Default I'm back with 00-404!

I'm excited to be back in the Integra Type R forum, it's been a very long time! Here's a brief history of my cars.

- I owned 98-1076 back in 2003, purchased from a lady in Valencia with 19k miles. (photo credit: B2FiNiTY)

- It was stolen in ~2004 from Moreno Valley CA, found it stripped a couple of months later.


(more pics here: http://skafia.com/itr/sad/)

- Tony Jackson bought the shell back and restored it, and it was stolen again sometime in 2006 I believe.

- After 98-1076 was stolen from me, I purchased a new 2004 Honda S2000 in 2003/2004.
- I was having financial problems so I sold it a year later.



- Fast forward to 2006 when I was fortunate enough to buy a 1991 Acura NSX with 10k miles from a guy in Orange, CA.
- I needed money to start a business so I sold it a year later with 17 miles on the clock to some guy in AZ.





- Last year in 2013 I was fortunate enough to buy back the same NSX from the SAME guy in AZ, this time with 32k miles on the clock.



= After searching for an ITR for about a month, I got help from a friend of Prime member Tyson (http://drivetofive.wordpress.com) who volunteered to check out the car for me. Jermaine transacted the deal for me as well as take delivery and holding it while we wait for transport.

Believe it or not, to return the favor, I went and looked at an NSX in San Clemente for him and it is on a transport to NJ as we speak! (He's on the right).



- So here she is, 00-0404, 1 owner with 36k original miles. The car is bone stock except for the rotors, clear corners, and front fog lights. Some of these images were taken from the original seller, and a few others were taken by Jermaine. I should have her in 2 weeks so I'll post some high quality pictures (with her bigger brother, too) then. Man, it's painful counting down the days!

I'm on Instagram as @ngoansx if you want to hook up.

Yes it was. It sold, but buyer could not secure financing. I took it as a sign and decided to keep her

Those shoulder pads on the rear seat belts really bring back memories. I still have quite a few pairs of those in perfect shape. Your cars look great!

Welcome back to the ITR world! Thieves sure do suck, and California is notorious for car thieves. Glad that you bought the car back, congratulations on your wedding as well. Life's looking good brother.

Cheers,
Dan.

Congrats on the pick up. She looks to be a fine example. Must feel great getting back into an ITR after all these years.

Awesome! Great find! Definitely wise to wait for a low mileage stock one!

ITR meet at Diamond Jamboree!

Damn. It's in perfect condition too.

Congratulations. My jealously far exceeds any scale in existence.
