The ITR is quite different in many ways than the other trim level Integras. Much more-so than a Civic SI.
Even so, if someone where to post that they bought an ITR w/ body damage and were going to do K-swap when there isn't anything wrong with the B18C5, I would tell them the same thing. You are buying a much higher theft-rate car with higher insurance costs for a higher price. The only way I could see it a good thing is if the motor was blown, and it was just a shell.
But I am glad you "could."
