Hi all going to look at a type r anything I need to look out for

 

Arch rust rear, but you'd need a ramp and/or endoscope to check it properly. If the arch rim is bubbling, the rust will be inside the skin by the shock upper mount. Very expensive to fix

 

Rust and more rust. Get your hand up in the rear arch and you'll feel like a step check that. You can also do a CARVX, depends how long its been in the country. Where is the car based?

 

It’s in Huddersfield

 

eBay Type R this one?

 

Yes that’s the 1

 

From the information I have it was imported around 2008, previous owner bought it around October 2023.

Here is a grab of a previous advert back in 2022 Jap Classied it says "the car is showing 122k miles on the clock it was switched over from kilometres to miles at 100,000km so is on around 84,000miles". On ebay miles is listed as 77k and mot is showing as KM.

Previous owner or current owner not sure Scoobynet post 10

Go in eyes wide open (easier said then done) and do what you will with the information I have shared.

Edit, by previous owner I meant current owner (previous owner if op was to buy it) been a long day at work.

 

Thanks mate looks like it went from near hull up to Scotland then bk down to Yorkshire I have a good look at it seen it says 122 km on eBay 1 add says 1997 other says 1998

 

Type R prices are really high and not many for sale these days. Whats the cost to import one in 2025?

 

Yeah that’s why I want to get 1 been looking at type r for years I guess not very cheap to import 1

 

122km equals to 76250 miles, advert says 77000m its correct
being in country from 2008 if most of those miles are done here everything will be rusty underside ,sills arches all subframes etc.
At the edge between light resto to heavy one with cutting panels etc.
mine has 77k miles from new in UK 2006
rear subframe for example below,front looked the same could do without powdercoating but bought new ones ,steering rack gone- over 1k pounds new
arches are good so do turrets etc,rear sills cut welded painted
money pit but i like this car
You could finish it will need 1000s for resto and if engine goes another 1000s to fix it

it received new heart/brain parts to ,529 horses/498 lbft

 

The guy that had it near hull looks like he only used it in summer as a weekend car hopefully it’s still in good condition

 

Hull fog ,sea yeah hopefully driven 40-50k miles over summer

 

I think you missed what I put earlier.

The additional 22k would have been added in miles so does work out to roughly 84k in miles then.

 

i added k before m sorry
Question is was it switched to miles or is in km still.
If it has 122k miles doubt he did it over summer months.

 

If you are looking to buy a Honda Civic Type R, it is crucial to check its past maintenance, the condition of the suspension, engine, gearbox, brakes and tires.
