I sold this shell months ago to someone in Maryland. I was going through craiglist and saw it on there. I really missed this car so I purchase it back from him. I drove from Ny to Maryland in a snow storm to pickup. Took me like 7hrs in the snow storm to get home. I am going to be doing a k24 motor swap in there.






Ive got a 95 coupe with the k swap already in it. So everything is going into the R..

 

These are leftover parts I have saved after selling the shell. I had a feeling I would be getting another integra so I kept these parts.. This is a link to my original type r rebuilt https://honda-tech.com/forums/showth...1642152&page=2

nice!! congrats

i just picked up a 97 r shell in dec and mine is getting the full k24 swap treatment as well.

get it together and come to expo this year.

 

I drove up to look at this car in December of '08 when you had it for sale. We met at a gas station. I was the guy who was asking you to consider a trade of a black EK hatchback with cash on top. Didn't buy it because I was too stuck on PY.

Did you JDM front this yourself or did the guy you sold it to do it?

 

I remember you, lol. I did the jdm front and sold it like this. He didn't even touch the car. Just parked it up and let it sit. Good to see you picked up a clean *** R......

 

Curious what you sold/paid for it? The shell.

 

Hey PM how much you want for the B motor and tranny. Does it come with exhaust manifold and dizzy. Is it all stock.

 

I was selling it for 3000 and the motor is bone stock. I'm not selling it anymore because I got the shell the original motor came out of. Even though I'm doing the k swap, I want to keep them together.

 

Strange that you parted it out in the first place, but glad it's all in one garage again. Why not put the R swap back in it? You'd have a faster hatch and an R. That's what I'd do anyways.

 

i agree..its just me but i wouldnt K swap an R...esp if you have the stock motor

 

i would sell me that B18C5 bottom end for cheap. but thats just me


lookin good, keep us updated!

 

I'm in agreement completely. No matter what you do, it's good that you have her back! Good luck with her

 

what a funny story how things end up

 

conrgrats on buying your car back, its like a jerry springer relationship

 

Congrats!!!!

 

I guess its destiny, lol. Yeah if really crazy I was looking for another integra and stumble back on my own car. I'm really glad I didn't sell the original engine with matching vins.

 

I parted out so I can sell it easier. I was offered a good amount for the shell so I sold it......

 

Too damn cold outside to do anything....

 

gl with the k build would like to do that to a db8, need the house and garage space first

 

one lucky man. it was destined

 

^ i agree.

i'd love to own a CW one day.

 

congrats "O" glad to see her back i want too see her finished up. im still shoping around

 

Nice to see the car back in your hands, i love how u still kept all the parts u had leftover. I would keep the eng/trans since u have the org. car it came out of

 

Another Ridgeline towing an R !!!!! And in the snow
Congrats on finding your R again and don't sell it this time

 

very nice
