EVERYTHING WRONG WITH THE CHEAPEST INTEGRA TYPE R IN THE COUNTRY
I've bought the cheapest Honda Integra Type R in the UK. Costing just £1750 the chance to buy this car came to me during my trade up series for a super car. In this video we show everything wrong (on the surface) with the car. Will we be able to save this and turn a profit to reach the goal of trading it for our next car in the process, or have we bit off more than we can chew ?

looking forward to this
I'm not !😂 That's for watching we appreciate it 👍🏻
@@identitycarcare477 if i could I'd be there helping to learn all i could ,im trying to rebuild an ek.
Good test for the boot, that’s pretty solid duct tape should be enough
I was actually expecting to go straight through onto the ground when the first foot went in, credit to the paint job I think its the only thing holding the car together hah
Great video mate. Good luck 🤞
thanks for the support it means a lot
Nice video, but im not sure if this car can be saved it might be better just parting it out, however if you can save it it would be a nice video series. Goodluck.
Thanks for the support, I'm not giving up just yet but I think shes still got a lot more to reveal to us yet
It's not that bad
Integra Type R's are not cheap. Even in terrible condition they go for thousands of dollars.
Shes scrap mate had an ek4 same way! Old hondas suck for rust and Its a shame
I'm a hopeless romantic when it comes to rotten old hondas, but I think shes still a lot more to reveal to us yet
Following
Thanks for the support
Class! Gid laugh m8 👌
Thanks for the support Neal !
Good luck with this man 🍀😎
Thanks we'll need all the support we can get 👍🏻👍🏻
I have some videos of it running a few years ago, I helped get it running and driving again. It drove pretty well then considering. 🇲🇽 Hoping to see it back on the road!
I would love to see these if you're able to send them ? Because it's history and low ownership I would love if its possible to get it back to it's glory days.
A knew that would start first time once fuel pump was primed If you save this id be buzzed obvs bodywork wise its probs one of the worst out there but it is still saveable
Next episode I'll be stripping the full interior out to get a full look at what we're dealing with. Although it's technically part of a trade series I'd love to save this and have a year with it myself. The B series engine is great and I've got an awfa love for the Honda's for reasons I just couldn't explain 😂
@@identitycarcare477 aye definitely av had a B18c4 MB6 vti and a MC2 vti Aerodeck 82k when bought the deck used minimal oil the mb6 had 150k and used a litre in 250 miles a reget buying my first one , but my mc2 was bulletproof if you go too sell it in a year let me know longshot but id buy a DC2 even if it was ropey and was fixable i, dying too buy another vti if a cant get a dc2
This runs smooth as when it fired up, no smoke or nothing which surprised me. One way or another there will be a dc2 for sale at the end of this 👍🏻
@@identitycarcare477 amazing im not suprized both vti started first time even my nail of a mb6 that burned oil like fuck started first go
Glad you got it running but just watching this video scares me and its not even my car 😦 Looking at that shell I would just try and make a profit from breaking it to save time and money and move on. I reckon you'll be into it for well over 10 grand just fixing the shell.
There's a lot of shell cuts available on dc2 pages which could be an option, or rolling shells for 4k mark. With a re shell and engine overhaul we could maybe end up at 8k all in without man hours into consideration and possibly get 10k in trade value against the next car 🤷🏻♂️ a lot of work to make 2k profit when like you say I'd probably make that in breaking it and move on a lot quicker. We're a saving channel though so we'll have to do our best to save the car in whatever capacity first.
Jacking it off 😂
Can you imagine the rust falling off while I jacked it off ?? Would have no car left at the end 😂😂🙈🙈
@@identitycarcare477 sorry I had to, appealed to my silly sense of humour. Good luck with the build
Silly sense of humour is why I didn't edit that part out 😂 it's all welcome here. Thanks for the support
Great video! Looking forward to the next trad 😅
Haha thanks for the support it's appreciated.
I recently done my 1st track day at knockhill too. Was class but definitely need a novice night to find my feet and some track day buddies as it’s daunting when you feel all alone out there. Brilliant video👍
Thanks for watching it means a lot. 100% know how you feel, it's not as easy as it looks. Infact I seen on one of the knockhill pages someone rolling a megane yesterday. Thankfully everyone got out safe to an extent. We'll be posting on here our next track day which hopefully wont be to far away as I have track credit on my account and you're more than welcome to join us for a blast.
Re-shell is going to be WAY cheaper. Panels alone probably going to cost as much as a decent shell. I didn't realise how much of a state it was when you were talking to me about it! haha
A few people have been selling big cuts for decent money but for the sake of time as well a Re-shell would make most sense. We'll see what she uncovers during the tear down because I don't think we've even scratched the surface yet in terms of rust 😆
Class thats the most Rotten Honda av ever seen ! Hope that’s saveable a prefer B series too K
My first experience with a car engine was working on a EK9 B16B with a £30 socket set from ebay. I'm looking forward to tearing this engine down and getting it up restored. We'll see what happens with the shell but I think it's got a few more surprises to show us 🙈
@@identitycarcare477 class my pal has a ek9 but unfortunately its a k20 they are good engines but a prefer b
Some tune out a K20 but I agree the B series is class
What accent is that? Is it an Irish accent?😂 You're in the recommendation now mate!
Scottish but so viewers have a chance of understanding what I'm saying this is my best English accent so yeah it might sound Irish 😂😂. Thanks for watching we appreciate the support ♥️
You are a braver man than me. I certainly wouldn't know where to start with that. Hope you can turn it around and make a healthy profit.🙏
Yeah I'm not sure what I've gotten myself in for yet 🤣 It's a make or break car already and we're only 2 episodes into the series 🤣
You got your work cut out with that .Oh and rust lol.
Yeah it's going to be a big one 😂. There was a shell lined up but it sold before we had the chance. First job is to completely strip it down so we can see exactly what we're dealing with. Pray for us 🙏🏻😭😂
Thanks sounds great
No weekly vids when next vid in series gone too be ??
Thanks for watching, I don't have a specific upload day for videos. I work shifts at aerospace and run the garage full time as well so depending on the workload each week how quickly I can record and edit so the videos go up as soon as they're ready but I try to aim for 7-10 days. The next car in the trade is a JDM car and a long project in terms of footage for the channel. I'm hoping it's ready tonight or tomorrow I just have the finishing bits to edit. Unfortunately I don't get paid from the channel, I'd love nothing more than to be doing it full time but I need to continue working hard to get there. Thanks for your patience
@@identitycarcare477 If you want to make your videos appear in more people's recommendations you need to upload regularly, most likely once a week on the same day & same time everytime
I know how it all works but it's a catch 22, I need to work the shifts and the extra in order to have the money to spend on the cars. Hopefully we'll be at a point soon where we can make changes which lead to more and more content for you guys. I'm also always trying to improve the quality of the videos and viewer experience which is very new for me so I really don't want to abandon this and put out lower quality videos. It's a great problem to have that people are asking for more and more so it's greatly appreciated and we'll continue to work harder and harder all the time 👍🏻
@15:02 Incorrect coolant. Use blue G48 coolant
Thanks for watching. To be honest I think it was red coolant in before so I replaced it like for like. I should have checked with parts supplier but I'll get it sorted thanks
Awesome thanks I’ve a 92 grey !! Let me know what happens and I can send pics of my ! Not been driving Gtir !!❤
Thanks for the support. I'm glad to have another Gtir owner watching.
This literally came up on my feed today! I subscribed immediately! Always an amazing feeling when you solve an electrical issue, good luck moving forward 😃
Glad to have you on board ! We appreciate the support 😁
"With the previous owner being a mechanic it should be in good condition". I'm a former mechanic and like most mechanics the last thing I wanted to do after work was to do work on my own car. Many mechanics drive absolute sheds because they can't be arsed to fix it but they won't pay someone else to because it's a job they can do themselves.
Yeah as soon as I done the voice over I knew that comment would come back to haunt me lol To be fair I think he was genuine with the car but the electrical problem was leaving him stuck.
I mean if you really gonna start doing this .... at least aim stupid high ... go for the F40 :D
I love this comment 😆 Aim for the stars🌠
This is a great idea for a series and I'm looking forward to following your progress. I loved how you persevered with the Mini and got it sorted. Really hope you get to the goal super car and can't wait to see what you get after the mini.
It's going to be a rollercoaster ride for sure especially with the next car lol It's the only way I'll ever get a chance to owner a car like this so we have to go all in !. Thanks for the support it means a lot
😂😂 fell a belter. Brilliant video
My pride broke most of the fall 🤣. Thanks for the support mate
That's the dream car! An Old mini so enjoyed this one. Mini daft 😂 ❤
One day I'll have my classic mini ready lol. Thanks for the support its appreciated
Good job
Thanks for the support it's appreciated 👍🏻
the gtir model is difficult and expensive. if in my place in Malaysia. the model that still has Nissan Sentra B13 and blue bird. 😀🇲🇾
I'm extremely lucky I managed to pick up my Gtir way back when they were going cheap. I don't think I would have been able to get one at today's prices
Such a beautiful part of the world. The scenery is stunning and the cars look great too. Love the drone shots. Great advice to get onboard with each others hobbies. But... my wife loves gardening and I love cars. I'm honestly scared that I might start to like gardening more than cars 😱
Thanks for the kind words it means a lot. I'm sure theres many garden centres that the project car could visit lol. Or just pick a beautiful part of the world that we did and it keeps everyone happy .
Great road trip guys
Thanks for the support it means a lot !!
Another top video! Sounds like you guys had more success with the motors on this day and could enjoy using them more as intended. Hopefully I can make the pilgrimage from London to Arran in my MR2 some time 😀
its very tempting isnt it
I hope watching me work on the pulsar spurs many people to get the tools out and get those projects finished !! I'm not even good at working on cars so if I can do it anyone can !!
Is that a high tech music system in that subaru I seen the tdk or a Memorex sticking out?!
I hope not because I'm sure the quality of sound isn't the best haha. I've never noticed though to be honest so I'll have to check for you
Good times 🔰🤠👊🏿
Really enjoyed this trip. One I'll never forget
Great videos, keep up the good work.
Thanks !! We're thankful for all the support
7:34 was that an eg civic if it was he's flashing because he's hailing a fellow jdm 90 car 😅🔰👈
It surprised me the amount of notice the cars got on a small island, literally people recording the cars coming off the ferry and everything lol
Epic track day. The Swift was surprising. You guys must be the first in the world to do Silverstone (or any track) with Jurassic Park seat covers. I'm looking forward to seeing Gary's next car.
Its a closer battle with the swift than I thought. Our next battle at Knockhill will be interesting with it being a much shorter track. I hope the Jurassic Park covers record lasts a long time for the sake of everyone lol. I'm not looking forward to garys next car because it means more work for me haha
It's not Health and Safety! Gary should be wearing PPE. Lucy is looking good.
Glad someones addressed the PPE. Lucy looks better with the standard wheels I think.
This is a brilliant road trip video guys. The downhill swing scene was comedy gold - had me in tears of laughter. Both cars looked great too but I think the Nissan is edging it :)
Thanks for watching ! We lost the audio from the fall which was a bummer. The audio was just as funny as the fall. As good as Subaru's are I think theres just something about the Pulsar.
That’s my Subaru you were next to 😅
No way ! 🤣 I actually moved from the opposite side of the car park just to park next to you 🤣. Lovely car obviously we're a big fan. We spotted a black blob eye on the other side of Arran as well.
@@identitycarcare477 Ah yeah that’s a nice one too, only 2 running Imprezas here I think…glad you enjoyed your trip on the island 👌
Loved every minute of it, We'll defo be back soon
Laughed so hard at this episode! Can see the two of you genuinely having fun. Cars looked good too.
Honestly one of the best road trips I've been on for both the cars and the scenery. Thanks for watching it means a lot
There's no question Michelle won on the swings btw!
I must have been slowing down at the point when she went higher. Might need VAR check on it though.
Mega, Paul! It was good to see you at the JDM Scotland meet!
I'm so happy you've watched ! Watching your videos pushes me to make mine better. We really appreciate the support and can't wait to see more of your collection. Ps I bought that car I was telling you about on sunday... wait until you see it 🤣
Nice to see you enjoying it mate 👍👍👍 and I’m glad it beat the Impreza
Thanks for watching ! So glad I'm finnaly getting to enjoy this car after owning it for 8 years, Still a long way and loads of content to go though.
Some job on this! 😂 that fall 😅
I was mortified mate 🤣. I actually said I wasn't going to try it this time because it was downhill but Michelle said "just do it". The camera setting got messed up and we lost the audio unfortunately, it was equally as funny as the fall 🤣
Spotted, one of you is riding the clutch..
Spotted in the video ? What car was it ?
