I'm guessing the front lip got torn off the last time they completed a jump like this.

Yup, those are stock on European ITRs.

Hi Marco.

This car is built up by Idol-Motorsport, the guy who supports my own setup.

Nice I loved it when I took my car into the mtns and had what I call sprited drive on wet roads and yeah I've made a few jumps like that but since I have such stiff sus. it hurt abit. I just remember I floated 2inches out my recaros and then tossed her into side ways drift. I took friend down back road here in my CRX and did basically the same with him and I think it scared him abit because I was doing the samething in such an old car.

Maijk190: Is that your black ITR? I'm guessing you are German if it is. Falls das stimmen sollte, ich merkte das Du GG auf dem nummernschild hast. Ich komme aus Mühlheim (bei Offenbach). Wir sollten uns mal treffen.

In case you aren't German or don't live in Germany, then nevermind what I just said.

Holy cow ! The world is a small place..
Yeah, I`m from Germany (Mörfelden near the Rhein-Main Airport).
Faust, how long are you member of this board ? I never noticed a German here..

If you like, mail me. But let`s keep it in english on this board, it`s international.

my mail: sven@integratype-r.de
my website: http://www.integratype-r.de

Bye

Sven

PS:
Are you a member of the international Type R Club in Germany too ? Maybe we you could join us at the Lausitzring together with the dudes from the Rover Club Berlin. We plan to beat the **** out of our cars on the track.

I dunno why, but why are all of the European ITRs that I see really ugly? It just doesn't make any sense! Europeans are generally considered to be the most stylish peoples, but all of the cars look like early nineties!

I don't understand. Anyone care to hypothesize?

Being that they're so far from NA and Japan and it's so much cheaper for them to get parts made locally, I'd say the USDM/JDM trends and styles have almost no bearing on them. The same can be said for the Aussie cars.

Different styles are cool though, if I see one more "Spoon" car I'll puke.

Huh ? Are you crazy ?
My R body is STOCK. The only thing I`ve added in summer are the silver rims:


So can you tell me what`s ugly at a stock ITR ??? Is it different to a US stock-ITR that much ?

And I tell you what: If feel like you when I see a beautiful white R with a black (!) hood . Weight reduction or not, but this looks like wearing white socks to black shoes..

No flaming please, just my opinion.
