stolen pieces or not, he must have spent alot on making his car look like this:

the paint job cost him 1500 so it definately was not a crappy job

I don't want to say anything but everything is type-r swapped...

 

I wonder if anyone can get the number off of his plaque?

 

He probably spent a lot, but I'm sure he got money back for the original GSR motor and all the other parts that were replaced with ITR stuff.

 

Except the engine and proper suspensions...and I wonder why he didn't opt for the C5 when he get his "JDM Spec Engine"

he might have alot of type R parts on it but its still clean no?

 

I thought the C5 designation doesn't exist in Japan.

 

he probably got a HOT deal on that engine...

 

do what he wants but still.....not a Type R

 

as far as I see, there is no ITR motor... maybe ITR block, but that is definately a GSR intake manifold and I doubt he modified it to fit his "stolen" ITR head....

....so because he has 5 bolt conversion, floor mats, rear spoiler, front upper strut bar and ITR seats, EVERYTHING is/was stolen??

You can go right now to H-T classifieds and find all of the above from legit reputable guys.....

Give him a break, not once did he call it an ITR... sure it's not one, but it's still a clean looking car....

 

i agree

 

i'd drive it... type r or not. pretty clean to me.

 

whats the big deal ! hybrid owner , we go thru that

 

i dont see a type R manifold like said before itr bottom end , maybe!

 

i wouldn't buy something from someone who can't spell "original" or "suede"

 

shiet. Looks better than a USDM Type-R!

 

looks clean to me but without the motor it is still a wanabe.

 

IMO, anything that wasn't born an R, and is trying to be one, is a wanna be.

Edit: I found this one too today... I wonder if it ever belonged to anyone here... Check out these seats, armrest too

very true, I went to the acura dealer to buy the 5 lug parts for my last car and the red valve cover, not to mention the calipers.

 

....you let the dealer stick it in you?

I'm j/k. How much was the stuff at the dealer?

 

I like how the car is 7 years old and has 128K miles and yet, looks much cleaner than many Rs I've seen
edit: just saw MOOGEN decal...car is PIMP.

Who cares if its not a REAL Type-R. If it LOOKS better and PERFORMS better than the average R, I'd give it a

However, it would be a different story if the Integ had Type-R stickers as all over. That would kill it...

 

I got the 8 ball deal, 8% over cost (employee discount, I don't work there tho) It helps to know people in the business. But still, it was more than buying a used a 5 lug kit, there's nothing like the peace of mind of knowing nothing was bent from wreck in new parts.

 

this guy is asking a lot for the car, which wouldn't go for more than 6k stock, so i think he's trying to make back something, jdm gsr $3500 complete -the stock motor he sold, itr suspension $2000 -the stock suspension and wheels he sold, and the itr interior $1000 -the stock he sold. plus if the car wasn't in bad shape (dings and what not) you can actually get a decent respray for $1500. just because he has a lot of type r parts don't assume there stolen. rodney (www.b18c5.com) on this board has ITR suspension, complete engine swap and interior in his hatch, and yes a lot of parts were from the dealer. poeple do sell legit R parts!! i think the car looks car and prob performs good too. plus no R stickers

 

no lsd, but he doesnt' want much for the car either. wonder if he has side moldings. get rid of the mugen sticker.
