Re: 98 CW ITR WellCOme to my house ...
Todd00 always seems so uptight in his posts/replies. I can appreciate the ITR enthusiasm but no need to come across so brash.
OP, it's your $$ so enjoy your caR and keep us posted on your mods.

I don't need the lecture and frankly this forum is long past offering any valuable info unfortunately (or it was all done by 2003). In '04 had this same post of come up, everyone would have been steering him toward fixing what was broken first, then doing bling later. Obviously though, people are going to do what they want to, regardless of any internet advice. He posted it up to show off his JDM parts and that's about it. You can swat flies with a swatter or lure with honey, but it really isn't going to matter either way in the grand scheme of things.
As for ITRs being $2500, *any* with under 100K and are somewhat stock/clean title/not wrecked are still going to sell for far more than that, so I don't consider what basically amounts to a more complete shell even being in the discussion.
And I'm not sure I care at this point. Not being an @ss, I just don't really care. Been around for far too long and seen folks come and go. But, it is easy to weed out those who appreciate the car/know the history and what it is about from those who want it for the bling/name cachet.
Oh well.

Simply put, most who truly appreciate this car aren't on this board. I'm trying to help bring light to new members and maybe, just maybe bring other experienced users back. I'm only here because others before me enrichened this board and ITR Expo for me.
FYI I bought a complete, clean title, 98-0197 for $2500. It needed an axle, a battery, and a distributor. The only reason I brought that up initially was to point out that these cars sell all day long for 8-9k in good condition, and less for poor condition. With those sale prices we there isn't going to be base of older users on this board. That information may help should you ultimately decide to stay/care/contribute/stick around.

South Cali? Be careful. Your smart by registering it elsewhere, hiding your city from your profile, but make sure you invest in some solid security layers now. Avoid local car meets, etc. Word of mouth is a leading factor in thefts. Enjoy!

I said I don't want a title!
Re: 98 CW ITR WellCOme to my house ...
This forum hasn't been the same since it banned half of the ITR forum. Other long term members are back here trying to help bring back the community, and that's the only reason I'm here. Simply put, if you aren't here to add the community then why are you here? Your attitude of "it doesn't really matter" kind highlights the reason you shouldn't be posting nagging comments. If you don't care that's fine, no one is holding you to it, but if you are just going to bring down the community then I care-and that's why I'm tired of holding my tongue.

And a hookup price/someone not knowing or caring what they have does not constitute the normal selling price of a running ITR.
Regardless, you'll never get everyone back here. It's a depressing place--why should they come back, especially after all the bad blood that happened? That and folks just don't care about the car like they used to. This post should make it pretty obvious that it's a cachet thing and nothing to do with the car/community itself.
,continue doing what your doing..build your car to your liking so you can enjoy it.

As far as the $2500 deal you know that was beyond a freak deal because the hairbomb went off in that car. I can't recall a clean titled/running ITR selling for under 8k ever (I'm sure some have slipped). On the bell curve this transaction is the very first pixel on the far left.
Not that my two cents need to be added but I'm with Todd on this one. It's 2012, not sure why we're still hacking up ITR's for accord front ends.

Re: 98 CW ITR WellCOme to my house ...
I asked a question to OP. While you may have a theory about it, I was waiting to see what OP said before I said anything more.
Your theory seems to work for the average kid who buys a 98 Civic Ex, but usually ITR folks know what they bought and how good the car is stock. They plan their mods accordingly, not just what they can pickup locally on craigslist or @ a JDM swapmeet.

Again, what is your goal with this car? From the looks of some of those pics, you should probably stop spending money on Ti exhausts and Volk wheels and spend some on getting the car back to good running/looking shape. I'm sure it is in need of bushings and it certainly appears to be missing some bits and pieces under the hood.
Plus, you have to de-rice what the previous owner did.
Just IMO.

I wasn't aware that you were elected Den Mother of the ITR forum.

Your posts make you sound like a douche. Are you the type of person who will bitch at someone for putting a turbocharger on an ITR or taking the spoiler off of it?
If we all listened to what you said, everyone would have the same vehicle.
If putting certain parts on your ITR makes you happy then more power to you, but dont get on the OP and turn into a bitch for putting volks on his car, or different seats.
Simply put, hit the back button and move on. It didnt sound like you enjoy this forum much anyways, and frankly, its more than likely much better without you.

Re: 98 CW ITR WellCOme to my house ...
kind of curious what the current year has anything to do with changing the front end of an ITR to what an ITR looks like in Japan.

Re: 98 CW ITR WellCOme to my house ...
Because it was done, and over done in the early to mid 2000's. Honestly, I didn't think people were still doing this. I purchased a JDM-fronted R at one point in my life so I'm not scoffing, but it seems that there are enough around that have the work already done and are semi-less desirable on the resale side of things.

Re: 98 CW ITR WellCOme to my house ...
Douche or @ss? I think I was being more of an @ss, personally. But, truth will sometimes do that.
Nope, I'm far from a 100% stock guy. But, I'm also for replacing oem parts with better parts or parts made for a specific/intended purpose. Don't you find it funny that OP chooses to throw on every piece of JDM bling he can get ahold of rather than fix the obvious other issues with the car? I guess I'm funny that way in that I'd want to get the car fixed rather than JDM'ing it out first, circa 2002.
As I said, it is his car and his money and I won't lose any sleep over it. But he posted the thread up "bragging" and he'll need to take the good with the bad. I'm glad he now has a Type R that he can "Super Autobacs" out and impress some of the internets.
Who are you again? Do you own an ITR or are you just here for the leg-humping or chance to drop the fact that you think a turboed GSR is better than an ITR? We've seen them all, just so state your intent and we'll move accordingly.

who are you? you must be one of those guys who looks down their nose at people who mod their ITR's "non functionally". You realize youre complaining about OP putting volks on his car? You make it sound like you know more about the OP's vehicle more than he does. what problems has the OP stated his car has that needed fixing? or that you could pick out from the very few pictures he has even posted? What do you want him to do? paint his car all white because having a black top is rice? You want him to put a new valve cover on there?
omfg ITR was made for the cornerz why arent you adding more functional parts on to it instead of volks bro? wtf?
who really cares? apparently you do since you have the time of day to respond to these messages.
I never once stated that I think my turbo gsr is better than an ITR at all, but if you want to imply it go for it. I had a turbo gsr because I like forced induction, no matter how unfunctional anybody may think it is. I was also still able to autocross it as well.
