Detailed description This Civic Type R EP3 JDM spec was sourced to special order for a die-hard Civic enthusiast who wanted not just JDM specification but a car in as low mileage & top condition as possible. The result is seen below. This example's so tidy, it looks as if it's been stored away most of it's life. Condition is outstanding! Specification includes: i-VTEC 220 bhp 2.0 engine from Honda, these are superb award winning engines. Honda being the pioneer of variable valve timing technology knows better than any other manufacturer how to make an N/A sports engine to entertain yet still meet all the modern emissions standards and be 100% reliable. This engine really is superb in every respect providing ease of driveability, good fuel economy with unbelievably strong and intoxicating power from the 2.0 DOHC when required, all the way to the 8,600RPM red line. Fitted with powerful vented disc brakes, torque responsive helical limited-slip differential, 6 speed close ratio gearbox, PAS, P/W, air-conditioning, 4-channel ABS, Dual SRS Air Bags & Momo leather covered sports steering wheel, original titanium shift knob, red Recaro front seats, original type R fitted mats, privacy rear glass, light tint front windows, optional window/door visors, high level rear spoiler with integrated brake light, original option bumper recessed driving lights, factory alloy wheels fitted with 205/35R17 Yokohama DNA sports tyres (Nearly new). Auction grade 4.0 .... EP3's imported from Japan don't get much better than this in terms of condition.It's absolutely original throughout and interior is also in excellent original condition with no faults to report, aside from a couple of very small marks on the left horizontal bolster of the driver's seat and minor dirt on the edges from the driver getting in and out. Unusually for a sports car, this has been a nonsmoker's car since new so the interior has been further preserved through careful ownership. Note there was a JDM only sat nav system of older design (As originally fitted when new). As this isn't usable in the UK we have replaced with a high quality 2 DIN 200W Kenwood system.

Paintwork quality: There were some scratches on the driver's side skirt and also to the front lip. These were professionally repaired at our designated paint shop in Japan before shipping. They also carefully touched in the light chips / scratches on the wheels and even left a touch up bottle hidden under the central drinks holder. Ideal as it's a perfect match for the wheels and bodywork. Note There are a few very small stone chips on the bonnet, but these are so small they're not large enough to use a touch up pen on.The passenger door's been re-painted before (Match is perfect) and there's a small pin dent on the n/s quarter in location shown in pictures. These are too small to require repair, but mentioned to give a full report. Test Drive: We had the opportunity to drive this car approximately 40km and so got the chance to really evaluate it's performance. We're pleased to confirm it drives absolutely perfectly. Nice strong performance, especially above 5,800 rpm where iV-Tec's benefits come into play. No gearbox synchromesh wear problems, nice clutch feel (Not worn out), good braking performance and nice, tight & firm suspension. Car's geometry also feels spot on with no wandering or signs of looseness. It's clear from it's condition and the way it drives, this car's been beautifully cared for and maintained. It's quite possible this will be one of the best EP3's in the UK shortly. Civic Type R's have always been popular performance cars in Japan holding their prices well and the EP3 JDM spec continues to be a popular choice with enthusiasts in Japan for good reason. With Honda engineering, it's a very reliable package indeed, comprising a delightful direct close ratio 6 speed gearbox, handling & braking that puts other so called "hot hatches" into the weeds! These Integras corner as if they're on proverbial rails! Now with the ever higher road taxes for newer cars it makes sense to have a cheaper road tax bracket 2001 model. Bear in mind the condition of this car is equivalent to that of a 2 year old UK car. There's absolutely no underside corrosion, no significant mechanical wear, no oil leaks, etc. With the EP3 Civic, there's economy when you want it & class beating performance and handling when the open road beckons. Understated, subtle and purposeful in apperance, yet practical and endowed with Honda Type R performance and reliability. Including all OTR costs, testing for compliance, full UK registration, road tax (6 months), 12 months comprehensive Car Care Plan warranty and full valeting: OTR Price: £10,365 Newera Consistently recommended by club members and tuners in the UK - for supplying the best handpicked imports to order and from stock!

How the Newera System Works (1). Starting with your inquiry, we provide a quote or e-mail communication, so that we are clear on just what you are after. We ask for detailed information from you, so we can provide an accurate quotation from the beginning. If you are inquiring about a car from stock, steps (2) and (4) are not required. (2). When sourcing to order, our quotation is based on your requirements. As long as your budget is sufficient for the car youre after & the car is likely to be available, we will be prepared to find the car you order, or better. Remember: even if you budget too much, it doesnt matter. We operate a system of supplying the best car we can find, plus a set fee of 900. If we can buy your car for a low price, then you make the corresponding saving. (3). When you are ready to proceed, we ask for a deposit (& completed order form, if applicable). The deposit is usually 1,000. If you want a car worth over 10K OTR, then the deposit is 1,500. The deposit is fully refundable without question, should you for any reason need to cancel before a car is bought on your behalf. If you are reserving a car from stock the deposit is refundable less costs and time incurred provided you cancel 4 working days before shipment from Japan. (4). Miguel, our buyer keeps you informed via e-mail periodically whilst searching for your car. Sometimes it can take weeks, even months to find the right car. In addition to Miguel attending the major Tokyo auctions daily, we have buyers searching daily throughout Japan for the car you want. No news simply means we havent found it yet. We dont buy the first car which comes along. It must meet or exceed your requirements whilst not costing more than the OTR price we agreed, though it frequently costs less. (5). As soon as available, we will e-mail you up to 30 detailed photographs, showing all aspects of your car. We also include a detailed description. Of course, total OTR price is known at this stage, so we let you know. Cars are insured from the time theyre bought, to the time they are completed & collected by you in UK. (6). Usually, boats are available every 2-3 weeks, from Japan to UK (Southampton).

We arrange for your car to be shipped on the first vessel available. Around the time the car is shipped, we ask for the second instalment. Typically this is approximately 60% of the cars OTR total cost. Note that the car we supply to you is fully insured at all times prior to you collecting it. (7) We arrange booking of the SVA test in advance - shortly after the car departs, so that the car can be tested as soon as possible upon arrival to UK. We also inform our UK agent of your full contact details and information on everything which needs doing, to make sure the car wil be presented in beautiful condition. (8). Shipping takes 5 weeks. Around 2 weeks before arrival, we ask you for the final instalment, to cover Import duties, VAT, shipping, UK conversions, testing, registraton etc. (9). Before the car arrives, we arrange customs clearance, etc. so the car neednt spend un-necessary time waiting at the docks upon arrival. It usually takes 3-4 days for cars to be unloaded and cleared by UK customs. (10). The car is sent from Southampton to our UK agents premises in Canterbury aboard a car transporter. Upon arrival there, it is SVA converted, derestricted, SVA tested & MOTd (If applicable). All minor cosmetic work required (e.g. bumper scratches) is carried out. The car is fully valetted just before you collect it. (11). The car comes with 6 months road tax and is fully registered in your name as the first UK keeper. If you have a suitable private number plate youd like to go on the car, we can also arrange this, provided you have a DVLA retention certificate. N.B.
