Seven-spoke 15″ alloy wheels were reportedly mounted with Cooper tires in August 2022 and powder-coated white in preparation for the sale.

The seller states that the brake pads and rotors were changed in January 2021, while the power-steering rack and pump were replaced in October 2021.
The cabin features seating surfaces upholstered in black cloth with microsuede inserts and contrasting red stitching. Appointments include air conditioning, a digital clock, and power windows and locks as well as a Jensen touchscreen stereo. The seller notes that the clutch pedal stops were replaced in May 2021.
A plaque on the center armrest identifies this Type R as #0437 built for the model year.
The four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 150-mph speedometer, a tachometer with an 8,400-rpm redline, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 117k miles.
The 1.8-liter B18C5 DOHC inline-four features VTEC variable valve timing and was factory rated at 195 horsepower and 130 lb-ft of torque.
