thought id make a build up. 96 spec ITR. new pics Pg 1 &

By vtec_gloucester
- Thu Dec 20, 2007 4:40 pm #34816 well i have had my ITR about 3 weeks now and im loving it.

most of you will know my last car was an EG SiR2 with a B18c Type R lump under the bonnet... because of this the ITR didnt really feel that fast. dont get me wrong, it still put a smile on my face :D

but what i was impressed with was the chassis! my god, its just amazing! even in standard form... people have told me in the past how good they are compared to civics, etc but i never really new how good they are til i gave mine abit of a caning :D

anyway, i paid 4.5k for mine with 1 years MOT, 6 months tax, fresh import and with all of 59k on the clock.

drove very well, no problems at all.

anyway, heres a pic of it how it stands at the moment.

Image

it was 100% stock when i got it which is what i wanted... a blank canvous to paint on so to speak.


first thing i did was a full service and replaced the clutch, flywheel and thermo stat.
soooo....

- engine oil
- gearbox oil
- HAMP oil filter
- Spoon Sports spark plugs
- Spoon Sports drop in filter
- Spoon Sports 4.2kg flywheel
- Spoon Sports organic clutch plate
- Spoon Sports clutch cover
- Spoon Sports release bearing
- Spoon Sports rad cap
- Spoon Sports rear window sticker
- Spoon Sports 4-2 section manifold (had one lying around the work shop)
- Spoon Sports low temp thero stat

had a look under the car while it was in the air and noticed the rear trailing arm bushes are worn quite bad so they will be replaced very soon! prob after x-mas now because im skint.

so, when i had my lil B18c powered civic i was all about engine mods and going fast... now this project i want to go fast but mostly around corners. lol

so engine wise i am happy with performance if the ITR (for now. lol)

so first off im concentrating on suspension, chassis and light weight mods.

thats all for now, when im board again i might list up everything that i want to do with the Teg... the missus says i aint aloud doing anything until after we have bought our first house which is about 6 months away yet :? but what she dont know wont hurt her. lol

i'll post up some better pics soon aswell when ive had chance to give the car a "Gunn79" style cleaning. lol

- Mon Dec 31, 2007 9:48 am #35818 thought id post an up-date:

ive just ordered some lowering springs. cant afford the TEIN Super Street at the moment but i need to get the car lowered! tegs look quite low standard compared to civics but these -60mm springs will get it on its ass quite nicley! :thumb:

i will also be raising the bonnet and taking the spoiler off to see what she looks like.

oh, and i am stripping the rear out... not everything but enough to save abit of weight and so that the car is still a comfortable drive! as i do 50 miles a day to a from work!


oh, lol... last thing! 4 new tyres! Toyo Proxis T1-R's. got them for a very good price and ive heard nothing but good things about them! ive opted for the wider, lower tyre aswell. 205-50-15 rather than the 195-55-15 they put on them standard.

should look alot better this time next week. :)

fitted the new tyres on friday... no comment on them yet because the weather is SHIT here and i havent been able to wear them in at all to try them out.

also fitted the lowering springs today.

the car sits alot better now, i know the springs prob dont do anything for the handling but i just want a nice looking car. lol

as soon as i can afford some coilys they will be on... dont you worry about that.

i'll be giving the car abit of a clean tomorrow to get all the UK road shit and salt off so i will snap a few pics.



next up is stripping the rear and maybe de-spoiler it.

i also need to sort out a small leak in my boot, theres abit of surface rust coming! ffs.
