Ran into this earlier today, trying to recover his beloved ITR. I'm not sure if anyone has posted this yet, if so, look it. Sorry.

First time I've seen it... ******' nasty!

Poor R

 

dam......

 

Thanks for the repost, crazy **** man. Feel for the guy.

 

whoa

 

I met him in Rockville at one of the Barnes & Noble meets.

Nice guy, so much to go through ... twice!
He brought his ITR restoration photo album to the meet with him.

 

hes one of the people who truely appreciate the itr for what it is. i hate to say it but most people who own a itr dont deserve it.

 

isn't he (or wasn't he) in the tampa, florida area before? seem to recall hearing about it locally earlier this year.

 

That's an amazing job he did rebuilding the whole front end.

 

I can comment on that. The ITR is one of our most unique and impressive car in our generation to date (my opinion). Who knows, 20 years from now, one of us will be doing the same thing. Restoring a fine automobile.


Hell, I'm in the middle of restoring a '88 Crx HF, might not be an ITR but the joy of piecing it together gets me a hard woody.

heh, i think he bought that carpet from me...

 

Those HF's are classics in their own right!

 

damn, i didn't know something like that was salvageable.

 

I remember this.

 

i remember this as well.

he rebuilt it into one of the most unique type r's i've ever seen, hands down

 

How could he smile after something like this happenend to his R.

 

yep.. we met him there, ed.. they were with their cousin, Jon, with the yellow M3.. I had heard about that car a lot from Jon, and it was awesome to see the photo album of the complete rebuild.. it's a beautiful R once again.. hopefully they'll bring it up sometime..

and yeah, Dave-ROR, I believe he and his brother live in the Tampa area..


Lexor - he could smile like that because he had the cash to rebuild it! lol..

Sweet car but why a black top and wing?

 

So...what happened?

 

I personally thing that is about the coolest thing i've ever seen done to an ITR

 

I think the black top and wing looks pretty sweet, it reminds me of the prototype NSX-R with the CF wing.

Also... I wonder why this wasn't covered under some kind of warranty or insurance, surely a fuel line exploding isn't the driver's fault...

 

I think it is kinda cool but it reminds me of the first gen eclipses or talons with the black roof.
