Default 97 ITR-296 Can't wait for spring

The winter season is long and cold here in Canada, and Spring is just around the corner. So 97 ITR-296 wanted to share some of the bling she will be rocking come the month of May when the Street Sweepers have done they're job.

Current List of mods from last season:

Mugen Intake
Spoon Spark Plug wires
Vision Carbon Plug cover
JDM 4-1 w/heat shields
Spoon Oil Cap and Rad Cap
Spoon Steering wheel
Spoon Duracon Shift ****
JDM Shift Boot
Buddy Club Racing Spec Dampers
Spoon Front and Rear Upper Strut Bars
Js Racing C-Piller Bar
Falken Azenis RT-615 on OEM Wheels with "H" Center Caps

I will let the pictures do the talking for her new Bling:




























I still need to pick up a few things to complete the Brake overhaul, Brembo Blanks, Stainless Steel Lines and pads.

Any suggestions for lines and pads? It is not my daily driver, but mainly see's street duty with the occasional Lapping day.

I was thinking either Project MU or Endless lines, maybe Spoon lines, with Cobalt GT-Sports or Axxis Ultimates.

I don't mind spending money on quality parts as long as they justify. I have had some bad experiences with some other parts before. (Rage Header )

So now I stick with parts that are made specifically for the ITR or Honda.

Thanks and enjoy!

I got my Lug nuts from AJ-Racing. If you are going to use them on your OEM wheels they will not work, because they have a tapered bottom, you can use the Spoon Gunmetals ones though, they have an acorn seat on them.

You have a serious problem with grasping the concept of quality, don't you? It's not always about being fast, it's about having fun. If you wanted to go fast for cheap, you bought the wrong car man. Go buy a Foxbody 5.0 and throw an HKS T51R on it.

They are 16 X 7 45+ offset.

I weighed them against my Stock 15"'s with Falken Azenis RT-615 (205/50/15)

Stock - 37lbs each

SW388's w/Falken Ziex ZE512 (205/45/16) - 29lbs each

I will most likely be swapping out the Ziex512's for some Azenis during the season.

Can't beat the weight of the Ziex.. they're what 18lbs a piece and are decent for warm/rainy weather.

you live in canada where it gets ***** cold and you buy some weak *** POS 360CCA battery have fun having to jump your car constantly. When i bought my car it had and acura battery with 380CCA first cold spell **** killed the battery all the time. Id return that and odds are it was way overpriced as well

I only drive my car during the warm months. So I don't have to worry about that. thank you for your concern.

Stock battery is $90.00

Braille - $150.00 (bought it on special)

Saved 17lbs as well

Don't hate, participate.
