Posting this for a fellow member on nasioc.com which I am also a member of:

"My car was stolen last night from the street in front of my house. It's a 2001 Acura Integra Type-R with 97k miles on it. I've had the car for about 3 years and loved it to death; some of you have seen the car at numerous auto-x around Chicago and Milwaukee. My brother and I have had 2 full seasons between SCCA-Chicago, SCCA-Milwaukee, TSSCC and other misc. clubs. Car had two SCCA DS National Championships under its belt.
We planned on retiring it from chasing cones duty this year, but not like this

2001 Acura Integra Type-R
- black
- 97k miles,
- front seat have a 1-3" tear in them each,
- rear seats should be pretty fade free (i had a cloth on them since I bought the car to help keep them clean from all junk that gets on auto-x tires etc),
- right front blinker is cracked and has some small holes drilled at the bottom of it to help drain water (ghetto, I know, but never had the money to replace it with a new one),
- right headlight slightly faded from age (replaced after a remote start incident of '05),
- there's a dent in the rocker panel behind the left front wheel - it's pretty large for that spot and very unique (not sure how the previous owner managed to make it since the paint wasn't damaged),
- the hood has some small hail damage (stupid hail!),
- there's a rock chip on the windshield - lower part of it, about center of the windshield (the window was replaced at some point and has a tint strip maybe 3" tall up top by the rear view mirror),
- car was on black steelies with winter tires on them, no hub caps,
- no ITR stickers on the body,
- red Acura emblems were replaced with black ones,
- stock wing on the back,
- left rear quarter panel was repainted after I was T-boned by an uninsured idiot who run a red light 2 years ago a month before Nationals,

If anyone has any info on "hot" ITR parts or general knowledge of my car, please feel free to post here, PM me or send me an e-mail at bartekb93 AT yahoo DOT com. I'm not holding my breath on finding it sound and safe (usually a shell is all that's left 24-36 hours after one is stolen), but any help is appreciated."

If anyone knows of this car or parts relating to it feel free to contact the owner, Bart, or myself.

Thanks,
Nirmit

Sorrie 2 heard that yo, i'll never leave a ITR on any street over-nite!

NARFALICIOUS · 03-26-2008, 11:49 PM

does it look like that picture with the sponsors all over it?

otherwise there's no other way of telling it from the other tegs if there are no Type R logos

You'll notice a ITR from a regular Dc2 when you know what to look for...Front Lip, no sun-roof, etc.

oldskoolsi · 03-27-2008, 12:40 AM

What part of the city? And I'm sorry to hear of your loss bro...you know Hondas and Acuras are a very hot commodity around here. I'm sorry to say that it's prolly already chopped up =( This is a very sad day in the Honda/Acura community and my antenna on my EM1 and EF9 will be at half staff for you.

geeserteg · 03-30-2008, 09:38 AM

Sorry to here this! As a fellow Integra owner I feel for you.

oldskoolsi · 03-30-2008, 01:34 PM

Any updates on this??

geffsi111 · 03-30-2008, 01:44 PM

sorry to hear that...i'll be keeping my eyes on it...hope you'll recover it...dayum thieves!!!

shukes24 · 03-30-2008, 06:57 PM

no updates from the owner

***just a clarification...car was not mine just posting here to get the word out for the owner***

Wallyk20 · 03-30-2008, 09:00 PM

As far as I know Bart's car is still MIA. I'll see him next weekend at the SCCA Chicago Region Learning Curve, but I'm pretty sure that it's not expected to be recovered. Those are chopped for parts pretty quickly once they're stolen. Really sucks too, Bart and his brother Hubert are really nice guys.

No. Those are all magnets. It looks like a plain black Integra with 5 lug rims.

I read somewhere that those cars are WAY too easy to steal. I'm REALLY sorry about that OP. LoJack FTMFW.
