Integra Type-R Discussion - Discuss general ITR information, technical information (including requests for technical/mechanical help/assistance), modifications, tuning, etc.
Hey everyone, I'm new to ITRCA but I see a lot of familier names here. I don't know why I never registered before. Anywho, I'm on my second ITR which is a 97 #165.
This was my 98 #1076 which was stolen, recovered, sold to me, then stolen again. I have no idea if the car was ever recovered after it was stolen from me back in December of 06.
How she looked when I got her.
The build up...
Just finished and got her running for the first time.
One of the few track events I got to take it to over the short time I had it.
And now the 97. I picked this up back in August and quickly started working on it. These are the only pictures I have of it for now.
Me and the car at Buttonwillow a couple of weeks ago.

Thank you. I'd love to go to Expo 8 but I'm out in Cali. I was actually curious to see how some of the other guys got out there. Did they drive? Ship their car and fly? I'm willing to make it happen but I'd rather not have to take two weeks off of work to do it.

Some tow, I'm sure you could ship (given you have someone close to the track, have it shipped to them, fly in and have them pick you up, drive your car to track, then ship back) There is a guy that has driven the past 2 years from WA state. it's doable. And trust me, VERY worth it. the track event is only half the fun.
But, if you can't get the car there, your still only a plane ride away. Hell, fly to FL, you can crash at my pad and drive up with our caravan. SE Caravan > ***

I think driving would be the way I'd go. I've been thinking about it for the last couple of months. I don't think I could handle flying out there without my car and watching everyone else have fun on the track. Thanks for the suggestions.

I caravan'd my first Expo and didn't drive. I still had a blast... beer in hand at 8 am. BUT... bringing your car is the WAY TO GO!!! If your up for it, it would definitely be worth it!!! And since this year is again at VIR, it's definitely worth it.

I was just talking to Koala Yummies about caravanning. I'm 99.9% sure I'm going to go. But damn, its still 8 months away.
My apologies for chiming in so late, welcome aboard my friend. You seem to have a good head on your shoulders and will make a nice addition to the conversation we have on here. There are some great people and you'll make a lot of nice friends.
Just curious, were your wheels resprayed/powder-coated that color? 16x7's ? They look great, the whole car looks great.

Thank you. I see a lot of the same screen names from HT over here. I've been on HT since '01. I'm hoping to meet a lot of you guys at expo 8. Should be real fun.
My MF10s I got new and they came silver in 16x7. I just ordered the black valvestems and center caps because I don't really like the blue.
. Sent you a PM about that.
Nice pics! Enjoy and keep heR safe
