Who still has their R?

I still have my black 2000 Itr (purchased in summer of 2002) , which has gone through 4 turbo setups with the orginal b18c5 motor, and how has a k20z1 (not running yet).



how it sits most of its life...

Who still has theirs and what is the story on the R?

 

i still have my R. since 2001. bought it brand new 2001 ..

 

Anyone who has owned there ITR for more than a year without ever tracking it, has no idea of just how great of a car Honda made.

I still have my ITR that I got in '99, and I haven't neglected it to a life of sitting in a garage collecting dust while its fickle owner keeps pulling out its engine.

 

lol @ the history of my car

I beat the hell out of her on the track and she likes it! MUhahhahahahaha!

 

16x,xxx miles... the roof and the hood are still straight, most of the paint is protected by a thick layer of exhaust soot, brake dust, and rust. Interior is a ******* mess, the list of issues that i need to fix only gets longer. My concern for fixing said list only gets smaller.

This is my first post. I have been reading this forum for a while. I HAD a 1997 that was stolen last spring from it's supposedely secure winter home. It was totally stock. It was #220 1997 Canada for those of you keeping track of stolen R's. In Montreal.

I recently passed on an opportunity to get another one, the yellow 2000 at Downtown Acura in Toronto this summer, because it was too modified.

I never tracked my car but I drove it for three years during the winter until I realized what I was doing. The LSD works Great in the snow, no need for AWD ! I did drive it hard but any new one I get will be driven on the street gently, but not tracked and preserved as close to stock as possible. I have purchased another type of vehicle for modifications/track so I can keep the R as stock as possible to enjoy the balance of a well made factory automobile.

Obviously after reading so many stories, and getting many ideas on security, about stolen R's, I will take the necessary steps to keep at least ONE out of the hands of thieves. Nothing I say now can add to the many words of disdain towards R thieves. Suffice it to say that they are like thieves who steal a work of art, thow the canvas in the garbage, and sell the frame for a few dollars. I'll GIVE you the keys to my mazda 6 wagon if you leave my next R alone !

I did drive it hard on the street though. Deerfield Beach Fla. to Montreal, Qc in 22hrs and 40 minutes total elapsed time, including ONE speeding ticket, pre 9/11 of course.

Anyway, just thought I would add my 2 cents worth and unload the bad news to those who are counting that 1997 #220 Canada is gone .... but not forgotten.

Thanks for letting me vent and I will keep reading the forum even though I am temporarily without an Integra R


cheezer

 

Just past the 4 year mark of ownership. It'll be paid off in 3 months, and I have no plans to sell.

ahhh you edited (again) dick lol

me = bought used from dealer, crashed totaled before I got it, beat it for 30K, burned oil, built motor, beat it some more, spun bearing, rod thru block at 20K built miles, new block, built again, took to tuning shop in Jerz, left out overnight, interior/fuel rail/injectors/VC/ECU jacked, totalled again, rebuilt by me, NOS'd, blew up head, burned valves, rebuilt again, now fully built with lots o' powa.

 

Had mine new since 1998.

 

Late to the game...
3 years and beat the crap out of it the whole time.. Now i have a track ***** to beat up a bit late but ..

 

Still have mine. Bought it new in 00 and have been through 3 motors and 4 turbo setups.. Still running strong. gonna change the turbo setup for next year again. Can't seem to get rid of the car! Like it too much!!

 

OG '00 owner

47,000 km (about 30K miles) on the odo --&gt; all track

just finishing the second motor rebuild (Darton sleeved 2.0L B18C5 N/A) which should give her even more fire under the hood

 

picked mine up in the summer of '02. Took it to the track that summer and have been hooked ever since

 

2nd owner of 01-0188. Had it 3 yrs, 5 mo, 18 days. Put 63k of the 106k miles on it. Can't imagine life without it. Autocrossed stock for last 3 yrs, started modding for STX this year. My mission is to stiffen her up and improve responsiveness, but maintain the truly awesome stock handling balance. Needless to say, I have a ways to go yet on the last part...

I was a strict street driver before getting the R. AX has been an excellent opportunity to gain appreciation for the sheer brilliance of Honda Engineers ! My only hope is that my tuning ends up doing it justice ! I hope at some point to hit the track, but still can't stomach the idea of losing it...
