Description

For sale is my much cherished 1998 UKDM DC2 Integra Type R, owned since 2011. Non A/C model (although this can be retrofitted if desired - I've enquired and parts are easily available). Plaque number 00029. Championship White body and wheels, with red Alcantara Recaro bucket seats as standard. It has been garaged since 2017 and SORN'd over the winter months. It has previously been a daily driver for me, but has been a second car for many years. It gets regular use in the summer, but has covered only 5000 miles in the last 5 years, for 130k miles overall. I've taken it to Pistonheads Sunday Services in the past. It is in excellent condition, has been meticulously maintained in my ownership, and is unmodified. It has had lots of mechanical items replaced as described below, usually preventatively and to keep the car feeling mechanically good. Where issues have arisen, I've been proactive in fixing them quickly. It is well known to TGM Sport in Fleet, where larger work has been carried out, but otherwise serviced and maintained locally. It failed its MOT last year on emissions, but this is now fully resolved and was simply due to an inadequate lambda sensor. In the process of diagnosing this, I replaced the catalytic converter, temperature sensors, manifold pressure sensor, fuel tank scavenger pump, idle air control valve and had the timing checked. Eventually we found that the car (and Hondas in general) are very sensitive to lambda sensors, and the Bosch one that I tried was the source of the problem. An NGK one solved this problem immediately, and all emissions are well within normal readings now. The car will therefore come with a spare catalytic converter and temperature sensors. It drives brilliantly (and always has), starting easily every time, and handles exceptionally. It pulls cleanly through the rev range, with VTEC engaging strongly at 5500rpm with a distinct change in engine note, up to the red line of 9000rpm. It idles perfectly and doesn't hunt around or flare. It doesn't burn any oil. It comes with two keys and two working alarm key fobs. It has an extensive service history from new, fully documented with corresponding photos and MOTs back to 2002, contained within 3 binders as shown. The car can come with a USB containing all the photos of the car and work that has been done in my ownership. I will also include multiple magazines, an original sales brochure, and complete book pack as shown. Further description shown in the last photo.
