Here I have for sale my 52 plate JDM Championship White Civic Type R.
If you are unaware of the extras the JDM cars have over the UK cars, here's a quick spec.
- Champsionship White paintwork exclusive to JDM models
- Recaro Corporation reclining seats
- Leather 3 spoke steering wheel by MOMO
- Red Type R floor mats & door lining
- U.K. Emblem (fitted to the rear as the cars are built in the UK, then shipped to Japan)
- HID headlight (high / low beam)
- Electric folding mirrors
- Privacy glass (rear quarter / tail gate)
- Climate Control/Air Conditioning
- Thicker front and rear anti roll bars
- Torque response type helical LSD
The JDM engine has an uprated engine containing JDM springs, valves, pistons etc plus it does indeed have a smaller cat.
Different gear ratios and mapping in the Japanese car, along with a different intake and exhaust manifolds as well. JDM engines produce 220bhp.
I had the car imported in July 2007 for me by a highly respected Japanese performance car importer, who also imported my previous car, a 1997 JDM EK9 Civic Type R.
The car has covered 26,000 miles, and is converted to read MPH on the speedometer.
Mot'd to June 2008, Tax'd to January 2008.
The red Recaro seats are in mint condition with no rips burns or tears, as is the rest of the interior, it can only be described as new. It also has the original Honda Gathers CD player fitted. Since importing the car I have had a Meta CAT1 alarm and immobiliser fitted at a cost of £350.
The bodywork is absolutely gleaming, and flawless except for a tiny mark on the lower left of the rear bumper, which isn't noticeable unless being pointed out to you, I am just being honest! The wheels are in very very good condition, 2 wheels have very minor scuffs, around 1" long, which again arent noticeable (I'm really picky and even I haven't bothered with them). The Type R calipers have been painted red to match the interior and Type R details.
Engine/brakes/gearbox etc are all perfect, the car drives as new. When the car was imported the oil and filter were changed with a Honda filter and Mobil fully synthetic oil. The engine mount inserts have been replaced as the rear one was perished. I also had 4 new Toyo T1-R 205/45/17" tyres fitted in August costing £350.
The car has always been run on Shell V-Power 99 ron fuel.
You'd struggle to find a UK Civic Type R in this condition, let alone the rare and desirable JDM model like this in this condition. I have all the import documents etc to prove, any inspection welcome, any questions feel free to phone me. Thanks.
Car is located in Ayrshire, near Glasgow, Scotland.
£11,000.
