Now that you have seen the facts and the retail price of a stock Type R we come to mine.

You already know the Type R is a special automobile. But what make this one different from all the rest?

1. Special Treatment:
• This car has always been garage kept.
• It is a one-owner car.
• The vehicle has been exclusively maintained by Honda of North America and ProMotion Motorsports.
• I have pampered this car. Even though it has seen some race use, it was extremely well prepared and protected. When I raced Pikes Peak I installed rock shields and linings to protect the paint.
• I regularly wax the vehicle using Meguiare’s car care products.
• The vehicle is always hand washed!

2. A Special Life:
• This vehicle is the only Acura to have raced at Pikes Peak Hill Climb!
• It placed 1st in the 2wd Class in the 2000 Pikes Peak Hill Climb!
• This vehicle also completed the One Lap of America.

3. Special Publicity:
• My Type R has been in the following magazines:
o Sport Compact Car
o Grassroots Motorsports
o Super Street
o Car and Driver
o Sport Car
o Velocity Magazine
o Honda Tuning
• It also has been featured in:
o Acura’s official Calendar in 2000
o Acura’s official Calendar in 2001
o Acura’s Ad Campaign

4. Special Tuning:
This vehicle is not some “over-the-top” Turbo-charged, slammed, about to implode or explode vehicle. We have refined and tuned this vehicle to be a perfectly balanced machine. I am sure you have reviewed the list of items the vehicle has been fitted with. My goals were to build a vehicle that will still be under the factory warranty, while raising the performance level of the vehicle by 20-25 percent.
There are many parts on this vehicle that I describe as transparent. Meaning, to the untrained eye they are never noticed. But they all work together to make the vehicle a better overall driving experience.

So then why am I selling it? Too many projects! I currently have three vehicles, so I decided to sell the Type R since the others are incomplete projects.

How much am I selling it for?

I have gone through and listed all the items that are on the vehicle. All the items you see here will be included at the time of sale. As you know ebay.com is a great place to sell and buy used auto parts. As such I have done the research of what each of the items on the car can easily be sold for on e-bay. After compiling the list I devised a fair method of 10% discount to estimate the price. Keep in mind that not only does this vehicle have professionally installed equipment, but it also has a factory warranty on all factory parts. Add to this the historical value of the car and the price becomes a true value!

SELLING PRICE --- $27,174.60
Many of you have sent me emails and personal messages inquiring the amount that the reserve is for my ebay auction. As you know this amount is the reality of the lowest amount of money I am willing to accept for my vehicle.

As such the reserve is set at $23,750!!!! Yes, the ebay.com buy now is still $27,174.60. But I felt a low reserve would allow the opportunity for the vehicle to be sold in a shorter period of time.

Additional Information:

I purchased the vehicle brand new from Gettel Acura in Sarasota, FL. I pre-ordered the vehicle three months in advance. Upon arriving at the dealer, it came directly off the truck into the showroom. It sat on the showroom floor while I was away on business. When I took delivery of the vehicle it went directly to my garage. Originally I had no intentions of modifying the Type R. As many of you know it is more than capable in stock form. I wanted to keep it forever.

My situation changed, and so did the Type R. In 1999, my Pikes Peak race car, a Honda Civic was totaled in a non-racing transport accident. This caused me to rethink the future of the Type R. After reviewing the rules for the Pikes Peak Hill Climb, we decided only one vehicle was capable of winning the 2wd class. That vehicle was the Type R, and it was in my garage! Not wanting to harm my Type R in any way, we painstakingly prepared it so that it not only could compete at Pikes Peak, but also win. All-the-while we made sure that the vehicle could easily be used on the street and be kept in perfect condition. Hence, this vehicle despite its use on Pikes Peak is in much better shape than the majority of similarly aged vehicles. It is constantly kept in the garage!

I invite any who are genuinely interested in the vehicle to come and view the shape that it is in. Many who have seen it are always amazed that this exact vehicle raced Pikes Peak – and is this clean!

Oh, what about the Type R mechanically? Only one year ago, I purchased from Honda of North America many new items! Why? I was building my Honda Civic that won Pikes Peak in 2002. We had stripped the Type R to build the Civic race car. So when the new parts arrived the Type R benefited.
Which items where these?

 New ITR Head
 New ITR Front and Rear Brakes
 New ITR Front and Rear Suspension – all points
 New ITR Front and Rear Sway bars – and bushings
 New ITR Muffler
 New ITR Power Steering
 New ITR Engine Mounts
 New ITR Shift Linkage
 New ITR Engine Wiring Harness
 New ITR Distributor
 New ITR Starter
 New ITR Throttle body
 New ITR oversized pistons – stock vin number block
 New ITR head gasket and gasket kit
 New Header
 New Exhaust

I am sure I have forgotten some things. Either way, you can see how the majority of the items on the vehicle are new. Think about this: all moving parts on the vehicle are only one year old! On top of that this vehicle still is under warranty for the majority of its components.

To sum it up, you are purchasing: A piece of Honda’s history that also happens to be one of the finest Type R’s in the country, if not the world. It is world-famous, appearing in countless magazines and calendars. It has performance that exceeds that of the stock Type R, while retaining the security of factory reliability. But you knew all that. So why not just own it and get to driving!

Damn dude, after all this car has been through your crazy. I had the Acura Calendar last year with your car in it... I thought that was pretty cool.
I rode with Blake about a year ago at Roebling Road in his Arrr. This was before he pimped it out with all the brand new factory ITR goodies. I dont even know what to say about the car... and now with a Spoon tranny! Basically, this is a sick *** car with some serious history and I think your dumb to sell it

Yeah the article in GRM was very nicely put together! I have to thank David Wallens for that. He's a great guy, and a honda fan!
That was back when I had the race seats in. Now I have the more usable and very comfortable Recaro's. I love them!

sweet looking R. Good luck selling it. Bump for you.

Why exactly are you selling it. Budump.

ppihctyper

Simply - time vs. money.

I am working on building an all-wheel drive Integra. The money from this vehicle will help construct this secondary project. I felt that selling the vehicle while still under warranty and in great condition, with low-mileage would be a wise move.

Although, I'd rather not.

Thanks for the interest.
