I reckon it comes down to the gearbox...i mean if it's itr, and therefore have an lsd, there's no way the guy:
1. blew his engine
2. bought a jdm integra type r transmission (cos i know my ratio is 4.4 final drive)
3. bought a jdm SIR-G block
4. bought a jdm/audm integra type r/civic head
and threw it all together. it's too much effort for too much stupidity.
Or maybe he blew his engine and got a JDM B18C from a type R as a replacement and everything else is still the same. I wouldn't rely too much on a gear ratio calculator to tell you whether you have a 4.4 or 4.7 final drive. Unless you have someone with a DC2R with known 4.4 final drive telling you that your engine should be spinning at xxxx RPM at a certain speed, I would still be guessing that your gearbox could have a 4.7 final drive.
