Default Just bought my ITR

Well first of all, merry Christmas to every!! I just bought my first itR and i am very happy with it. I am now 23 and have always wanted one since i was 16. It looks like i need new shocks or springs in the rear because it is sitting on stock suspension and for some reason the rear seems to be low to me. Let me know what you guys think, positive and neg. feedback, its doesnt matter. Enjoy the pics.





Nice set of wheels i got with the sale





In the Garage




And some goodies for it already



A short video of the guy i bought it from

There are times when you don't need a radio. Just listen to the sound of that engine. Congrats!

It doesn't look too low to me in the pictures. Are you going to primarily use it for auto-x?

Congrats on the caR!

No need. Stock suspensions sit that way. Its always a lil lower in the back, no biggie. Keep autoXng on stock suspension. Thats some of the best seat time you can get.

radio doesn't even go loud enough to overcome the roar of the VTEC.

Tell us more about the car. Condition? Mileage? Mods already on the car? Price? Rust? Accidents? Number of owners


I need a CW ITR next to my PY ITR

Nice pickup. I also have a stash of parts for my R (including another set of Recaros, AMR suspension, F7 LCAs). I haven't decided if I want to install them yet.

Well, i bought the car from a friend of mine for $8400.00. It has around 150,XXX miles on it right now. The only mods that it has right now are the DC Hearders. It had an Apexi megaphone dunk muffler, but i removed it put the factory muffler on the itR.

I am the third owner I believe of the this car, no accidents or any rust on car. I got the extra set of wheels included with the car.

I would not consider putting the C/F interior on the car as being a mod., but that is what i am goin to do next. As well as putting a s2000 antenna, repainting the valve cover cus it needs it bad and changing all the gaskets i can possibly change without removing the engine. And i am also gonna try and figure out why the exhaust rattles at 3k rpms.

All in all i think i got a good deal on the itR. Exterior is in excellent shape as well as the interior. The engine bay does need some dressing up though(nothing major though)
