B18C5 motor? If the motor is original to the chassis (JDM-spec) it should read B18C.

Get some pictures up, I'd like to more of your car. What are your dyno numbers?

I would sell those F1 seats. They are not FIA approved, which means they have not undergone proper safety testing. Everything else is looking good!

 

I have not done any Dyno testing yet, to busy working and dont have the time to take it anywhere

As for the F1 Seats, they came with the car and I'm not very impressed with them, You suggest anything I should replace them with?

For the Motor, your right, i did not mean to put the 5 in there. whoops

But you do have a USDM/CDM valve cover

 

I had a new one put one, the original one was cracked during the shipping process. I took it to a Honda dealer and they put that one on it.

JDM Red recaro's.

 

what company did you use to purchase the car from? what company did you use for transport? how long did it take?

There is a company called Japan Partner, who exports cars, but I am not sure its legit... any help you can give me would be really appreciated.

Start by smacking the mechanic in the head.
second fix your throttle cable and ground strap.
Third, no need to hook it up- just enjoy.

I just got the car off Ebay and contacted my local or somewhat local Registered Importer, As for the Shipping, The Seller arranged it and all I had to do was pay for it and pick it up at the docks in the USA and run it through customs and all that.

sorry if that does not really answer your question.

 

post more pics i would like to see more pics

 

Welcome... but, more pics needed. Btw, keep heR safe!

 

Congrats on your ITR Post some more pics

I checked out that japan partner site and they seem pretty legit, or you can go up to Canada and a car imported there or go to an import dealer. I'm from Maine so I used to travel to quabec quite often and they have import dealers all over the place with cars from japan and other places, only thing you have to worry about there is getting it back in the USA.

How would a valve cover get damaged during shipping????? Its in the engine bay, the hood would have been closed!

Plus a USDM radiator reservoir.

 

nice r

 

Alright first of all, i had the motor shipped separate from the car, its easier to get past customs as a kit car with no motor than it is to have a car with a motor.

Second, here are the long awaited pictures, i used my phone so dont complain about the quality of them.













There we go, let me know what you think

Bowling green is about 30 minutes south of Hannibal and about 45 to an hour north of St. Louis

And for the hood, i have no idea i got the car like that and i think it might be the NRG Hood Dampers that are on it, only thing i can think of.

 

Nice caR. I'm also a new owner of a type r.
SO MANY NEW PARTS ALREADY! D@mn you!
