Was over at this spot today for a photoshoot, and saw this in the front. It was published some time ago. The owner won some races with it.

Has a full roll cage
J's CF Spoiler
Spoon Mirrors
Spoon Calipers
Mugen Seat
Blitz gauges
Mugen Shift ****
Koyo Radiator
Zeal suspension

Didn't get to see the engine bay so I don't know what it had.


The also had a 1st gen Mugen Spoiler laying around in the shop. Would like to get my hands on that.

 

thats eltons car. I believe its setup for road racing, drag racing and salt flats.

 

motor went KAPUT in American Touge 2! Its a shame, I was looking forward to seeing how the ITR could hang among the competitors

pretty sure its the same one, just switching it up

 

ok stupid question.....the front wheels had OEM wheels and the tires were smaller than the rears. The rears obviously has different wheels....but beefier tires than the front. The stupid Q is....is this teg RWD converted?

The rear wheels are lightweight Weld wheels. They are normally seen on the back of drag cars. I would suspect that those wheels are used in the rear for both land speed and drag racing purposes.

The car is still FWD with a turbocharged B18 AFAIK.

 

The front wheels look large, like they are NSX rims perhaps?

my thoughts exactly.

 

wrong. stock itr rims (front). doesn't look like you know your itr very well.

no, they definitely look bigger than the stock 15" itr wheels, definitely powdercoated NSX wheels up front.

 

naw they are type R wheels... 199% sure.

 

Yes, Stock ITR wheels. The spoon calipers look like a tight fit on there too.

these might be old but its definately not turbocharged.

 

i believe it was turbo, but now NA. maybe he switched back.

 

with a car like that i'm sure the setup changes more than once a year

Thanks for the correction.

I remember it was running 11 second quarter miles with a turbocharged B18. I wonder what kind of power it's making now.

As far as this stuff goes, it looks like it has TWM ITB's with a custom plenum.

I thing he has a turbo motor for drag and a NA motor for road racing

 

Elton Lo is a good friend of mine. His 1997 ITR is built for all purpose. He has 2 motors dialed in for the chassis. One, is a 2.0L fully built B18C with custom ITBs to run with his own turbo setup. That setup makes about 650 whp tuned himself with a Apex Power FC. He holds the world record for being the fastest unibody Honda (no body modifcations) to run over 200 mph. The car also does mid to high 10s in the quarter mile and won a BOTI event last year. The second motor was built just for the Super Street Time Attack. Its basically a 2.0L hi-comp race motor that makes 230 whp and runs only on race gas. Built and tuned everything himself.
