Glad to see one being restored but that’s not a race base unless someone fitted standard EK9 interior in the past.

Just searched it on honda using the vin i could see on one of the pics

CIVIC 3D 31998KJTYPE R RACE5MTCHAMPIONSHIP WHITE (NH0)KAIR CONDITIONER (DEALER SET), LSD, POWER...
 
Interesting, is there any way to tell if it was supplied with that interior? If it was I wonder what the difference then would be from a standard EK9? All race base cars I’ve seen to date have had just box standard grey EK interior.
 
Thought as much, thank you for the info! Getting it back to true “showroom” condition might be a bit of a challenge then, there can’t be that many original race base cars left.

How and where are you getting this info from? And can anyone do this using their vin on a imported car?

Pretty sure the race base interior was just run of the mill ek civic. Should be easy to find.

They also had steel wheels and no tints

it did hav a pov spec interior, no airbag dash and wheel. only thing in the interior that was type r was the speedo.

Outside was the same as a normal Type r except it had steelies and tints.

manual rack, no abs etc.

Iv seen some race bases come with more spec but very very rare

ok thanks, what info can you find out about the car? and what can the honda one do that the others cant?

Will it know the difference between a EG SiR, SIR2 and SiR-S ? Build date, where it was made, what came on the car as standard etc...?
