No rust, no prior damage, and the engine ran strong. Came with some Spoon parts installed (including a Spoon ECU) and an exedy hyper single series clutch.
96’ spec JDM ITR.
Tossed in the proper seats and some other interior goodies.
Changed the timing belt/water pump/seals, motor mounts, upper strut bar, installed Tein flex-z’s (looking at getting EDFC Active-Pro), added 16x7 Enkei EDR9’s with firehawk indy 500’s, swapped out the whale penis intake for gruppe m, replaced the clutch/flywheel, added the type-r spoiler and some badges.

She's sitting at around 121k km now. I put her away early this season so I could get some more work done on her. I fixed the rear bumper sag btw.
Engine bay needs some tidying up. A few rusted bolts and some other odds and ends. Repainting the valve cover soon, followed by some work on the body and the wiring. Will eventually get around to a new exhaust setup.
Planning on returning her to champ white once I save up the funds. It's gonna be a long road to get her where I want her but it's been a fun project so far and she hasn't let me down.
USDM front end will be staying for the foreseeable future, sorry folks.
