Dad helped me pick it out, he loves it, but I hate letting him drive it. Brother thinks its fast, he says he can't wait to get his license so he can drive it (not going to happen). My sister/girl friends have the typical girl response: oh its pretty!, what does that do? why is your shift knob so pla...

Wheels? Exhaust? Help!

Ok, a few questions... Remember, I'm new to all this ITR stuff... Wheels: 1.) how much do the stock ITR wheels weigh? 2.) what wheels does everyone else have on their ITRs? 3.) In your opinion, should I use the stock ITR wheels for race wheels and get street wheels or the other way around? Exhaust: ...

The car is from So. Cali, but he drove it all the way to Utah for me. The day I got it was the first time the car had seen snow... Now it won't stop snowing and I really don't want to buy snow tires that I'll need for a month, so I'm getting anxious, I just want to drive it and racing doesn't start ...

I just barely got my 01 and it'll be parked outside half the time, the other half it'll be in a garage. But that doesn't make me feel any better, my S4 was stolen out of the closed, secure garage. Luckily we recovered it, and the ITR has a kill switch that was re-wired through the firewall. I'm stil...

I couldn't drive to Cali to get the car, so the owner offered to drive it here. Before I agreed to buy it, I had 2 Acura dealerships do a prepurchase inspection and call me personally with the results. They said everything looked great. So I wired him half the money as security, but then I spent all...

I don't know if anything is wrong with the stock shocks, I haven't driven the car yet, but I'm trying to compete on a national level and the national level DS cars all have other shocks... I drove an HS civic before this and really wasn't competitive at all, so I am looking forward to actually placi...

Just Bought an ITR...

I am getting an ITR on Sat., its a 2001, 33k miles, bone stock, I haven't seen the car because its coming from a different state (I know...its kind of unnerving but the dealer in Cali thought it looked good) and I'm pretty excited. Anything I should know about now that its too late? Anything I shoul...

Staggered Tire for Auto-x?

I was looking at some of the nationally competeitive ITRs and they are running staggered tire set ups. Does anyone have personal expirience with this? What tires do you guys run on your ITRs? I'll be in DS this season locally and have no idea what tire to buy or what size has the most success, I rac...

Thank you for your help.

Are there any problems that are ITR specific? I know for some cars like the Subaru 2.5, their second gear is weak and they have transmission problems, I haven't heard anything about ITR's from the guys here locally, but maybe someone else has insight?

Newbie Questions

Hey everyone,

I want to buy an ITR in the next few months to use in Solo2 racing. I was wondering if anyone had any advice as to which years to look for, where I could find a stock car, how much ITR's usually go for, etc...

Any advice would help.

Thanks!!
