Hi guys, I sold my 1990 civic si so Im looking at possibly buying a Type R.
I have a few questions regarding type R's.
Im looking to purchase one within the upcoming months.
I'd like ideally a 1998 or 2000, ( 2001 would do as well) in Championship white.
Is any particular year better than another ?
I want to know what should I be looking for when I have the car inspected ?
Besides looking for regular maintenance records, and accidents repaints, do type r's have any knows issues ?
I know the engines tend to burn a lil oil and such, but any other issues with a B18C5 ?

thanks

 

Were white ones sold in Canada for the 2000 model year? In the States, they only came in black or yellow in 2000-2001.

All the years are virtually identical, other than color (and age, obviously).

 

In Canada you can get white from 1997-2001.
I read 97-98 had a/c as an option ? 99-01 it was standard equipment.

 

find an 01 in CW with the red interior...there is also an 00 CW fs in this forum at the stickied post "ITR Cars FS"

 

ya. I found this one locally here..

00 came in py.

also from what i recall. 01 b18c5 came with ctr intake cam. someone can correct me if i'm wrong.

ac was not standard in 01. it was an optional equipment, can't tell any years prior to that

 

Yep, they sure do have an issue...a big issue. Very theft prone car.

 

if you're talking about american type r's, ac was standard in 00-01, not sure about 98. it was definitely optional in 97.
