Default A Decision has been made...Goodbye R

Well I always thought I would keep this car, but after all it is only a car.

I have decided to sell her off and pick up a used Eclipse or comparable vehicle. I had been giving this some thought recently since the urge to buy a nice home has been playing in the back of my mind. My wife and I are also planning to start trying to have children within the next year.

My plan is to get rid of the ITR and hopefully get a house with the next two years. After we have the house nailed down I will pickup a better vehicle. With the way the market is shaping up I will have some good choices, but there is always the possibility of getting another ITR. I must admit though that my dream vehicle is a BMW.

I am looking to sell for $18500 which will cover what I owe and give me a couple bucks back. If anyone has any advice on how to sell the car and then use the proceeds to pay off the Loan I would greatly appreciate it.

Also, for anyone interested I will be selling teh following items:
Spoon Header (Only on since September)
Carsound Cat(Only on since September)
ApexN1 exhaust (Less than 1 year)
PIAA1100 Driving Lights
AEM CAI (Has a slight gouge from Air Conditioning)
Nose Mask (Only used for two weeks when I first bought the car)
Mugen Radiator Cap

I still plan on hanging out on this board. It is by far the best group of people on any message board. Who knows if the Expo isn't sold out maybe I can sneek in with my Eclipse (If that is what I end up getting).

Most likely it will be an M3, but too far off to tell. Won't be until after the house is squared away and even then it will be used. I am still a big fan of the 3 and 5 series. It will probably be a 3.

I am actually partial to mistus as crazy as that may be. My first car they I chose and paid for was a 95 GS-T. It is still going strong with 193K miles. Trust me I did not treat that car well at all either and never needed any serious engine work. We will see about the BMW thing. It will be a few years before I buy knew and who knows what the options will be.

If it helps one of my ultimate dream cars would be a NSX-T in Silver.

you seriously depressed me. I've been doing the small infant in the teg thing for a while and it sucks,I have like 3 car seat scratchs on the passenger side, but oh well,the vibration from my exhaust puts him to sleep. Oh, I think my next car will be an M3 too (the good chit with the smg gearbox comes out this year). So anyway, how much do you want for the header?

I am looking for $600.00 for the Header. It is in excellent condition adn has only one light small scratch underneath. I din't bottom out since I am on stock suspension. It may have been caused by pebbles and normal road debris. I am removing all parts this weekend and will hopefully be able to borrow a digi cam and post pictures for those that would like to see pictures.

As far as my rep goes hopefully TypeRmsm or ITR0032 can help vouch for me. I have been on this board for two years and never had any issues with anyone. I am 27, married and have a good paying job so I am not looking to scam anyone.

if I didnt have the ITR...I'd probably have a GSX or GS-T...but then I'd be just a drag racer.

my friend has a 95 civic with a B20/vtec revhard turbo in it and red sparcos sitting on ground control/tokico suspension with 17" rims.. and theres a baby seat in the back, its hillarious but luckily the wife has a pathfinder so they take that mostly everywhere for the family stuff..

Does recaro really have a carseat? Do you have a link? Will it match my usdm interior? Were just about ready to go front-facing. I also need one of those baby on board signs so all the cute little neons with altezzas quit trying to race me when my son's in back.

Eric is a good guy Still sad to see you sell, but its for good reasons Best wishes to you and your wife.
Just remembered the first time I saw your R at the haffners carwash, thought you were Charlie

PS I wouldnt mind a 3 series either and If you want to go to the Expo, Im sure i can give you a lift out there or maybe a few laps around the track

I`m almost 31 having a girl and an almost 4 years old son. I own an ITR and my Honda VFR and my gf drives an Opel Tigra. For holidays we took the ITR for the trip

Very often I thought of selling the Integra for an Accord Type R.... Maybe a good compromise.... What do you think ? BMW don`t do that.
