I have owned this R since 2012. I was told the previous owner's father purchased the car new and kept it in the family until I purchased it (Rockville, MD). The car has never been modified beyond some recent suspension components (dampers, camber arms, bushings) because new OEM parts are no longer available. It pains me to sell, but I have no garage space for it. Mechanically, this R is in amazing condition; the engine and transmission alone are worth a lot of money. I am adamant that it goes to an owner who properly restore the body and respect it. I am not in a rush.
Engine and transmission (original, VIN matching) completely rebuilt in the summer of 2021, all OEM parts, meticulously done. All bolts and wear items replaced. List of OEM parts (and some build pictures) included in the link to the zip file below. Machine work was done by Precision Engine Machine Co. and assembly by a motorsports engineer (i.e., myself). OEM overbored pistons so there's no taper or out-of-roundness. Engine and transmission run butter smooth.
Suspension completely rebuilt in the Fall of 2023. Hardrace bushings, front/rear camber kit, Koni yellows, but otherwise kept all OEM. New rear OEM calipers and will include OEM parts to rebuild fronts when needed. Car handles incredibly well and balance is easily adjusted with damper adjustment.
Car needs body work; this is the next stage in the “restoration”. The previous owner was involved in a pile up (front and rear damage) long ago; hood, bumper, radiator support, fenders, inner wheel arch panel (passenger), rear quarter, bumper, hatch, and body panel were all replaced with DOT parts. Welds in some areas were not adequately coated/protected which has led to some rust in the rear quarter panel and in the front right panel near the ABS module. I have cut out the rust, painted edges with Rust Bullet, and sprayed with fluid film for the time being. I have a complete ITR rear left quarter panel that I will include. This work should not be hard for any competent body shop, but it should be done right or not at all.
Spare Parts:
Donor 98 CW ITR Rear Left Quarter
OEM Roof Strips, Windshield Trim, ITR Decals
Denso AC Compressor, Oil, Dryer
OEM Front Brake Pistons, Seals
Storage set of steelies with Michelin winter tires (old)
OEM Center Caps (flaking)
OEM Distributor (crank position sensor is intermittent)
I have many used parts lying around (factory radio, etc.) that I'm glad to include too
