Spoon's Integra DC5 loses some hardware from looters in Japan

[webby]

Japan's recent earthquake caused massive destruction in the northern city of Sendai, which happened to be the home of a racing team that ran one of Spoon Sports' DC5 Integra Type-Rs. That car was destroyed, but were its wheels looted?

That's the question many in the JDM tuner community are asking. In the days following the quake, the National Police Agency in Japan worked to quell the rumors of widespread looting near Sendai City, including one particularly virulent claim that a shopping mall had been picked clean, and yet, the agency acknowledged there had been "dozens" of looting incidents. Whether or not looters have been active in the months following Japan's deadliest earthquake and tsunami, it's clear the racing team's Spoon Integra — which was found three miles away from its shop, propped up on blocks — is missing all four wheels.



surprised no one tried to grab other stuff from it

I guess the engine is a loss?

if it wasn't turned on to suck up water, I don't see why it would have to be a loss? Even the suspension goodies, brakes....

Looks to me like you could salvage a good 80% of the goodies!
