Buying a DC2R what to look for?

ok i did the search, just got a few more question:
is the 2000 and the 2001 model same or they have some different?
if the car is serviced every 10ks instead of every 5k, is it still ok? or should i walk away?
would the car have a lot of different in power and speed, if i had 3 people in the car with ac on, compare to only 2 people in car without ac?
how do i buy the car if there is still finance owning on it?
if there is rust on the brake calipa (spelling) is it normal, rust is not on brake disc, its on the calipa?
is the black colour metallic or solid black?

Standard VTEC
Low-High is 5800
High-Low is 5600

Just make sure it has the ID number under the hand brake and if its a AUS spec, take down the vin number, go to a Honda dealership and ask them to check out the history.
I did it, and they told me where it was purchased, all the service history and at what KLM and where from the computer....

You can actually check all that info online on Honda OZ website

You dont go to a link to check the history, I went to Garry Warren Honda and asked them, and they were very helpfull. About the brake calipers being rusty, its ok, I get that all the time when I dont drive it much. All the 99-01 DC2R's are exactly the same engine (only diff engine numbers). About the 10k and 5k service, its hard to say. It is normal to get a car serviced at 10k and 5k if it is thrashed quite regularly, just make sure that car has a service history (books) wheather its by Honda or other. And black are metalic yes. (pearl black)

dude either scroll down through the integra section or go to the search icon next to new post and serach it...this exact topic was covered last month....:thumbsup:

to check History of car, you must register the car details first.

Test drive the car. Check the oil leakage. Check the seat. Check the paint. After checking, you can estimate how he maintain his car.

And check the vtec valve thing.... #)($*#)($ what's the name of it? the little bronze cap thing on the left hand corner of the engine, next to the distrubutor, check if it leaks oil

check the paint colour between the exterior and the inside door, if it's different, it's repaint....

Seat.... well it's covered..... check conditions, check rail, check mountings

Check the gear, especially 2nd and 3rd, Gearbox should label N3E LSD

check engine code, B18C7, P73 head

check leakage, for eg, any coolant around the rad cap, reservior tank, brake fluid and clutch fluid, what's the colour of it

Well... couldn't think of anything else right now, plz add guys

Anyway sometimes you couldn't find out anything when testdrive, ppl just being too good to hide something, just beware of that

just buy mine and you won't have to do any checks - well maintained and never tracked.

mine is black and it is not metallic - option only.
