Besides the red valve cover what noticable things can i look for. Im going to meet this guy who has a salvaged 98 type R he said only some interior stuff and the suspension was stolen but he replaced it all ... the suspension was replaced with gsr suspension.

Anyways when i look under the hood what can i check out too know its a b18c5.. the guy couldnt speak much english so im a little sketched out. Hes selling for 9500 so its a bargain. any tips on what i should do noises....when does vtec engage on the ITR im gonna test drive it. just any helpful hints and tips would be really appreciated i dont want to loose 10 g's here. thank you for your time.

how about the 'b18c5' stamp on the block, for starters.

the block will say b18c5

The i/m should look like the b16's. Block stamp. Make sure the vin matches the chassis.

no doubt, i see quite a few people nowadays saying only parts of interior/wheels were stolen, there should be a vin plate on the front of the tranny right next to the block stamp, a vin on the front of the block behind the header(right above the oil pan)

yep, and look and see if the stamp has been messed with too.

Good info. BTW, why do you have two threads on this? I mean, besides the fact that you want to save $10k.

9500$ for an entire Type R complete?

Who steals an ITR and only takes the suspension and the interior??

Was it at least replaced with ITR parts?
