2008 Javan R1 SOLD


2008 JAVAN R1

  • Excellent condition, with only 1, 400 miles from new
  • An amazing, hand built, low production track day sportscar from England.
  • Fully street legal
  • 0-60mph in 3.5 seconds, and 0-100mph in 9.7 are achieved using a perfectly stock Honda/Acura 2.0liter V-Tec motor
  • This particular car has a low mileage "donor" 2.0 Acura RSX Type S motor with Hondata ECU
  • Approximately 210 HP
  • 6-speed Honda/Acura transmission.
  • Honeycomb aluminum safety cell commissioned from Reynard with separate laser cut sub-frames,
  • Only 1400 pounds, total weight! 
  • Left hand drive.
  • One of only 4 in the USA,
  • Florida titled as a "2008 Javan" 
  • Designed originally as a street legal track car, it features fully adjustable suspension
  •  Race type laser cut stainless steel wishbones (A-arms) front and rear
  •  Bespoke lightweight steering rack
  •  Fully adjustable springs/shocks
  •  Competition type AP brake calipers at the front, and Brembo at the rear, (same as a Lotus Elise/Exige)

  • Stainless steel exhaust system
  • Toyo Proxes R888 performance tires fitted to Team Dynamics 16-inch front, and 17-inch rear wheels.
  • Set up for street use, with a detachable steering wheel for easy access. A heater/defroster is fitted.
  • A Hondata programmable ECU is fitted in order to get the most from the stock motor. This means that where the regular Honda/Acura motor cuts into Vtec mode at around 6000rpm, the Javan’s low weight enables the Vtec to work from as low as 3500rpm. This adds about 20 useable mid-range horsepower, and lets the motor be “on song” from 3500rpm, all the way to 9500rpm
  • Stainless steel headers and free flow exhaust system
  • The prototype’s track testing was carried out by the leading European Historic Formula One (F1) driver, who liked the car so much, that he bought one! He found that on the track, the Javan’s times were considerably faster than the Ferrari F430, and the Porsche GT3.

    The Javan R1 offers supercar performance and huge track day fun at a most affordable price.
