I have EU R. Wheels for sale.

 

A heat gun makes the gas pedal a breeze! I used it on my 97' and it popped right off when it was nice and warm.


Looks great!

 

@slick gs-r: Good to know!

 

Got the oem jdm shift **** installed, pretty sure it's real, on ebay from Japan. Good deal too imo, about $60 shipped. The skunk2 shift kno I had on is for sale. I'll make a fs post. Also, because type r, I got a white Satin silky form fitted indoor car cover for heR.














Edit: better pic

 

nice. I had sold a oem ****

 

Looks nice! Very nice car cover.

I prefer the feel of that ****. I went with the OEM Canadian leather with red stich shift **** just to get the car back to all stock.

Silly question but since I have an 01 CDM ITR too I am curious is your factory CD player backlit amber or green?

 

the factory radio should light amber

 

I didn't realize the oem cdm shift **** was leather. The titanium oem is the best no doubt, but I might have to get my hands on a cdm just to have around on the occasion when I want to go full on stock mode. But mine's not really cdm stock anymore with jdm front end etc.

Yes just checked, my radio is backlit amber.

 

Ok thank you

 

Took heR up Angeles Crest today, first time driving up there actually. The jdm oem suspension is amazing imo. The handling overall is flat, and steering is impressive. Really enjoyed taking the turns and hearing the engine. Feels like such a solid car, all the boxes checked by the Honda engineers. Got a lot of thumbs up too.

 

Car is looking great man, love the simplicity! One way to keep the shift boot up that I've done is using an old valve cover hardware grommet (without the metal washer) and putting it on the shifter but under the shift boot. The grommet hole is a very snug fit so it holds it up nicely.

 

^Cool man, thanks!

 

This is lovely.

Did you buy the headlights brand new? They look it. If not, what's your secret to restoring them?

 

The jdm front conversion was done by one of the previous owners. Looks like they got a good one. Not sure if the lights were new or not at the time. I think she's been garaged and we'll cared for. I haven't restored the headlights since I got it.

 

Here's another headlight angle for your viewing pleasure. This was before I cleaned heR up though.

 

Took heR in the canyons today, and on the snake. The handling of an R amazes me. It's so neutral and balanced. The lsd gives me a lot of confidence with traction and coming out of corners. Such better handling and steering than my gsr too. I should prob put some itr suspension on my gsr to get it more dialed in.





Noticed that I have a scuff on the right part of the front lip. Meh, don't know how that happened.



I've been gathering sets of my favorite wheels. I now have a set of jdm 16s, Eu 15s (thanks halszaj), and te37s. Eus are in mint condition, jdms are almost mint, and volks will need to be refurbished. Might try to get them refurbished in cw paint, hope that doesn't offend anyone. If anyone knows of a good wheel refurbisher in the LA area let me know.

 

love it man. car is going in the right direction.

 

Thanks!!

 

Beautiful caR. Enjoy!

 

Great wheel collection@ I would love some project 15" TE37
