FS: 1998 2.0L ITR $19k (Nevada)

I am offering for sale a 1998 Acura Integra Type R that has been extensively modified. Very high quality parts have been used throughout the car in the areas that have been upgraded. The car has a fully built 2.0L racing engine (designed for road course use), modified suspension, and brakes (the seats and other safety equipment were installed to SCCA specifications). The engine, and all modifications to this car were done by LDL Speed Shop in Las Vegas, Nevada.

With some custom fabrication, we also were able to retain the air conditioning, despite the big tube DTR-FAB (Sigma-Six Racing) header. Every effort was taken to retain a clean “finished” look for the interior, even though it has been completely redone. The front and rear seats and rear seat brackets were removed, along with the ITR center console. The door panels were also customized by an auto interior shop to allow for the size of the racing seat upper bolsters.

Sparco EVO XL racing seats, Sparco/Schroth 5 point harnesses, a padded Autopower roll bar, new custom fit rear carpeting, and a JDM ITR e-brake center console replacement were installed. I have included pictures of the interior from different angles. The Stereo/CD player, power windows, heater, A/C, keyless entry, and alarm all work perfectly. Unfortunately the car is too loud to listen to the stereo though, due to the Burns Stainless TIG welded custom 3” exhaust. Lol!

The LDL built racing engine has less than 2,500 miles on a complete rebuild, and the chassis has 65,000 miles. The exterior of the car looks as if it were new. I have $25k+ invested in this car, over and above the original cost of the car. Receipts can be provided to the new owner.

The WORK RSZ-R 15”x 7”+43 offset rims are mint, except the stickers have been removed, and the Nitto NT-01s are almost new. Here is a component list, with accompanying photos:

This is a California/Nevada owned car since it was new, and has absolutely no rust. The car originally produced 234whp on the Mustang Sport Compact Dyno at LDL Speed Shop.

Wow. :o

That price is stellar for the package you are offering. With only 65k on the chassis, this car is a baby! Best wishes with the sale, please find it a great home!

Thanks for your comments. The used car market is currently the worst I've ever seen it (and I’m 54 years old). It almost doesn't matter what you're asking for a car; people either are not buying or can't buy for some reason. It’s the worst time for the seller, but the best time for a buyer. If these were normal times, I would be able to sell this car quickly for $24-25k. Oh, and I've lowered the price to $18,000; if I can’t even get 18k for this car I’ll just put it in long-term storage. Maybe the economy will improve in a couple years.

Just a side note. I met this guy and he was really nice and his car was crazy clean. The car sounded tuned to perfection. Would be a great track car and a better show car. IMO its a fully built ITR with a mod list that made me drool. If i had the money i would be all over it. Good luck on sale boss. FYI i bought the yellow ITR off Kelly and i met u at the LV Acura Dealership car show.

Yes I remember you; and how jazzed you were about the ITR you recently bought! Thanks for the kind words about the car.
