Just like the 1M giveaway from obsessed garage. Spend $30-40 USD on a hat for one entry!!111!11

So is it like those lotteries for BC Children's Hospital?

But in this case, rather than the money going towards children, it's going towards douchebags?

SkunkWorks 07-29-2019 06:37 AM

Also zero assurance their buddy coincidentally "wins" the lottery draw too.

Yes, but except the BC Hospital, ones are legit and going to a good cause. Their buddy will just end up willing etc.

Well, ostensibly you’re buying merchandise for yourself and that spending is your entry... it’s not a donation... if they do run it like other places do.

One would hope you actually wanted said merchandise and aren’t just buying it for an entry...

tofu1413 07-29-2019 09:18 AM

Man, money is one thing, but selling ITRs, really need to screen the next owner.

no different from interviewing the boyfriend that dates your daughter.

Paying $30 for a $5 hat to advertise for someone else and get an entry is basically a donation to them. The wording can differ but the net result is the same.

I wonder if these guys are required to properly register with BCLC for such a thing.

Any commercial contest in Canada would fall under the laws and regulations of the Competition Bureau of Canada and the Competition Act.

If you suspect they’re not abiding by the law, file a complaint with the Competition Bureau.

I'm sure there are lot of ways to steer away from regulations. They can say you're buying a hat, and it comes with a chance to win something later. Just like when you buy Tim Horton's coffee, you can win a car, but that's not gambling.

The Producer 07-29-2019 11:44 AM

like everything these clowns do, they're just jumping on the bandwagon

many auto YT's have given away vehicles over the past few years. There's a law corp that handles the contracts for all of them, handles the draws etc. DDE is just promoting a lottery being run by a completely different organization, while receiving a huge pump from the merch sales. This setup is different than the private BS Facebook raffles/waffles that have cropped up recently. For better or worse these YT giveaways are legit.

Real YT money these days comes from the merch, not the views. Giveaways drive merch sales, and tap into the "loot chest" mentality. They'll make a bundle on this in real money + the exposure.

It's super unlikely that canadians will be eligible to enter as it's way more complicated for the lawyers ($$$) unless they think their local fan base here is worth the trouble

Oh cool! I remember following the rebuild of that one back in the day. https://www.team-integra.net/threads...repair.209764/

depends on what year spec
96 spec dc2R in general are less expensive
May be less than $10K for a Grade 3?

tofu1413 08-15-2019 03:38 PM

96' spec R nowadays have increased quite a bit... i think they should go for around 9-10k landed nowadays for a half decent example.

TouringTeg 08-15-2019 04:12 PM

96 R starting to creep up as USA buyers starting to get involved.

I asked Kevin (former 01 ITR rebuild owner) a few questions about the car. It has no AC and no floor mats. Car had 16" Volk CE28 and red Recaro front seats when sold to current owner. Suspension is Tein Circuit Master Super Racing that cost him $2700 USD. Has Skunk2 Pro Series Plus camber kits front and rear.

twitchyzero 08-15-2019 05:27 PM

96spec also the lightest by a large margin over usdm

rhd might not go auction-crazy but the days of people scoffing at them here might be over soon...the difference might be end up being 10-25% vs 40-50% cheaper

they're generally in better condition too (if you ok with likely a smoker history)

Another one: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...gra-type-r-25/

That rust though. Long time owner and contributor to the ITR Expo and related groups. Super nice dude.

trollface 08-21-2019 01:56 PM

That rust doesn't look that bad at all. The bottom of my 2013 looks like that.

underscore 08-21-2019 02:45 PM

That bit of surface rust on the removable components seems like nothing to me, it would be easy enough to get cleaned up if it really bugged someone though. I'm more intrigued by what look to be some funky horns in the front end from below shot lol.

white rocket 08-21-2019 03:39 PM

Yea, he mentioned having an air horn set up but it is not working currently.

Agreed that the rust isn't a huge deal but comparative to others that have come through BaT, it will hurt the sale. That versus a completely rust free underside could sway pricing by thousands.

tofu1413 08-22-2019 08:52 AM

yellow ITR looks pretty good.

the surface stuff is just superficial. Nothing a day of removing the suspension arms, forks and the subframe, then spending some time in a sand blast booth.

looks like a nice driving example that'll require minimal elbow grease. will be a nice buy for someone.

Even more LOL at the comparison listing photos with cars that have been for sale for 4+ years... Nobody was buying those when they were $10k
