type R build

richeerich03 · 06-25-2010, 02:29 PM

My good friend Jon is bringing a Type R back from the dead.. No rice just straight OEM..

It's not finished, but his progress is pretty amazing..

I'd thought I share with those who appreciate a pretty legit build thread..

wow love those re-building thread!

infinitekidM2C · 06-25-2010, 04:07 PM

i started in the japanese tuner scene with Integra's (would have killed for an ITR back in those days as would have everyone). Props to that guy on the re-build. That is a SERIOUS rebuild though. I mean the starting point was a bad condition shell basically. Wondering how much the poor guy is gonna pay to almost create an ITR from OEM parts. OUCH $$$.

richeerich03 · 06-25-2010, 05:54 PM

lots and lots of money.. I can't wait till its done.. its gonna be clean..

VERY interested!! use to have a 2000 ls

Dedication at its best!

MMOTION · 06-26-2010, 01:42 AM

I'm all for these dedicated builds but wouldn't it have been more cost efficient if he had just bought a ITR straight up? From the looks of it, i think its gonna cost a hell lot more with this rebuild than if he had just picked up one in excellent used condition.

Maseroche · 06-26-2010, 04:15 AM

Good progress on this project! Love seeing something left for dead resurrected back to life.

blue2fire · 06-26-2010, 04:28 AM

Wow, ITR's are so rare. Love that car, it is the only FWD in EVO's top 100 list.

Saigon · 06-26-2010, 08:43 PM

my build ended up being about the same as buying one new minus a few thousand that doesn't include the mods I used instead of stock parts so I was a little more modded in the end and I was able to pay for the car as I went although I owned it from the beginning... And I learned a lot.

11Past9 · 06-27-2010, 03:02 PM

H22 for the motor? Fail... sorry but one of the reasons the ITR was so special was its powerplant and handling demeanor... throwing a heavy ass motor like that in is pointless you could just do that with an LS...

richeerich03 · 06-28-2010, 02:11 PM

to each his own...

Unfortunately the car will get stolen the first time it's parked in public.

I think he's referring to the rarity of it and how much its sought after by car thieves?

I love the Type R and still do. Too bad most of them are stripped and parted out to put on Civics.
