Default How can you tell if its a b15c5 motor?Buying a used ITR.tjhnx

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.

Good point.

If I was you, since it is such a good deal, I would spend the extra couple dollars to check out the car on carfax. That way you should know for sure.
