longest 48hours
Having grown up playing Gran Turismo and the like ive been lucky enough to finally get my hands on a real ITR. Test drove it along with a Civic type R, and S2000. I have to say the S2000 and ITR were simply aweson, and civic was just dull. Nearly put the money down on the S2000, but in the end went for the ITR instead (couldnt get insured on the S2000:-(. Unfortunatly i bought the car from a honda dealer which meant they had to "approve the car", service it, clean it, and tax it before they can release the car. Its now 7 days on and am getting very inpatient, have phoned them three times today already apparently the car will definatly be ready by this weekend.....so only a 48 hours to go so till than i just need to keep on reading about how good the ITR is

48hrs turned into another 24hrs..but finally i was able to pick her up today..am actually glad the dealer spent so long preparing her, cos she looks spotless...almost didnt want to drive her incase she got dirty, but than i remeber just how good she was on the test drive
I paid top money for the car, but it was from a honda dealer and came with all the extra support (warranty/honda service history...etc) I really dont see my self selling this car for a long time, so i didnt mind paying a bit extra.
Am actually in England, here we have some amazing roads, infact long straight sections of road are pretty rare (not counting motorways/freeways)..so shes going to be put to good use. Luckly car thefts here is much less of a problem..but like some one said if they really want your car they'll find a way : , that picture of the gutted ITR is pretty sad
Hoping to add a better sound system to the car soon..though am not sure if anything will ever sound as good as a ITR being driven hard...hehe actually my friend described the car as "frightening" when i was driving it in the VETEC zone
Anyways heres some images

God i love this car. Just being for a "quick" trip down to the local supermarket. Its normaly a 5 mintue drive, today it turned into a 45minute drive and i had to fill up with petrol on the way back
Being exploring the car more, i think i have a 3rd gear synchro problem..makes a grinding noise when i shift up on high revs..but am not too worried cos i have a 12month honda warranty Actually am using it as an excuse to drive the car quite hard..just to check the car for any other problems ofcourse
Anyways here are some more picts...

humm i think they probably would espically consider ive only had the car for a few days. Ive asked around and it appears that honda dealer (here in england anyways) are happy to replace clutchs under warranty...and i would have thought the clutch is much more of a wear item than part of the gear box especillay when the cars' only done 40K...hehe that my line anyways, will found out soon enough
