my friend is trying to buy this type R, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...sting but he thinks it might be a fake because it doesnt have the red emblem and he said he saw a pic of the gauge cluster and saw the redline at around 7500 (that pic is not in the ad). so he is not sure if it is the real deal or just a teg with a bunch of type r **** on it. any comments or input is appreciated. thanks.


Thats the image that has the tach on it.

 

real, but still salvaged.

 

i seen this on craigslist.org. its a salvage/theft recovery. he could have changed out the tack or the gauge cluster since he rebuilt it. 97 itrs i believed didnt have red A emblems. ask for the vin number to see if the chassis is really a itr. but the parts he used who knows engine code looks like b18c so either could be a gsr block with differnt head or a jdm itr block. hard to tell from the pics

Carlo

 

i just found out that he has a few type r's and he rebuilds them.

 

the vin is on the ad JH4DC2312VS003081

The 8th digit, being a 1, indicates that it is indeed an ITR.

 

so i guess its the real deal then, thanks for all the help guys. the guy said he is going to include a real type r gauge cluster, he is in the process of finding a replacement one.

 

also remember...a badge or emblem on the car doesnt signify its model

 

isn't the seller of that car the guy on these boards that specifically finds salvaged R's and rebuilds them? I don't know how he makes a profit off of it honestly, he must be getting that stuff cheap.

 

Im pretty sure all ITR's have the red "A" emblem.Including the 97's,i dont think they left it out a year.

They do, but it isn't hard to change/remove an emblem.

DUH...

 

also, the rear subframe or crossmember has a special bracket welded on to accommodate the type r's rear tie bar. He could have welded it on himself however, but it looks real to me

Thanks for your insight but if you read the post, it has already been determined that the car is indeed an authentic Integra Type R.

 

Theft recovery Type R.

do type r's in that year have orange in the tail lights cuz mine donesnt and i dont think any other ones do either, , but it does look real

 

all 94-97 USDM tegs have those. if you have a 97, it originally had the yellow blinkers
