Hey I want to buy a 00 type r and I just want you guys to look at the engine bay and say if things look normal






I just realized that I posted this on the integra forum. Is there any way to go over to the type-r forum??

 

Looks legit from this angle and what I can see, other than that JDM front.

Is the engine a B18C5?

Does the vin match the body?

 

thats the thing I dont know its on a auction. The funny thing is that 3 weeks ago there was a 01type-r black with like 50k miles all perfect runs and drives. Now at the same auction is a 00 all perfect with no visual damage. Usually you see a type-r at aution all stripped with no alive spot on it. we'll see
btw I'm not sure if its c5 but looks like it is

 

Can't tell much with regards to the motor/drivetrain, but the chassis is almost certainly a true Type-R. If you look beside the ABS unit, you'll see a circular hole in the bracket...on non-R models there is a corresponding hole in the body, which the factory intake pulls from. ITR's do not have this hole, and this picture shows no evidence of a hole there. It also has the factory studs for the OEM strut bar...another indicator that it is an R.

 

^ GSR's also have the OEM strut bar mounting studs. You're spot on about the intake hole though. That's about the only indication we have that it's an ITR at this point.

I would definitely get more information about the motor & chassis before bidding. Namely, the VIN so you can check its history and legitimacy..

 

THANKS

 

Moved.

 

Looks legitimate from the picture. Why does the engine code on the block have red on it? Does it say B18C5 or B18C? I'm asking because that is a JDM ITR valve cover and not a USDM ITR valve cover. I can't really tell but it almost looks like the trans has the green VIN plate on it, if so, try seeing if that number matches the one in the dash and on the firewall.

 

A red block stamp indicates a brand new assembled short block, purchased from Honda/Acura. Which is a good thing if it's the C5 that belongs in this car.

It may just have a JDM valve cover, or it may be a JDM engine. Who knows..

 

it is missing the vin on the tranny

 

Looks like the same car JDM JERM posted up for someone to buy. Valve cover is not USDM. That doesn't mean its jdm though.

 

vins missing off tranny and block number is orange which means it was rebuilt, did you win that auction?

 

thanks guys I did not win it. It went for more than I gave. I gave 5.5k
