I just stumbled on this question. I think I am the only one racing a B14 SE-R in ITA in the country. I just won the ITA championship for SoPac region. This is the second year that I have raced in ITA. Last year I finished 2nd.
The car is very competitive in ITA. The SE-R has been mis-classed in ITS and getting its ass kicked by the BMWs for a long time. Thanks to Greg Amy and George for lobbying it into ITA
The only thing I hate are the mushy brakes. They do stop the car, but brake feel is horrible. I used to run the NX2000 brakes when I ran the car in the SE-R Cup with NASA, but I had to go back to the stock brakes when I switched to SCCA ITA.
The power of the car is unmatched by any other car in ITA, but the handling is so-so. I kill almost all other cars in the straights, but in the corners I hang on to dear life. My car is putting about 143-144 hp and 132-134 ft-lbs of torque, but I only have intake/header/exhaust. I run a stock ECU with the rev limiter lifted higher. No balancing/blueprinting/overboring.
