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! |

Acura TL gets its top chopped
Sat, 06 Jul 2013The roofless Acura TL you see above is a product of Newport Convertible Engineering. No stranger to taking the lids off of Acuras - and a bunch of other cars, like this Jaguar XJ and this Toyota FJ Cruiser - NCE says it was the first US coachbuilder to produce an Acura NSX convertible.
NCE says the conversion takes about six weeks to complete, comes with a five-year warranty from the supplier and doesn't void the original warranty from Acura. On top of that, the interior fitments like sun visors, trunk space and rear seat belts all remain unaltered. Customers who are absolutely against the B-pillar can have it removed, but NCE says "The vehicle will be designed differently without the center bar."
To our eyes the TL looks pretty all right without a roof, and with stripes. NCE will shortly be preparing convertible versions of the 2013 Range Rover Supercharged Autobiography, Porsche Cayenne and Cadillac XTS. For Acura owners, there's a press release below with information on NCE if you have a TL and an urge to go way beyond the sunroof.
Ford driving Alaskan maniac rams toddler-carrying SUV
Mon, Jul 25 2016A couple from Anchorage had a frightening traffic encounter when they were followed and repeatedly rammed by a stranger in a pickup truck. Grace Bernert, her boyfriend, and his two-year-old daughter were returning home from a trip to downtown Anchorage when they noticed a blue, 2001 Ford F-150 following closely behind them. "The guy was so close, we couldn't see his headlights," Bernert told KTVA. Bernert, who was riding shotgun, pulled out her phone to record the truck when it struck the rear end of their Acura SUV. That's when she called 911. Bernert's boyfriend tried to lose the F-150 in the Sullivan Arena parking lot, then drove to a local Ford dealer's parking lot where he drove through a maze of new Ford pickups in an attempt to shake their assailant. "We started doing circles around the brand new Fords because we thought the truck wouldn't be able to turn as fast as we would," said Bernert. "We were right, but the guy didn't care. He just kept hitting the new fords and backing up, coming after us." The truck continued to follow them, ramming the Acura again and again. Bernert estimates that F-150 driver struck their SUV between five and seven times, and hit numerous new trucks in the dealership parking lot. Eventually, they ducked into a nearby neighborhood where they managed to lose the F-150 and called 911. Bernert told KTVA that she believes they were targeted but doesn't know why. "The guy was either some random sick person who didn't care, or somebody who knew us and didn't care there was a kid in the car," she said. Anchorage Police arrived shortly after the couple escaped the F-150 and filed a report about the incident. They are currently investigating. Recent Video:
Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee earns Seinfeld four more seasons
Thu, May 1 2014We're going to be talking about Jerry Seinfeld and his excellent web series, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, for quite a long time, as it's been picked up for four more seasons. Considering the show just wrapped up its third season a few months ago, this marks quite a big win. The new order, reported by Variety, calls for 24 episodes, with Acura carrying on as the show's sole and primary sponsor. CICGC is already slated for a fourth season this summer, which includes five episodes, and a seven-episode fifth season in the fall. Guests for season four include Aziz Ansari, Jon Stewart and Sarah Jessica Parker, although we've no idea what sort of cars are in store. It's unclear when seasons six through nine will air, but if 2014 is any indication, we should expect the bulk of the episodes to arrive some time in 2015.
