Hey, my names Chris and I just picked up a 98 ITR a couple weeks ago. I had a JDM front LS 2 years ago, but it was stolen, and since then I had been contemplating buying an ITR. I found one for a price I couldn't refuse and had to buy it. It was a little less than desired when I picked it up, but I'm working on restoring it. When I got it, it was missing the CF interior pieces, including the gauge cluster and also the door panels. In their place were GSR parts. I've since gotten JDM ITR panels w/o tweeters, and am currently trying to source some of the dash/radio console parts I'm missing. The exterior isn't very pretty either. Its got 103xxx miles, so its got the usual battle scars from time. Its got a few dings around it, a crack in the front bumper and a nasty little dent in the rear quarter on the drivers side. Also, the door lock module went out, so the power locks don't work. Kind of a good thing cause that makes one less way to steal it.

Here's a rundown of the car:
98 ITR #0309(just found the 2nd owner who had the badge, so thats coming soon)
JDM ITR Door panels w/o tweeters
JDM ITR Rear seats
JDM Clock blockoff plate
JDM armrest eliminator
GSR cluster(soon to be replaced by a JDM ITR cluster)
SMSP test pipe
Spoon B pipe
JDM ITR axle back
Stock intake arm w/ cone filter
Tein S-Tech springs
Spoon Front strut bar

I bought this car knowing it'd need some work, but I got more than I expected. Sourcing the missing interior pieces should be done before or shortly after Expo, and the body work should be done at year's end. I'm very happy to have it, and enjoy driving it so much. My plans are to auto-x it, and maybe track it a few times on a road course. Once its paid off I want to retire it from the streets and turn it into a full track car, or buy a shell and build a track car and keep this as my daily. I'm in Virginia, so I'll be attending Expo in a few weeks. Hope to see a lot of you guys there.

Anyways, here's some pics:
