This Honda Integra Type R DC2 is a celebrated modern classic Japanese sports coupe, which has been enhanced with a few choice upgrades. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 1.8-litre inline-four with VTEC, which sends its power to the front wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. This example was originally a Japan-delivered model, which has recently been imported to Australia with an auction Grade 4, where it passed compliance in 2022, though it has yet to be registered. The odometer indicates 107,447 km, though this is not warranted. Build year: 1998 A definitive ‘no frills’ performance car, the Integra Type R featured thinner windscreen glass, reduced sound insulation, lighter alloy wheels, improved suspension, a titanium gear knob, and even the removal of standard features such as the sunroof, cruise control, rear wiper, and air conditioning, which became optional. The Type R’s chassis was strengthened with extra spot-welds and thicker metal around the rear shock absorber mountings and lower subframe, and the engine was hand-built with polished and ported intakes, high-compression pistons, undercut valves, and a revised exhaust. This DC2-era Integra Type R is finished in a timeless shade of black, over a black cloth and synthetic suede-trimmed interior, featuring red stitching, red synthetic suede and cloth-trimmed Recaro front seats, and carbon-look trim. It rides on a set of 15-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels, framing red brake callipers, and fitted with mixed tyres. Equipment includes a Momo steering wheel, a digital clock, air conditioning, and electrically operated windows and door mirrors. This example has been enhanced with Cusco coilover suspension, an HKS mushroom air filter, an aftermarket exhaust system, and NGK ignition cables. The car comes with the auction report. One ignition key is included. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. This Honda Integra Type R DC2 is a desirable and widely acclaimed modern classic Japanese sports coupe, which has been enhanced with a few discerning upgrades. Presented in a timeless colour scheme with iconic red Recaro front seats, and boasting a free-revving VTEC engine coupled to a lightweight and dynamic chassis, it would make a fine addition to any assembly of Japanese performance heroes, and a rewarding companion for retro daily driving, weekend fun, and car show visits alike.
