Hey hows it going everyone just writing to say whats up and also ask a couple of questions. I just purchased a 2001 NHBP ITR #569. I've been on this forum for quite awhile just do alot more reading then posting. I used to own a 91 crx with a motor swap then eventually sold it and purchased an 98 Eagle Talon Tsi awd. It really feels great to get back to my roots though and I dont think I could have purchased a better car.

So on to my first question. The gentlemen i bought the car from said the car is 100% bone stock which I believe it is. But the is a little ats sticker on the side window and couldn't figure out for the life of me if maybe it had an upgraded lsd or possibly a new final drive. Around 50 mph the car is right around 2800 rpms if that helps at all. My other question is I need to buy some new tires and was looking around on tire rack and the only decent tires I could find were in the 195/50/r15 or 205/50r15 category and I know the originals are 195/55/r15. Which of the of the tires above do you think would be best for the original wheels. Thnx everyone and I look foward to chating and learning from you all. also I cant figure how to make these sentences indented proberly.

 

Congrats on the pickup of the ITR it feels pretty good doesn't it!

You are right, the stocks are 195/55/15, a good upgrade for your 15's is 205/50/15.

 

I'd go with 205/50R15 or personally stick with the 195/55R15.

ATS sticker..... ATS clutch?

 

Congrats on the ItR...keep her safe and clean.

thats not a 4.7 fd, you would know...mine sits at 4500 rpm@ 79mph....

 

Congrats on the purchase. I remember what it was like when I brought my little lady home. I would go with the 205/50R15`s. Also get and alarm and GPS. Oh and post some pics of her!

 

Mine sits at 5300,5400rpm going @130kph(80mph) 4.9 final hehe


Congrats on the pick up!!!!

I'd go with 205/50/r15


but you might want to check the ATS website or contact them personally to see what products they offer.

I'd run these. Keep her safe and never sell, you'll regret it (I do anyway).

 

I intend on keeping for a long time. Also wildrhdeg are you still an itr owner im around your area we should meet up sometime

 

205 Azenis would be ok but you'll get some sloppiness in the steering feel with stock rims. I have some 205 width Azenis on 15x7 rims and they do great on those.

For the stock rims I think Direzza Sport Z1 Star Spec in the stock size would be good. They're $91 each at Tirerack and Dunlop is running a $50 rebate deal on them now.

 

Did you buy this from a stealership in Illinois (chicagoland) by any chance? If so...you bought it right out from under my friend lol.

Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 starspecs are available in 195/55/15. There's only a 10mm difference between the 205s and 195s...I'd just buy the stickiest tire you could find in either size. Since the starspecs are one of...if not THE stickiest street tires out right now...I'd go with those.

 

Sorry to break it to you, but the black ITR's are fake

 

No I purchased it from a private seller.

 

No I still have, love it and I want another. Where you from?

 

Care to explain alittle, bruh.

 

Hes just messing around. Sorry im in the hampton roads not to be to exact im just very cautious.

 

Yea same here!

 

Will have to get up sometime. Are you all stock?

 

yes, im just messing with you. long on going joke in the ITR forum........PY R's are the fastest color ITR also.

 

Congrats on the find. Post a pic or two. Keep her safe!
