At 175k you really gotta ask yourself does it still drive like an ITR and if not what would it take to mechanically restore back to ITR specs.

90% chance it's burning oil and has a grind or 2. What's the point of having an itr when you can't drive it like one.

Budget 10k for a mechanical resto to refresh engine trans and suspension. I'd say your into for 15k + the cost of the car to get it back to its former glory and a trackable condition. You could do it all in stages over the course of a couple years. Let's be realistic , any 20yr old car is gonna be a project. I'm going through this process right now with my 92 EG with 400000km. Did full mechanical resto over the last 4yr, moving onto interior this yr , next next yr is bodywork. If you love the car and it's a keeper, money and time is no object.

That car needs to find the right owner, I wish I could save them all.
