Type R Club of America

Hello guys, First time on any type of forums. Recently picked up a 2001 Integra Type R badge number 01-0304. Picked it up as a shell from a friend. Just wanted to share with everyone. The car has about 168k miles on the body. The previous owner sold the OG motor from it. I am the 5th owner. Here is how it looked when I first came and picked it up. Will try to update this as I do things to it.

Congrats! Looks like a solid platform to restore. What’s your plans? Oem?

Thanks guys! Planning to put a OEM front back on it. And decided to K Swap it

Before picking up this shell, I had a 1995 Civic DX coupe that I had K swapped. Just a basic K20a2 swap with bolt-ons. Made 207hp/146tq.







I decided to pull out the swap and put it in the R.



Picked a brand new front bumper and fenders from Acura and also got lucky to find the original cluster from someone on Facebook.



Since I was K swapping the car, I wanted to keep it somewhat comfortable to daily I picked a PS and AC kits from the good people at Hybrid Racing.


I will try my best to update this as I go. Thanks guys!

nice civic and the r is looking better already.

Very nice! The R with K20 will be a blast.

What are the specs of the TE37?
Did you order a front bumper stiffener and bolts? I ordered a new one and took a month for Japan to send one to Canada

Nice progress already! Keep the pics coming.

very clean ej coupe. k20 itr's are fun! I made 205/155 on my z3 and its gonna be a fun platform.

and also what good luck you had to find the og cluster!
