Looking to go from STi to TLX but I also want a car I can still mod and have fun with. Had my eye on the Integra Type-R for awhile but going crazy trying to find a clean LHD. Trying to find one is like pulling teeth!

01 CW ITR
150,000KMs
Couple of small claims under $2000
No mods

Price is $18,000 and the seller states he won't take a penny less than asking. This seems like the norm from what I've gathered. What happened to negotiating. These owners are overvaluing the car like it's a collectible. I would be happy to buy one in the 9-12k range but $18k is absurd. Why can't owners be more realistic with pricing? 18K is S2K territory

Anybody looking to sell their ITR for a fair price? I know there's a bunch of ITR owners on here.

Sounds like you're more of a "GS-R" kinda guy.

Just curious, are you familiar with the concept of supply and demand?

lol overvalue? Move on if youre not willing to pay, if they get desperate enough they will drop the price. If you want it bad enough then you will pay the asking price

I completely agree with you - I was about to buy my friend's '00 CW ITR w/ JDM front a few years ago as he decided to move back to HK. He was asking $9000 from me - a steal of a deal for only 140k km on the odometer. That all went up in smoke when someone rear ended him as he was driving home one night and the car got totaled. (He was fine, but quite upset about it even to this day.)

Ever since then, I had hell of a time finding a LHD one in general. They're either out of my budget or had some ridiculous mods in them. But to be fair, it is what it is and it's simply a demand/supply game.

Good luck with finding one. They do exist, just needs patience.

Bone stock ITR's are very sought after and people will pay that kind of money for one.

Haha, unrealistic? Try supply and demand. These cars have now moved into collector status and everyone in the market knows it. Yes, prices are crazy nowadays but it is what it is. Our weak dollar isn't helping either.

This looks nice and reasonably priced: LHD USDM Acura Integra Type R w/ JDM Front End (http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/van/cto/5288837332.html)

I trust this is the ad you are referring to: Integra Type R (http://vancouver.craigslist.ca/van/cto/5248486992.html)

Ad for the ITR for $17500, I would have to call bullshit on the "valve adjustment on every oil change".

Unless the owner is doing all his own work and is anal about every detail of the car, this is a blatant lie. Not to mention, if the car is maintained and not beat to death it will not require a valve adjustment for a very long time.

Go buy a base Integra and mod it then. Clean ones are getting harder and harder to find. especially ones that have less than 200k. I don't think there will be any reason for prices to go down. Considering people ask $6000 for a Miata I feel the price is fair. lhd>rhd. You just don't have to deal with driving on the other side.

13.5k for a 200k without original front end, lol
18k for a US import, LAWL

OP has his frustrations misguided but so far the examples posted kind of validates his point

If i see a unmolested 97/99/01 then I can understand the pay-to-play price tag, but if a high milage 98/00 is listed well over $10K...fuck that, you're better off with a JDM import if it's not gonna be your daily.

and if you daily one then get ready to lose a ton of sleep over theft paranoia

to be honest the ITR will surpass the s2k value as time moves on. Limited production run is one of the many reasons. As time goes by the ITR will be similar to the E30 M3. A true driving experience you wont get from modern cars.

I would like a clean LHD all original ITR for 9-12k but it ain't gonna happen. That ship sailed a few years ago.

If you plan to mod and drive the car you may consider higher mileage or a car with an accident to get your foot in the door. Just get a full inspection, maintain and enjoy.

For anyone not paying attention, desirable manual (esp 6spd)cars that provide a fun driving experience have been going up in value. As mentioned in other threads, E30 Edit: E36 E46 M3 E39 M5, S2000, NSX, ITR, air cooled 911, GT2, GT3 have all gone up in value over the past few years. Likely a combination of demographics (the generation who drooled over these cars can finally afford them), USD exchange, and the cars coming to market that do not provide the same fun and driver feedback. (There are some exceptions such as BRZ/FR-S/86, Cayman, Miata etc)

^That ITR originally belonged to Ben a few years ago. He rebuilt the motor and drove it for a bit until it was then sold to another local. After that, the car was wrapped matte green until it was then sold to the current owner.

Side note, that's my old spoon hood lol.

In regards to the ITR price going up, there's just nothing you can do about it. It's all about supply and demand right now. The demand is certainly there, if not more than a few years ago and the sellers know it. Give it five more years and we'll be saying that $16k for a ITR is cheap.

You spelled e36 wrong.
E46s are surprisingly (other than the absolute pinnacle of them like 06 interlagos ZCP and the like) still dropping for the average model all over the states. Its just that our dollar being so fucked has masked it to seeming like e46s are flat or rising. All over U.S. the e46s are massive bargains.
Good e36 m3s are climbing to overlap and eclipse some of the more mediocre e46s.

You think it's unreasonably priced? They think it's unreasonably rare and value it's rarity. Are you seriously knocking on ITRs? Those cars were incredibly rare even when they were brand new and it's something that simply cannot be reproduced today even if Honda wanted to.

How about those Corolla SR5 owners who want $5000 for an '85?

I missed E36 M3! Crazy I did not know that about the E46 M3 pricing. I'm learning that Amercians are not buying that many cars up here but Canadian sellers know that buying a US car is now cost prohibitive.

Btw just saw an all original white E36 M3 4 door today in Vic. I rarely see a 2 door let alone a 4 door.

westopher
11-04-2015, 04:00 PM
Yeah people are going ballistic in the states on the forums because their 100k e46s are selling for the same price as e36s. Its because the market is so full though. Once stancebros and broke kids thrash all of them like they did the e36s, the market will climb back up again when all the models on the market are the extremes. There will be loads of shitbagged borderline scrap cars, and a handful of garage queens asking crazy money. The nice ones that aren't over the top will slowly creep up as more die off.
Also, cool that you saw a nice e36 m3 sedan. They are hard to come by and such a great looking car in stock form. I wish mine was a sedan at times.

You should probably be able to figure out the answers from the thread, but if not.....
A)Lots of people would pay it.
B)15k would be a great deal. 15k isn't shit in the grand scheme of things.
C)Yes, all exciting cars of the 80s and 90s have gone up that much in the past years.

All the ITR are rare, but the one that will yield the most rare is the first 1997 ITR. There was one that fetched 40K USD on ebay a while back. I am guessing there is probably no 1997 ITR left that is stock and low clicks.

^^there are a few. A lot of ITR owners that have had theirs for a long time aren't really active on any forums or social media so on one knows that they are even in existence. I feel that I have been privileged enough to know of a few unicorns just sitting. I hope I am lucky enough to be in the right financial position to acquire one(or more) when their time comes to part.

Pretty much engine and trans are in need of a rebuild. Maintaining an R isn't cheap.

I always question the people who are obsessed with the ITR as to if they've ever actually driven a "Fast" car lol

i had an EK hatch with a B18C5 in it for a weekend, after that weekend i was litterally loling at the holy grail which is the ITR.. literally 20 minutes into driving this car i was like "lol..this is it?"

you can go on about the actual ITR's performance value etc. but this Hatch had the full drive train, 5 lug conversion, bit of a mod list, and the thing was a joke as far as i'm concerned

Yes, many. Have an EVO, had an STi, driven MkIV Supra's and owned a MkIII, 300ZX TT, Turbo E36 M3, a few AMG's lately, plenty of muscle cars, etc. When all you have is speed it gets boring.

It really is a complete package. An EK with full ITR stuff is no ITR. The DC2R body itself is stiffer and everything is built around that. It's not the best by any means but as a complete package(handling, acceleration, value, reliability, etc) it's pretty unbeatable, even by today's standard.

Like jasonturbo said, it's not just a car, it's a lifestyle.

As mentioned in the ad, seller is using "10w40" oil when recommended is 5w30.
"Trans grinds in 4th and 5th gear".
Pretty much engine and trans are in need of a rebuild. Maintaining an R isn't cheap.

You're looking at 4+k for an engine rebuild and another $1500 for the trans.
Perfect example of why to pay up front for the best car you can.
The cost of entry is the cheapest part of owning a sports car that was your dream car over half your life ago.

I always question the people who are obsessed with the ITR as to if they've ever actually driven a "Fast" car lol

i had an EK hatch with a B18C5 in it for a weekend, after that weekend i was litterally loling at the holy grail which is the ITR.. literally 20 minutes into driving this car i was like "lol..this is it?"

you can go on about the actual ITR's performance value etc. but this Hatch had the full drive train, 5 lug conversion, bit of a mod list, and the thing was a joke as far as i'm concerned


The ITR isn’t a “fast” car by any means, but it’s got plenty of power for having fun. You can get a faster car for the money, but the Type R just isn’t about that. I feel you don’t need a fast car to get the thrill, it handles great, and revving it out is addicting. Sure there are cars nowadays that will beat it, but at the time it broke many barriers and set a new benchmark for fwd cars. Just driving it around the back roads is intoxicating, can’t wait to take mine to the track.

I had a 1990lb B18C-R swapped EG with a racing oriented mod list and while it was fast, it never had the "magic" that my friend's stock ITR did. The ITR is a fine car for the street but it's never going to impress on the highway or stoplight to stoplight - it's only when you have the opportunity to put it through its paces that it will show why so many people covet it.

I find that average Joes are easily impressed with a 335i that can put you in your seat in 2nd gear between lights, but real car guys go crazy for cars like an NA Miata, an E36 BMW, or perhaps even an S2000. These are cars that have to be driven to impress, but when you do, and even more so if you have some experience, they change peoples' minds about what a "good" car feels like.

Part of the magic is the racing heritage and provanace. It represents the pinicle of everything Honda did right in the 80's to 90's from F1 dominance with aryton senna, to the NSX which was revolutionary at the time. It dominated world challenge touring car from 97-98-00-01

You either get it or you don't. There are tons of cars I think are shitty but there special to certain people.

My E36 before the V8 swap was a car that I consider to be very similar in spirit to an ITR - it's a capable and quick car that is only average when you consider the specs but somehow when pushed hard seems more than the sum of its parts.

After the V8 swap (video above) the car was technically much faster but was much less enjoyable to drive. I feel the same way about something like a Focus ST vs the ITR, I'd rather drive the ITR on the track or twisties most any day.

These are cars that have to be driven to impress

This is really where the magic comes to life. I had owned mine for 2 years before I did my first track day. I had thought I had taken it to the limit until a professional driving instructor took me around the track a few times on my first day. Well fuck me dry and call me dusty; I was in awe at what I had just experienced. The way chassis behaves at the absolute limit is what's truly astounding. The overall balance of the car and confidence it offers when driving 9/10's will still rival cars of today. Same can be said for when you're driving 1/10; the ultimate trackable yet convenient daily that satisfies both tasks to the letter. Awesome completely stock or completely built. The racing pedigree and development. The reaction from the aftermarket industry and fans alike. There's just so much to be excited about.

If it isn't obvious yet, I'm a complete fan boi and have loved everything about these fine machines since their introduction to the US market in '96(97MY). Like super fan nerd kind. But I'm also a realistic consumer and believe me when I say, if there was something better, I'd be owing that shit right now. There are "other" cars to have with their own accolades but I couldn't bring myself to own any of them if I didn't have an ITR as well.

My Focus ST is way faster than my 86, and it's turbo. But my 86 just puts the biggest of smiles on my face when I drive it. Whereas the Focus is just "meh" when compared against it.

Not many OG ITR owners on RS anymore. Early 2000s when we had ITR meets annually in Vancouver, and in the states ITR EXPO just started to become a yearly thing as well. I think they are doing expo 16 now. Fellow OG ITR owners will prob know what I am talking about.

One thing I did learn though. Once you go K, you never look back.
I would keep the GSR motor in that car and run it as is or sell the motor and drop in a K20 with a 6spd tranny.

Very true. Most ITR owners that I knew in the beginning have now moved onto other chassis or got outta the game altogether. There are only a few of us OG's left and some that are just not active on forums anymore. The Vancouver ITR meet that E40-six put on for us was always a great time but alas, it ended about 5 years ago.

I went to ITR Expo 8 and 9 and met a shit ton of peeps from all over. It was really an eye opener showing me the different kinds of people that love this chassis. Most of them I would consider lifetime friends now.

Matt's website that e.lo! posted is definitely a nucleus for all things ITR including production number and market differences. A great resource for all.

I emailed this guy.
He's owned the car for a year and has no idea how or why the car is rebuilt and has a GSR motor.
If we are lucky, it is a theft recovery where the thieves stole the motor and or interior when the car was newish.

Ahhh, my very first meet. Norman's Type R(1st one) was out of this world back then. Crazy turbo, Built motor, Cusco cage, the whole nine. He still had it a few years ago but not sure now. He's owned sine new.

Dylan(2nd pic) got me into tracking. Loved the hacked up bumper for better airflow to the oil cooler. He was turbo as well. Sold it and moved onto an E36 M3.

Here's a few from the following year I believe.

well the whole story with that ITR in the superstreet mag... ask around.
I've long kept my mouth quiet over the boards. maybe some of you saw shots fired on IG though haha. it involved domkouki of NO RUSH, stickydiljoe... couple others

meanwhile, don't want to make this thread make jasonturbo too happy with the hating.

Ahhh, my very first meet. Norman's Type R(1st one) was out of this world back then. Crazy turbo, Built motor, Cusco cage, the whole nine. He still had it a few years ago but not sure now. He's owned sine new.

Dylan(2nd pic) got me into tracking. Loved the hacked up bumper for better airflow to the oil cooler. He was turbo as well. Sold it and moved onto an E36 M3.

Here's a few from the following year I believe.

Yup Norman still has it. The turbo and some stuff has been changed since that meet in 2004. He had a GTR then sold it after a year or so.

Werd up , I'd consider myself a purist and the best way to experience them is close to stock, the way Honda designed it.

On another note, It pain me to see non R's running R running gear and parts. An authentic R is forever gone. There must be no more R's left in Japan, look at all the shops in the states selling r swaps and 5 lugs like Hmotors... Just brutal. I don't know of another car in history that's been canabalized so hard.

And another note , I do have a problem with fake R's or imitation R's with R badging. I feel it cheapens the brand , it's no different then girls rocking fake handbags.

milano red ITR are :jizz::jizz::jizz::jizz::jizz:

Absolutely! My plan before the exchange took a dump was to import a legit LHD Milano Red ITR from Europe somewhere. US spec front end and left hand drive are a match made in heaven for a car not available in North America. There are plenty of countries that offered it and one guy on H-T from Macedonia that I've been bugging for like 3 years. Ha! But alas, our dollar is brutal and I'm not down for a $25K ITR that I will still need to tinker with.

Loi from Loispec is current building a Milano Red ITR from a PY shell. Pretty amazing work and attention to detail. I have no doubt that it will be top quality once completed. Perhaps e.lo! knows more than I as he is pretty tight with them.

Basically, the guy is now asking for $26K cdn for his 99% stock 01 ITR with the CDM red interior.
Car has 14X,XXX kms.
Only mod is a JDM ITR steering wheel, but he still has the stock.
Only catch is, you have to take the 91 EF civic as well.
Si Civic hatch with B18C1 motor I believe.
Wire tuck, side markers.
ST front and rear sway bar, Beaks rear lower bar with I can only assume is Beaks rear lower control arms.
Gutted interior, still has carpet I believe.
F1Spec rep driver seat with Tanaka harness.
Doesn't look to be any rust in the rear.

This was the same car that JGresh posted about last year in the good buys thread.

That's not a terrible deal. Hard to peg the CDN ITR market though. Are ITR buyers in Canada paying exchange rate adjusted prices for ITR's? Say it's worth $20K CAD. That's less than $15K USD. Champ White and red interior aside you couldn't duplicate this car in the US market for that price. Clean title, 90K mile, bone stock? No way. Seller would be asking like $18K USD.

And the EF worth $6K? Most likely not. But if it's rust free, it's not a bad platform to fuck with a little bit. I love EF's and white cars so it's almost a pot-sweetener for me.

Anyone want a 2006 Evo IX GSR? :dead:

No harm in asking. If someone's willing to pay it then hooray for capitalism. Haha, he probably did see my post then thought "whoa, I forgot about the exchange rate". Then starts advertising in the US. It's smart, no lie. Importation to the US is bitch though. Some US ITR guys have said the importation eats up the 30% buying power they have over us now so it's not really worth it for them to shop north of the border. State laws are the pain apparently. I don't know much about it though other than what was mentioned to me.

Having said that, it might be why the CDN market is not a direct reflection of what is going on in the US.

If it means anything to anyone, when I bought my 2001 ITR w/ <70k KM there was already an American buyer committed at asking price, the only reason it wasn't a done deal was because the American didn't fully understand the import process and was having a hard time getting a recall clearance letter from Acura because he didn't own the car. He ended up buying a 2001 FBP with 35000 miles for 20K USD from New York, and then paid 2K for enclosed transport.

IIRC I paid 19K CAD, I'm confident I could get 20K USD for it *If* it had the USDM front. Being that my car is converted to JDM front not sure how that would impact the value to certain high end buyers. I also don't have the CDM red fronts, just the rears with JDM front recaros... that could also prove to be an issue. Having said all that, don't really care very much what it is worth to anyone else so meh... if anything I would probably shed that car in a trade scenario.

IMO 20K USD+ is the new going rate for clean low mile ITR's.

I will also say it's very possible the ITR is just another member of the "everything is a collector car in 2015" bubble.

IMO the current car market will eventually soften up significantly, with the current American economy being quite robust people are moving excess cash into less attractive asset categories. Simply put, people are spending more for silly toys they don't need, when the economy starts to falter, there will be a flood of these assets into the market. I predict the E46 M3 will be amongst the hardest hit.

I have been reading and pondering why sellers are asking for USD money in Canada.
Americans can save money by purchasing a Canadian car but it requires work (time), 2.5% duty on most cars, transportation, etc. Americans normally don't need to import as there is so much more choice of cars in the US. Unless the car is special (like a GT3), or there is a significant savings they simply won't bother.

Smart speciality dealers know this and import the cars to the US before selling them (example Silver Arrow Motors in Victoria).

I figure sellers are listing special cars in USD simply because Canadian buyers will have to pay a lot more if they want to import from the US. Essentially the competition is priced much higher so why not raise your price as well since there are no other options for buyers? Whether or not a Canadian buyer will pull the trigger or wait on the sidelines for the next economic crisis is another story.

The 10K mile '97 that sold on eGhey for $41,xxxUSD. It is believed that the car was purchased by a US Acura dealer for showroom status. So that's the current benchmark. All ITR sellers are now basing their price off that one and adjusting for condition. Another 56K mile '97 sold shortly after for $26K USD. It sold within a day in Cali.
