Cliff Notes:
Car currently has a built B18C1 sleeved 2.0L engine in it now.  I have a the stock numbers matching block that's refreshed that will be included with factory parts of auction exceeds $11,000.  Otherwise only the built engine is included. 

*I purchased the car from a honda-tech member in NOV of 2012 and have owned it in CA where it currently resides. Car currently has about 101K miles on it. I've taken it to about 6 trackdays and the previous owner took it to about 12.

1997 Integra Type-R #0110
Clean WA state title (never registered in CA)

The good:
• Clean Title
• Straight body
• No major damage
• Well maintained
• Comes with lots of extras, including rebuilt VIN matching B18C5 block if auction exceeds $11K

The bad:
• Very small/minor  scuffs on exterior
• Front lip has a big crack in it, together now with a brace and ductape
• Front bumper, hood & fenders replaced by previous owner after front-end collision (OEM parts)
• The starter solenoid has begun to act up.  Will need a new solenoid at some point.  I have to tap the starter every 50 starts to get it going.
• Car will need a 4 wheel alignment, it's a bit off after putting stock suspension back on

Story:

This is a well maintained 1997 Integra Type-R with a number of modifications, but also included (if auction reaches $11K are a majority of the OE parts required to return the car to near-stock. 

#0110 was purchased from the original owner in 2003 100% stock minus the JDM 16” wheels and modified Koni shocks. #0110 was my daily driver until 2005 at which point she went under the knife for a 2.0L track-car build. #0110 attended ITR Expo-5 in Omaha Nebraska in 2005, and has been a garage queen and occasional weekend car since. #0110 has attended about a dozen HPDE’s, and just about as many passes at the drag strip. I am selling #0110 because I’m just not getting the enjoyment out of her that I used to. 

The engine build started in 2005. The 2.0L block now has about 25,000 miles, but despite its age the engine is still strong. I touched up the tune in early June 2012 and made 233whp and 159wtq on a DynoJet, which are the highest numbers yet. Before the dyno compression was 230/250/250/240, so the engine is healthy but starting to show its age. The oil is changed every few months (~500 miles) with Mobil1 5w30 Synthetic with OEM filter (15400-PLM-A01 Filtech). Valve adjustments are performed every-other oil change. 

The car still has the factory equipped Air Conditioning (charged) but needs a belt and idler pulley to operate.

#0110 was re-sprayed inside/outside in 2002 with DuPont Championship White paint by previous owner after a front-end collision. All work was completed at a well-known body shop with all components removed before paint, including glass. Replacement parts were all OEM from a donor car, including bumper, hood and fenders. Included with the vehicle purchase are pictures of the donor car and full receipts of the work performed. Other than the missing VIN tags on the bumper/fenders/hood, you would never know this car was in an accident.  Radiator support is intact.

Exterior Condition: Make no mistake, this car has been tracked. I’ve hit a few cones with the front bumper, and consequently there have been a slowly increasing number of scuffs and faint paint cracks forming on the front bumper. This damage is not noticeable from +10ft. There are a couple minor dings/chips, I know where they are and you probably won’t see them unless you look hard. Other than that, there are no dents or damage to the car. 

Interior Condition: Carpets are a little worn, but still in good condition for the age of the car. Seats are in okay shape, not too much wear but two cig burns on the driver side.  Car was not smoked in, but i purchased used seats from another ITR that has these burns.  Original seats were sold prior when recaro seats were installed.  #0110 has the original badge/armrest. Non-smoker no Pets.

Acura teases 17 seconds of the NSX on Vine and Instagram

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

Acura won't roll out the prototype NSX until August 4 when it shows up at Mid-Ohio Raceway for the Honda 200 IndyCar race, and the genuine production car isn't scheduled to arrive until 2015. Acura will, though, make the car a Vine and Instagram video star with snippets of the mid-engined roarer lapping the test track in both the dry and the wet.
After unleashing a six-second loop on Twitter's video service yesterday, it gave fans a bit more by uploading a nine-second clip on Instagram of the coupe throwing up rooster tails and sliding around bends. Best of all is the sound - it's like no Acura you've ever heard outside of a race track. You can check out both videos below.

Acura Type S Concept debuts as a stunning four-door sedan

Tue, Aug 13 2019

Acura is bringing the Type S badge back with authority. While the Acura Type S Concept is, as its name implies, a concept, it looks and sounds a lot more like a design preview for the next-gen TLX in Type S flavor. Acura says it will debut two Type S performance variants within the next two years. The first will be the TLX, and our guess would be that an RDX Type S will follow. But let’s dive into what Acura has given us today. From the company: Β“The Type S Concept sets the stage for re-introducing Type S performance variants to the Acura line-up after a decade hiatus, and will heavily influence the character of the upcoming, second-generation TLX Type S.Β” If you were hoping for a design and powertrain preview, weΒ’re sad to report that Acura is not using this opportunity to showcase the engine coming to the TLX Type S. Not all is lost when it comes to mechanical details, though. This concept rides on 285-width summer tires on all four corners, which is positively huge for an Acura sedan. Four-piston yellow Brembo brake calipers are used, shining brightly through 21-inch wheels. Instead of the fake vents all over the Civic Type R, Acura says the venting and grille space up front is functional, allowing air to get through to the Β“high-performance engine and brake package.Β” Though again, we donΒ’t know what that high-performance engine will be just yet. Just like other Acura concepts of late, this one is a real looker. Its LED lights in front and back signal a new style for Acura that it calls Β“Chicane.Β” While the headlights may look a lot like those on the NSX, this fixture debuts the automaker's new four-lamp Β“Jewel EyeΒ” LEDs. Instead of squares, we get rectangular eyes, and they look even cooler than before. YouΒ’ll also notice a bunch of elements scattered throughout that look a little bit like carbon fiber. Acura says itΒ’s forged carbon, and itΒ’s visible on the front splitter, along the front vents, side sills, wheels, rear spoiler and rear diffuser area. While not as flashy as glossy carbon fiber, it looks cool in the photos weΒ’re scrutinizing here. The stunning blue paint is also special. Acura calls it Β“Double Apex Blue Pearl,Β” and it uses nano pigments and a color-infused clear coat to enhance the appearance. The hue pays homage to the blue TL Type S offered in the 2007 and 2008 model years.

First 2022 Acura NSX Type S sells for over $1 million

Mon, Aug 16 2021

In the same week that the 2022 Acura NSX Type S was revealed, the very first build slot was sold by Mecum at the company's auction in Monterey, Calif. Rights to the first one off the line went for $1.1 million. Compared to the base price of $171,495, that's a pretty huge markup. And adding the $13,000 lightweight package, should the owner choose to do so, doesn't close the gap much. But the right to say you have the first can go a long way. There was also the fact that the car was auctioned for charity. Proceeds will go to send STEM education activity kits put together by COSI, the Center of Science and Industry in Columbus, Ohio. It's a fitting charity considering the high-tech nature of the car and the fact that it's built in Marysville, Ohio, not too far from Columbus. And as a quick refresher, the NSX Type S is the most powerful NSX ever created, making 600 horsepower and 492 pound-feet of torque. It has revised styling, too, and only 350 will be built for the world. Related video:
