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."

a - 5 lug
b - bigger brakes/calipers
c - faster ratio steering rack
d - chassis reinforcements, some integrated right into the unibody
e - interior - mainly the seating
f - stiffer bushings throughout suspension
g - stock shocks/springs have higher rates
h - sway bar size

probably way more
