I was young back then and only focused on the $$$$. Regret.

Hope this car stays together.

I'll hit up Peter Cunningham from RealTime Racing. I know he's looking for a real 97 or 98 but maybe he'd be interested in this one.

How is he trolling? Even the OP himself has clearly stated that this is an Acura Integra RS DC4, dressed up by Acura/Honda to be marketed to North America. So "strike w" is right, it's not a type R. I do agree that the car is special in its own way considering its the only RS to come that way from the factor.

I know cash is king. I just hope OP don't sell it a guy that will just strip it. I hope it goes to a guy that will preserve it, as is.

I got a "substitute" last June. But I really like this one (again, I know this statement means nothing without cash to the seller).

What's this "misconception" you're talking about? I'm curious...

It can be registered. I did go to the DMV and they said it has to get approval from CARB. I dealt with CARB for the better part of 4-5 months, in the end they provided their approval. I do have all of the paperwork to back this up.

What it is is a very rare piece of Honda history that defies classification. Who cares if it is a "real" Type R or an RS? It is more historically significant than any "real" Type R owned by anyone here.

I saw this thread a few years back but never really got too in depth with it. RPM, I just want to tell you that its a good find. What you have a piece of history, especially with many approval from OG ITR owners, HNA, Comptech employees and paper trails. I would love to purchase this car from you, but I already spent half my deployment money on my 01-0852. GLWS.

EDIT: btw i read all 17 pages, because I was interested in the thread. Skipping most of the troll posts.
