I see the jdm R's with a four lug pattern on them and then the US type r with the five lug. So i was wondering wat another way would be to tell the difference between a real jdm type r and a modded rs, gs , ls.... ???

 

4 lug jdm itrs (if they are real) were only made in 96, the only way to tell is if they dont have recaro's, and if they are LHD they are fake

 

4 lug ITRs are 4x114 as opposed to 4x100 on non ITR tegs. But you probably could not tell unless someone was rockin the 4 lug ITR rims.

 

If you see four lugs in the States, assume it's not an ITR.

If you see five lugs, it's possible it was a non-ITR that was modded. You can check the VIN to be sure.

 

IC, I found a 1997 Jdm Integra but i dont know how to tell if it is real or they just peiced the car together. A fellow member is selling it on HT. Here is a link to the thread, what do u think of the car? thx guys

that looks real to me. i donno bout the gage cluster does anybody else know wut speed a jdm ones goes to. cuz it shows 190km max and mine shows 230km max on it.

 

whatever 128mph is in kmh is what the jdm gauges go up to.

 

No sunroof is a dead giveaway. Given that, RS models alsocome with no sunroofs

 

It looks JDM and pretty nice. BUT,that 96spec, didn't have HID head lamps. They were changed for sure. Check it out guy..

That looks just like my JDM cluster. Mugen made a speedo to go in there that went higher than 190KPH...maybe that is what you have?

It looks like the headlamps have an HID kit in them. The JDM HID lamps have a bulge for the projector and the lines do not run through them. These are the non HID with a HID kit added.

 

He's right up here.. HID headlamps only were on 98-01 models. 95-97 models only had halogen lamps. you can notice from the projector,hid has a smaller lence!!

Check out if it has a stock 4-1 header. 95-97 models didn't have stock 4-1.Only 98 onwards had.

JDM, main point RHD!!

Everything else can be "faked"

 

Do you think this car is worth looking into?? Or is the price to good to be true. I see a lot of US type R that are going for more than this one is. Thx everyone for your opinion, I appreciate it.

Yeah, and catch a Type boot in your mouth when the R owner thinks you are tryin to run his Vin

 

Why would somebody go to all that trouble to create a fake type R ??????

wouldnt the cost of the parts be more than just buying a type R in the first place ????

Actually they were made in 96 & 97......But anyways man....you will know because the 4 lug pattern is much bigger then the integra, civic pattern. In other words you couldnt put 96&7 4 lug wheels on your civic or teg.

 

Yeah, its definitely real.

 

The reason US type-R's sell for more is because:

1) They can still be warrantied
2) You can actually find the history on the vehicle
3) No hassles with registration

 

Its real, reason I know is... cuz I own one. 97 jdm r here.

 

very nice, very real, 16,500$, buy that **** before someone else does

 

they have really bad credit or cant afford anything more than a $4000 teg ls...then work on it one peice at a time
