Sitting in the car, touching the panels and shifter, smelling some of the original car smell, really take me back to my early 20’s – and that’s worth the premium you pay for these. The value of these cars is much more than the physical performance they have as automobiles.

I can remember sitting in my Integra wondering if 120 seconds of Autocrossing was worth the whole day sitting and waiting at an event. Or driving out to a track day hoping I was able to make it back home and to work the next day in the very same car..

All those days of cruising around campus and justifying ditching class since there was no premo-parking available, or setting off car alarms by punching the gas in low gear in a parking lot. Or picking up on all the hotties once they saw me drive by… Actually, I don’t think that one ever actually happened."

more money than brains

trying to put a price tag on the non-leather off-gassing?

probably has an ITR floor mat framed as a centerpiece in his home

Is the key in the video only for 97 and 98 ITR?

nope. should be 97-01.

they cost over 100 bucks just for the key blank at the dealership.

TouringTeg 06-24-2018 08:02 PM

I should get more keys

PLUJ 06-24-2018 08:50 PM

I think only the 97-98 usdm and maybe 99 cdm ITR's got those keys since they didn't have an immobilizer. I have the black key for my 01.

I have a 98 ITR with that key and another black key. The chrome got pretty scratched up over the years.

Also, looking for front camber kit.

I would like to know which rear wiper plug is best for my 2001 as well. I never use the wiper.

I finished 3/52 PAX at autox yesterday :) I credit the car!

Here are my 2001 CDM keys. The grey ones look more special.

Yes. One chrome and two grey. They are for the pre-immobilizer cars (97-99). They can still be bought through Acura but a price hike put them up to like $60 per USD if not more. I picked them up a few years ago for $25 each. Even the center console is stupid expensive now.

TouringTeg 06-25-2018 12:22 PM

Would one of those keys work with my immobilizer 2001?

Good read here. Sterling has had quite the collection of low mile golden era Hondas

Negative unless you switch to OBD1 and use Hondata or something similar. The stock ECU needs to be matched to the black chip key. My 2000 is the same.

maybe jasonturbo can use another one........

white rocket 06-27-2018 07:13 AM

That's a pretty car. Never liked the kit though.

Thought about it for 5-10 minutes, there are a number of issues:

1 - It's not yellow
2 - I can't live with another b-series powered Honda, would prefer to buy something that isn't all original and low KM
3 - Rumor has it that the car is from out East and may have accident history
4 - Searching sellers phone number revealed some negative feedback from DSM forums


Surrey B.C car enthusiasts BEWARE - Club DSM Canada

HID King - The ultimate source for HID Lighting, headlights and accessories - Xenon Headlights,

Beyond all that, the sales tactic of "It's up for one week or I'll keep it" tells me the seller is looking for an emotional "panic" buyer that will disregard due-diligence in favor of ensuring the car does not slip away.

twitchyzero 06-27-2018 07:34 AM

one of the few Type-Rs I've seen in a long time that might seem to justify a high ask

teggy604 06-27-2018 07:54 AM

Would be nice if he put up some engine pictures as well as the vin tags on the body panels.

VR6GTI 06-27-2018 07:57 AM

^ edit: Shit beat me to it
What bugs me about these sellers asking so much money is they don't give any details about accidents/thefts, vin tags, recent records, the list goes on. You ask a premium prove why or i always assume your trying to hide something.
That 01 with the picture of the front cover that mark on the side isnt a scuff its proof of a poor paint job on the cover

TouringTeg 06-27-2018 12:09 PM

No picture of engine bay so you can't see the missing VIN on the fender
No mention of accidents or theft
No mention or close up of badge number
High pressure sales tactic

All of this is on purpose.

twitchyzero 06-27-2018 02:31 PM

meh when you're selling an ITR you don't have to feel obligated to post vin or badge number

those serious enough will come look at it

TouringTeg 06-27-2018 02:37 PM

^ True

In this case I am speculating that the owner did not reveal the badge number because they are purposefully trying to hide the history.

Saying this the owner will probably chime in with the badge #

I’m sure US buyers drooling right now for cdm red seats + the car

Iron Chef 06-28-2018 04:47 AM

With what there selling for these days I’m thinking more and more of unloading my R for a CTR. Fits my lifestyle more with a family. It’s the fear of massive sellers remorse that’s stopping me. The ITR is special in a way the CTR will never be but the CTR is so much more car then the ITR will ever be. Any Type R fathers wanna chime in?
