Default My 2000 ITR #06096

Hello everyone! My name is Jose and I am the proud owner of this ITR. I bought this magnificent beast about a year ago with 93k miles and it currently has 100k miles.

It is completely stock engine-wise but below are the follwing mods:
The original black recaro seats were replaced with red recaros from a JDM CTR.
It's also sitting on 15" black Team Dynamics pro race 1.2 wheels.
The only other mod is that the stock exhaust was replaced by the previous owner with a Tanabe Racing Medallion exhaust.

I have plans to lower it, do basic bolt-on mods, and keeping it simple and clean. It's not pristine but it will hopefully get there soon. If anyone has any picture/video requests please let me know. Follow me on Instagram @josecutsgrass, and on youtube username EnjoiHonda.

Love the R81 with the non-JDM front. Bucket list car for me for sure. Congrats on the purchase.

Out of curiosity, did you paint the abs lines black or did they come in like that?

I didn't paint them, I took a second look at them and they look stock.

A few updates. I bought new NGK wires and plugs. I also received some goodies in the mail.

First a new AEM short ram intake, it makes vtec sound so much more amazing!!





I also received some H&R sport springs. I didn't have time to install them but I will post pics as soon as I get them on!



Thanks again everyone for the love here, I feel very welcome here.

Interesting. I wonder if it is safe to assume that UKDM ITR's have a black sheath around the ABS lines instead of light gray like the USDM/CDM versions from the factory.

I finally had some time off and decided to tackle the suspension and get those lowering springs in. I did the job solo, accompanied by a jack, a few jack stands and hand tools. Took me 3 hours but I did it!



Here is how it stands now, I expected a little bit lower. Hopefully once I break them in a bit more it'll lower some more.



I took her out on some back roads with plenty of S-turns and lots of sharp turns and it handled way better than stock. The car stayed level to the ground while cornering sharply and when breaking there was little to no nose dive. I'm pretty impressed by these H&R sport springs.
