Default NewB here...Just picked up my 97 ITR

Just wanted to say what up to everyone here. Just picked up my 97 Type-R #131 yesterday. I baught it off Jeff (ITR1997ChampWhite) and I love it. Mods will come soon as I still have to sell my IS300. I have had a few other Hondas in my day but I am looking forward to this one. Here is a stock pic for now.

A Lexus owner moving to an ITR? What sparked the change?

Jeff did take very good care of the car. I'm so glad I came up on a 97 in such perfect condition. As far as what sparked the change from the lexus....it was just a little too boring to drive all the time. I wish I could keep it as my daily driver but not enough funds. I just want to build something fast right now and have fun with it.

Nice car Tyler. Looks like you went from a good D Stock car to the best.

Congrats from a '97 owner in NC.

That's exactly what I did.

More power is always nice, but so is not paying some ******* rent every month.

I am lucky enough to have already have the house first. So the ******* that gets the rent is me. lol. So as soon as I sell my Lexus the mods will come. Teins and turbo will be first.

I will post a few more pics when I get some time to take some.

You do plan on buying some bolt-ons and a few motor reinforcing parts before you turbo right?

Either way, all I can say is CLEAN
