hmmm...I wonder if it is actually real. Look at the location of the Type R emblem on the side. Looks to be a lot lower then the factory setting of the decal. Just an observation.

It is lower, however, look at the front brakes and how much bigger it is than the back. That person, if the car was fake, would have to add larger brakes, black headlights, lip, and wing.

Wipers go the opposite way, so it should be RHD, if u look closely by pressing your face flat against the monitor, between the wheel and fender you can make out the words Hype-R on the stroked 5 cylinder (must of had an extra cylinder to bolt on - most cost effective bolt on)

But i'd doubt it's fake, China doesn't have body shops good enough to do door moldings like that

From the looks of it, It looks to be a 96-97 spec.

1.) Smaller Gsr spec brakes (possibly 4x114)

2.) 94-97 Style Rear bumper

To add to this, I don't think the integras over there came with side door moldings....maybe they did, but if its actual JDM....it shouldn't have come with side door moldings whether its an R or not...

check out the pics here:

I "concur"

The mis-placed sticker is obvious, but the part that gives it away is the rear wiper ...unless the glass was switched out.



...for an ITR fan thousands of miles away from home; what a sight for sore eyes

yes, they have non itrs there. Its the matter of what "importer" that the owner used to buy their car. From what i had been told from my cousin over... for the most exotic types of cars for example... lambos, ferraris, porsches, gtrs, itrs.. bla bla... you order them from a middleman aka a broker.... then they will find you your car that you want to buy from whatever market its coming from.

For example.. if you want a R, you can get it shipped from japan and get one with the itr front or you can get it ship from australia and have our front ends on it and still have it rhd...

same goes with other cars too... all depends on what middleman you use and what market the car is coming from.

Haha, now that you say something about sticker...

It kind of snuck up on me; I was still a bit groggy from the jet lag. It was nice a cool site to see a nice integra. I haven't seen many of these here. I saw a CW itr the last time I was here.

There are lots of JDM cars. I saw a Mitsu Evo 3 or 4 on the other side of the highway just after I saw this integra. I was in Mongkok shopping for electronics and I got to see lots of nice cars; 991 turbos, lots of different Hondas and Mitsus, a Subaru Forester with VERY loud exhaust, a Mitsu FTO, and a few new VW GTI's. (more pictures to come)

Hong Kong its really cool place, I just have to find more auto related stuff here though. I really want to take one of my weekends off (Saturday afternoon to Monday morning) and head over to Macau and cehck some touring car racing. Hitting the casinos and beachs wouldn't hurt either.

And to asnwer your question about what I do, I am a mechanical engineer for a company that has there products porduced over here. I get to come here and do factory visits and hepl with design and production problems.
