For sale my 1998 honda civic ek9 type r in championship white
honda introduced the ek9 civic type r in 1997 only in japan and it shared many characteristics with the integr. Type r. The car was put on a serious diet and anything unnecessary, such the sound deadening was removed.
power was produced by a 1. 6-litre hand ported b16b engine that boasted one of the highest power outputs per litre of all time for a naturally aspirated engine. With 182 horsepower at 8, 200 rpm and 118 lb ft at 7, 500 rpm, the ek9 civic type r was no slouch and could go from 0-100 km/ h (62 mph) in as little as 6. 7 seconds.
along with the hand ported engine, honda also fitted a front helical limited-slip differential and a close-ratio 5-speed manual transmission. To improve chassis rigidity, honda's engineers strategically seam welded the monocoque chassis, a first at the time. Cornering performance was also improved with the use of upgraded sway and strut bars.
on the inside, the ek9 type r was given a red themed interior, with red recaro bucket seats, red door cards, and red type r floor mats and carpet. To top it off, honda fitted the type r with a titanium shift knob and a momo leather-wrapped steering wheel.
