Default Integra Type R World Challenge Race Car

Check the more current, updated thread here (in the Road Race / Autocross Section) -- https://honda-tech.com/forums/road-racing-autocross-time-attack-19/speed-world-challenge-touring-car-integra-type-r-3112089/

Here is a bit of information on an Integra Type R World Challenge Touring Car we picked up.....

originally built for the SPA 24 Hour race in 2000 and then ran 2 years in the SPEED World Challenge

pretty cool stuff and a lot of pictures for your enjoyment. Has a blown engine in it currently that we plan on fixing and getting the car back up into running condition.

I like that, despite the massive amounts of modifcations to the car, it still has its original leather shifter **** : )

the ad was incorrect as far as i can tell -- from what i see it should be a 2000 model year car -- head is stamped 1999

there was no title on it, only VIN that is present is on the firewall, looks like someone in Florida at one point in time tried to get a Florida Rebuilt Title for it based on a sticker we found in the driver side door jam...but we didn't get that at all when we purchased the car -- basically sold on a bill of sale as a race car.

well the block # starting with zero means it was a new replacement block,
do you have the vin available so I can see if I have any history on the car?

Excellent buy! Wish I woulda had a chance at it first haha. With all those spares etc, that thing is a steal of a deal.

Lots of cool fab going on there. The custom intake, the brake cooling guides, the lightweight RTA's. Sure as hell a lot cheaper than trying to recreate one. I'm jealous. And let me know if you want to sell it

More information is coming out.

there is a florida rebuilt title sticker in the driver door jam...we have access to someone that could pull some information on it and they found out the car does in fact have a title (still unsure if it is clean or rebuilt, will know shortly) and is in fact still titled to Marc Hein's (company)....

we found a contact phone # and got in touch with him today...he is working with us to get the title changed over.

and more so the car is in fact a 1998 Integra Type R -- theft recovery that was purchased with the intent of turning it into a race car. During the time I guess Hein worked for Honda and around 2000 when the car was purchased and the race car build began he worked for Honda and they asked him to paint it yellow since that is what they were selling at the time...

futhermore the car was actually raced twice at the SPA 24 hour race...the 2nd time coming in 2003 (as told to us by Hein) although I haven't successfully found the results on that yet
