I recently had some mechanical troubles. I had a skunk2 cam gear break on me but the motor seems to be safe. Had it fixed then 2 miles after that the tensioner came loose. Fixed it at Walgreens and it seem to be in good working order still. I think the tensioner is messed up. Anyways the R seems like it has nine lives. I just been pissed off about it lately and posted it for sale and found a possible buyer. My girl said I'll regret, and i see a lot of others on here have also. Sometimes I just don't wanna deal with it. Car has a clean title,clean body inside and out and 50k miles. I posted it for $14,500 with a bunch of extras.

 

Listen to your girl

 

sounds like whoever has been doing the work is not torquing things properly, tensioner comes loose? and cam gear breaks? But keep the RRRR

 

What he said!^^^ Wanna talk about frustration? Mine has been dead for over 4 years and still not sure when I will be able to fix it. Be glad you can at least drive yours despite your recent troubles. KEEP IT!!!

 

keep it youll regret it
just like i did =[

 

KEEP IT!!

 

"I, 3s1k, take you PY-R, to be my caR, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part."

Your breaking your oath haha but keep heR maan your girlfriend is right that you WILL regret it

 

^lol

You'll regret it as soon as you start driving something else. You'll then realize the mistake you made, and you'll have to go out and buy another R. I did that twice, I think I've figured it out this time...

 

Especially if you go to local meets or car shows, there's nothing like showing up in a rare car... And it's bright *** yellow

 

Don't get rid of it. You will regret it.

 

OP you can sell it now and buy another R later on.

 

or you can just be really nice and give her to me and ill take care of her for free.my nhbp needs a friend next to her in the garage.....ha im just sayin

 

x 2
I LOVE "bright *** yellow".

 

wow if your girl tells you too keep it you dont need anyone elses opinion...usualy girls are the 1st ones saying sell it...you spend more time with the car than with me....and maybe its time you spent some money on new timing belt, waterpump, tensioner and rensioner bolt from honda...thats the life of you car..

 

Thanks fella's, I already decided to keep her after my fiancee put her foot down and said to keep it lol. I just ordered all that stuff yesterday. so I'll have her good as new in a week or so.

I thought about getting another later but its hard to find one in great condition like mine. Its had 5 owners but everything is tip top and clean title no wrecks.

 

YES . . . and then buy a real ITR aka CW

 

LOL, one day I'll have a CW also. The guy I bought my PY has a CW also but didnt want to sell it. I am keeping it and just got done changing out the Timing belt, tensioner and spring. The old belt was cracking in every groove, good thing it didn't break. Belt it so much tighter now. Car feels like it runs smoother.

 

pics??

 

You have a sexy PY ITR...don't sell it dude. You have a kick *** car. Just fix it and restore it..and drive it like you stole it

 

if this wasnt a R i would say sell it i believe that some cars are cursed to the owners....my EK coupe fought me tooth and nail put SI tails and a axle back on tree branch falls on it denting the rear 1/4. New wheels and springs T boned by a neon.

BUT this is a R and they are AMAZING cars. Listen to your girl shes knows whats up
