This question is for the <U>current ITR owner</U> only and your valuable input will help me on making a decision on what to do when I get my car back form the body shop.

p.s. i ask this question b/c i feel like dis-owning the car when i saw the theft damages and the insurance is replacing everything that is damage
thank you

Honestly dude....I had my car stolen and those bitches had my car for 5 days ******* ripping it to shreds......good thing that they were poor because they had minimal tools and only two jackstands......when the cops found my car in their garage it was completely dismantled....That was two years ago.....yes i said TWO.....I have spent those last two years putting this car back together.....I thought about selling numerous times and got good offers too

When it comes down to it I enjoy driving the car too much to let it die........I felt the same way u did.......I was already picking out a new car..........but the ITR is a rare car that most people will never drive much less own........so I think we are a privelaged bunch.......I would keep it and thats what I voted for............but thats on one condition


GET A BEATER and only drive the ITR when u know u wont need to leave it anywhere........thats the only way u can prevent it from being stolen

 

sum pics from the recovery

 

Bah that's nothing...............Body work is maybe two weeks...........redoing all ur wiring will be a bitch though.

But hey......look at the good side.....ur motor is still in there along with the tranny

 

thank man for your input....you right about that

keep it or ill call you a wuss. check out my type R restoration thread. thats nothing... couple days worth of work. make sure they use TYPE R rear hatch... tell them to make sure to use TYPE R and i bet they wont be able to find a used one. new only! they didnt take anything... crazy

 

pshhh that's not even that bad.
and you're worried about getting a used rear hatch window? lol..
make a deal with them and get a jdm rear hatch glass with no wiper
but that would be what i would do...
do what you wish.

 

Easy fix

 

what?? very easy... i can't believe you were going to dis-own it just because of that...

yeah, you can get that done in a matter of a couple months. just constantly browse the classifieds and you will find great deals. the people here are good. plus, you will get support from the ITR forum during your re-build

 

Mine was a ball of metal on top of all that and here is how it loks now....

if you sell the R... then the thieves basically win

if you hold strong and rebuild, you're showing who's boss

i agree with jdmspoonitr 100%

 

Just buy a starter from a junk yard and have a locksmith install it. It Shouldn't cost more then $350 including instalation, I bought and installed mine for 250.

If your ecu is damaged or missing just buy one of here they run for about 150-200.

And your hatch looks like any normal body shop should fix.

You should def. keep that suka, it's a quik fix.

It shouldn't cost more then 1000-1200 to fix that.

Thats nothing!!!!!! Minor parts needed.......

 

Bring her back to life!

 

you have to keep it! there have been much worse than that. I know it sucks, but they didn't take most of the good stuff like 5 lug and the b18c5 looks very fixable to me.

I didn't notice, but did they get away with the type r Badge, those are pretty much the only thing irreplaceable.
