Default Just got me a 96 JDM ITR.....

I sold my JDM Si-VTEC integra and picked up my 96 ITR this week, I'm so impressed...much more raw power/speed than my Si and i got a host of JDM extras with it. The car came with 17" Advan TCs wrapped in nearly new Yokohama Advan Neova rubber all round. It has coilovers with 5 hardness settings, but i cant figure out a make for them and there are no markings on them only a sticker that said 4.5kg/mm which is the spring rating, both springs and shocks are black in colour. It had a full cat back Spoon N1 exhaust AND lying in the boot was a full cat back Fujitsubo LegalisR which i now have on the car as the N1 was too loud (even with the baffle in) for my liking. I also got the complete original suspension too. It has Apexi A750 red pads all round, a spoon rear strut brace, HKS iridium plugs, NGK 7mm blue leads, an earthing kit and an engine damper kit (which i had never seen on a car before) and also has a 'Feels' filter and extension pipe. The red recaros are in reasonably good condition with a little wear on the drivers seat but nothing serious.
(please dont ask to buy the N1 as i'm in europe and shipping would be a nightmare as teh b pipe is all in one section)

What does the other side of the damper connect to? Something on the firewall?



Reminds me of the jaunce on the Turbo Pig, but mine just has a big poly bushing, nothing that fancy.

abs are optional on all jdm itrs, some don't have them.

Yeah I'm glad you pointed that out, a nice set of 16 inch Volk Te37's or some Advan RG's will surprising give the car a lot more style..

On the car as is...

ABS was an option on JDM ITRs, it doesnt bother me that much.
The car has only 38K miles on it (hard to tell if its genuine or not but judging by seat wear etc, i'd say its not far off)

The drivers side headlight was replaced with a JDM Ti integra light (chrome housing) i have a black housing light on the way for it at the moment. I dont know why it was replaced (possibly cracked) I had the car thoroughly inspected before i bought it and theres no sign of any accident damage/repair to the front radiator supports, cross member inner brackets etc, so i can only suppose the light was replaced because of superficial damage at some time.

The engine damper is connected to a bracket which is bolted to the wheel arch.

I would have prefered a set of 16" rims or even the original 15s but i like the TCs and they're as rare as hell over here so at least i have something that possibly no else has in this country.

I dont think the suspension is mugen, arent all their shocks silver in colour and all other ones i've seen had mugen stickers near the bottom of the shock. Theyre plain black shocks and springs with a yellow label with kengi writing and no mark or symbol i recognise. The top of the shock has a little red disc with white markings from 1 to 5 and you adjust the settings with a screw driver (maybe someone may recognise the set up from that description. I'll get pictures but in reality all you'll see is black shocks, gold/brass coloured adjustable perch and black springs....

Its very hard to tell just from the picture, i'm going to try and have a closer look today. Do spoon coilovers have 5 hardness settings and adjusted using a screwdriver?
