I really don't know there was a big discussion on this either on this forum or the integra forum about this and most people say that that's not the real motor/shift ****. Thinks that the person just replace everything out before the bank repo him.

Black strut brace?
black engine cover?
non- titamium shift ****?

I personaly think it's real but I'd like to see an explanation for those items. I'm sure there's a reasonable one

They do. It's just a Civic Si valve cover (I think the GSR is the one with the DOHC larger then vtec but I may have this reversed). Anywho looks pretty real to me. One thing though....

This vehicle has a different set of front end parts that are on the vehicle...I am being told by many people that the front end was manufactured by a company called "JDM" and it is considered a japanese front end conversion
hahaha....good stuff. Here's something else I thought was interesting that came on the window sticker from Acura...

The unique high performance tires on this vehicle are not designed for winter driving. Suitable tires must be installed for driving on ice and snow. The tires on this vehicle will wear more rapidly then normal passenger car tires. Tire life may be less then 15,000 miles depending on how you drive.

I've seen just about as many fake type-r's as real ones. a lot of people dump a lot of money to make their car something it is not.

Although I've been a member of HT for over a year and a half, I stop by from time to time skipping a week or three because I really do not have the time to keep an avid tabs on all the wonderful topics being discussed.

Thank you however for bringing THAT to my attention. I will in future try to make HT a great part of my daily activity called life.

Dude the body work obviously isn't finished, so they took the emblem off to sand and primer the deck lid, as soon as it's painted the holes will be there to put the emblem back on.

Why don't we run a CarFax on the VIN and see what comes up?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but check out the side skirts. Those are looking a little GSR to me. Weren't the Type R ones different?

Can anyone see the LSD stamp on the tranny. The VIN number may be correct but aren't the vins usually rivetted to the tranny and block? The VIN looks to be in great shape but the bolts holding it are not? Kind of strange. What happened to the type r keys?? Still looks like a ITR. Someone should just drive it and they will be able to tell.

I just happen to see an RS yesterday that was made to llok like an ITR. Full JDM front end, motor, wheels, suspension... Big giveaway was the missing strut bars in the trunk, rs seats, lower arm bar had no mounting points for lower bar. Sound deadening had even been stripped.

OMG, here goes this debate again.

It's a real Type R. It's been beat to hell. Bank repo, all *cool* parts were stripped.

I'd do the same thing to my car if the bank was going to repossess it

It is real, the owner probably just took out some of the easily removable ITR-specfic stuff before it got repo'd, like the shift ****, valve cover, shock tower brace, etc.

But gawd, fiberglass J-spec front end, and Firestone tires

why are you guys still talking about this ....its a freakin type R....but since it got repoed, the owner decided to keep some of the ITR goodies for himself....like V/c ....strut bar .....shift ****....no the ITR doesnt have different side skirts ....IT IS A TYPE R .... B-series parts are interchangable....

2000 AND 2001 ITR'S did not come w/ the R key... there key looks the same as every other acura.
Also USDM R's don't come with a rear strut brace...

oh, and I second the "welcome to last week"
