Default 1998 Type R #142 -- The first 100,000 miles

While I reached a milestone in my life yesterday by passing my WI state real estate salesperson exam, my car also reached it's own milestone. On my way to the testing center, 1998 King Motorsports/Mugen Integra Type R #142 turned 100,000 miles.



I remember reading about the car when it was featured in Car and Driver Magazine and Sport Compact Car back in April of 2000. Never in a million years did I ever think I would own a Type R, let alone that one!




Back in July of 2002, I came across this thread, finding out that it was for sale. Being a friend Clayton's, I called him up and told him I was interested. Over a weekend at Road America we struck a deal and the car was to be mine!
Here's a few pics from that weekend of my old car and the ITR soon to be mine:




I have had an absolute blast with the car so far, and look forward to having a lot more fun with it in the years to come. I've also met a lot of great people since I got the car, and hope to meet more in the future.

Congratulations Mike!

I've got another 27K miles to go on #151 before I reach the 100K mile mark in an ITR (again, #236 had 138K at its untimely demise).

Also, best wishes in the realestate market.

Congratulations Mike! I still remember my ride to the Chicago meet in your car a few years back – fun trip. Here are some pics, from your camera.






Look who's sporting the yellow and blue.

I remember reading about this car in an old sport compact car. They were modding all the new cars of 2000 I believe. Congratulations
