Default Yes, finally! 442 is mine!

Ah what a relief after the longest week ever 442 is sleeping sound in it's new home So far I'm soooo in love with the car, I can't believe how great it is.

My favorite thing about the car is the transmission! Going from the cable trannied Prelude this thing shifts so smooth and the shifts are so direct and tight. This car is just a blast to drive, I can't believe how much fun it is even just cruising down the interestate at 80mph.

Well thanks Cheeseman I'll take good care of it

Here's some dirty bird pics:





I've only taken it out once so far and I had 3 people ask me if it was fast and one girl tell me it wasn't real because real Type R's are "right hand drivers". hehehe

Oh yeah, I think PY should be sold as an anti-depressant.

Oh yeah if anybody wants some CRV steelies let me know.

Stock ITR's are slow (straight line)...at least to me.

EDIT: Congrats on your new ride.

Thanks man. Yeah I would've liked to have found one with lower miles but after seeing the car and meeting Ralph I knew that it was a car that had been driven responsibly and taken care of.

So ralph didn't tell you about the countless times he took it to the dragstrip?

I mean, almost every day he was out there...crunching those gears...smoking clutches...bouncing off the rev limiter...

Has he forgotten to mention that?

00ps


huhu...just joking, mang...enjoy a well cared for ITR.

Congrats on the new ride I love mine even though my clutch is going out. About it being fast well in a straight line its not that quick. Thats just not what they are meant to do. Can they be quick? Hell yeah we all know that but they werent built for it. If it was made for drag racing it would have came with a big block.

So it has been baptised

This is the first unique pick I've seen of an ITR in a long time

I agree. Was this done with photoshop or did it just come out that way?

Edit: I meant the fading on the four corners of the pic.
