comments on me buying this JDM 96 Spec'ed Integra

**JDMintegra** · 31-08-2009 11:19 AM

yeah I did free check online via Vicroads and it seems all good and legit. I got my partner to drive it and it was great.
the car has a great sound but I am worried about the parts, the OEM carbon fibre bon looks like it had sticker placed ontop and removed so i can see some marks on it.

I did not even test the sound system as its the least of my worries i am looking for a 2nd car as a daily driver and this is perfect as its always been a car i wanted from the start but could not afford until now.

I will post some pictures if i get it in this or next week.

anyone willing to give me some contacts in melbourne that specialise in servicing hondas?

Why does he keep changing the year model? he says its 2000, then 97 spec, then 96??

sounds a bit odd to me, but then again, the REVS check shows its a 2000 model

might want to check the engine is a 2000 model too..

any photos of the compliance plates? and the interior?

I asked him that and he said he does not know much about the car.....I even asked him when i did the inspection if he can show me the compliance plate but he amd myself could not locate one..... He says its a JDM 96 spec Type R and I think its registered in 1997 but when it was imported to Australia it was registered as a 2000 model so it does seem funny abit but ?I have checked to see if this was a aus spec to JDM front conversion and its not as I checked the welding and screens in the engine bay and it looks all legit.

The bodywork (front and rear bumpers) are from a 96 spec car. I'm guessing it's a 96 spec, sold in Japan at the beginning of 97, then imported into Oz in 2000. But I'm only guessing. Take the car to Modproject in Clayton (google them). They're Honda tuners and good at spotting these things.
