This is Dave driving his newly acquired 2000 ITR out of my driveway to start his trip home.

I'll have a few more pictures later in the day.

Nice! I've been hearing he has one of every color now? CW, PY, NHBP, and FBP? I wish Vogue Metallic Silver and Milano Red ITRs came to our shores...

Did you have to lend him a phone book so he could see over the dash?

Hey dave, when you get to your NC pitstop I have a can of PPG NH-592P and some q-tips with your name all over it.

Dave_Bs don't belong in Black ITRs. I call for a boycott.

Bbasso · Post by **Bbasso** » May 5th, 2007, 11:34 am

I dunno, he looks pretty comfy in it...

Dave_B · Post by **Dave_B** » May 6th, 2007, 12:45 am

All....

Just got home, it's a little after midnight on Saturday or Sunday, depends how you want to look at it.

Impressions...

Bald 215's + Rain = heart attack
This car consumes more oilcohol than a bloody irishman.
Sussy needs to be worked a bit.
Stupid shit needs to be removed.
Determine where oil is going... 5 qts in the whole trip... basically every time I filled up.

I love the car though, and new a car with this mileage was going to need some serious TLC to get it where I want it. The SRD's are rather comfy for longer trips, just wish I could recline them. Mugen shift knob sucks, not very comfy at all.

I had her up to 110 at one point, but backed off in fear of damage on the way home. I'm going to get the car up to the shop tomorrow and see what's in store. Definite detail + whatever else.

Thanks to all that lent a place to chill.

they recline pretty far Dave. Glad you like it though.

Dave_B · Post by **Dave_B** » May 6th, 2007, 1:12 am

Yeah, I'd say I'm happy. Happy to be home!!!

She's got some work ahead of her soon, maybe I'll just buy another short block, throw it in, and then work the original block or something...

Oh mang, sorry to hear.

If you could afford, get a Spoon complete motor.
Spoon Catalog
That would leave you with a complete spare motor ( after re-build-it yourself) for your FLEET 0' ARRRHHS.
Spoon Catalog .pdf has noice pics of engine bays.

wonder what kind of power a spoon motor makes?

It's nothing ridiculous... some dude had one on JDMU and I think he was putting down like 190whp or something.... however you could drive it coast to coast at 9k though.

Erik95LS · Post by **Erik95LS** » May 6th, 2007, 3:06 pm

I've never noticed the A/C lines being like that on a RHD R before. wierd.

Yeah, basically blueprinted to a higher degree than Honda with a 9k redline. Has other bits to work with a higher revving motor.

No spoom motors for me guys. Probably order a short block from Len for now. That would give me a spare, but no head.

OR....

I buy a used engine somewhere, rebuild and go from there.

Yes, after Erik posted I could, I figured it out. I looked and looked and tried on the "correct" side, not the inner side. LOL
