The Honda Integra Type R DC2 is the latest car to benefit from Tolman Engineering’s meticulous restomod treatment.
Part of the Tolman Edition series, the Honda coupé is restored to an OEM+ standard and four of the Integras will be completed by the firm.
Careful building of the 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine makes sure it delivers 190bhp on the dyno, even though it has been kept in entirely standard specification.
Nitron dampers replace the originals for better control, while the 15-inch Enkei wheels are shod with the latest Michelin Pilot Exalto 2 tyres.
Some additional sound proofing has been added to the Integra to make it easier to live with on a daily basis.
It has taken 740 hours to rebuild the car to the customer’s specification and company boss Chris Tolman said: ‘he brief started with a colour change to sit alongside the owner’s Tolman Edition 205 GTi, but once we stripped the car we could see it deserved the full job done properly.
‘When the panels are not available you either compromise or make them yourself. We’ll never compromise, so the answer was clear. The result is a build that stays true to the Integra, is sharp to drive and can be used with confidence.’
