Well, I dont know how many of you remeber me, but I had an ITR four years ago, and had to sell it. Heres a little run down on what happened:

Had the itr, got into an accident due to bald azenis on the rear . Was forced to sell due to $$$$ reasons. I sold the car to someone i thought would take care of it, as they knew the owner of the car before me. Boy was I wrong...about three weeks after I sold the car, the new owner apparently blew the motor, and the car sat at the local dyno for a bit, waiting for a rebuilt motor.

The owner then got into a bit of trouble with the law, going to jail. From what i understand, he **** away a LARGE 6 figure amount of money on lawyers/his habbit. He ended up broke, giving the title away to the lawyer as payment, while the car was being stored by the dyno owner.

The car sat for 4 years, and i had asked multiple times about parts/car and was told as well as everyone else who was interested, to pretend like it didnt even exist. I dont have to be told twice, and never asked about it again.

That is untill about 3 weeks ago, I was sitting here on my computer as usual, browsing honda-tech. I dont know about you, but sometimes you get an idea in your head that you "feel" is right. I got one of those, very very randomly.

I decided to call a good friend of the dyno owner that im friends with as well, to see what the deal was on my car, and if it would be for sale. I found out that the title was transfered and hed check on the car for me.

I got a call back about a week later with a price I couldnt argue with. I put my hatch up for sale, and told them I wanted it. I still have the hatch, just got a loan so that i wouldnt have to worry about anyone else getting it, however, I had been told the dyno owner said i had dibs over ANYONE who wanted the car, and had already turned down cash thrown in his face

My friend Chad(chad on here) and I went to get the car today. It was a pretty sad sight, seeing it in the condition its in, compared to how well I had taken care of it. It needs a bit of work, however the car has a TON of sentimental value to me, as well as just being a very nice car. Im going to be cleaning it up slowly before I put tags on it. Its getting a bone stock bottom end in it, Im going to just enjoy having it back and driving it again.

right now it needs: intake mani, throttle body, shampoo'd/febreezed interior, repainted front bumper and front lip, full wetsand/buff of body, new rear tires, all jambs need to be cleaned, as well as engine bay pressure washed. Any help/parts are appreciated

Ill probably post up a few pics tomorrow of the condition and update it occasionally, as i clean and chad/I get stuff done .

Heres a couple pics of it when it was clean, hopefully wont be terribly long untill it looks this good again. As for anything YOU dont like on the car, I dont care, Its mine, ill do what i want.
