Type R Club of America

Originally Canadian. Now living in the US.

First wash and drive since I bought her (2018/10/13):








Installed JDM ITR steering wheel, Recaro seats, and titanium shift knob (2018/10/27):






Installed the optional side skirts and rear valances! Also installed GC coilovers in like-OEM spec spring rates. She handles great and feels just like stock but slightly lower. (2018/12/22)






Slapped on some CE28Ns I had laying around while still trying to find the wheels I *really* want. She doesn’t look too bad, but a bit dirty. I’m going to store her away for a few months. See you guys in the summer! (2019/1/5)






New wheels! (2019/05/05)








Heart transplant from an '05 ITR. The transmission came with an LSD and a 5.0 FD. Will be dyno'ed / tuned in about a month. (2019/6/6)



As promised, here's a video of the dyno pull. She put down 221 to the wheels on a hot humid day. We think she can do 230 if the conditions were less humid. (2019/7/2)

This wasn't a full pull but I like the shot:

Beautiful example. I miss my JDM front a bit now.

Nice pick up! Seeing these jdm fronts makes me really want to switch my usdm front end.

Very nice.

Congrats! More picture interior pictures. How many miles?

She has 120k miles. So not Barret Jackson grade but that means I can drive her here and there without feeling guilty. The interior and overall condition is immaculate for the mileage. Must have been highway miles, and garaged most of her life. More photos coming soon after I add a few more things to her.

CW is so clean. Congrats.

She sure looks pretty.

Added a few things to the interior (JDM Recaros, steering wheel, titanium shift knob, and EUDM floor mats). My goal was to complete the JDM conversion as much as possible since it was half USDM/half JDM when I bought her. Next, I bought an entire set of CF look interior pieces that the USDM ITRs came with but unfortunately the CDM ITRs didn’t. Will throw those on. Also, I might clean up the engine bay with a few bits (though it’s pretty clean as it is). I also ordered a set of GC/tokico yellows spec’ed to replicate OEM suspension feel as much as possible. After that I might throw a set of aftermarket wheels on her. Other than that, won’t do anything else to her after that. And of course I’m keeping all the OEM parts in a crate for when/if I sell her.
