ITR, Should I?

I enjoy Integras.
So I was talking to this guy I know, he's been trying to sell his ITR for a while and he was asking if I knew anyone that would want it, I said "trade ya lol" and he actually is interested. Last year he was going to buy my DB when I was trying to sell it. So basically he is willing to straight up trade his '01 ITR for my '99 LS. His needs some little things, but runs fine. Has a 60k JDM B18C swap, the USDM itr motor used to be boosted from the last owner so he swapped it out for a fresh JDM one. I'm thinking about it...

Here's his ad:

This was from 10/2009.. think we went over everything on here already lol... no CF Hood tho, and both fender liners are still missing (just jogged my memory), you can use US ones you just have to modify them alittle, i might even have one still at my parents


NEW PRICE, I NEED THIS GONE
Hey whats up? My name is Seth and I have decided to put my 2001 Integra Type R up for Sale. I purchased the car back in 2005 and it has been an off and on project up until this point in my life. I am lucky enough to have had a Beautiful Baby Daughter and I do not have the time or extra money to get this car back to where I would like it.

I am pretty firm on my price, but don't hesitate to give me your best offer (within reason). The Car has been sitting at my Parent's House for the last 1.5 Years. So a few things have been left unfinished. Below you will see a quick list of Specifications followed by the Pros and Cons of this car. I have done my best to address any issue that I know of, including the unfinished items.

Specs:
Year: 2001
Make: Acura
Model: Integra Type-R
Miles: Less than 83,000
Engine: 4 Cylinder 1.8L Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) Engine
Transmission: Brand New Factory Original Equipment Manufacture (OEM) United States (US) Spec. Transmission w/ Factory Limited Slip Differential (LSD)
Color: New Formula Red (Newer Honda S2000 Red) painted by MOBworks of Southern California (www.mobworks.com) Door Jams, Trunk have also been painted. The engine bay was left OEM Black.

Pros (here you will find some of the parts the car has installed):
-Real Spoon 4 Pot Brake Calipers
-6000K High Intensity Discharge (HID) Low Beam Headlights
-Real Mugen 4-2-1 Gymkhana Header
-Real Mugen Pedals (Gas, Brake, Clutch)
-Samco Sport Red Radiator Hoses (Upper / Lower)
-2.5" Exhaust Piping
-2.5" Test Pipe
-3" Black Injen Cold Air Intake (CAI)
-Real Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) Front End Conversion (Fenders, Bumper, Hood, Headlights, etc)
-VIS Carbon Fiber Hood (will include original OEM Metal Hood which is same color as car)
-Seibon Carbon Fiber Front Lip
-Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) MOMO SRS Steering Wheel (Has Working Airbag)
-Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) Rear Seats (no plastic center section)
-Apex'i N1 Type/Spec V Full Coilovers
-98 Spec Japanese Domestic Market B18C (JDM Integra Type R)
-New OEM Integra Type R Transmission (United States Version)
-New Competition Stage 2 Clutch
-New Competition Street Light Flywheel
-OBD-1 P28 ECU with Mugen Chip
-Clean Title / Carfax

Cons (negatives/flaws about car):
-Both Fender Liners need to be Replaced (They are Torn)
-Front Lip has a Crack (strictly cosmetic)
-Driver's Door has a Crease from backing up on a Tow Dolly
-Engine Burns Oil (around 1.5 quarts every oil change at 3,500) with moderate driving. This could be either the Piston Rings or Valve Seals. Have not done a Compression or Leakdown Test
-Engine has a lumpy idle once the car has been warmed up (idle fluctuates between 1,000 - 1,500 rpms). It is most likely being caused by a Vacuum Leak
-Car has no Catalytic Converter (It will not pass emissions without a Catalytic Converter).
-Test Pipe will need to have a Flange welded on so it can bolt up to the Mugen Header (have not had time to remove test pipe and take it to the shop)
-Car has been converted to be OBD-I in order to run the P28 ECU. (You would need a new OBD-II ECU from a Type R or Civic SI in order to pass emissions)
-The body has a few chips in the paint from Highway Driving (nothing major like the door crease, but you see them when you detail the car haha).
-Airbag Light is on (The car has not been wrecked and it has an airbag installed, but the clock-spring was left unplugged when installing the MOMO SRS Steering Wheel. I was only going to install this for a weekend show, but decided to sell the MOMO Race Steering wheel, EASY FIX).

Well, that is all I can think of at the moment. The car does start and run, it just needs a little TLC / owner who has time to fix the small issues. This car is very Rare and Gets Tons of looks. Take advantage of this great price!

Pricing: $10,500

By the way he said he did a compression test and all is well. He said its been sitting at his parents for a while and he's been looking for a clean 4dr; he wants his R to go to a good owner that can bring it back to its prime...

Do it. I wish it was still USDM front end though. Keep the JDM fronts for the RS, LS, GS and GS-Rs. Keep the Type R's mint.

do what now?
I think you one of the cleanest db on here but the itr looks goodtoo. Just needs some love. If you have the time and moeny trade it. If down the road you want another db you could sell it for a good penny.

This is too strange. Why would he trade? Doesn't make sense to me and his initial price is too high for that many cons.

If you have the money on the side to get this fixed, then do it. If not, it's not worth it to be out your ride and have a junker. Type-R or not.

thank you, at least someone agrees with me that at the very least, the base of the car should be kept pure, seeing as how the more they are stolen and chopped or riced, the less of them there are on the road.

Yepp. He said he honestly hasn't had time for the R and he hates to see it just sit collecting dust. He's wanted a 4dr though and said he figures through me he gets a DB and his R to a nice home. Win Win lol.

And as far as "fixing" it goes, it really doesn't need much. It runs fine, just needs things to pass inspection. I.E. obd2 ecu (99-00 si ecu will work), CFK trick, and some other sensors I think since its a JDM motor. Then throw on a cat and its good.

Needs a driverside fender because he sold his to his buddy since his car was just sitting. I can order a new fender and paint it myself like I did with my DB. He said theres a ding in the door which I honestly can't even see in any pics but he says its there lol. The SRS light I'm sure I can fix. Everything it needs is super minor and I'd gladly fix them to own a JDM front Integra Type R lol. I'm sure I could list it under my parents name for insurance too so it wouldn't be too much.
