Hello CRXcommunity.com, I'm BannisteR and here is my project car.
I picked her up December of 07 as a stripped shell. The shell was in great shape, no body rot or rust and had paperwork. Hasn't been registered stateside yet. She had doors, dash, carpet, hatch and haggard suspension. Picked up a set of HX wheels to roll her onto the tailor to get home and roll around in the garage. I'm currently stationed in VA and the car is in Cali safe in the garage. I will be getting hot and heavy into the build up of her very shortly as ill be bringing her out to VA so I will have ample time to work on it.
Most current state as of September '10:

Thank you all, This will be a slow thread as far as updates go until I get it to VA when I can get to work on her. I just bought a Full Race half size EF radiator to go along with my Full Race front cross member/ traction bar setup.

Good come up on that rad! I was on the verge of sending the money to CR-X EF8 on nwp for his rad. lol :)b
Yeah, I was watching and contemplating for a little bit but decided to jump on it especially with running the F/R traction bar.

G-Special? Don't have the front seats, If this is a special/ rare pattern I would probably trade someone for a cover that is torn or missing, I will be having them re-upholstered to match the ***** ****** recline-able seats.

And thanks for the complements! The ITR is a very fun car, If you couldn't tell by the few b series parts and ITR ECU, I will be running a USDM B18C5 in the CRX, it will be a stock motor for when I get it registered and inspected. Once she's legal stateside I will tear the car down, send the shell and body panels to paint, a full rebuild of the motor and tranny.

This has become a new favorite site, This and NWP are all I'm on now haha :)b

Love the badgeless US hood! :)b
So you picked the Cusco upper arms? I was wondering who he sold them to.
Yep! Good dude to deal with. He held on to the radiator until this weeks so he could ship the arms out with it.
USDM front is on it so I can get it registered stateside, once it is JDM front will be on. Although your USDM front looks pretty nice... Almost tempting to keep USDM front...

Thank you! Will fit better in there once its mounted and I cut the Carbon fiber bezel to fill in the gaps.
