Have I bought a Type R or been ripped?

[skytchm]

Hello, I have recently bought a 1989 (badged) type R Integra. I've started to get suspicious about its genuineness. Information I can find from the car is as follows:
VIN: JHM DA9 3500S001478
Stamped on the block: B18A1
It's listed production date is September 1989 (DA9)
Any ideas what I have got???
Thanks...

they didn't make 89 type r ...

you probably have a stock da integra with a type r badge stuck to it LOL non-vtec too sorry to shatter your dreams m8

[skytchm]

so some nut-job has bought some stickers on ebay... thought that was the case.

[RenzokukenJ]

Im really sorry but I just lol'd so hard

[skytchm]

Yeah thanks... I still like the car, just wish people would leave things genuine on these cars

[RenzokukenJ]

Its an unfortunate problem that people have, however its all about the look that people want to have to make other owners jelly

But it doesnt matter, its more about what you like out of the car and what you want it to look like.

Doesnt matter about what everyone else wants you to have your car look like or what they think :)

Did he tell you it was a type r? LOL

[skytchm]

Too true, oh well I'll just get the stickers off it and not pretend to own a type R.

[skytchm]

The dealer did... bought it off a yard in Launceston

fkin lmfao!!

dodgy dealers ay, think they know about cars when nek minut, they know nothing

[skytchm]

Yeah, the good news is I stuck him with a trade that needed over 2K in brake works... lol

[RenzokukenJ]

did you tell him that the one you traded was a type R? haha

[skytchm]

Even though it isn't a type R, it is still a nice car, and I know I got the better of the deal on the day, but people that put fake badges on cars are just the lowest...'89 Integras seem to be fairly rare these days, and the ol' girl is in good nick even without the type R badge.

DA9 god

Wow that's quite a bit. 5.5k after trade in? Or before? Because you can buy a fairly clean Integra GSI (DC4) for around that price! You can even find some VTi-R's for around that or just a bit more if you are patient about it.

I hope it's really clean. Post up some pictures! By the way did the dealer tell you it was a Type R? Or just told you it's an Integra and let you believe it on your own?
