Congrats on the new to you ITR! If the parts are the same that is a good find. The OEM side skirts are discontinued.

OEM Spec 02-23-2018 09:11 AM

Yes the parts will fit yours. They are at a very good price too so I would snag them up soon

tegra7 02-23-2018 09:29 AM

That’s in USD. The strut bars is quite corroded.

OEM Spec 02-23-2018 01:08 PM

^ How did your R make out with the oil burning issue? Did you tear it apart yet

Not yet. Runs good but will need to replace the rings eventually.

Changed, left out "honda" didn't want "acura" boys to feel left out.

and a 2003 Ep3.. owned since 05..

TouringTeg 02-27-2018 03:03 PM

Welcome ! :buttrock:

Mud and snows on my ITR too but not for much longer.

My neighbor is a Honda nut too. He has a 91 Civic Si teal green freshly repainted and an 04 or 05 EP3 silver/5 lug that was formerly a VPD car. I think it was used during the "Resist the Race" period in 2002.

LOL


but all 04/05 EP3 were 5x114.3..... just the 02/03 were 4 x100
the TYPE R acutally gets better fuel economy than the EP3. for those who are wondering

haha yah that is the only way I know it is an 04/05

Ahh the euro R! All we are missing is someone with an NSX-R and much more attainable DB8 ITR :D

twitchyzero 02-27-2018 09:47 PM

tofu aint nobody gonna wanna buy that though when you wanna new car a fortnight later?
I would only go through with importing one if I know it's for long-term

tofu1413 02-27-2018 11:04 PM

Nothing wrong with the cars.


Just itching for changes in garage all the time.


Quite a few guys that have picked up my old cars could vouch they’re quite decent. I spend probably up to two years worth of maintenance in the course of four months of ownership

twitchyzero 02-27-2018 11:36 PM

I meant the market for the CL7 Euro-R here is very small
but you do this for a living and what do I know :)

white rocket 02-28-2018 08:27 AM

Nice score tofu!! So would that be a 2003 model year? I have always loved the 04-08 TSX body style. Lots of aftermarket support for them.

I assume you will be selling the EM1 once the Euro-R is received?

tofu1413 02-28-2018 09:31 AM

its a 2002.

im surprised how early this car was out in Japan!

i had difficulty selling the CL1 Euro R as it was a super niche car. It was great though. really captured the spirit of the DC2 R but in a more everyday liveable manner.


i could only imagine the CL7 being more lively than the NA TSX. K20R will be pretty awesome too, rev happier than the K24!

Nice to see someone else who likes the CL9 Euro-R enough to buy one legit (instead of just rebadging an NA-spec TSX). The CL9 is my attainable/long-term goal dream car

And on a similar subject, do any RS users own a legit DC5 Integra R (not an aftermarket-rebadged RSX Type S but an RHD grey import) or legit EK/EP Civic R?

twitchyzero 03-01-2018 03:01 PM

i don't think i've actually seen any rebadged TSXs before
a handful of rebadged RSXs though
