I recently purchase this 98 type r from houston with badge number 98-1091 it has a greddy turbo kit,2 15" white te37 on the back and 2 itr's on the front,3" apex n1 catback,wing west side skirts and rear lip.
when i pick up the car the owner say that the previous owner had it abandonned on the back yard wich is why the clear was fading off and front and back bumper was chewed off by dogs.
i just want to know the history behind this car,the previous owner told me that it has a built motor (head and block) but you cant tell unless you open the motor.
any information would be apreciated i will post pictures as soon as i get some free time.

 

in for pics

 

PM a user 'Doespike'. He may or may not have any info on her. Worth a quick PM though.

 

Why bother, it's already in the Type R Registry in your sig!?!?

 

That's because it's the OP's listing
Doespike may have come across a previous owner. I haven't.

 

i put it on the registry

 

id drop the oil pan and take off the valve cover and look

 

x2

im in for what ever info you find on this car. i always find itr stories to be intresting.

 

Bump in for pics

 

pictures are up

 

It needs some work. Lots of unknown wires just hanging around.

 

i already replace the front and back bumper but you can tell is been neglected by previous owner. ( how can you do that to a type r )

 

Just some TLC will be good, nice find

 

looks like the same R I was going to pick up at the end of 2010. I'd also check the motor just because of how the owner took care of the rest of the car you never know what you can find. G/L with it I know you will take better care of it lol.

 

Good man

What's the story behind the wheels though?

And I'll trade you 15cw and 15py type R lanyards you can sell for like $5 ea to your buddies for your spark plug cover

 

the back wheels are real 15" te37 wich i would love to find the other 2 it dont mather the color or 2 itr/ctr wheels wichever comes first.
the history behind this car is what im trying to find out.
i'll keep you guys updated as i get this baby back to stock

 

Poor R!!! Owner b4.....Hope you turn it around! GL

 

Those are real Volks? Offset looks so weird and I didn't know they came with centercaps
