Well...the day finally came! I found a 95 gsr with only 60k chassis miles! No motor (theft) and no tranny. The guy is selling it with brand new A+ coilovers (gonna sell) and 18x7.5 Nippon Racing wheels (gonna sell). Anyways, the chassis is really clean. The exterior is practically immaculate! Well...I know its not a true bred R, but this is my plan:

Drop my JDM ITR motor in...
-spoon sports carbon fiber hood
-spoon sports carbon fiber lip
-JDM ITR front end
-JDM ITR side skirts
-JDM ITR rear bumper
-JDM 4-1 Header (have)
-custom 2.5 inch test pipe
-Fujitsubo RM-01A exhuast
-AEM CAI
-JUN Stage 3's (have)
-JUN valvesprings (have)
-JUN TI retainers (have)
-JUN Cam gears (have)
-Hondata Stage 3
-B&M FPR & gauge (have)
-RC 330 injectors (have)
-JDM ITR Seats
-JDM ITR DC2 gauge cluster
-ITR shift ***
-ITR floor mats
-Rota Sliptreams 16x7
-Brigdestone Potenza SO-3's
-TEIN flex or TEIN SS damper coilovers
-ITR rear sway bar
-ITR front upper tie bar
-5-Lug conversion w/ITR rotors & calipers
-ACT or Clutchmastersclutch (maybe puck...we'll see)

I think that it will be a good looking car when its all said and done...here are the pics i took last night:

















Would it be retarded if i did all the stuff above and then put ITR stickers on...OEM style...??

Not being a ********, but it wouldn't be OEM style, because it is not a Type R.. do what you want though... I wouldn't.. most think it's rice...

Isn't it funny how Type R owners want to remove their stickers, and non-Type R owners want to put the stickers on? Just thought of that. Nothing personal.

 

Yes.

 

get a comptech icebox...
doesn't it rain alot in washington?

 

i agree, i have the AEM and i regret it

 

.... Or get a Comptech drop in filter and use the stock box.

 

i live in WA and drive with the AEM. just drive with common sense and you'll do fine.

1. see a puddle.. let off the throttle or put it in neutural.

 

cant see them, do it the WE-Todd- way

If you put ITR stickers on your non-R, you will be a riceboy regardless of how perfect the rest of the car is, people will flame you.

 

are jdm side skirts and rear bumper different???? i think no. am i wrong

 

I know its not an actuall ITR, thats why I asked whether or not I would take much heat for it. I'm trying to stick with all JDM/OEM parts. My eventuall goal is to have a replica JDM ITR. There aren't too many ITR's in WA, so this will be unique, in the fact that unlike most of the ricers with Si-r stickers and type-r whatnot's, this will actually be as close to the real thing as you can get.

But it seems that the definition of 'rice' is changing everyday, i'm not worried about that at all, i get called rice for just having a loud exhaust on my DA (tanabe), and it is just about as anti-rice as you get. I'm not trying to be exclusive, I don't have the money to be able to afford ITR #xxx, I just want to be completely JDM/OEM, and the DA isn't fullfilling my needs.

And BTW, does the Comptech IceBox have the same sound during VTEC as the AEM CAI? The only reason I would be sticking with the AEM is because of the sound. The power difference is so little between the 2 that it wouldn't matter. I'm assuming that it is because the AEM has the resonator removed...but it could be the piping, thats why i said I was stickin to the AEM. If the IceBox has the same sound, then I'll consider it also.

Thnx for the input, this is probably one of the only places i'll trust opinions online. I especially like 1 Fast R's ITR, very very clean . I'm workin hard to get this project teg going...hopefully by mid summer i'll have everything I listed above done!

"Isn't it funny how Type R owners want to remove their stickers, and non-Type R owners want to put the stickers on?"



A.

 

rite on

 

dammit where are them pictures

 

with all the money you'll spend, just get a used type-r and get a front end. You'll probably save a buttload

 

kirkland huh.....lets see some pics...


Yager-

 

May I ask, how much did you pay?

 

Why spend all that cash and get Rotas ???

Why not Spoon SW388 ???

 

daily bandwith exceeded....no pictures

 

what are jdm type r sideskirts?

 

DO NOT put type R stickers on a GSR. for asking.

 

daily bandwidth...shitty....

picked up the car for 3. This is a continuing project. Not everything on that list will be done at the same time (obviously). I only have about 7k, and I've seen no used Type-R for under 13k, and ya, i've been looking. Plus, they want to raise the damn rent so that will slow down my income a bit. Considering I can do pretty much all the install work myself, I think for about 10k I can complete the project. I already have the JUN internals, not in the motor, but ready for install...

Probably wont do the ITR stickers now...and yes, the JDM ITR side skirts are the same as the USDM ITR side skirts...I guess I was getting used to typing JDM in front of everything .

Thnx for the input, hopefully the account will re-open today.

And yes, I'd take any ITR if I found one for cheap...but I hate payments on anything...so I don't favor loans too much. I'd rather pay cash all at once. And if you could point me in the direction of a ITR for 7k, that would be great!

 

I live in Washington and i have a cai and i have had no problems here. The only way you will have problems is if you like to drive through puddles.
