Does anybody know this car from Perth?
A few generic question id like to ask to you guys are..

What to look out for when buying these cars (i drive a rex - wouldnt know)
Why the built engine? I thought standard type-r engines were pretty strong as is..
With all those gadgets and gadges - id assumed it been driven fairly spiritedly...thrashed?
What about the price.?


thanks heaps guys

i reckon it has been pushed a bit hard just by the looks of it.
dislike the big exhaust on dc2r and the non enclosed intake.

if he does buy it, ask for every piece of stock part, cause that thing is oooooogggly

he doesnt have the stock body parts anymore, and iirc its been forsale for quite a while. even i contemplated buying it when it was for $25k.

price wise its cheap, but personally, dun get rac or sumfing to get it out..get an actual well known workshop to check it out...

hope that helps

thanks guys, its been sold for 17k apparently.

Hes now looking at a 2003 Accord Euro - which I think is a much better buy?

[d15z1SUX]

yeh this integra is meant to be pretty fast. it had standard bodywork until the last owner. and apparently has been raced alot... but thats just what i heard :P

[tectalk]

i personally wouldn't buy it so many better ones around just some advise, also try and get a stock one that way u no it hasn't been moded or had a hard life of vtecing (my 2 cents) :)

[Int3gra-T]

it was in a major accident right fender i think, its all warped.
thats what i had heard

Take a look at the engine bay.
Take a look at the engine strut.
Its bent.

Definately been pushed way too hard or accident.
