a 2.0L track-car build. #0110 attended ITR Expo-5 in Omaha Nebraska in 2005, and has been a garage queen and occasional weekend car since. #0110 has attended about a dozen HPDE’s, and just about as many passes at the drag strip. I am selling #0110 because I’m just not getting the enjoyment out of her that I used to. The engine build started in 2005. The 2.0L block now has about 25,000 miles, but despite its age the engine is still strong. I touched up the tune in early June 2012 and made 233whp and 159wtq on a DynoJet, which are the highest numbers yet. Before the dyno compression was 230/250/250/240, so the engine is healthy but starting to show its age. The oil is changed every few months (~500 miles) with Mobil1 5w30 Synthetic with OEM filter (15400-PLM-A01 Filtech). Valve adjustments are performed every-other oil change. The car still has the factory equipped Air Conditioning (charged) but needs a belt and idler pulley to operate.#0110 was re-sprayed inside/outside in 2002 with DuPont Championship White paint by previous owner after a front-end collision. All work was completed at a well-known body shop with all components removed before paint, including glass. Replacement parts were all OEM from a donor car, including bumper, hood and fenders. Included with the vehicle purchase are pictures of the donor car and full receipts of the work performed. Other than the missing VIN tags on the bumper/fenders/hood, you would never know this car was in an accident. Radiator support is intact.Exterior Condition: Make no mistake, this car has been tracked. I’ve hit a few cones with the front bumper, and consequently there have been a slowly increasing number of scuffs and faint paint cracks forming on the front bumper. This damage is not noticeable from +10ft. There are a couple minor dings/chips, I know where they are and you probably won’t see them unless you look hard. Other than that, there are no dents or damage to the car. Interior Condition: Carpets are a little worn, but still in good condition for the age of the car. Seats are in okay shape, not too much wear but two cig burns on the driver side. Car was not smoked in, but i purchased used seats from another ITR that has these burns. Original seats were sold prior when recaro seats were installed. #0110 has the original badge/armrest. Non-smoker no Pets.

The cylinder head currently on the car has enlarged bores to match the 85mm block, therefore it cannot be installed on the rebuilt OEM 81mm shortblock. If the new owner wishes to install the OEM 81mm shortblock, a PR3 VTEC cylinder head will be needed. On Jul-16-14 at 11:24:36 PDT, seller added the following information: I've added two pictures of the block that's been refreshed. Also note that the license plates will not come with the car unless you are in Washington state.
