Project car

I've always wanted to build a project car for track (when I have more $$$) and I would probably build mine like this...














But when some people don't know what they're doing..it'll end up like these pile of junk.

I can't justify an ITR for a track car, too nice. That black JDM swapped one is very nice, except the wing

I may start on a project car in the future as well. I still have my 98 Integra LS, but its currently an automatic and 188,000 miles, so I was thinking that I may wait a little longer and then change it to a manual and then start having some fun with it.

An ITR would be an awesome track car. Still, I think my ideal track car would be RWD.

I know someone who is selling their RTR prep'd Integra here in Ohio. Here is a picture of it. He raced it in the SCCA Speed World Challenge in 02-03 I believe.

Well, not only, LOL. It does have a lot of miles for a 98, but my parent's bought it new in 98 and then drove it everywhere before giving it to me. Then I drove it back and forth to DC for close to 2 years. Its now my Dad's daily driver when he's home.

Thanks for the complement! I definitely thought it thru before purchasing everything for my car and I absolutely love the results. I still have to put my trunk lip spoiler on sometime soon and that'll be it for looks this year.

I'm thinking a awesome track car is one that can be visually damaged. I would cry if my ITR dinged a fender, rubbed bumpers or worse

Same here for me, if I was going to 'build' a track car i'd rather go with RWD platform. Maybe '98 IS with a blueprinted 3sGE swaps. Or maybe a MR-S with JDM 3sGE swaps. Yeah, it'll be JDM Elise. hahaha

That's a Mugen wing... so I think the JDM bug got the best of him. It hurts to see all those ITR's all wrecked up.

I personally have a supercharged (9psi) SSM '99 Integra with all the bolt-ons and Bomex kit. I'm planning on getting a TODA race spec B18C (280WHP) sometime after I get my CBR600RR/F4i. That will be my weekend warrior for the tracks. I'll have my SCCA lisence by then...

you know gold te37s are really hard to come by right?



oh well, i agree, CW ITR w/ jdm front w/ gold te37's would be hot.

The first one is a dedicated track car, the rest look pretty well stock aside from the damage.
