2000 Acura Integra Type R Hatchback 3-door 1.8l on 2040-cars
Richmond, British Columbia, Canada
|
Well here it is. My pride & joy - An extremely rare example of a Canadian Spec, 99% Stock, Original, Unmolested & Immaculate example of a year 2000 Acura Integra Type R with a seaminglessly put together JDM front end. Championship White Acura Integra Type R # 2000-1041 to be exact. This Car has it all - MATCHING VIN NUMBERS ON ALL PANELS, ORIGINAL PAINT, ORIGINAL STOCK ENGINE. NO THEFT, NO ACCIDENTS. Interior & Exterior wise it is a 9 / 10 Besides a little bit of fade in the colour of the seats, trunk carpet blemish, and a little bit of side bolster wear on the front seats - the interior is like new. Please note that this car does not have air conditioning. Its a true to its roots Type R : ) The same can be said for the paint. It is BUTTERY SMOOTH. A couple dents on the roof of the car as well as a couple door dents from careless parkers, it is hard to believe that the paint is almost 15 years old. A couple superficial scratches here and there, but nothing that a good cut polish cannot get rid of. The JDM front is also professionally done. Absolutely no corners were taken for the swap and it clearly shows. The headlights are the JDM HID version as well. There is however a small rock chip on the driver side bottom windshield. It is about the size of a nickel. The ONLY aftermarket parts on this car are - Alarm ( 2 fobs and 2 original acura keys included) Skunk 2 aluminum radiator JVC mp3 CD player ( I do not have the stock radio, but they can be found on ebay for cheap) There is a spoon sticker that is stuck onto the valve cover. The hatch release button has been disabled to prevent break ins. The hood release latch has been repositioned to the passenger side footwell to prevent engine tampering. Both of the above can be easily reverted back to OEM spec. Mechanically, this Type R drives like new. Car pulls real strong. When v-tec hits, its heavenly. Sure it burns a little bit of oil, but all B18's do. This car has been meticulously maintained. Parts were changed far sooner then scheduled maintenance. Nothing but the best fluids for this car. 94 octane throughout its life. Now for the history of this car - Originally bought used with 6,000km by my brother in law back in 2001 from Dondocksteader Subaru. He was the one who performed the JDM front end conversion. Did I also mention he is the owner of www.ahmautomotive.ca ? He cared for the car until 2007 when he traded it in to Autowest BMW for a 2007 BMW M coupe. Some time after that the car switched to a couple owners, all of which kept this car in stock form, accident free, and mechanically sound. When I purchased it, I brought back his first love to his shop for an entire pre purchase inspection. He was speechless. Needless to say, the car passed with flying colours. The only attention this car needs is the front brakes. They have about 15% life left in them. Both rotors & pads will need to be replaced soon. Tires are grippy yokohoma s-drives. The fronts are new, and the rears are at 70%. Slight vibration in the steering wheel due to stiff engine mounts (this was installed back in 2007 by my brother in law). I think the pictures speaks for the car. It took me a long time to find a perfect, unmolested Type R, and as it is getting older & wiser, these cars are turning into collectors items. Anyone who owns them now, tend to keep them forever. Many car enthusiasts are calling it a modern-classic masterpiece that will surely appreciate in value. In my opinion, this is the greatest car that Honda has ever produced. (second to the NSX of course). Bid with confidence. *Please note that all buyers outside of Canada are responsible for importing duties, fee's and paperwork. I will meet and/or communicate with the shipper & logistics company of your choice* I am experiencing sellers remorse on this car. The ONLY reason I am selling now is to help fund my all time favourite dream car - My cousins 1997 993 Turbo which he is willing to sell to me. I'm selling this collectors item, along with another rare unicorn + my beloved motorcycle for this dream. Please also note that if the winning bidder is paying the $2,000 deposit via pay pal. Please kindly add on 3%. Happy Bidding! |

2022 Acura NSX Type S is revealed as the most powerful NSX ever
Fri, Aug 13 2021The 2022 Acura NSX Type S is here, and it's the most impressive NSX the company has created. It now makes 600 horsepower and 492 pound-feet of torque, increases of 27 ponies and 16 pound-feet. But that's only the tip of the many little changes Acura has done to make this the ultimate NSX. Gaining that extra power involved quite a few little changes. The engine now gets larger turbochargers borrowed from the GT3 race car. The various intakes have been changed for improved cooling and airflow. The main front grille has been enlarged to allow more air into the radiators, and the outboard grilles now feature ducting for air curtains that help direct air to the side intakes. Those intakes feed more efficient intercoolers. The batteries even feature greater capacity. Power isn't the only area to receive upgrades. The Type S gets a carbon fiber roof for slightly less weight and a lower center of gravity. The aerodynamics have been tweaked with a new carbon fiber splitter, side skirts, rear spoiler and a GT3 race car-inspired rear diffuser, all of which help with downforce. The adjustable suspension, all-wheel-drive system and transmission have all been retuned for sportier driving. The latter shifts faster now and has a Rapid Downshift mode that allows you to shift to the lowest possible gear with one half-second paddle pull. Even the tires are stickier Pirelli P-Zeroes designed specifically for the NSX Type S. All of these improvements mean that the Type S is a full two seconds faster around Suzuka than a regular NSX. And if you need just that little bit more in the performance department, there is a Lightweight Package. It costs an extra $13,000 and adds carbon ceramic brakes, a carbon fiber engine cover and carbon fiber interior parts. Total weight savings is 58 pounds. Acura did pay some attention to styling, too. On top of the more aggressive aerodynamic bits, the grille has a new shape that has hints of the corporate pentagonal grille. The grille mesh is even steel instead of plastic now. The lights get dark lenses, and all the badging, mirrors and door handles are finished in black. Type S decals adorn the rear fenders. Inside, there's an Alcantara headliner and NSX and Type S logos embroidered in the seats and dashboard. One of the cars in the gallery at top is painted in an exclusive Gotham Gray matte metallic color, which will only be applied to 70 cars.
Acura RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD set for LA debut
Fri, 01 Nov 2013Acura has announced that it will be showing the production version of the RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. You'll recall that the standard 3.5-liter V6-powered RLX has been on sale for some time, and that our review of Acura's flagship sedan was mixed. On paper, at least, the RLX Sport Hybrid SH-AWD should fare better.
Sporting a similar hybrid powertrain to the one expected to motivate the NSX supercar, the RLX uses a 3.5-liter V6 paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and a trio of electric motors to generate 377 horsepower, net a combined fuel economy of 30 miles per gallon and offer the security and performance of torque-vectoring all-wheel drive.
The RLX will hit the LA stand on November 20. Scroll down for the full press release from Acura.
2015 Acura TLX confirmed for New York debut
Wed, 19 Mar 2014Acura has announced that the 2014 New York Auto Show will see the arrival of the production TLX - the sedan that will replace both the TL and TSX in the company's lineup. The TLX was already previewed at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show as a near-production concept model, meaning we already have a very solid idea of what the 2015 model will look like.
What we didn't know, was that Acura has finally gotten on board with some advanced powertrains, rather than just plucking stuff from the Honda parts bin. Okay, that's kind of a lie. We've seen both of the TLX's engines in previous Honda products - a 2.4-liter, VTEC four-cylinder and a 3.5-liter VTEC V6 from the Civic Si and Accord, respectively - but the transmissions will be totally new.
First, an eight-speed, dual-clutch automatic will be paired with the base four-pot. The V6, meanwhile, will get a nine-speed automatic. Unfortunately, there's no mention of a manual gearbox. Acura's Precision All-Wheel Steer will be standard on the front-drive variants for both engines, while the 3.5-liter V6 will also be available with the brand's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive.
