If it had the orignal steering wheel it would have been an 10/10 imho. Now i'd say it's a 9,9/10. Just amazing you can still get one in this state. Just hope the new owner will keep it as clean.
You know, I agree with you completely. I would prefer the stock steering wheel considering how great the car is. Though at least they picked an excellent aftermarket unit so they don't lose too much.
Honda only "hand built" this 96spec b18c from late 1995 to mid 1996. Later versions used a machine porting process that was not able to be replicated by hand in it's quality.
C Swiss they still did some hand assembly of the engine. For example, the connecting rod bolts were torqued by a person also using a micrometer to measure correct bolt stretch. Each engine's pistons were hand selected to be a set based on their weight, to be extremely closely matched.
C Swiss actually it's the Opposite of what your saying. Honda switched to machine based valve seats and ports grinding because that process was more Precise, and cost effective for them.
Just to be picky. That spoiler is from a Si/SiRG, not Type R. Those H decals on the guards /fenders aren't stock. Also red Recaros were only an option for the DC2, DB8 was black only. Easy to swap though.
excellent walk through as always. I enjoyed watching this informative video. got to see the entire car, trunk, engine, interior and even narrowed down to the shift knob! next time show the headlights / high beams smaller details that nobody really gets to see. just a suggestion. thank you!! have a nice day ~
Hopefully nice ones like this will still be around in, uh... *maths* 2021 😑 Japan had ~ 30,000 DC2/DB8 ITRs but so many are chopped for the front clips
Remember when Honda's made some badass cars in the 90's everyone wanted? Now what do they make...hmmmm I guess they did bring a civic Type R to the states finally but common, Honda has been a snorefest.
The new NSX and CTR are loaded with all this crap they put in cars nowadays. CTR = 3111 pounds ITR = 2600 pounds Speed academy did a cool comparison between the two and the CTR is definitely a better car in a lot of ways, however the integra is more fun to drive. Their new cars are just not as fun to drive.
@@sieve5 well it's because regulations.what do you expect ? We cannot making cars in the past or rarely because the regulations of safety,emissions blah blah.But hey at least they still making ssportscar or supercars because in the future they will not make that again.The new nsx will discontinued and become last attempt for honda to make supercars again,because in future all will electric and it's inevitable.So even you said now it's crap well we don't know maybe the value will hold in future.Mark my words.We hate it,not appreciated in short term when its still a new car but in 20 years ahead,I bet people will appreciated it and the value still high.
nice car, tidy example. FYI - this db8r is missing the original rear spoiler (factory size is a little higher), it appears to have a normal si/siR spoiler. fender stickers are not factory, also all db8r came factory with black recaro front seats. Yes, they don't come with clocks factory, but have a plug at the back behind the factory "integra" panel for you to plug in a si/sir clock.
I spoke about the spoiler on the video I shot today for our other channel (Let's Drive Japan) and I mentioned that I thought that there was an option for the spoiler to take the tall one or the short one.
wow, a stock stereo too! I really hope this car goes to BC I would love to check it out. I would suggest to the owner to replace timing belt since you didn't mention it, and also get the car undercoated right away. also gotta say this car is super clean. I didn't see if there was a sway bar in the trunk (near the very back) it was OEM on the DC2.
Right, I didn't actually do the full report on this car. I would have liked to spend more time in it. Your DC2 was our first one. I remember it clearly.
i hear no one ever mention that lil button (or sensor) like i see on the driver door of my 1998 Honda integra DC1. it makes me think keyless entry is nothing new compared to how they boast that nowadays. I dont see it on this one tho. Mine is coupe. If anyone know please update me
based off listening to that Honda engine if it was me I'd change the Oil and use a genuine honda filter. follow that up with a Valve adjustment when the motor is Cold to the touch.
My favorite video on the channel I actually own a db8 gsr I would love to see more of these if you could do a review on the 98-01 type r db8's that would be sick love the jdm videos #DB8FTW
+PacificCoastAuto I have seen a hand full of 4 door base integras but, they seem to be dropped after 1-2 years bad sales? Most of them are rotted out by now. (Toronto)
Hi i have a ukdm spec integra type r with very low genuine milage but it does not has the original engine it has the japan version engine B18c does it affect the cost of the car ?
Is the price it was sold for confidential or is it just plain none of the viewers business. I would luv to get anidea of what these sell 4 in US dollars
it must be true, cos lots of 4door cars have a stiffer shell than 2door (for example 4dr golf3gti was stiffer than 2dr), and longer wheel base is easier to handle and get corrected in most cases (just like 309gti handled better than 205gti due to longer wheelbase and a better chassis balance)..well dc2 maybe has a better weight balance, but dc8 has credibly a stiffer body and longer wheelbase helps with a grip, so it shouldn't be any worse at cornering than dc2 (if not better:/), but surely easier corrected when losing grip..so it's hard to tell which one is better..but as i'm a fan of sedans, so i'd always choose a 4dr version having in mind daily driving and practicality..
yes it does handle a lot batter. And I say that from personal experience. When I was in my eary 20's a friend of mines had one here in Jamaica and it handled like it was on rails. it corners so damn flat. It was on Tein coil overs too. I prefer it to the DC2. But i'm settling for a DC2 as the few DB8's still running in the country, no one wants to sell them. They are too rear.
I think they only export cars from the auctions, and they also will help you import to Canada. There should be a link to their website in the description.
Never seen one with headlights like that here in Canada, they all have the silly bug-eye look. Did they ever sell them with this headlight in North America?
This headlight is the JDM one for the later model Integras. Here in Japan we also had the quad round headlights but only briefly and never for the Type R. Many people in Canada will convert the headlights to the JDM ones because it looks great.
I own a jdm Honda ascot innova CB3 only sold at Honda primo , live in Canada and as far as I knew it's the only one here and I'd like to see another one lol , need parts etc , she's my daily it's similar to the Europen cc7 accord same rear end different front so it also has a sistercar the rover 623 , these all came with a factory h23 5 speed si options , my Innova has a f22a6 swapped original motor was a f20b , thought I'd share maybe someone has seen one before
That is a secret. Though if you are wanting to price out a similar car, we can send you a quote price using past sales statistics. Send an email. Links are in the description.
Funny thing. At the moment we can't sell to people in Japan because of how our company is set up as an exporter. While it is legal for us to do so we would lose money on each sale.
@PacificCoastAuto, wow a 4 door Type-R? I had no idea these even existed! I used to be a proud owner of a 2001 Acura Integra Type-R 2door coupe in nighthawk black that was repainted to championship White along with the front end jdm conversion with HIDs. Such great memories, so sick it's going to Canada...
Import a DC2/DB8 to Ireland? Ireland has the cheapest prices on the planet for these. Crazy insurance premiums(if you can even get insured on one) have effectively killed the market for the JDM stuff here. You'd be lucky to sell one for much more than 4-5000 euro(about the same in US dollars). Any higher priced examples just sit in the classifieds not selling. Even the four grand ones are a hard sell. So many end up being broken for parts because of this. Now maybe if it was a one off "lifetime car" buy I could see it and having perused/stalked :) this channel they have some lovely examples of all sorts of JDM beauties, but on top of all the insurance stuff, the import tax(es) would hurt.
It is being imported to Canada, if the importer is doing to re-sell then it will probably come up in autotrader or something like that but usually the re-sellers don't permit these videos to go up. If the importer is doing it for personal use I doubt this car will be sold for a long time it's so nice, and that would be my guess.
One DB that James bond didn't get to drive
😁😂😂. Haha good one
Dames Bond
I humbly submit this is the most beautiful four door presented on this channel. Congratulations to the buyer!
Holy shit. Lucky guy whoever got this car.
Derek! Stop it! You make me want this car :) As I am a sedan guy i prefer the DB8 over the DC2, just such a great performance and handling and look.
I drove the car for the "Let's Drive Japan" channel today. It was awesome. The video won't be up until around the end of the year through.
Yeah, already subscriped to lets drive japan. Just upload it there today, it wont hurt :)
Is there any different between those dc2 and db8?
What a gorgeous DB8. Even with the miniscule "issues", I'd still call it flawless.
If it had the orignal steering wheel it would have been an 10/10 imho. Now i'd say it's a 9,9/10. Just amazing you can still get one in this state. Just hope the new owner will keep it as clean.
You know, I agree with you completely. I would prefer the stock steering wheel considering how great the car is. Though at least they picked an excellent aftermarket unit so they don't lose too much.
Its a 9.8 Because I dont think thats the stock wing
Yea, the camera always seem to pickup the valvetrain noise over anything else.
Honda only "hand built" this 96spec b18c from late 1995 to mid 1996. Later versions used a machine porting process that was not able to be replicated by hand in it's quality.
This is news to me. Thanks for sharing.
C Swiss they still did some hand assembly of the engine. For example, the connecting rod bolts were torqued by a person also using a micrometer to measure correct bolt stretch. Each engine's pistons were hand selected to be a set based on their weight, to be extremely closely matched.
C Swiss actually it's the Opposite of what your saying. Honda switched to machine based valve seats and ports grinding because that process was more Precise, and cost effective for them.
Thanks for the video Derek, being a four door integra owner this makes me happy
Just to be picky. That spoiler is from a Si/SiRG, not Type R. Those H decals on the guards /fenders aren't stock. Also red Recaros were only an option for the DC2, DB8 was black only. Easy to swap though.
This care is so perfect.. I hope who ever got this takes care of it!
Whoever bought this is one lucky owner!! Such an good car in amazing unmolested condition. Hopefully the buyer keeps it in stock form.
im on a weird 4 door jdm car kick lately.....is it because im turning 30? lmao
Tyler Ashton check out Euro R (CL1) Accords 😉
Tyler Ashton
Yup ! 4door jdm's make way more sense
Get a civic sedan then
VIP lifestyle
I'm in my 20s and I love quick sedans
That E39 in the backround makes me happy. Hope we'll see a video of it
excellent walk through as always. I enjoyed watching this informative video. got to see the entire car, trunk, engine, interior and even narrowed down to the shift knob! next time show the headlights / high beams smaller details that nobody really gets to see. just a suggestion. thank you!! have a nice day ~

Remember when Honda's made some badass cars in the 90's everyone wanted? Now what do they make...hmmmm I guess they did bring a civic Type R to the states finally but common, Honda has been a snorefest.
They did bring back the NSX twice. And I liked the Acura TSX/Honda Accord CL.
The new NSX and CTR are loaded with all this crap they put in cars nowadays.
CTR = 3111 pounds
ITR = 2600 pounds
Speed academy did a cool comparison between the two and the CTR is definitely a better car in a lot of ways, however the integra is more fun to drive. Their new cars are just not as fun to drive.

Holy hell thats clean!!. Since my DB8 was recently stolen im on the market for a DB8-R or CL7 Euro-R.
Man, the CL7 is a car I really want to check out.
oldsklteg WTF they all get stolen don't they
What an absolute beauty!
Didn't know the type r came in a sedan, and I consider myself to be a big honda fan. Interesting
This is really cool, I haven't seen one of these in the UK
Good, cars rot In the uk
7:35 The 4 door Integras were sold here in the U.S.
Ryan L
he meant the 4 dr db8 type r was never produced in the states. just the dc2 itr were
Yes, correct. I am not always wrong the way I was in the Civic video from last month... lol
I wonder why the 4 door got pillarless windows and the "coupe" (if u will) got pillared windows
I'm just here after reading up that Acura is coming out with all new Integra late next year 🔥🔥
Lovely ITR. I drive a DB1 sedan and this would be a superb upgrade.
base Idle speed looked to be higher than what's recommended for that car which is 700+-50
nice car, tidy example. FYI - this db8r is missing the original rear spoiler (factory size is a little higher), it appears to have a normal si/siR spoiler. fender stickers are not factory, also all db8r came factory with black recaro front seats. Yes, they don't come with clocks factory, but have a plug at the back behind the factory "integra" panel for you to plug in a si/sir clock.
I spoke about the spoiler on the video I shot today for our other channel (Let's Drive Japan) and I mentioned that I thought that there was an option for the spoiler to take the tall one or the short one.
Oh man. I would SO option out that dashboard clock. Totally worth the $250.
I have this tiger; it is fantastic...I never want to let it go
You are a lucky man. I have a 98 4door LS I want a real DB8
No one should let it go, it's reliable, fun, and practical :D
The sad part is it doesn't have an ITR sedan spoiler it has the SI VTEC / sir-g
wow, a stock stereo too! I really hope this car goes to BC I would love to check it out. I would suggest to the owner to replace timing belt since you didn't mention it, and also get the car undercoated right away. also gotta say this car is super clean.
I didn't see if there was a sway bar in the trunk (near the very back) it was OEM on the DC2.
Right, I didn't actually do the full report on this car. I would have liked to spend more time in it. Your DC2 was our first one. I remember it clearly.
How much are the db8 type r's going for Derek? Btw, that is one lucky owner right there, congrats!
i hear no one ever mention that lil button (or sensor) like i see on the driver door of my 1998 Honda integra DC1. it makes me think keyless entry is nothing new compared to how they boast that nowadays. I dont see it on this one tho. Mine is coupe.
If anyone know please update me
The 4 doors were available in canada. Not sure on the US. They are however exceedingly rare. Even compared to the standard Integra.
based off listening to that Honda engine if it was me I'd change the Oil and use a genuine honda filter. follow that up with a Valve adjustment when the motor is Cold to the touch.
Your vids are top notch!
Thanks Diggy T.
Two vids a day! Neat!
I love 4drs that thing is spotless
My favorite video on the channel I actually own a db8 gsr I would love to see more of these if you could do a review on the 98-01 type r db8's that would be sick love the jdm videos #DB8FTW
I NEED those front/rear seats. They're gorgeous.
+PacificCoastAuto I have seen a hand full of 4 door base integras but, they seem to be dropped after 1-2 years bad sales? Most of them are rotted out by now. (Toronto)
Question: how much would this same car cost in automatic to be delivered to a South Carolina port in the USA?
Hi i have a ukdm spec integra type r with very low genuine milage but it does not has the original engine it has the japan version engine B18c does it affect the cost of the car ?
How can I find the Japanese registration number of my JDM import.
my step dad had a 95 integra 4door. he then gave it to my uncle who wrecked it.
rip
subie skyline34 sorry for your loss. 😔😰😭😭
about time finally
Im literally just repeating "its so hott, its so hot, omg its so HoT" like I'm possessed or sumn
B18c5?
How much to get one now to Alberta
How much will it cost to have one of those imported?
those headlights look way better than the US Acura version
It's more beautiful than the 2 door Integra Type R
Are we gonna see the 5 series in the back?
How much was this to be imported to canada?
Is the price it was sold for confidential or is it just plain none of the viewers business. I would luv to get anidea of what these sell 4 in US dollars
So damn clean!!!
the 4dr handles better then the 2dr theres more stiffen in the chassis
Is it true?
I would love to do a back to back comparison.
PacificCoastAuto yes its true been covered before with the extra wheel base helps with grip without making the rear loose
it must be true, cos lots of 4door cars have a stiffer shell than 2door (for example 4dr golf3gti was stiffer than 2dr), and longer wheel base is easier to handle and get corrected in most cases (just like 309gti handled better than 205gti due to longer wheelbase and a better chassis balance)..well dc2 maybe has a better weight balance, but dc8 has credibly a stiffer body and longer wheelbase helps with a grip, so it shouldn't be any worse at cornering than dc2 (if not better:/), but surely easier corrected when losing grip..so it's hard to tell which one is better..but as i'm a fan of sedans, so i'd always choose a 4dr version having in mind daily driving and practicality..

When I was in my eary 20's a friend of mines had one here in Jamaica and it handled like it was on rails. it corners so damn flat. It was on Tein coil overs too. I prefer it to the DC2. But i'm settling for a DC2 as the few DB8's still running in the country, no one wants to sell them. They are too rear.
Can you do more videos on the Toyota Altezza!
I think I have one from a few years ago on my channel. we lost a number of videos when we took down all the videos from the port last year.
I just bought one ✅
Can you do a review on a Honda Civic FD2r?
Is it possible to import these India ?
In the future I plan to get a AE 86 in AE 86 special shop where is located in Kyoto. Could you guys help me to ship to Canada ? Thank you
I think they only export cars from the auctions, and they also will help you import to Canada. There should be a link to their website in the description.
Never seen one with headlights like that here in Canada, they all have the silly bug-eye look. Did they ever sell them with this headlight in North America?

the db8 do not come with red interior only black
Thanks for the tip
Perfect. I was gonna swap these black seats into my DB8 GS-R, and I didn't really know Type-R sedans existed, so bonus.
David Renteria I have to sets of rear db8 seats very nice seats
I thought i knew everything about integras LUL
Is this a real 4 door type R or just a engine swap.
Real of course
I would hv bought it if it was still available!
I love it. Wish I could import it to my country
@Pacific Coast if someone gives you money can you get them a car and have it shipped to Canada and what's the cost
Yes, we purchase from auctions on behalf of customers form overseas.
Check out our website for details.
I own a jdm Honda ascot innova CB3 only sold at Honda primo , live in Canada and as far as I knew it's the only one here and I'd like to see another one lol , need parts etc , she's my daily it's similar to the Europen cc7 accord same rear end different front so it also has a sistercar the rover 623 , these all came with a factory h23 5 speed si options , my Innova has a f22a6 swapped original motor was a f20b , thought I'd share maybe someone has seen one before
why would you want to pay almost 12000 dollars for a car I can find here in Canada for less then that ?
Can you disclose the price the buyer paid in CAD? Really curious !!! Thanks. Great video by the way
That is a secret. Though if you are wanting to price out a similar car, we can send you a quote price using past sales statistics. Send an email. Links are in the description.
I'm posting this to my page!!☝️😌✈️🇯🇵🏁☀️☘️
If im gonna sell my Accord cl7
This is the car im gonna buy
Just Wonder if its legal in Norway 😮
not my favourite sedan in terms of appearance, but the rest is a dream..the same for condition, couldn't be any better..
Why can't you send the number plates?
It is stealing because they don't belong to people in Japan.
i hope it wont get riced or slammed man,nice car
It seems to be in good hands.
Thats great to hear, love your videos man!
Seriously, its nice how it sits
@Pacific Coast I want this to buy
Dereck by this time next year I shall be stationed in Japan what can I get for 6k?
Funny thing. At the moment we can't sell to people in Japan because of how our company is set up as an exporter. While it is legal for us to do so we would lose money on each sale.
It's very rare to see a four door integra in the US almost all are the 3dr
Just got one
I want to buy this
Oh man, i didnt know that this db8 even exists... i really need to bump up my knowledge about acuras/ hondas
@PacificCoastAuto, wow a 4 door Type-R? I had no idea these even existed! I used to be a proud owner of a 2001 Acura Integra Type-R 2door coupe in nighthawk black that was repainted to championship White along with the front end jdm conversion with HIDs. Such great memories, so sick it's going to Canada...
wow this is a nice one
Good shape for this ITR
Good thing that the 1,800cc to HP conversion rule did not apply to Hondas... 😆😄😁
do u import to Ireland
Yes
Import a DC2/DB8 to Ireland? Ireland has the cheapest prices on the planet for these. Crazy insurance premiums(if you can even get insured on one) have effectively killed the market for the JDM stuff here. You'd be lucky to sell one for much more than 4-5000 euro(about the same in US dollars). Any higher priced examples just sit in the classifieds not selling. Even the four grand ones are a hard sell. So many end up being broken for parts because of this.
Now maybe if it was a one off "lifetime car" buy I could see it and having perused/stalked :) this channel they have some lovely examples of all sorts of JDM beauties, but on top of all the insurance stuff, the import tax(es) would hurt.
It looks like this car has (Si/SiR?) wing on it rather than the original Type R wing. Sort of bothers me :/
Mikael K I actually prefer this wing
looks better imo than the big Type R wing
Mick Who yeah, for some reason it looks hella clean
never seen that type of type R before
is it for sale?
No those cars are already sold
It is being imported to Canada, if the importer is doing to re-sell then it will probably come up in autotrader or something like that but usually the re-sellers don't permit these videos to go up. If the importer is doing it for personal use I doubt this car will be sold for a long time it's so nice, and that would be my guess.
Man some people are so stupid...
Justin L does anyone know how much one of these goes for?
that's super rare !!
This is dope
It's very nice
I knew there were 4 door Integras. But I didn"t know there was a 4 door Type-R.
it is a nicer handling car than the DC2. I speak from experience as we had a lot of the 99 model DB8s hear in Jamaica.
I'd take the parts off of that and transplant them into my DB7 4 door LS.
^^ this is what has fucked the supply of nice Rs. So many nice cars sacrificed so your LS integra or shitty civic can be "mad tite JDM yo"
A 4 door heck yea best R ever
USA 25 years omg I need to move to CA
I have this car too!!!
These sell for $10,000 to $35,000 these days on bringatrailer
beauty.
Man I want this but I live in the usa
nicer than' thé 2 door
すっごい綺麗なインテだね😍💕VTEC最高😃⤴⤴💃あーやっぱ顔はイケメンだわ😚ハンドルはmomoだ🎶
4 lug?? hmm
5-lug came with the 1998 refresh.
