2000 Honda Integra Type-R (DC2)

The Honda Integra Type R DC2 (1995-2001) featured the B18C 1.8 VTEC with 187-197hp revving to 8,400rpm. Just 1,100kg with close-ratio gearbox, LSD, and Recaro seats. Set the FWD handling benchmark. UK-spec cars are rarest (few hundred). Championship White is iconic. Values from £30k (UK-spec £50k+).

Integra Type R DC2: Engine B18C - legendary high-revving unit. Timing belt critical (every 5 years/60k miles). VTEC solenoid service. Oil changes essential with high-revving use. Gearbox close-ratio 5-speed - excellent but 2nd/3rd synchros wear if abused. LSD standard and excellent. Lightweight chassis brilliant but rust is major concern - 25+ years old. Check sills, arches, floors thoroughly. Many poorly repaired. Extremely high theft risk - security essential. Modifications common - original specification commands significant premium. Values skyrocketing. UK-spec rarest. JDM imports common but check paperwork. Budget £2,000-3,000 annually. Honda specialist essential.
