My friend wants to put his ITR up for sale but isn't sure what it is worth. It is a 98 CW with a full wire tuck and brake line tuck. The interior and exterior are bone stock with the exception of polished slipstreams. It has avid solid mounts with an h22a4 in it. The paint is great. It is a theft recovery title.

 

pics would help

 

 

6k or 7k. Theft title and h22.

 

why would you put such a shitty engine in a R

 

You might be better off parting it out, or at least pulling and selling the H22 to some ricer, then sell the rest as a good rolling chassis.

At this point, I'll go with the estimate before--maybe $6-7K as-is.

 

def 6-7K. with these modifications he could have done this to an LS or GSR and got 6-7K out of it. No one is going to want to pay top dollar for a bastardized R with a poopy motor in it and rotas.

 

Yea thats what i was trying to tell him. He put it up for 7.5 obo

 

hmm...?? from the looks of it i think this caR would be a great buy for $6,500. Way?? cause you can pick up a clean itr shell for $4-5k and h22 are going to run you like $2,200-2,800. $7,500 i just think is a lilo to much i think!! would LOVE to see more pics

 

You cant even call it an R

 

lol 6-7k buys you an R with an R motor. Not a crap H22

 

Hmm H22 + wire tuck + brake line tuck? sounds like a real gem

 

QFT... THIS!

 

True story. H motor's are boo boo.

 

I haven't seen any nice, clean title ITR's in that price range yet.

It's amazing how people can even destroy an ITR like it's a mass produced Civic or Accord.


I'd have to disagree with you there. An H motor can be built to handle rediculous amounts of boost when you sleeve it, a lot of displacement, ect, you have to remember it IS a HONDA made engine, so it's not just a piece of ****. But I agree it should not be in an ITR chassis.

 

Can I have some of what this guy's smoking?



OP, offer 6 and pickup a swap and de-bastardize it and you'll have a pretty nice theft recovery R. 9-10k total investment

Is it just me or does anyone else hate the JDM sidemarkers on a USDM R???

 

I wouldn't go near any honda with a wire tuck, it frightens me that the retards on these forums are even attempting it. A few are done right, but most are certified electrical nightmares.

 

sirius isn't smoking ****. that is what a decent high mile salvage title R pulls.the biggest reason salvage cars are selling down is A: you have to be a cash buyer and B: clean title cars aren't fetching that much more. you guys bitched at 15k for a 22k mile car last week just because it had a supercharger. if 22k mile cars are only getting 15k a 100k mile car in otherwise good shape should never pull more than 10k-ish even though they sometimes sure do.

i think this car is worth a solid 6k to someone. i'd never touch one missing abs but some probably will. add 3.5k for a full jdm itr swap and it could be a nice DD

 

From the sounds of it you don't own an ITR.

The reason why the 98 w/ 22k was taking some heat was because of the addition of FI on a high compression NA engine. That detracts from the value of the car in 90% of prospective buyers minds. An ITR w/ 22k on the clock, 100% stock, 100% original paint and body panels can fetch 18-20k depending on buyer, condition, location, etc.

Show me one ITR salvage or not with a C5 engine, stock exterior and interior that goes for 6k

 

This is true. A local 98 type r with 59k original miles pulled 18k. Just because you won't/can't pay top dollar doesn't mean that someone else won't.

 

local dealer had one in seattle for 6500. one caveat though, it was rolling on a 4lug, rest was correct. also a high miler like 150k, we've had a few here on HT with ask prices around 8-9k, who knows where the close actually happened

btw, the only reason i don't have an itr vin is because of my hatred of a solid roof panel. i purposely sought a gsr shell for the build up because of this. it's really not difficult to buy a 1000 dollar itr shell, i've been offered 2 over the past couple years

 

Point is a COMPLETE $6,000 ITR cannot be had at this point in time under normal circumstances. If you find one please let me know as I'd love a dedicated track R.

 

There are some sig-worthy statements in this thread LOL

 

I have $10 that says these wizards probably removed ABS as well since it's so ugly and all.

 

No **** dude, I said a full wire tuck and brake line tuck.
