don't listen to anyone on here. If you want the car, go and get it. Why are you trying to conform to what everyone else says. Be your own boss and do what makes YOU happy.

i know, but i know there are a handful of people who know what theyre talking about and they talk from experience. i just wanted some input and learn whether i should be concerned about existing issues or whatever. im not in here for approval

well if you want experience you should have said so. I had 01 black ITR and 3 GSRs 98, 00, and 01. ITR is completely different class and handles completely different then the GSR. Even my turboed GSR didn't feel like ITR. If you are into twisties and like a great handling, reliable car, ITR is for you.

the Type R? definately. Like somebody said, it is an Integra...but a very fun Integra that a GSR does not compare to.


pf course..this is IMO.

I didn't even think of an AP, because of the convertibleness, but heck, I'd rather that than any Integra.

try to talk them down if ur really serious about it, and see if you can find some history (previous owners). im sure you won't regret it, but it'd be a better buy if u got it cheaper.

look inside the engine compartment and see if there are any noticable leaks or wear/tear. (as well as the exhaust, make sure its not burning oil) a lot of ITR's have been beaten, and you dont want a tired B18C motor. best thing to do is to test drive it...and try to drive it hard and look for signs of any problems.

hopefully it is one that has been babied for 50k miles

Agreed...and I don't like Z's that much either.
