This is a top condition 98 Spec ITR for sourced for a discerning customer who wanted the best
example available of the highest standard of condition only Newera is known for sourcing. In all, it
took approx 3 months of searching to find this example. Specification was to include a top
condition red interior, optional ABS and SRS airbag(s).
With fuel prices higher and Honda Type R's gaining in popularity as robust driver's cars, we
concentrate on finding the very best and latest examples, to supply to those customers who want
the ultimate quality available for their budgets. The DC2 Type R is considered by the Japanese as
the best Integra Type R made, even better than it's replacement, the DC5 Type R. With double
wishbone suspension at each corner and excellent balance, combined with a race car like 1.8 V-
Tec engine producing 200 bhp driven through a close ratio gearbox coupled to a limited slip
differential, this is a seriously capable driver's car! Note that Honda make the currect DC5 ITR
without double wishbone suspension. A cost cutting exercise... To tuners in Japan, the DC2 98
Spec is still the best ever made.
This is a 98 Spec Type X as stamped on a plaque located on the centre console and inside the
passenger door shut. Type X in this case denotes black interior trim with red Recaros on a white
car. Its of 1998 + Spec. and so in addition to a quicker steering rack and suspension differences
only fitted to JDM models, also carries the following factory modifications introduced in 1998:
To provide an increase in power to 200 bhp and also higher torque at low and mid rpm levels the
exhaust manifold was re-designed. Suspension and brakes were improved to maximize driving
performance and handling. Furthermore, the Integra type R 98 Spec adopted15-inch front disk
brakes &14-inch rear disk brakes. ABS was a delete option - but fitted to this example. A new
steering wheel was designed by MOMO and High intensity Discharge (HID) headlights with
2000 Honda Integra Type R 98 Spec - Type X. Honda Racing White

additional option HID (yellow) driving lights, with over twice the brightness of halogen lamps were
introduced. Front and rear bumpers were also re-designed to help modernise the look further.
Glass was also changed from being of brown tint, to a light blue tint instead. As standard, the
engine is making 200 bhp at 7,600 rpm with a V-Tec Zone that sounds & goes much like that of a
racing engine from 5,800 - 8,500 rpm, it's not hard to see why this car won so many admirers in
Japan. 98+ Spec Factory fitted equipment includes: Limited slip differential, Climate control air
conditioning, PAS, electric windows, original "Type R" fitted mats, remote controlled door mirrors
(With retract mode on this example), full alcantara red Recaro seats, HID headlights with front fog
lights integrated into the light clusters, alloy Type R gear knob and pedals, large diameter discs.
Modifications: The following modifications appear to have been fitted: Trust Airinx replacement
filter element and intake, Mugen fan switch and low temp thermostat, Ultra - uprated ignition leads,
Fujitsubo Power Getter exhaust, J's Racing (Produced by Racing Gear) high quality coilovers with
pillow ball upper mounts, J's Racing front and rear alloy strut braces. Wheels are Volk Racing
CE28N of 16" diameter, fitted with near new Yokohama DNA S Drive sports tyres of size:
215/45R16. All modifications are supplied free of charge with the car.
Inside There's also a Honda (Kenwood) CD/Radio hifi complete with speakers inclusive of remote
tweeters at the front. Audio equipment is supplied free of charge with this car.
An alarm is fitted, although this is not likely to meet UK insurance requirements as no UK
certificate is included. There's a rather clever immobiliser switch for the starter motor located
beneath the gear shift gaiter. This must be pressed when operating the key to turn the starter
motor. Took us a while to find it ourselves, despite knowing an immobiliser was fitted. Simple - but
effective.
Performance Parts to further improve this car are available through www.neweraparts.com We'd
recommend fitting a Mugen cold air composite air box and K&N oil impregnated air filter, Mugen 4
branch stainless steel exhaust manifold and some items to improve the engine bay, such as J's
Racing oil and radiator cap. Uprated Endless CC-X brake pads will add fade free braking
performance - to a level not available from alternative pads sold in the UK. We'd also recommend
changing the wheel nuts to black annodised, instead of the blue ones currently fitted (At present
we haven't yet been given a key for these - but this may follow from the previous owner). All
Honda performance parts available in Japan can be supplied by ourselves.
Interior is in excellent condition. This has been a non smoker's car. There are no faults to report
aside from minor wear to the driver's vertical seat bolster from age although the seat's in excellent
condition. It would appear the last owner of this car was a small Japanese person. Interior has
been valetted so the car will be presented in immaculate condition.The original auction grade of

this example is 4b (Auction sheet is available) This example is in excellent condition. Checking the
bodywork carefully during & after washing it we noticed only the following: Scratches to the front
lip spoiler, 2 small pin dents on the n/s quarter and one on the o/s quarter (Not easily noticable!).
Each of these faults will be repaired professionally as part of UK preparation. On the bonnet
there's a light dent from the inside where the bonnet's been closed against the stay. We'll have a
dent removal specialist do his best on removing this also. Note that the underside of the car is
completely rust free also. Much like a 2 year old car! Note that the N/S "Type R" sticker has some
chips from it - can be replaced with a new item, although the cost of this hasn't been included in
the price at this time.
Test Drive: We tested this DC2 for around 4km after warming it up. There are no mechanical faults
to report with performance. Clutch is fine, with no warping from the brakes. Performance feels
VERY strong especially in the V-Tec zone Its certainly not lacking in go! Even with standard tune
as far as exhaust, etc is concerned, performance is strong from the 200 bhp this car gives as
standard, so with the uprated breathing from the Fujitsubo exhaust, it's even more balistic! Clearly
this car's been loved and fastidiously maintained. Oil change has recently been carried out.
Complete with minor paintwork to repair the above described faults, UK conversions E-SVA and
first UK registration, MOT, 12 month's comprehensive warranty, full valetting and 6 month's road
tax, this one off concours condition Integra Type R was sourced at: £9,940 OTR. Please Contact
Us to discuss sourcing your own high quality example of a DC2 98 Spec Honda Type R Integra or

(1). Starting with your inquiry, we provide a quote or e-mail communication, so that
we are clear on just what you are after. We ask for detailed information from you, so
we can provide an accurate quotation from the beginning. If you are inquiring about a
car from stock, steps (2) and (4) are not required.
(2). When sourcing to order, our quotation is based on your requirements. As long as
your budget is sufficient for the car youre after & the car is likely to be available, we
will be prepared to find the car you order, or better. Remember: even if you budget
too much, it doesnt matter. We operate a system of supplying the best car we can
find, plus a set fee of £900. If we can buy your car for a low price, then you make the
corresponding saving.
(3). When you are ready to proceed, we ask for a deposit (& completed order form, if
applicable). The deposit is usually £1,000. If you want a car worth over £10K OTR,
then the deposit is £1,500. The deposit is fully refundable without question, should
you for any reason need to cancel before a car is bought on your behalf. If you are
reserving a car from stock the deposit is refundable less costs and time incurred
provided you cancel 4 working days before shipment from Japan.
(4). Miguel, our buyer keeps you informed via e-mail periodically whilst searching
for your car. Sometimes it can take weeks, even months to find the right car. In
addition to Miguel attending the major Tokyo auctions daily, we have buyers
searching daily throughout Japan for the car you want. No news simply means we
havent found it yet. We dont buy the first car which comes along. It must meet or
exceed your requirements whilst not costing more than the OTR price we agreed,
though it frequently costs less.
(5). As soon as available, we will e-mail you up to 30 detailed photographs, showing
all aspects of your car. We also include a detailed description. Of course, total OTR
price is known at this stage, so we let you know. Cars are insured from the time
theyre bought, to the time they are completed & collected by you in UK.
(6). Usually, boats are available every 2-3 weeks, from Japan to UK (Southampton).

We arrange for your car to be shipped on the first vessel available. Around the time
the car is shipped, we ask for the second instalment. Typically this is approximately
60% of the cars OTR total cost. Note that the car we supply to you is fully insured at
all times prior to you collecting it.
(7) We arrange booking of the SVA test in advance - shortly after the car departs, so
that the car can be tested as soon as possible upon arrival to UK. We also inform our
UK agent of your full contact details and information on everything which needs doing,
to make sure the car wil be presented in beautiful condition.
(8). Shipping takes 5 weeks. Around 2 weeks before arrival, we ask you for the final
instalment, to cover Import duties, VAT, shipping, UK conversions, testing,
registraton etc.
(9). Before the car arrives, we arrange customs clearance, etc. so the car neednt
spend un-necessary time waiting at the docks upon arrival. It usually takes 3-4 days
for cars to be unloaded and cleared by UK customs.
(10). The car is sent from Southampton to our UK agents premises in Canterbury
aboard a car transporter. Upon arrival there, it is SVA converted, derestricted, SVA
tested & MOTd (If applicable).
All minor cosmetic work required (e.g. bumper scratches) is carried out. The car is
fully valetted just before you collect it.
(11). The car comes with 6 months road tax and is fully registered in your name as
the first UK keeper. If you have a suitable private number plate youd like to go on the
car, we can also arrange this, provided you have a DVLA retention certificate.
