I've owed a NSX, S2000, 300ZXTT, R32 GT-R, '04 Infiniti G35 (heavily upgraded), and an ITR, folks ask me what I would have kept, ITR all the way. I trackday a G35 with upgrades, but in the back of my mind, that ITR will always have my heart for driving dynamics. Though overall driving experience: R32 GT-R, that RB has a song that can't be matched by any Siren!

[@pirotehs]

I bought similar car for similar money ten years ago :) Mine has/had poorly repaired similar damage all over passenger side. But she is mechanically sound and I enjoy every drive. If You run out of build series ideas, do FWD vs RWD series -> build two identical K20 (I can't imagine better engine for this cause) and put them in good FWD and RWD chassis, and then test how much RWD is better really.

[@allantaylor6046]

I paid $6800us with 190km's, JDM 98Spec, here in NZ in 2020. Also mine has a bad paint job but mechanically fine :) I know around 2010 they were selling as low for $1000us here :)

[@Driftmonkey]

@@allantaylor6046 That's a good buy! I got my 96 for $6700 with 238kms in late 2018. Have now spent about 17.5k nzd including the car .... hahaha. NZ has so many Type Rs floating about I'd love to see a Type R meet. EP3's DC5's, EK9s, FK8s, even have a few FK2's here!

“Thank you lord VTEC” for this episode and the beautiful body/paint work done on this classic type R. Amen…

Unbelievable that you’ve gotten this car at that price! It pays to know people! They knocked it out of the park with that restoration! Very excited for what’s to come! Also, super pumped despite the Rogers outage you were able to upload the video today… my Saturday breakfast routine is saved!🥳

Still have my 94 GSR after 21 years.

[@gerry3RS]

Do you guys think an 01 gsr dc2 is worth ten grand? Almost 200k miles but looks to be well taken care of. I’m tempted but 10k for an integra seems like a bad idea.

@@gerry3RS if it had 100k miles and were all original, possibly. 200k miles probably not. And if modified, definitely not.

[@YourUserNameSucksx10]

@@gerry3RS 10k, depends where and mods. I'm in Cali where honds galore so it's hard to find decent ones. 10k? Close to stock where mods can be undone, clean body, maybe. Motors can always be rebuilt for peace of mind for me.

[@RyanMCase]

It surprises me with the level of support and sponsors, quality of content and candidly stage presence you do not have more subscribers. A previous comment highlighted this as well. Many of the "car guys" are simply showing things they pay someone else to do and do not appear to pick-up a wrench. You both have excellent delivery and are natural on your videos. Keep up the good work, great sponsors et al.

[@supra849]

This is a hurt unicorn having a comeback. Good find guys. Cant wait to see more of it.

[@hahaha12345678993]

that paint job initially when i saw it, i thought was a 10k US paint job, to get it at that price is a deal of the century imo

Always a joy to see my favorite KZbin channel upload a new video. Seeing how that paint job came together was just too satisfying. Keep up the amazing content guys!

You can ALWAYS keep an eye out on a fender, this a a car that, sure, it’s a good car for this chapter of the show. But you HAVE to keep this. Find and a fender later and add it. This chassis, tastefully modified as is your taste are, will still simply go up exponentially in value over time. Good find, great to see it saved, looking forward to the episodes to come.

You have to remember this is in Canada not the US. You’d never find this in the US no matter what time it was… a lot of catches here… Canada, crashed, high mileage, owner got an insurance payout already, it’s his friend who has a decent sized channel. Why is this released so late? The prices before covid were running at least half of what they are now normally.

THANK YOU FOR SAVING THIS TYPE R!!! Dave, seriously, thank you for saving this R. These are special cars and they won't make them like this again. I will forever miss my '97 R (with 15,003 miles). It was the only material possession I said I would never sell... but, sometimes life gets in the way of our best laid plans; I sold it a few years ago for the right reasons and it was a win for everyone involved. These cars are meant to be driven. Please take it to the track & autocrosses and share the experience with all of us. Keep up the great work and enjoy the ITR!

[@prashamkarunanithi9064]

It's amazing that you got a JDM icon. I like all your builds and the way you talk with your owners when building the cars for them and following their aim for their cars and upgrading them yet keeping it very streetable and talking about the parts you use for the builds and what they do it's very informative. Definitely appreciate the links the parts used. Don't worry about the number of subscribers. Slow and steady wins the race. Look at Vtuned Garage, Goonzquad, Gears and Gasoline and Chrisfix. These channels just started from regular people with knowledge and growing skills. But now, these channels have grown into one of the most famous automotive channels. Speed Academy your 1 million subscriber plaque is on the horizon. Just keep going and do more builds. Maybe you could build a Honda S2000, Mitsubishi 3000gt Vr4, Nissan GTR, K24 swap a Del sol or civic for people. Also do a video on how to mod and prepare your car for the track and prevent engine damage like oil starvation, improve braking by installing stainless steel lines and stuff like that. Maybe do a rear drum to disc conversion videos for civic owners that would help tremendously. Keep up the awesome work and content you're already there 👍.
