Hi.

I thought it could be interesting to present my new car here on H-T.

I live in Kristiansund, a small town in Norway, and am a member of the norwegian honda owners club.

Last weekend I went up north to Bodo and picked up a CW Integra type R. It was imported from Germany in may 2006, and has today been driven 113 500 km's. The car seems really tight and is a dream to drive!
It is in 100% original shape, and it will continue to look like honda made it!
I got it cheap because of a leak on cylinder 2 and 4, as the piston rings are worn. Anyways, I drove it around 800 km when i picked it up, and still has not used more than maybe half a litre of oil. Much likely this is because of winter conditions, and therefore no high-revving.

My plans for the car:
- Box new b18c6 longblock
- New clutch
- Tranny check, change syncros
- Exhaust
- Mugen airbox
- Polish!
- New main bushings
- Rear towerbar
- Amber corners
- New wheels? Unsure, as i really like the oem enkei rims.
- Remove the tint-film from the rear windows!

Here is a pic, it has been really cold outside, so the car is not clean at all.
15" raceline rims with winter-tyres.

And Welcome to the club.

 

DiRRRRRRRRty...

 

Nice R man. You have a ways to go before you can match the dirtiness of my car though . Enjoy!

 

hello fellow viking
keep it safe and maybe give it som TLC with water and soap. then come back with more photos

 

The weather was nice today, so I went for a trip over "Atlanterhavsveien"/ The atlantic ocean way, which is a tourist spot nearby with lots of small islands and bridges...

Took a few photos, really wish my camera and skills were better. And that the car didn't get so dirty on winter conditions...
The spot was really nice at least, and it shows that the car has been driven

 

 

Welcome aboard okken, looks to be a great pick up. Good luck in refreshing her, and getting through that Norweigan winter.

Forza Rosenborg!

 

Wow nice one.I like those tail lights for some reason and the fog L.I didnt know they put # plates on r's in countrys other than USA.Does anyone know if they did this on UK R's?
P.S. that bridge in your pic looks crazy!

 

is that a dead end bridge? looks like a high drop off into the lake lol

I wish i could let go and just get my R dirty and not care... who knows some day i may ..

 

hehe, it is not easy to keep it nice and clean under winter conditions here.
That bridge is well known in norway, and in europe, this road was a toll/pay road and was planned to be a toll road for 15 years. But it got so much attention from european ( German ) tourists, so the whole deal was finished in 7 years.

The bridge is spectacular, it is a turn, and it has quite a stiff elevation...

A few pics:






not many hondas on the pics :/

so, a bad pic of some nice seats..very nice side support! and another of the car

Thanks, like the tail of my R very well myself.
It is an EDM one, came with these lights, and the fog lights, and every one of them was numbered. I don't know UK ones myself, but i guess they were numbered as well..

 

Where is that bridge? That's just nuts. It looks like the bridge to the heavens or something!

 

it's between cities kristiansund and molde on the west coast of norway..
Nice engineering!
