It doesn't matter how much itr stuff you put on it, it will never be an itr, so it doesn't belong in the itr specific tech forum, and why waste all that time and effort tryin g to be an itr itr when there are so many real itr shells out there that need rebuilding

Inclined to agree with this, despite me loving a nicely done clone. A clone is just that, a CLONE. It will NEVER be a REAL ITR, which is what this section is for. I'll let Dogg decide what to do.

Re: MyJDM front Rhd DC2 *Ground up Build thread *
yeah it will be a Clone > As i Revised i am Aware it will not be a Real Type R . but i dont want it put in a regular integra forum either cause its not . Alot of my hard work money and passion is being put into this build and there will not be anyway to tell this was not a Real itr unless you are an expert and can find the smalest details. but even te i willnever claim it to be a Real itr it will always be a replica .

Im Not trying to pose it as a real type r either . i just wanted to share a real true to detail build . not just some kid who throws a few thing on and calls it a type r every last thing is being done! and thats why i put it in the type r section
