Up for sale is my 1997 J.D.M. R.H.D. Honda Civic Type R N1 Race Base. This is a very special vehicle with only around 200 produced, making it extremely rare. I have owned this car for over 3 years and in that time I have gone through this car top to bottom in order to make it as nice as possible and now she is ready for a new owner. I have all the original owner manual booklets, maintenance records, leaflets and inspection reports from the previous owner in Japan. The N1 Race Base cars are stripped down, track focused versions of the Honda Civic Type R that left the factory with thinner paint, untinted windows, Standard steering wheel, Standard gear shift knob, Standard wheels, Standard carpet, Standard Front and Rear seats, No sound deadening material, No air conditioning, No power steering, No ABS, No Air Bags, No power windows, and No paint on the side moldings. The total weight savings were estimated to be approximately 135 pounds. What really makes this car unique is that the previous owner swapped in a 98 Spec Integra Type R Engine and Transmission along with many OEM upgraded parts that come on the more expensive versions of the Civic Type R making it the perfect combination of style, performance and comfort.
