Hi guys

Please see my below ad on pistonheads for info about the car, to lazy to type up again lol.

Used HONDA CIVIC TYPE-R 1998 for sale - PistonHeads (Ref 1119572)

If you have any questions about the car please get in touch!

Cheers

Gary

Edit - info about car from pistonheads copied and pasted, also edited as I had mis calculated the number of miles driven last year, was around 3000, not 1200, dunno where my Maths went wrong there lol

Description
Here we have for sale my 1998 civic type r (ek9).

This car has been my pride and joy for the last two and a half years and it pains me to sell it but I need the money for a deposit on a house and something a bit more family friendly, growing up sucks!

Anyway the car has covered 127000 kmh which is about 79000 miles (clocks still read in kmph) and its only modifications are a spoon ecu and spoon street silencer back box (fitted on the car before imported) also a tegiwa induction kit which can be removed if required as I still have the original air box.

The exterior of the car is in perfect condition having had a full exterior respray and wheel refurb, last April at a cost of over 2k with paper work to prove. Also last February the car had its pads and discs replaced along with a full service (including gear box oil), also brand new toyo proxies on all wheels after refurb. Including respray, service and labour over 3k was spent between February and April last year so you can see no expense has been spared on this car as it was going to be my little project but I don't have the time now and need the money for a house.

The car has just been serviced and mot'd again in February (I calculated that between services the car covered around 3000miles, the car is only really ever driven one day a week (Sunday) and the rest of the time it's parked up.)

One of the bolsters of the passenger seats is badly worn and needs replaced but I have priced the foam and it can be bought for £45 so a cheap and easy fix and was on my list to do but hadn't got round to it. Apart from that the interior is in good condition however the drivers side red mat is missing (has always been like this since I got the car) again was another thing on my list to do. I did manage to get an original gear knob as this was missing when I bought the car.

The engine bay is fairly clean for its age but could do with a clean and some tlc (this was going to be next on my list) but still in good condition for a 15 year old car.

I can safely say I don't think there is many of these left out there that are aswell looked after as this one, however I just don't have the time to spend on the car and want someone to get the use of it.

I also have some other things that come with the car such as type r show plates and a spare set of ek headlights which I have dismantled and resprayed the interior black (just need to be resealed and polished).

I am the first uk owner of the car apart from the import garage.

I am looking for £6000 ono.

Hopefully this covers everything but if you have any question please get In touch.

Looks a very clean example, why not just copy the info from the ph advert onto here? I think it would still aid the sale and also putting the pics on the thread aswell.
 
Thanks mate I think I might do that, I am not sure I can add pics as on an iPad and don't think I can upload them without setting up some form of Dropbox account.
 
Well agreed a trade in on the ek9 so if I don't get any offers before Friday it will be gone :nono: had a few offers of swaps but nothing I am looking for (looking for something not modified).

Are you trading it into a garage against another car?
 
Well car was meant to be getting traded in tomorrow so I took it out for a drive last night for a proper drive for the first time in ages and its totally changed my mind. i have decided I am going to keep the ek and enjoy it as its supposed to be, going to start driving it rather than keepin hidden away and trying to keep it perfect condition. It is a drivers car after all eh!

Nice one buddy :D:D
 
Had a proper think about it and it's the right thing to do, I've put loads of time, effort and money into this car to resolve the issues she had when I bought her, so to sell it now when all the problems are solved is just stupid really!

Time to give her some more TLC when this weather finally clears up and maybe start thinking about a bit of tuning.
