It took awhile, but a little plastic surgery ain't such a bad thing afterall... \:D \(\.\)\(\.\)

Thanks again for the comments from those who've already seen pics. Wallet is a little lighter today but it's all worth it. Hope the rest enjoy. \:\)

98-0629 is born again


luckily the rust still ended up being outer metal surface only, still had ok metal to work with from within. so basically the rundown is:

-superb body work done by the recommended shop i got for proper metal/filler/prime/paint/clear with OEM NH-0 of course
-new front and rear re-bars under bumper installed/primed.
-pretty much every bushing on the car is energy suspension
-rims send out for refinishing got the same oem paint as well.
-new Dunlop spec ZIII tires in oem 15" size installed (have Mugen MF10 16" for it as well with 215 tires)
-headlights set out to be refinished
-new Acura oem centre caps and lugnuts installed to finish it off in the later photos.
-all original emblems reinstalled with new type-R stickers (25whp per).
-new wiper arms installed and a few window trims new, and pretty much all new screws/clips/nuts/bolts what-have-you all OEM for putting her back together again
-inner fenders also done in proper undercoat and under trunk area as well (will never been winter driven).
-tints redone
-oem window upper visor accessory still intact
-car is full VIN matching/clean history
-car still has all the best mugen goodies on it that actually DO something
-Titty will give her a better interior clean up soon as well as a nice layer of sealant in about 6 weeks time

Anyone with good DLSR and photoshoot skills that has some free time, wouldn't mind doing a quick weekend day time shoot? Hit me up, thanks!

Which shop did the work?

Did they replace the complete 1/4's with aftermarket panels or did they cut around the rust and replace the spots only?

Looks very nice!

markham auto body (cj fly referral) and he's done some past nice restos on minis and other cars. usually he's just doing regular (insurance) work that keeps them busy these days.

they cut and did new metal by hand. i checked into rear 1/4's and they do not make OEM or aftermarket rears for any 98-01 teg gen (surprising). i did find a set in Cali from JPN but as usual the price was exorbitant. he also said it'd be a waste if my inside metal was rotted (which is was not) to weld the seem to. also wasn't bad enough to need full new rears, so that's good.

Wow looks amazing! Makes me miss my SiR.

Wondering how this car would compare to a BRZ?

Just wondering since it would be crazy to pay 50K no matter what condition.

That's great! The car is meant to be driven, not a garage queen. Sadly there are a fair amount of ITRs that are garage queens which has never seen a track.

Keep driving it!

Brz is more entertaining and engaging in the twisties. Stock seats are much better for performance driving and the immediacy of the turn-in response is much more rapid in the brz—the front end on that car is wicked pointy.

ITR has a much superior drivetrain experience, is easier to drive fast and u can still hang tail with some proper braking (left foot or otherwise). Different animal. More benign and more fierce in the engine department. A lot more drama from the motor. Tons of character there. Brz has the better chassis though.

pretty much... if my BRZ had like a bit more power (and revved to 8k+), it'd be the missing part.

if they take their eyes off their cars for too long they'd get stolen.

Ha thanks for the comparo on the BRZ I bet it would be close race around the track.

The Vtec crossover would be the missing part of the equation I'm sure.

Cool car man as you don't see many of them any more...and it should only go up in value. I miss the old Hondas I might have to test drive an EK SiR and see if it sparks the nostalgia.

stock vs stock, I think the BRZ would be a bit better in the corners...

That's one of the reasons why I haven't modified mine (other than better tires), its so stable/flat in corners/on-ramps.

Yeah RWD and more torque I wouldn't be surprised if it outran it at the track.

Can you upgrade sway bars to further stiffen or is it unnecessary? I have't researched the BRZ much.

for regular street use, I think its more than enough in stock form.

Like, I know its not a good gauge, but given how fast I can take those 270 degreen ramps (410NB to 407WB), vs what I could do on my previous cars (modd'd 240sx, CRX, etc).. its a big difference.

Holy shit that's like 100K CAD - Surprised the SiR's aren't going up in value. It was pretty rare, got stolen more than the type R and was probably 80% of what the type R was...Note I've never driven the type R so I'm magazine racing.

Post the graph dude. I'd love to see how the motor is holding up after 20 years of abuse.

181 whp / 126 lbs-ft. trq (lol)

i took a pic of the graph but it was quick and ended up bring all blurry, i have a printout somewhere i tossed in my basement. nice flat trq curve as usual and vtec x-over down at 5100 rpm where you see the power just climmmbbbb all the way to mid 8k where it levels off (redline 9200rpm) on shell 91 octane....love it.

195k on the motor but it's holding up well, does burn standard honda b18c5 oil levels lol, but nothing bad at all. running 5w-30 motul 8100 xcess. i'm tempted to try out 0w-40 NSX oil tho \:D

That oil is way to thin man! The car is old, you need a little thicker oil no wonder it's burning it off.

I tried every oil under the sun on my old LS motor before i threw in the built turbo LS engine and i swear by castrol sytec 10w30. was the only oil actually left in the damn engine, motul, mobile 1, and whatever else all burned off and dip stick was dry after roughly 2000kms.

Yup! I actually used to just run regular Castrol GTX 10w30. I always felt the car liked it the most, and it stayed in the motor lol Didn't burn or leak past the old gaskets

The Lexus is also under $100 but they clean my mats, quick wipe down of the interior and top up all the fluids, pump up the tires and check for brake wear.

Just took my RDX to Acura.....its just under $100 bucks. They just run the car through a car wash.

Wife was disappointed it wasn't the same service.
