Here are some pics;





What should I do? I found this the other day. Its got an LS B18B1 non-vtec with Y80 tranny. I've been looking for another project but . Give me some thoughts. Its VIN is JH4DC2313VS003025 (I think I couldnt read the last 3 digits well becasue the windshield was filthy) So its a 1997, saveable? Should I try and buy/get it?

 

any R is worth saving. if you don't someone else will.

i say go for it!

 

DO IIIIT!

 

If that is a 97, SAVE IT. Please, save it.

 

I agree, go for it. It looks like somebody else already tried to bring it back and gave up. Unless the rust is just really terrible, that doesn't look too bad.
:edit: And I agree with the above...the more '97's the better. How is the interior...if there is any?

 

Load it up on a trailer and drop it off at my house

Fawk, off to werk or I'd think about this more....
Price on this shell?

 

id love to find something like that in a junkyard around here

save that beast!!!

 

Awesome info, I was wondering how it got here. I'll do my best to save it. You guys are gonna have to help me out, I drive a 1997 Prelude and I know only a little about teggies. The interior is stripped btu the doors, carpet rear seat and dash are still there.

Edit: there is no set price its just sitting out back behind this shop. I was going to ask them about it but I'm not sure how to approch them.

 

well if you decide to bail out on this car..Im in MA and would love to buy it

GL tho

 

if its behind a shop then it could be costumers car, then again i don't know a lot of ITR owners that would allow for their car to be sitting like that without actually getting work done to it

talk to the shop owner and figure out what's the deal on the car, find out if its owned by the shop or by a costumer, if costumer then get their number and talk to them personally about buying the shell from them

 

Please take action on this 97 R.. If you dont then get in contact with someone like R.Kelley. Dont let this 97 go to waste whatever you do!

they may or may not know anything about the car (and it's value). heck, they may be glad to just get rid of it for cheap if you haul it away. there have been shells sold for less than $1000 and i wouldn't be surprised if this one would be another since it doesn't have the five-lug, the engine's crap... but it looks like there may be some interior pieces () GL, buddy.

jo

 

Do it!! Looks like a good project car

 

am I losing my mind or is that an LS head in there?

 

you lack reading the original post

 

Its an LS motor and tranny. Its pretty stripped but I love ITR's. I have work tomarrow but I'll go down thursday to see whats up.

 

No...it is an LS head
I have to save some money and find myself a shell...

 

Approach them and ask them what they want for the car. I'm sure they will throw something out there, but I wouldn't let them walk all over you. Many on here have bought shells in similar and worse condition(94rs-turbo, Bradstard) and have restored them to running condition.

 

Ya, I was looking at some threads. I could only find 2 and one of them had no pics.

HAHA! yeah really! Can't believe I overlooked that part.

 

So what parts do the Type-R and other Integra's have in common? Is there anything from a LS or GSR in a junkyard that I can use to get this thing rolling?

 

Motor and transmission from a lower model will bolt in(in a pinch people have even used SOHC D-series motors to get them rolling), the front suspension is the same so you can use LS/GSR suspension, brakes and hubs to get wheels on it. I don't know if LS/GSR rear LCA's can be used on the ITR subframe, but I would assume they can be, so the rear suspension/brakes/hubs shouldn't be a problem either. Hood is the same, taillights are the same, all of the interior is the same. (by same, I mean interchangeable) I can't tell from the pics what else you're missing...

 

pretty much everything from an ls/gsr will bolt onto the type r shell and work, basically honda made these cars like lego's which is great for parts but horrible for the fact that thiefs use that to their advantage
