Default New Itr owner and the start of my project.

After Chasing ITR's for a few months got lucky and found local member dc2itr617 had a canadian spec 98-0537 for sale that I was able to buy as a shell for my k-series build. Currently working on getting it back to original as possible appearance wise but with a bit more whp lol .




on the way home




new motor


powder coated the wheels back to CW

Nice man!

Are you happy with the powder coating? I am debating between p/c or finding a mint OEM set. The cost is pretty close p/c is a little cheaper i think.

Just an FYI,

IntegraTypeR.org shows her updated on 2/23/2010 with 280,000km

Thats 173,600 miles approx.

Just giving info on her, you had already stated you thought it had more and this is verifying that it does. no bashing at all. Glad to see its in this good of condition for being used that much!!

Looks awesome! Where did you go to get the wheels powder coated CW? I'm looking to get mine done, I assume you went somewhere local to you?

Millage I posted is what's on the current title but , like I posted on ITREXPO i knew it had more because the previous canadian owner loved to drive the caR. no offense taken lol my intensions are to use the shell to build an ITR to my likings.
