jut seems like JDM 150ish kms would sit around the market for 7-8k...but LHD rebuilts with higher kms once in the 8-10k they'll go pretty fast.
Finding the bottom is kind of interesting. Both are hard to sell. I think I would rather have a LHD rebuild to beat on the track. I had RHD in the past and have no desire to own one again.
Next option would be higher mileage LHD. There is a 99 CW in Toronto with 282kms for about $12k CAD. JDM motor, front end, wheels, seats etc. Not a collector car but if well maintained could be a lot of fun for the money. (No mention of VINs, accidents or rust.)

unless you have photos with panels off, i auto-assume any lhd ITR with jdm front has been in an accident...wouldn't even believe a clean carfax/icbc report.
so in that vehicle's defense it's being transparent not to mention all mods are OE/Spoon and highly sought-after. I can see someone who wants a complete package pay a small premium and take it for 25k or pretty darn close to asking
1999 but in yellow? waddup with that? a repaint for sure.

Seriously though, the paint quality for the inner fenders is better quality than most complete high end paint jobs. Truly amazing!! His post about the bolt markings and torque specs is just a crazy attention to detail.
Saw a white Type R yesterday, parked near Fraser and 32nd
Quite nice. JDM front, carbon Spoon lip, grey JDM Type R wheels, with a unique wing, looked like the regular Type R wing in white but with a black tail on it.
Was driving past it, couldn't tell if it was RHD or LHD. No photos because of driving
His post about the bolt markings and torque specs is just a crazy attention to detail.
Your referring to him Marking a line on the bolts, and coming back to check and re torque after he shakes down the car?
I can only imagine that he's only doing this on vital components like suspension, driveline, and such. He can't possibly be going back to bolts inside the door panels, and such. Then again with the attention to detail on his car, maybe he is. I'm totally with you, that car is insane.
Spoiler!
I love that we have gotten to a point where people are now doing restomods on cars that our generation grew up with. Gives a lot of perspective to what the guys who grew up around 60's and 70's muscle went through in the late eighties and nineties, when they first started restoring muscle cars.
I mean rotisserie restorations on old muscle and retro cars is nothing new today. But it's not often you see Honda's, Nissan's, and toyota's of our tuner generation receiving this type of treatment. And the older these cars get, the more we get to see these kinds of sick builds.
It's actually going to drive in a whole new breed of shop, the older guys from my generation wanting to re-live their youth in S2k's, Integra's, Supra's, S15's etc. Looking for shops and people who are well versed enough in these cars to find parts, fabricate components, and bring new life to these cars. It'd be an interesting market to see who capitalizes on it.
Seems like people look down on RHD itrs. Even though the 96 specs are 300 lbs lighter than LHD ones. I'd rather buy a RHD in lower mileage, better condition for half the price of a somewhat beat LHD counterpart.
