That one in Seattle already deleted.

Would have made a great driver!

Tyee Imports has had an ugly one for months. (Maybe over a year?) Needs lots of work but just 76kms. Good for a track car or someone who has a lot of spare OEM parts.

A DB8R is the next build for me. The only acceptable ITR RHD variant. CW only though. Been saving all my Spoon parts for it.

That's a nice black one, but not $18K nice :rukidding:

DB8 ITR are generally more unicorn than any USDM ITR

I don't think 18K is redonkulous...something like 13-14K is probably fair for its mileage

I wouldn't mind one in silver :accepted:

Would you guys pick a DB8 Type-R or CL1 Euro-R?
tofu how was the driving dynamics of that vs all the ITRs you've owned?

CL1 was a slightly heavier, more refined shell than the DC2.


Nicer torque on the H22, just didnt rev as high or quickly as the B18C.


its like a daily driver variant of the DC2 imo.

!Aznboi128 01-17-2017 05:29 PM

Gotta say I love the CL1

That's where I'd be at as well. I dislike the '96 spec with the 5 lug swap. I'd much prefer the '98 spec and would probably pay the asking price if it was. I may pop by, have a look at it and make an offer. Velocity had a '98 DB8 in CW that sold last year but apparently it was rough.

Vogue Metallic Silver is a boss color and Jay from ITR Expo has a nice '96 spec. I'd love me some R81 action but no DB8 in that color. An EU LHD example is still on the bucket list though.

ninja edit: Just noticed that the DB8 ad is no longer there. Hmmm......

^^New link I guess. The others posted weren't working.

thumper 01-18-2017 10:52 AM

yeah i know. kinda frustrating. typical ad practice by sellers to make the posting look recent.

Akord 01-18-2017 09:01 PM

white rocket, tofu, if you guys ever decide to import DB8 ITR, let me know. I would be interested in a group buy, for real SeemsGood

Akord 01-18-2017 09:03 PM

actually would also def consider a USDM Black ITR, or CW CTR. Any one of these three will be purchased soon.

this one right? how much were they asking like 10-12k? I remember the photos of the engine bay/exterior looked quite aged

if this is still in the cards in a few years with a strong dollar again, I'll be interested too haha

white rocket 01-18-2017 10:31 PM

^^yeah, that's the one. Price got down to $9,800 at one point. Pretty sure it sold for less than that. It had rough paint, oxidized bolts throughout, trunk leaked, engine bay looked terrible, etc. Don't recall any mention of the mechanical integrity.

I'm curious if the ITR tax has hit the JDM versions now. There were a handful of '96 specs for sale locally here over the last few years and they all seemed to average in the $10K range. The U.S. market is so vastly different(and crazy expensive with the exchange) so it's hard to compare it to Canada considering that the import rules are different. There's a '98 spec with 154,000kms for $17,000USD on FB. That just seems ridiculous to me but the average U.S. enthusiast goes freaking bananas for RHD stuff to the point that they covert LHD Intregra's and Civic's.

I don't follow the JDM auctions or anything but for those that have, has the stock dwindled or has pricing gone up at all? Are local Japanese enthusiasts interested in these cars more now than before and are they staying local? I'm completely out of touch on the European market but curious on the current worldwide demand and if it has increased, therefore raising prices and depleting inventory.

twitchyzero 01-18-2017 10:44 PM

i want to say it'll vary state-by-state
driving anything newer than 25 years old just seems like massive risk as I'm sure most of them are through loopholes/grey areas.

havent followed it for a few years but given that the hype for it locally appears to have died down but USDM stuff has shot up, I want to say its inventory if drying out is due to

1. UK folks buying them ( so I've read)
2. most are striped away for parts...remember photos of the Type R grave several pages back? (this is probably a bigger factor)

I would be in for a good condition DC ITR

thumper 01-19-2017 07:33 AM

not sure if anyone is looking for one of these... hard to find from japan these days because wrecking yards are now required by law to pop all airbags and shipping is difficult because it's now considered to be an explosive :(

just make sure that the hub is dc2(r) and not ek(9) because the splines don't match. back in the day i had to have a custom hub machined out of steel and a dc2 splined neck welded together to make it work...

Did u get a chance to take a look at it?
It's taxed up but actually not that bad since its here already and some important things have been refreshed.

Anyone successfully get collector plates on their local Rs?
