Default a gRand Return, introducing ITR '98-1186

Well years ago I was a very active member on this site when I owned my old '00 R. After selling her and being out of the scene for something like 8 years or more, I finally had an opportunity to purchase another R. I wanted a track car, something that I can turn into a beast... and what I found was just that... Introducing my latest edition after speaking with Tyrant and referencing the ITR registry it is estimated this is car '98-1186, since the arm rest is no longer an original. This car has quite a history behind it, it was built by the head crew chiefs at RealTime Racing.



Picked her up yesterday and cruised her home, drives like a champ and can wait to start hitting some events, oh yeah and expo!

Here are a few teasers of the car....

Car is mostly factory, few little things have been repainted... but it sure is ultra clean, and I am a pretty huge detail buff, once I get my hands on this thing later in the week it will bling.

Was a previously stolen ITR, rebuilt and put back together by the RealTime Racing folks to their specs. Car is Superb.

very interesting and great to hear a race team rebuilt the car, more surprised it wasn't turned into a race car then.
btw what image loading website did you use? it actually came up with the pics at my work which are pretty much all blocked

iirc you will not have a problem clearing the calipers, but the offset is to high imo to run them w/o the spacers....

Can you clarify for me.. its been like 6 years since Ive owned a car like this... TOO MUCH with the spacer? by taking the spacer OFF wouldnt that REDUCE the offset ? Or am I confused.... thanks for the help.

with offset the higher the number the further in the wheel will sit, so removing the spacer the offset will be higher
