Hey guys ive been on this forum for sometime now and ive decided to make my first ever build thread so i can show every1 my progress on this awesome Itr. This thing has a pretty cool history behind it most of you people have probably seen this ITR and know the history behind it the thing has been on this forum since the late 90"s and thru so many hands on this forum im sure a few of you have owned this thing long story short it was stolen a few years back, the person that stole the car did a complete vin swap and installed a H22 in it for some odd reason Now its in my hands ready for a K and a complete makeover. Here are some pics and i hope you guys will enjoy my journey

 

Did you just say some one stole it vin swapped it and you bought it?! Nice start though

 

I was thinking the same thing to myself.....

 

Yeh but after the owner caught the person who stole it if you just google itr#309 youll see what i mean this car has been on this forum for years and alot of ppl know the car

 

dont think its a real type r y does it got a 94-97 front end and if its stolden how do you own it

 

trust me its a real type r its a 97 itr so many people know this car on this forum there is also many other ways to tell an itr from regular dc2 not just the vins and suspension you can even ask SpoonRevs he even owned the car at one point also ekcoupeh22 was once going to buy it

 

I think its funny how you think this car is infamous.

 

It sorta is lol i typed it into google and it came up on a couple of pages but its still no big deal lol. In for rebuild though

 

u say its a 1997 Acura integra type r right.i don't believe they made them in that year.. post a pic of ur title.

 

It is dude sorta like a craigslist hooker

 

There where actually made that year GOOGLE is one powerful tool!!!!!!!!!

 

Yes, there is such a thing as a USDM 1997 ITR.

OP - please don't post a pic of your title. And please explain what's going on with the mounts.

 

The person that owned it before me wanted to turn it into a show car and removed both the mounts not a big deal I got a new one from acura.

 

Well here are a few parts ive been collecting the past few weeks and somethings ive done so far to the car i also decided to bring the motor into my house since its cold as **** outside.

 

I can already tell by your part choices this isn't going to go well. Unsubscribing.

 

Just curious what's wrong with his parts?

 

I think by parts he meant BBS RS and gold bolts.

 

Im still here

 

can't wait to see the ITR!

 

Hey guys i did a little more today i cleaned this bad boy out, put the dash back in. Now its time to find the few parts that are missing look over some of the wiring I also picked up the mount that is missing

 

have you considered un shaving the bay and seeing what holes you can recover?

 

I wish i knew anything about body work or even how to start removing all this junk i could do everything else my self as for body work dont know **** about it .

 

I would say the easiest way is to get it soda/ media blasted. You could also take aircraft remover and a wire wheel and see what you find

 

im going to do that because i need to weld one of the brackets and also look for the holes to install the passenger side engine mount for the k swap

 

good deal!
