Default Phoenix Yellow ITR 01-0026

Hey, never officially introduced my car which I purchased off Bbasso on June 13, 2009. It took me about a year to save up and was able to purchase the car when I was 19. I am the 2nd owner of this amazing 2001 clean titled Integra Type R which I plan on keeping forever. I could not help myself but wait till I found the R that was perfect for me. Last year of production, low badge number, clean title, no major accidents, original owner and Phoenix yellow! I am a very proud owner and can never see myself loving a car as much as the Integra Type-R. Though I have been daily driving this car back and forth from school and work for the last year, my goal this summer is to purchase a daily so the R can take up some space in the garage and receive some necessary work. I'm an ITR enthusiast, not a photography enthusiast, so here are some of the best photos I've ever had taken of my car. Thanks Sictransitjosh. (Yeah yeah, I should block out my plates, oh well, the car is garaged.)

Any percentage of tint is legal in New Jersey as long as it is behind the drivers neck, basically it can be as dark as you want it to be in the rear as long as it is black and non-reflective. (don't ask).

Most likely not. I didn't get a spot in novice and just don't see spending all the money to get out there and taking the vacation days off work to spectate.

Beautiful ITR. I would love to have one of those. But they are still a little out of my price range.

It took a lot of stressful nights and patience. I went through buying and selling five cars in a year to fix and flip, on top of school and working off the books, and not going out on weekends to not spend any money.

Thanks. Yes, it's a good feeling to know the car is mine, not the banks, not the dealer's.

Thanks man! I don't know why the MF10's looked so bad on my car and so good on BoostinEJ1's car. ( I can't remember your guys names!).

That'd be awesome. Rob took very good care of this car cosmetically from the day he drove it home from the Acura dealer on November 17, 2000. I had him drive this car to me in New Jersey from where he lived down south.

They're normal track days, that a bunch of people agree that they're going to go to. Coincidentally they're all NASA events, but that's not always the case... Here are the current dates, I should post up over here sometime just in case people don't think that Expo is the only event that is done every year.

Mid Ohio - Aug 14-15
NCCAR - Sept 25-26
CMP - Nov 6-7

I know we're not allowed to link other sites but there is a more "official" site that is ran by the people that organize expo, if you frequent there then you'll never miss an announcement.
