Michael Alsip Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Car: 2001 Acura Integra Type R Mileage: 82,500 miles Owner: Michael Alsip Contact: PM me or E-Mail me at mistamike17[at]drivelex.com Summary: Offered for sale is my 2001 Acura Integra Type R prepared for TTD with points to spare and weight to pull. It is a successful and fast car with great reliability. It would be very easy to change this to a street car with a simple seat swap as the vehicle retains power steering, locks, windows, and A/C. This car is the culmination of years and years of working on Hondas. It comes from a corral of cars owned by my friends and myself that are simple and fast while maintaining stock-like reliability. This car was built with points to spare for NASA's TT program, competing in TTD at a race weight of around 2510 lbs. As you may guess, there is still a large amount of weight that could be pulled from the car. This car has been on the podium in every event it has been entered in, winning 3 of its 4 events. Dedication to detail and hard work have paid off in the form of this success and will continue to serve the future owner well. This car can be viewed any time in person at my house in Lexington, KY. It is garaged away from the elements at all times, so the only time it sees any precipitation is when in tow or on the race track. If Lexington is far out of your way, please get in contact with me as this vehicle will be attending events in the future that may be in your area. I'm positive that we can arrange something to allow you ride along if you wish to do so. Asking price for the whole setup with spares is $14,600. This will get you a vehicle ready for anything you throw at it. Throw a $600 bolt-in cage in it and go wheel to wheel racing if you'd like. I am confident that this setup will perform very well in the hands of any competent driver. I've listed the modifications below with a conservative estimate of their used values in parenthesis. If you look closely at the value of the used items, you'll find that I'm only asking $9500 for a stock Type R with under 85,000 miles. Start from there and choose what you'd like. I am confident that we can get this car set up exactly how you wish it to be.

jsbumed Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 What the hell, first Aaron and now you too? You both better have new cars to come out in as replacements. That said, good luck with the sale. If I had the money I'd be all over this. To anyone looking, this is a great car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Alsip Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 Lots of interest but no buyers. It's almost like there's a recession going on or something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
