Gotta be crazy to spend 23 grand on a rusty 20 year old car needing an engine rebuild

What if it's a Ferrari GTO?

Americans have been doing that like crazy with JDM stuff.

I am curious too. I feel like it was a fair deal but I will let you guys be the judge.

I would have driven it a few more years before doing an OEM rebuild.

Keep in mind that the 2001 CDM is pretty rare. It was the only ITR that received full red interior. Just 185 built.

Is it bad to have a heavy foot? Most people I know accelerate sports cars pretty hard.

^ I think we all drive our cars hard. God knows my ITR has been driven hard for the majority of it's 170kms. It begs for it. 24hrs straight of beating on it from Victoria to LA is another story.

My TE37 are up for sale here:

Its not that crazy.
Buy it for 23k, spend 20k on it and you have a perfect car that you know how everything was done. Then your 43k ITR is exactly what you want. People are spending most of that on cars that appear good then turn out to need most of the same work. The moral of the story, all 20 year old cars are pieces of shit, it just depends how much of a piece of shit they are haha. Its exactly the same across the board. Every 964 I have looked at is trash, my e36 is trash, e30s are all trash. Unless they have been restored you can spend it all at once at the beginning, or spend it through the life of the car if you want to enjoy it.

That's what I find crazy, a lot of them are paying premium prices for not-premium cars. I've seen cars with the same mileage as mine but zero maintenance done (let alone all the other work I did) sell for more than what I was asking for my car.

Engine work and body work are the most labour intensive jobs that require a specific skill set that diy can't do at home. This car requires both of them. I've seen cleaner cars for the same price.

The face that it's a stock 01 is pretty much canceled out by the rust and engine rebuild

so he left it in 3rd gear for 24 hours down the interstate?

my head would explode after 20 minutes

We'll never know. But admitted he was testing the top speed and was VTECing the whole way to keep up with the Gallardo and R34 GTR.

The clicks and likes of “ blowing up my dream car on purpose for the exposure” will more than pay for the rebuild. Saw your IG post too - are they going to give it away? Raffles are a huge cash cow for youtubers these days. Bunch of the car channels are doing it.

Yes they posted a poll on their IG story asking if anyone would like to win the ITR in a raffle.

They have a new merchandise provider and website launching in a week so my guess is they will give away an entry for every purchase on the new site. Same provider as Tanner Fox. (More cringe).

Man, if I wasn't saving up for a place I would have bought these asap. Dream wheels for my EK!

Damn! Been off RS for a couple months and missed my chance to buy TouringTeg’s ITR.

Was a good deal for both seller and buyer. DDE has the $ to bring it to showroom condition.

are these really worth this much?

2001 JDM Integra Type R $18,000 obo - $18000

^ no.

You can import one for yourself for A LOT less than their asking price. I just imported a dc2 ITR and they actually go for more than a dc5. You could probably import a dc5 similar to the one in the ad for 10-13k landed. So no way that car is worth 18k.

Yeah but this one comes with F.O.T

Female Ownership Tax

yeah but can you test drive it? how much to get it registered?

i think if they'll sell for 15k that's pretty fair

only 3 more years until the FD2R is importable

$3K tax, previously sold for 15K

Does FOT still count if she looks like a man?

Same person who owns the itr db8? :p

Yeah I think she owns or owned a db8r, as well owns a dc2r. Good taste in cars..

Man I want a db8r.

You can import DC5R for like 10-12 grand registered. They are not really popular.
18000 is more EK9R price.
