I'm BACK!.............(Kinda)

After 6 years away I have purchased another ITR powered vehicle, ITR brakes / 5 lugs, lower control arms......just not an ITR shell...:( It is a very clean 1994 Honda Civic DX with a back half rollbar/cage (no halo).

This car was purchased by a close friend in 2000 and was bone stock when he got it....It had a built B20 VTEC but then life took over and it sat from late 05 - until winter of 2010 when it was sold to another friend of mine. Over the summer the B20 was pulled due to a dropped golden eagle sleeve and and JDM ITR long block was installed. The car has had a total of about 5K miles on it in the last 10 years.

It looks like the car's exterior is in stellar condition. Nice pickup!

Thanks.....I have compared every car I have driven and had to my ITR and I wanted something again that provide the same type of experience on the track....My evo ended up being faster (500hp) but it always felt like it was every bit of the 3400lb that is was. I can not wait for my first event at Gingerman in April in a 2200lb car again.

The car spent the first 6 years of life as a daily driver with a roof rack for a women in New Jersey and then the last 10+ as a garage queen. The exterior is in very good shape, but it does have some dings and paint issues from its DD life...It will get fresh paint on the cage and interior, exterior may get some paint as well.

Thanks again....

Nope, sold the Evo in the fall of 2009....we had a love hate relationship! Got bored in 2010 and build up a CX-7 (AWD Crossover w/a 2.4L T) ..ended up with 360hp, 13.7 in the 1/4, Evo wheels, low 5s 0-60, lowered...ran In the low 1:40s at Gingerman and ran it at Mid-Ohio once...blew up the transfer case and put it back to stock! :)

Thank you, I really like them but I want to run 15s on the car....

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

I know this is not the classifieds but for those that are interested I will be removing the following items from the car or selling items that came with it including:

- RX-7 16" wheels and tires. They are the lightweight "better" RX-7 wheels apparently there where two versions of the same wheel made. They have been stripped and refinished.....

-I have JIC FLT-2 coil-overs for ITRs in the Classifieds here...

-Both seats will be for sale. 1 Sparco Rev for HPDEs only (older date code) and then there is a brand new Corbeu that is larger, (36" waist size) no brackets or bases just seats...

-I have a J&S Safeguard that is about 8 years old....worked fine when removed 7+ years ago. (make offer)

-I will be removing the AEM uego and maybe the AEM oil temp, pressure and water temp gauges...(all new in May 2010)

May also have a AEM intake....I just have to figure out if it is for a ITR or Swapped civic??

Anyway if any of the above items float your boat please IM/PM me here and we can discuss...I will be posting them for sale in the classified here as soon as I remove them from the vehicle..

Thanks,
Matt
