In august i sold my gsi and was looking for a new car. i had a few ideas but i wanted handling more than speed. I then decided on a Integra Type R DC2 But it had to be a 98 spec JDM due to more power and better extras and looks better than the uk spec imo. One came up local so i had to have a look.
On monday i picked up my new car a 98 spec JDM ITR DC2 in mint condition with 48k and mugen suspension all round. 
I love it, the speed is great but the handling is something else how it handles so well i don't know.
Here are a few pics the week before i picked it up. i will get more up once its clean 



Hope you all like, cos i love it

Is there a massive insurance difference between UK and Jap cars?

Bumpers and lights on the uk spec are nicer.
But that is a nice 98 spec u have.
Sell that plate on an ATR forums u'll get good money for it.

i gotta say this car is sooo much better than those pics make out,
this car is a truely a minter, not one single mark on the car or dent for its age, very very low mileage, underneath the car, there is not one single mark its like a brand new car all over!
the seats are almost like new, normally you see them all dirty etc, rear seats never been sat in, engine start button, the thing is sooooo dam fine its gotta be the bargain of the year!!,
i know the place where mark bought it were going to keep it as their own
i so want one! 
mark took me out in it the other night and i was like my god! vtech is the way forward
