Looks good, but maybe a little out of place with the black rear seats, I think.

There's nothing like a true Canadian-spec CW Type R with the red seats.

7130 miles (11.5km) on my 2001 Canadian spec R.

Dean

Eric,

I actually bought the car from someone in Seattle. Apparantly it's not that difficult to import a Canadian-spec R. Sorry, I don't have the procedure details.

Dean

Ummm, no thanks...

Dean

You're right, kabob. I never did understand Honda's preoccupation with red seats. It's very '80s, if you ask me. I chose the Canadian Type R because it was one of the only ways I could find a low mileage, Championship white Type R. Mine has about 7,100 miles (10k km) on it now. I could live without ...

Keep in mind that Canadian-spec 2000-2001 Type R's did NOT have standard A/C like their American counterparts. Canadian A/C systems were dealer installed, and the complete kit is no longer available. Shop carefully if this makes a difference to you. I needed to purchase the $1300 A/C kit when I got ...

Ryan, Here's a pic of the "Aircon Kit" (Acura's term) for a Canadian-spec Type R: http://home.earthlink.net/~ouanod/TypeRAC.jpg The correct part number for the 1997 Type R Aircon kit is: 80000-ST7-A50. The Integra RS kit is 80000-ST7-A11. The 1998 Type R (US model) and 2000-2001 Canadian-s...

Ryan, You may be out of luck. The 97-98 A/C kit for the Type R is no longer available in the United States. I have a Canadian-spec 2001 Type R and I searched for a OEM U.S. kit for several weeks. It's simply not available. You can still buy individual A/C components, but this can be quite costly. I ...

Because of the Type R's theft rate, I also had my 2001 Type R delivered from Seattle to North Carolina via enclosed carrier. I did extensive research for reputable companies, and I picked "Horseless Carriage Carriers." They deliver mostly high end cars like Ferraris and Porsches. I paid $1...

Due to weather and a busy family/work schedule, my 2001 Canadian-spec Type R hasn't been on the road too often over the past few months. Although I never intended to make my Type R a garage queen, it's hard to avoid pampering the car when it only has 7k miles. :) The car was originally imported into...

I am one of the "ugly Americans" who stole one of Canada's national treasures...a 2001 Championship White Type R (6k miles).

Dean

Welcome aboard, Chris.

I can see you have great taste in cars. I have a 97 Supra TT and a 01 Type R myself. Great cars, aren't they?

Dean

My Type R has a bit of an inferiority complex next to my 1997 Supra TT

Ummm, I think I understand what you just said.

You live in eastern Canada, and you know someone who has a 2001 CW Type R (in Canada, I presume.)

OK, good enough proof for me!

Dean

Previous owner in Washington state imported this car about 8 months ago. I think import duties were only about $300.

It's nice having the only 2001 Championship White Type R on the east coast............unless someone can prove otherwise!

Well, I just imported a Canadian 2001 Type R into North Carolina. Anything is possible...

The Canadian queen has landed! The enclosed car carrier driver said "nice car." That was quite a compliment from a guy who just delivered 3 Porsches and 2 Ferraris cross-country.

Dean

Paul,

Clean? Check out the engine bay of this 6,000 mile beauty!

2001...in Championship White with red interior.. The best color and the last year made!

Dean

Well, I can thank the previous owner for importing the Canadian Type R into the US. The car was registered in Washington state. It's costing $1700 to ship the car via enclosed transport. I'm using http://www.horselesscarriage.com Hell, the Acura may be the CHEAPEST car on the cross-country transport...

Thanks, Aj.

Nimbus,

You don't really expect me to sell it this soon, do you? Let me enjoy the VTEC a while before I resell it.

Dean

After a 1 month search for the perfect, low mileage Type R, I finally found her. Thanks to this forum, I stumbled upon a 2001 Canadian spec, Champoinship White Type R with 6,000 miles. Now I'm anxiously awaiting enclosed transport from Seattle to North Carolina. It should be here in about 10 days. S...

"They are probably talking about running DRL's off the HID."

Umm, yes.

Any Canadian Integra owners have experience with this?

Dean

Quote from http://www.HIDS4less.com "There is a problem however if the DRL is installed on the set of lights that you are going to be upgrading to xenon. DRL'S run at a reduced wattage to save power. This reduced wattage does not have enough power to ignite the bulb. The solution to this is to ...
