Here's a very good rundown of all stuff ITR: http://www.itrsport.com/

some quick things to check when looking at an ITR to purchase:

-Transmission - does it engage smoothly into all gears? Are the syncros working properly, or are the gears grinding? How does the clutch feel? Grinding gears are signs of an abused tranny...

-Engine - is there bluish smoke on startup? This means it is probably burning oil, from the valve seals or the oil control rings on the pistons. Are the compression numbers within factory spec and consistent across all cylinders? Does vtec engage (after the car is properly warmed up) at ~5800 rpms?

-Brakes - Is the pedal firm and do the brakes slow the car linearly?

-Suspension - Are the shocks worn (this is usually an issue with cars that have 50K or more miles on the odometer)? Are there poor quality aftermarket replacement parts installed? Remember - stock ITR suspension is awesome, so try to find one that hasn't been modded poorly.

-Body - Are there obvious signs of a major accident and/or poor repairs? Look for mismatched or misaligned body panels, non-metal body repairs, paint that doesnt match, inconsistent panel gaps, rust, etc... If you find any of these items, be prepared to walk away.

-Interior - What is the condition of the seats? ITR seats are expensive to replace (especially the Recaros)?

Lastly, ITRSPORT has posted a great used ITR guide here:

(click on "Type R Buying guide - EVO")

Good Luck

Oh, and stay the hell away from that ugly ITR with the white leather in the picture above

Keep in mind that there are 3 different types of ITRs
-USDM
-Eurospec
-JDM

USDM and Eurospec looks the same from the outside (4 round headlights), but technically the Eurospec is closer to the JDM spec (flat headlights).

These are a few EuroITR websites:

I think you should bring someone that know Hondas with you to Germany....

if you do this to the german car you are about to buy, the car will say "fick dich" to you.
