Yup, he's still got it! I hope he doesn't mind the picture re-share. More track miles than road miles and has owned it since new. Doing ITR ownership right :thumbsup:

i never really keep track of who wins the bidding on the bringatrailer ads however i do notice silversurfer007 bids on them all and asks a billion questions.

I am suprised this car is at about 29k CAD with 5% bat fee already. A lot of people saw the 97 ITR sell at barrett jackson for $68,500 USD and see dollar signs.

It is fun owning a car that is rising in value but at the same time it makes you think twice about adding miles. These cars are meant to be driven.

Pretty crazy the seller said he destroyed 4 of them at the track and threw out the interiors for a cage.

I will go watch it now.

ITR is a good investment.. i thought MR2's would hold value as well, obviously not as good as ITR

crazy how only rx-7/S2000/ITR are the only once-attainable (in the teens) enthusiasts cars to have appreciate dramatically in value

boxster, E36/E46/E85/E86 M, mazdaspeed miata, none of which seems to have people throwing money mindlessly at them

A E46 M3 ZCP in Interlagos Blue with the SMG was sold for 50K USD last month. Crazy stuff.

tofu1413 11-07-2018 09:51 AM

E46 market is healthy for now.

MS miata are still 10k!

mazdaspeed protege can also be attained very cheap

TouringTeg 11-07-2018 01:52 PM

Mazdaspeed Miata is such a capable car. There is one with a few Racing Beat upgrades that competes very well at my local autox.

Few reason is because they are still being made, expensive to maintain, no racing pedigree and not limited production.

R1CED` 11-07-2018 06:08 PM

Mazdaspeeds are pretty limited, fairly reliable, and out of production

no pedigree means cheap power to be had

thumper 11-11-2018 06:56 AM

they didn't even bother to try and color match the radiator support... that looks like frost white not championship white to me?

TouringTeg 11-11-2018 08:58 AM

Damn listing gone already

i think it said 42xxx in the ad?

twitchyzero 11-11-2018 10:53 AM

title: salvage
no test pilots! lmao

it looked pretty neglected

did that 97 k-swap with LED taillights end up selling? anyone know how much?

VR6GTI 11-11-2018 12:29 PM

It looked beat to shit. Must have meant 7k not 27k


The 97 LED k swapped sold to someone local after the US deal fell through. Not sure how much. I’m guessing 20-25k

tofu1413 11-11-2018 04:13 PM

salvage title with a "rebuilt" motor as well.

had a chrome valve cover... borderline cringe spec.

tegra7 11-12-2018 12:56 PM

Who’s car is this?!?
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...l_notification

tofu1413 11-12-2018 01:15 PM

this was the one that was for sale for $28k a few months back.


Long story short, the current guy bought it and gave evo garage a blank cheque to fix it back to spec.

(it had B16a cams in it at one point....... :lawl: )
