Im looking in to picking up this itr but i dont want to get some fake **** can anyone help me

 

Well first is the vin number:

JH4DC231cySnnnnnn

1=Vechile Grade
1=Type R
4=RS
5=LS
6=LS with moonroof
7=GS
8=GS-R

Second if its a 97 or 98 it should be white. 00 or 01 should be PY or Black. Things to look for are 5 lug, b18c5 stamp on the motor, ITR interior. Some of the major things.

 

The car has a sunroof.Dos that make it fake? i didnt know about that code.Thanx

I believe the 96-97 had the optional sunroof.

 

unless someone has cut a hole in the roof and fitted their own sunroof, then yes its fake

Type-R's NEVER came from the factory with a sunroof. makes the car more top-heavy and kind of defies the point of having a Type-R

 

ok im going to look at that code.thanx

 

I have seen a type r or two with a sun roof but its very very very very unlikely. Post some pictures... we'll tell yea.

 

There are a few Type-Rs that had sunroofs installed, I've seen one in person on a '97, and the install looked fine. Looked OEM.

Now the install on my EF... Ewwww... Just make sure it's done right if it is done.

 

Look underneath the vehicle from the back. If it has the tie bar, its most likely an ITR.

This is all that matters. Anything else could have been modified since it left the showroom. If the VIN begins with that^^, then it's a real ITR.

 

^ I got that in the FAQ by the way. canuckr posted it.

thats the easiest way to tell, but someone should post a pic of what the oem r lower rear tie bar looks and mounts,

 

^ That was the Type-SHR models.

 

i think thats just the technical term like dc2, my freinds importing the dc2 type r4 and hes gonna swap a evo motor into it

 

thank all of you but it was fake
