no pics yet...but it looks amazing. It still needs an alignment and an exhaust, so I won't be able to pick it up until next week. But I did get to drive it (with no exhaust or license plate) around the back roads by my body shop. Feels great, no differences from before, save the things you'd expect, like rusty brakes, etc. I took it up around 100mph and hit the brakes - locked up a little but everything is fine.

They have to fix a few little niggles - like the incredible amount of dust on the interior, the trunk latch that won't work, and a paint bubble on the rear wing. Plus, they had a tough time matching the yellow on the aluminum with the body yellow...but it's not that much lighter. Depending on when my tires and exhaust get there, I should be driving it next weekend. I cannot wait. As soon as I get it back in finished form, I'll post tons of pics.

 

Sounds good! Post pics asap.

Be careful running it up to 100...then braking hard without an alignment.

 

I didnt even know I was going that fast...I thought I was babying it.

Nah, 150 is babying it. LOL!

 

thats kool ross

pics would be kool when you can

 

150 is nothing for the yellow IT-Rs. The black ones...now that's a different story

 

Yeah, well don't forget that Honda put the ULTRA secret Type R cam in the '00-'01 Phoenix Yellow ITRs ONLY!! That's why they're faster stock than those stupid black or white ones.

 

Damn Ross, I wish I could say the same.. My kit still hasn't arrived.. But my car should be ready mid february... *Knocking on wood*

 

Finally some good news.

 

Good to hear Ross

What wheels and exhaust are you getting???

Sam

Nice to hear!

 

S&B - I got some Dunlops to put on the stock rims, and Falken Azenis for a set of Kosei K-1s for the track.

exhaust will be stock for now, Spoon N1 soon.

Dean - ohhh boy the wing is awesome. makes the whole car look so mean.
