With so many people modifyinging their ITRs, this got me thinking w/ an interesting question.

Lets say Honda put you (yes, YOU) in charge of re-releasing the DC2 as the ITR"R", how would you re-release it? Kind of the same concept as the new NSX-R. It's still similar to the old NSX-R, but at the same time very different.

Since Honda has stated that the car is for driving enthusiasts, the car can be geared more for the track, YET must <u>still</u> be streetable and costs must still remain reasonable for the buyer.

yshi - whose just curious

 

haha, too much green in your head ...

i'd add a CF hood, PS optional/AC optional, optional 4.785 FD, and leave the rear seats optional. asides that a lighter flywheel optional as well as more agressive cams as an option.

...basically 2 types of "ITR"s...the one as we know it, and maybe a version B, which would include some options and leave others out....all about the same price if you remove the ps/ac/rear seats

oh yes, one last mod.....the type-RX interior for the bling bling ricers out there

yoshi, its been a long day...
next time its puff, puff, pass...

 

Full rollcage, two race shells, no rear seats, all interior panels, no P/S, no A/C, steel wheels, comes with SCCA membership; all at the same MSRP as the regular DC2 ITR.

All else the same.

Slogan?

ITR "R" - Time to seperate the men from the boys.

 

and this would be streetable eh? maybe your definition of streetable is a bit more vague

 

Delete: rear seats, clock, fake carbon fibre, power steering, radio, speakers, antenna, rear wiper, center console,

Add: heavier clutch, lighter flywheel, 4.929 final drive, light 16" wheels, Lowdown rate shocks and springs, with 26mm rear bar, lower 3/4".

Incremental cost would be almost zero.

 

should require racing license to purchase

 

 

(Soup ****) vs. (Yoshi234)

You guys competing to see who has the most post?

 

First: Regulate who purchases it (Like the Ferrari F50)
Second: Ensure it is used in the fashion it was designed for (hard to do but can be done)
Third: Refuse ownership to those who do not follow the rules (n/a power generation, frequent track use, etc.)


Details:
(removed)
-power mirrors
-power door locks
-power windows

Yeah, forgot about that.

 

Add 6 speed box, C/f hood and hatchs, cromoly rollover bar, c/f shell seats w/ 5 points.... the Brembo 4 pots with 12 in. rotors front, 10.5 rear, wider wheel tire combo....mugen sways front and rear, mugen strut bars front and rear, spoon lower front tie bar...Mc brace....and better aero package....some more spring rate would be nice as well........

Agressive cams, flywheel, clutch, quaife diff.....no powr anything, no rear seat.....optonal full stitched cage and radio delete

costs must still remain reasonable for the buyer

A lot of p33ps are missing this bit of info.

 

Too costly.



No need to, there's nothing wrong with the current brake setup.

Huh?

All these aftermarket parts would have to be added by the buyer later.

 

JDM Front

 

I for one never understood why honda decided to put a/c in it but not cruise control.

I daily drive my ITR but for a race only version, I would like to see the beast at around 2300 lbs, 215 hp, manual steering rack, N1 pulley, rear strut tower bar and adjustable suspension with your choice of spring rates.

 

10.5 was for rear brakes...I edited.....and thats also why I wanted more tire...so I could us more brake......

 

Good question....

- Limited edition like before
- 50,000 mile warantee.
- Very light. 2,700lbs max.
- Factory rollcage
- True racing seats.
- Lightweight flywheel
- Probably Keep the AC and powersteering, and radio.
- A tad stiffer suspension.
- A full 1G of latteral acceleration stock
- 0-60 in under 6 seconds
- The biggest brakes that will fit in 16'' wheels.

 

the very nature of the car will not allow that to happen.

 

It has it now...

 

yeah, I have one...

 

i think even a better idea would be for honda to sell "tuner" cars with full warranty

i.e. saleen mustang, trd tacoma etc.

did somebody say mugen?

 

Oh! One more thing...
A motor and trani that wont bolt into anything else!!!

 

Delete:
all the above mentioned power
AC.
stereo
wipers (front and back)
high beams
interior (driver seat only, no panels)
spare tire

add:
a "bottle neck free" exhaust
lightened flywheel
better clutch
stronger valve springs (9,200 redline)
better port and polish
jdm final drive.
2 12" subwoofers

 

I would release it with
-Altezza's,
-Custom Coffee can exhaust Tips
-LED washer lights
-Hyper Whites all over ( HID's are just bootleg Hyper whites)
-Factory 18 inch Donuts with chrome hub caps
-More Type R stickers so they will know thats its a real type R
-More functional holes than any Andy's autosport Combat ninja Super mega bomb kit
-Single Winshield washer conversions
- I'd add another Emblem above the existing one
- Side Skirts that extend about 5 inches outward.
- a Triple deck spoiler to make the Saleen wing owners sick.
- 4 extra blue sidemarkers
- an massive type R banner that says Acura across the back and front windshield.
- Super bucket orange race bucket seats and remote control missile launchers on the front of the car.
Thats all i can think of for now.
