You Need This: Highlighter yellow, Japanese-market Integra Type R

Tired of losing your car in the parking lot? Prefer to reverse your way through the drive-through? You’ll love this Honda Integra.

In addition to being fitted with JDM goodies like a Juran Racing Seat, Jasma headers and wheels from an R32 GT-R, the Integra also features a full roll cage, a…

Yes, I am tired of losing my car in a parking lot. Highlighter colors might be my solution. 🤔 I wonder if Sharpie-scented air fresheners are a thing.

Once upon a time we had a bright yellow Focus. It was replaced by a gray Mazda. Our kid spent a few days walking towards random cars in the parking lot before it registered that all cars are the same color, lol.

And that Integra is cool 😎 

I do need that, but I'd be eternally worried that it would get lost in a parking lot for other reasons.

I wonder if selling off all the JDM mods would cover the price of an unmodified dashboard...

There's a reason I don't own old Hondas anymore. Not so much by choice, but fear of it disappearing.

Are they still getting stolen that badly? 

We got the VIN etched into the glass on my wife’s 2000 Civic Si because it was at/near the top of the most-stolen list.

A lot of type R owners warned me about theft when I was looking at one a couple of years ago. I was surprised too.

Here is a USDM Phoenix yellow, salvage from theft but many, many new parts for 20k:

I've owned a couple yellow cars, for whatever reason they seem to attract bugs.

I'm not feeling that blue steering wheel, but a little dye could fix that.

The yellow would help you find it in the ditch it ends up in. 
 

I suppose theft rate has changed, but I doubt it.

I'm still nervous about mine. Both my usdm track dc2 and my JDM ITR. Kinda sucks, the ITR is such a nice weekend car but I'm paranoid every time I leave it alone.

Had several wishbone Hondas but never an Integra. JDM ITRs do look tempting, though.

I think they are still a decent value around $20k for a lower mileage one. Mine is close to 60k miles and pretty close to flawless.

I should leave this thread. :)

And at Mecum this summer, I spent more than a few minutes sitting in this 1998 Civic Type R. 

I was there when they took it to the auction block. You never forget the sound of that starter.

In reply to David S. Wallens :

Nice. Hah, yeah those 90s Honda starters always catch my ear when I hear one.

I've come pretty close to grabbing a EK CTR. On the hunt for a clean/fair priced Evo VI to go along with ITR.

Is that a factory color? It's definitely not Phoenix yellow

In reply to calteg :

Per the listing, it used to be white but was repainted.

Makes sense to me, as somehow I had it in my head that all early ITRs were white.
