Hey guys just thought i would introduce myself. I have lurked this site for a while but just decided to sign up tonight...partly to brag about my new purchase i guess. Any way this will be my second type r i had a 97 a year or so ago. Ended up needing a rebuild and at the time it scared me away but i have always missed heR. Anyway when the opportunity to buy this came up i sprung on it. I will be picking the car up this weekend as i live about 3 hours away from were the car is located. Any way cant wait to get to work on heR my only dilemma now is if i should go jdm front or usdm...

Here is a link to the car...http://forums.beyond.ca/st/319235/fs...t-end-damaged/

 

Usdm. 98+ with jdm lip kit

 

you mean oem acura usdm optional lip kit

 

Jdm is SO over rated........Every time i go to a meet or see a civic/integra/type r they all look the same make it your own style Ive seen a couple ukdm/edm style and let me tell you it looks bad ***

 

Does the R you're buying not have a front end on it? The answer is simple IMHO.

USDM ITR-USDM ITR stock front end.

JDM ITR-JDM ITR stock front end.

Ect;

 

Yes it does but its a little smashed at the moment. Ya i am definitely just gonna do my own thing and make it my own.

 

In for rebuild thread. I remember seeing pictures of this car prior to the accident.

 

I mean the jdm optional side skirts + rear valences

 

Japan wasn't the only market to get those, so they can't be call JDM.

 

Congrats on the pickup! It's a shame about the damage, that car was posted on here with those pictures recently. Nice caR. Good luck with fixing the front end.

 

Thx guys ya i hope to get some sort of a rebuild thread going! My biggest hurdle right now is finding somewhere i can work on the car....but i will get it all figured out first step is getting heR home safely!

 

No garage?!?!

 

I second that. Wtf?

 

Lol i have a garage but i cant start ripping heR apart in there as it is my parents and they wont let me "make a mess" of there garage...I mostly only store cars in the winter though, theft really isn't bad here so in the summer she may spend some nights outside...as shity as that may sound. If i had to wait till i had my own garage for heR i would have had to wait at least a couple more years to buy an R and with the deal i got on this i couldn't pass it up.

 

get it insured ASAP

 

First money you spend should be on security.

 

no pic but welcome to the ITR FAMILY again!!

 

Ya glad to be back and there are a couple pics in the link i have up in my first post.
