[Xzbit]

The b*stards here just key and scratch your car!!!!! A**ES!!!! (Sorry still venting from the other day)

Not too many are stolen, Also breaking windows to steal bits and pieces in your car!!!

We are pretty lucky here, if you read honda-tech.com you hear freaky stories like people tailing itr owners home.

People parking their cars outside their house and then its gone the next day. Cars with gps/kill switches, yet the thieves still get away with the car etc etc

So compared to that i would say Australia is pretty safe when it comes to owning a type r

Such a vigilant defender

I know 1 ITR that was stolen. Ashley's Red DC2R. He was a Bel Garage customer.

Btw have you guys noticed... DC5R's are made for fat people. Their seats are much wider, and the car itself is fat... compared to the DC2R! hehehe... all makes sence now .

[Jingers]

we also noticed dc5r looks better, so can we comprimise and say that fat people with good taste drives them?

Hmm i sense a DC2 VS DC5 battle coming lol

[Ljubo (LJ)]

My friends DC5R got stolen few months ago, he also had R33 Skyline in same garage but they new what's better

[VTECMACHINE]

hehehe niceeee!!!

Nah i'm not a DC5 hater. I prefer DC2's over DC5's. Jap spec in both would be a larrggeee difference tho. Oz spec DC5 is weak man. Still love them tho!! Was just saying they are for fat people, since we were talking about seats.

P.S: DC2 FTW! hehehe

[Howie]

Yeah OZ DC5 is a bit weak, but still faster than OZ DC2 around Oran Park.

[hebe]

Please stop the DC2 v DC5 discussion...we're discussing about are ITRs being stolen a lot or not!!

[VTECMACHINE]

ok whoopse... dc2 vs dc5 discussion ended.

Back on topic... I honestly haven't heard of many ITR's getting stolen as a whole. But have heard close to 30 cases of Seats going missing... some cases steering wheels, and then sound systems etc...

I'd have to think this reason is because DC2R's were limited to 500 units, and ?were DC5R's limited too? Either way... there's not a great deal of them around oz... so if one gets stolen, I reakon it would be much easier to locate than other cars.

Just a question were ITR's in the USA limited?

[chikai]

hey folks....

firstly...apologize for posting in the wrong section. And I think I posted twice thinking the first one didn't get through...but it was only moved. opps...

ITRs in the states are limited, but the problem is there are more civic hatch and coupe owners that are after the ITR engines. It's sad to see so many DC2R bodies with no engines. My friend has a 1999 ITR and he had a thieve cut a hole through the next door neighbor's garage to get into his to steal his car. ITR thefts are BAD in the US.

Anyhow, thanks for the replies. Hopefully if I find a garage soon, I may too join you ITR owners soon.

Well I had my seats stolen 6 months ago... took me another 4 months to get a decent pair of seats back into the car again.

[VTECMACHINE]

Howie that's crappp!!!! I am always so scared that my seats will go missing. can you buy DC2 seats new now? Does insurance replace them with new recaro's?

[R123]

dc2R limited to 500?? ok,,, DC5R limited to....hehehehe

i always wana ask this question, does anyone know how many DC5R are sold on our land?? 1000?
