I can offer background information and can reach out to two of the previous owners, Asahi and JourneyTypeR.

From memory,
Asahi mods:
-FD swap, later traded OG transmission for stock FD
-Comptech header -> Toda header
-HIDs
-Hondata S200

-JourneyTypeR began sourcing an ITR the summer of ~'06 or '07, I assisted
-I located Asahi's FS, helped with the transaction via driving JourneyTypeR to Asahi for test drive and later, for the transaction
Location: Chattanooga, TN -> Woodbury, TN
Fun fact: The original 98' lip went on my GS-R (at the time) and the original bumper is still on 98-1040 today
JourneyTypeR mods:
-Kosei K1's
-Autopower rollbar
-Tein suspension
-Red Recaro Pole Position seats (later traded to heeltouge)
-Spoon N1 catback
-Takata harnesses
-JDM SRS steering wheel
Accident: Deer ran into car, damaging fender, door, and
-JourneyTypeR owned the car for ~4-5x years until selling it to a guy (I can't remember his SN, began with M)
Location: Woodbury, TN -> Chattanooga

-Owner blew the motor, rebuilt with a bad crank, blew motor again,
-After ~1-2yrs ownership, sold to James @ IPG

-James @ IPG owned the car a few years, tracked, and eventually sold
James mods:
-Rebuilt engine (OE?)
-Spoon calipers
