Hi,

Just wondering, how many people here have left their R stock from the day they recieved it? I like my ITR the way it came from the factory and wouldn't have it any other way.

 

i couldn't help it but mod it so many NICE stuff that you can do to enhance performance JDM, Spoon, Mugen, ETC

I see, I hear you though. JDM, Spoon, and Mugen are nice. I just figured since my ITR is originally USDM, I might as well leave it that way. I kept wanting a JDM front for the longest time but relized: A) If just the front was done the paint would never be original and may not match. B) It is still a USDM ITR no matter what. If I could, I would just get a true RHD ITR but they are so hard to register legitimately. Sounds kinda wierd but I am paranoid.

I love the car as is.... perfect except for power. I have been debating boosting it forever, but its still stock and always been that way.

yeah sometimes I want more power. When you have a car that 8-80 year olds look at in awe and a Chrysler 300m walks you, kinda sucks. oh well overall our cars kick ***, ill miss mine

 

I was young when I got my car so modding only seemed natural. Now Im older I realize the car is just awesome factory. Plus the value holds a little better.

 

And alot more reliable. My only regret was not getting ahold of one new from the dealer. The went like hot cakes.

 

My drivetrain is totally stock. Slap on some R compound tires and it's perfect for the racetrack!

 

I could not do it. I started moding when I got my home from the lot.

I held of for three years and then boosted it. I loved the power. After that I started getting into autocrossing. Then I wished I would have spent the money else were. I had to run in Street Modified and I would mostly get killed. I could not afford the slicks that the other cars were burning through (2 sets per season). Ohwell, I did win one event that was in the rain! I would also have the car heat up on me with the longer courses.

Just my thoughts but either way the biggest mistake was selling it.

 

*raises hand* Stock from day one.

I got the modding bug outta my system (at least when it comes to wanting to mod the R) with my previous car. One of the main reasons for getting the R was to leave it the way the Honda engineered it. All production cars are a compromise, but the ITR is less so than most.

Leave the R alone and get a sport bike.

Add another one to the list.

Although I've heavily contemplated changing the exhaust and air filter as of late

 

I couldn't help myself...I was 20 yrs old with a brand new Bright yellow ITR....How could someone leave it alone No regrets....

 

i kinda wish i left my car stock.

the more **** you do to it.. the more cash you spend and the more stress you get

Mine is stock except Comptech Icebox and Lexus HID's

 

If mine was stock when I got it, with lower mileage, it'd stay stock... But it had higher miles, and was already modified quite tastefully, so I decided to just go with it, and have fun.

I do, however, plan on purchasing a stock Type-R in the near future as a collector item, and to drive once in a while. Preferably a '97... We'll see though.

 

I have kept my drivetrain stock except for bolt ons, the majority of my money spent on the car has gone to JDM items, I guess the way I see it, if I buy something rare for my car I should be able to sell it for the same price, of not more, in a couple of years. I wish I had 20-30 more HP but I'm okay with how it is stock, it's a joy to take on the track and to autocross. I think when she hits 150k miles I might do an engine rebuild with JRSC.. who knows

 

when stuff needs repalcing it will be aftermarket
When i got it the stock shokcs where toast, so on when Koni yellows
the air filter needed changing, on when a comptech filter
The car could use a bit mroe power, but screw it. If i wanted to mod a car i would have gotten a GSR and modded the snot outta that

 

i woulda kept my car stock but when i bought it from the dealer ship, i was the second owner and the previous owner changed out the stock itr shocks and springs. it had some mismatching shocks and generic springs.

 

Got mine used and it was modded, went back to stock to keep things simple.

I think the ITR is VERY good in OEM form
