lmaoo ^ quick jew fix
I rekon you should of checked all this wen buying the car. If youd done a revs check it would tell you everything about it, including written off vehicle history, engine number change, finance etc
You should talk with the old owner and see if he has upgraded the bottom end to ITR spec

That would suck if you'd have a b18c2 bottom block especially if you paid for a price of an ITR.
Dodgy trading if it wasn't mentioned when purchased.

very very true this should of been your rule number1 for buyin cars!!! i even buy the revs certificate for only i think like 15bux or so n its for the 24hour period ur protected its like a personal insurance for buyin cars but thats me

i don't think Revs opperate in Victoria. Isn't it just a NSW thing?

[GSi_PSi]

[hotdc2]

if you pay for the certificate you can use it as evidence should a company try to repossess the car.

lol, did the vehicle check n everything - was on the look out for b18c1...when i saw c2 thought ah k it's all good. the thing revs to the right limit, goes like i thought it would go....and yeh...dw guys, thanks for all your help but ima work this out....maybe ill post what i end up doing (engine-wise) and you can see what i end up running around in :P.

i paid integra type r money for it....yeh i know bit stupid...

and to the post about karma, and whether i do anything about it...guy i bought it off looked f***** broke, i seriously can't believe that he did this, i reckon it was the guy he bought it off (you know, the whole "ah well i got f***** i'm gonna f*** someone else"). chain stops with me.

at the end of the day, you can go, cause serious serious damage (unfortunately it's a LOT easier than you would think), and feel fullfilled, but imo, one of us is in a position to fix this, and the other one isn't.

i know this sounds stupid, but i'm not your every day joe-go-buy-a-car-without-checking-anything. i checked everything. unfortunately i refused to look further into the engine code. i was more on the look out for written off. and believe me, the chasis is itr, and that sort of made me think "yeh it's all good"

anyway guys i'm done. you've helped me with all my questions and now it's onto the whole "make it a f****load better than a dc2r faze"...which will probably require a dc2r engine lol.

cheers

if ur after making into a "load better than the dc2r", then start with a K20/24 swap dont waste ur money on a another B18CR, cause ppl will then ask why it hasnt got the original engine etc etc. Im certain no ones going to ask why you swapped out the engine for a K series :P

[hotdc2]

You talk like you have a bit of money.. if so, go K. you won't regret it.
best thing you could ever do to your car

[Neesmo31]

Just for future reference the best way to check for a genuine model is to get a VCheck and also i emailed honda australia with my VIN and Engine number (before i bought the car mind you) and they confirmed that it was in fact a genuine type r with the original motor. Your vceck will tell you if the motor/chassis numbers dont match too.

NSW-based REVS operates in all states except WA and Tasmania. WA has their own REVS and Tasmania has a different authority.

I think people will still ask why his engine is a B18C2 anyway. If he has TLC then I reckon Kswap is the way, but however, if he has a small budget and willing to spend, he can consider waiting for people in the forum trying to sell their B18C7 block.

K swap will set you at least 10k and a block will cost you between 2k-4k depending on seller.
