This car is being offered for sale again, after being off the market for over a year. Please try to have your funding in place before saying you would like to buy the car.

Thanks,

Tom


I am offering for sale a 1998 Acura Integra Type R that has been extensively modified. Very high quality parts have been used throughout the car in the areas that have been upgraded. The car has a fully built 2.0L racing engine (designed for road course use), modified suspension, and brakes (the seats and other safety equipment were installed to SCCA specifications). The engine, and all modifications to this car were done by LDL Speed Shop in Las Vegas, Nevada.

With some custom fabrication, we also were able to retain the air conditioning, despite the big tube DTR-FAB (Six-Sigma Racing) header. Every effort was taken to retain a clean “finished” look for the interior, even though it has been completely redone. The front and rear seats and rear seat brackets were removed, along with the ITR center console. The door panels were also customized by an auto interior shop to allow for the size of the racing seat upper bolsters.

Sparco EVO XL racing seats, Sparco/Schroth 5 point harnesses, a padded Autopower roll bar, new custom fit rear carpeting, and a JDM ITR e-brake center console replacement were installed. I have included pictures of the interior from different angles. The Stereo/CD player, power windows, heater, A/C, keyless entry, and alarm all work perfectly. Unfortunately the car is too loud to listen to the stereo though, due to the Burns Stainless TIG welded custom 3” exhaust. Lol!

The LDL built racing engine has less than 3,500 miles on a complete rebuild, and the chassis has 70,000 miles. The exterior of the car looks as if it were new. I have $25k+ invested in this car, over and above the original cost of the car. Receipts can be provided to the new owner.

The WORK RSZ-R 15”x 7”+43 offset rims are mint, except the stickers have been removed, and the Nitto NT-01s are almost new. Here is a component list, with accompanying photos:

Extras:

There are also two Acura OEM Integra Type R nose masks in perfect condition that come with the car, and also a cut and polished valve cover w/ HPC oil shedding coating. This car has to be seen to be appreciated; the paint has had a color sand and polish, and it gets routine applications of Zymol. The paint is as smooth as glass. This is a show quality car that is also very fast around the track with the right driver. A California/Nevada owned car since new; means it has absolutely no rust. The car originally produced 234whp on the Mustang Sport Compact Dyno at LDL Speed Shop.


Price lowered to: $15,000 Firm

RTRagain

seen this car in person. well taken care of. bump for a fellow vegas guy. He hasnt even posted it for sale in local forums. probably because he knows he'll get low balled to death. haha

Tomcat

Thanks for the comment, and the bump. Ha-ha no, the majority of the Vegas guys are not that disrespectful; I just wouldn't get any offers on the car. There is just no market for this car in LV. The prime markets for this car are people involved in the California show-and-go import scene. You see cars built to this level at the Eibach meets and the Nisei Week meets. Honda-Tech Marketplace is probably the best source for cars like this; for both the buyer and seller.

Tomcat

Shameless bump...

Ek600RR

very nice... wish i had the $$$

Notorious92rhdEG

sick... bump for you

Tomcat

Thank you for the comments gentlemen. I do hope that whoever buys this car is able to appreciate the significant effort and money that went into the development of this car. The car is fully sorted for track-day use; right down to the camber and toe settings.

Tomcat

I no longer think this car is going sell to on this message board; but I thought I would give it a try. The cars that seem to move the best on here are in the 3-8K price range.

bump g/l though. Clean

Tomcat

Thanks. I have never seen the car market this bad. I currently have a reasonably priced NSX for sale as well that has generated allot of interest from people. But they either can't get financing, or can't come up with the minimum 20% down that lenders are now requiring for used car loans.

Tomcat

Price lowered by another $1,000!!

Tomcat

Yet another $1,000 price drop!! Price is now $18,000!

Tomcat

overdue bump...

Tomcat

Bump...from page 1,598,948,045 to page 1!!

Tomcat

7th day bump...

Added some more photos as well...

Tomcat

A little bump after seventeen days is good for the soul...

I have NO problem saying that,

This is HANDS DOWN the cleanest R I have ever seen. Purpose built and simply gorgeous. You deserve every penny you request.
