1998 Silver Honda Integra Type R - REAL - RARE - RHD
This 1998 Real RHD Silver Type R is arguably the rarest R in the US and she is for sale! I have owned this car for almost 2 years now and it has been an amazing experience. The car is legally registered under the 10 digit Japanese VIN and I have full coverage insurance on it. It is finally time to let her go to someone else as I will be purchasing a new home this year. I'm in no hurry to sell it and DO NOT want any trades. I would love to see her go to a good home!
History:
It was originally owned by a HT member who was a Honda mechanic and he kept up with the maintenance. To my understanding, he owned the car from 2004 to about 2007. He registered the vehicle and attained a US Idaho title for the car. It was sold with roughly 119KM to another HT member in Ohio. He owned the car from 2007 until 2013 when I bought it from him. He put on about 52KM on the clock so I purchased it with roughly about 113,000 miles. I flew out to Ohio and we completed the transaction at the bank. He was very nice and accommodated me with the transaction. With a huge smile on my face, I drove the car home 17 hours to Texas. Over 1200 miles and 2 days later, I was home. That trip alone should attest to the condition of the motor but she runs and drives perfectly. No leaks, smoke, or concerns with her. Again I have owned the car since July 2013 and put about 3,500 - 4,000 miles on the car. After the long road trip from Ohio, I drove down to Houston and back in 1 day ( 8 hour trip ) with zero issues. I also went to see a friend in Tyler Texas which was about a 5 hour round trip with zero issues. I would trust this car from Texas to NY.

Full Disclosure / Disclaimer:
* My understanding is that most of the car was repainted the OEM color due to original shipping scuffs and scratches by the 1st US owner in 2004/2005.
* Car has a USDM rear bumper - previous owner ( 2nd US owner ) was rear ended while parked and miscommunication with the body shop resulted in the USDM bumper. Original Hatch and Glass but the tail lights were replaced along with the ITR trunk pillar and bumper.
* Car has some paint chips on the front end bumper / lip - 1 scrape in the clear coat on the drivers A-Pillar.
* Before the bickering back and forth about JDM cars, please do your own research and homework. This car has never been a daily driver nor would I ever recommend that to anyone. Too many bad drivers on the road and it would be a shame to lose this car in rush hour traffic due to someones negligence.
Price: $18,000
* Serious buyers only please send me a PM. Please do not waste my time inquiring about the car for more details if you are not a serious buyer. I have it stored away and will also refuse the right to sell it to just anyone. If I sense that you are wasting my time, I will simply stop replying to you. Please do not tell me to hold the car unless you are leaving me a sizable non refundable down payment up front. The car will be sold as is with no implied warranty.
* Once the weather clears up, I will take more detailed pictures for all interested parties. Feel free to ask me any questions and please keep this thread clean. I feel like the online forums have gone down the drain over the last few years and don't want to PM a mod to clean it up. Thank you for all those interested and lets find her a new home.

Do you have the NHTSA, EPA and US customs documentation? If not, do you have the name of the registered importer who brought the car into us compliance? I'd be interested in purchasing this but would be afraid of the federal government confiscating it.

Nobody will come looking for you or seize your car, the people who say that are stuck in 2002 when gtrs were getting crushed, nobody will ever say anything or notice a thing
. P.S, you will get props everywhere you go and much more, seeing a regular integra is one thing but when you see a REAL Type R on the road, it turns heads BIG TIME!

Re: 1998 Silver Honda Integra Type R - REAL - RARE - RHD
Very interested! But before I make the trip from Georgia, do you have any more interior, motor, under the car, or dash pictures? Also is the title clean or is it salvage or anything? Thanks

Nice car. Just because it's legally registered by the state doesn't mean ICE won't come knocking at your door one day.
If it's not 25+ years old or has an approved show or display waiver the feds can come take it at any time. Will they find out about it? Maybe not. It's a crap shoot at best.

18k!??
Wasn't this car posted a while back at a much lesser price Or brought down on price? I don't think there's another itr like this one out in the U.S. For sale... I might be mistaken but looks just like it....
