ITA Integra. New engine, fast, sorted, all the best parts
I am sad to say that it is time to part with my baby as I have decided to move to Spec Miata. I bought this car at the beginning of the 2010 season from Tom Hoppe and have since campaigned it in CFR mostly. This car has a long and substantial pedigree and is always a front-runner. This car practically guarantees a podium finish in every race with a strong driver. I’m a mediocre driver and I always run top 5 without fail, usually top 3.

I bought the car for $10K originally, and have just spent close to another $10K on the new engine, race build, tranny, FD etc. I am asking $13,500 for the car, which I think is fair, and hope you do too.
UPDATE 1/30/2022 - this car is still gathering dust in my warehouse. Has not been raced since this ad was posted 7 years ago. I need to move and get rid of all my old stuff. Price reduced to $6,500.
The photos show the original color scheme (red/black) and also the current vinyl wrapped “Truth About Drugs” colors. I was planning on pulling the wraps off but figured I’ll wait to hear from any interested parties first.
Let me know if you have any questions. Call or text Grant at 727-366-1246 or email to [email protected].
