So... I'm thinking of selling my 2002 Integra Type R. This has been playing on my mind for the last 6 or so months. I keep convincing myself otherwise, but after 6 months, I thought I would put the bait out there to see if anyone was interested.
So a little history about the car. I bought this car back in April 2006, I was looking at totally different cars at the time, but this one came up for a tiny bit more then I originally wanted to spend, so had a look at it. Basically I drove it on the Saturday, and owned it by the Tuesday. After the first time I drove it, I knew I had to have it, and since that day, it's been my baby.
For the last 3 years the car has basically only been driven on weekends, and spends Monday to Friday in the garage... for the last couple of months I've probably averaged <200km a week (Girlfriend lives 80km return away). When I initially purchased the car (April 2006), it has just shy of 120k km on it. The car now has roughly 166k km, so I've averaged about 11k km a year during my ownership.
The previous owner had the car serviced at Centrax Automotive (Mt Gravatt), and for the last 4 years, I've also had the car serviced there religiously every 5k km.
The reason for the gearbox rebuild is due to the use of Redline superlite weight shock proof engine oil. The previous owner of the vehicle used this (Unknown Km) and said that he had good results with it, so once I purchased the vehicle I continued to use it up (15k km). Basically there are compounds in the oil that bond together, and this ruined the gearbox. It happened over 2 years ago, so I can’t remember what actually happened, but I have the receipt for the rebuild. Honda gearboxes are quiet sensitive about which gearbox oil you use, and since the rebuild only OEM Honda gearbox oil has been used.
As you can see from the below mod list, over the period of 4 years, I've done a bit to the car.

Extra comments:
- Number plates do not come with the car (If sold in QLD)
- As this is a EOI at the moment, I'll just leave contact to PM or on here.
- I am not interested in swaps (Unless for an Evo 9, 07 STI or similar)
- I AM NOT PARTING OUT THE CAR (Ever)
- I WON'T SELL THE CAR FOR LESS WITHOUT PARTS
- If you can get a simular DC5R for cheaper, I don't really care, go buy that one, if you want one that has some decent parts, and has been well looked after, come talk to me.
As I said, I'm only looking if there is any interest in the car, if nothing comes up in the next couple of months I'll keep the car.
Thanks for looking
