Do you guys know why this car didn't sell? Is it a real Type R? It seems real to me and was shocked that it didn't sell. I was thinking about selling my R and getting it instead, does it seem like a good idea?

vin looks fishy to me, bu then again, im not sure if EDM/UKDM/JDM etc. are similar to US vins with the JH4DC2 etc.

but wait, they all have to say DC2 don't they?

hell, i dunno

 

cars in japan have no vins

 

So is it or ?

 

he even says the vin listed is just there as has no relation to the car

i dont see why it wouldnt be legit......... talk to him about it

 

Thanks

You sure about that?

 

Look at his feedback %, even around 95% is kinda shady let alone in the 80s

 

1. Non ITR shift ****
2. it looks like 96 spec, dont think 97 had 4 lug
3. the intake chamber looks a lot smaller than my type r for some reason.
4. all cars come with vin numbers even in japan
5.

I thought 1996 and 1997 JDM ITR's were pretty much identical. 4 lug.

lmao i dont know if that was sarcastic or not. but thats just ignant.

 

the vin isnt legit


he used the vin off a US car and put it on his RHD and made it look like it was legal...

thats what it seems like from his post and it says that the vin is from a diff car

Looks like a legit 96 spec (95.5 - 97) to me.

I purchased my DB8 with a Si-R shift ****, or one similar to the USDM GSR's. That really doesn't mean anything other than you have a good eye. 97 was indeed 4 lug. And the JDM vin's or chassis numbers aren't even close in length to a U.S. vin.

 

Thought champ white was the only color offered in the release years?

 

the vin isnt even from a honda...

no, they offered black, white, silver, and red in 1996 & 1997 in Japan.
