Should flag that then for misleading buyers. What are the usual cues to differentiate them besides the Type R decal?

Yellow and White only. I actually know a chick that was convinced she bought a Type R. It was a black GS-R with a Type R badge. Ugh

-5x114.3 hubs
-different rear LCAs
-different strut tower bar
-different size sway bars
-B18C5 engine
-8400 rpm redline
-black seats and arm rest with red stitching
-doors do not have moldings
-leather never offered
-sunroof never offered
-auto never offered
etc. etc.
The best bet is to decode the vin, however, so here is the guide to do so:
Example VIN
JH4DB7551WS000001
Seperate the VIN like so
JH4 DB7 5 5 1 W S 000001
JH4=Honda Motor Co. Ltd. Acura Passenger Vehicle
DB7 = Body and engine type.
DB7: 4dr B18B
DB8: 4dr B18C
DC4: 2dr B18B
DC2: 2dr B18C
5= Body and transmission type
3: 2dr 5spd
4: 2dr auto
5: 4dr 5spd
6: 4dr auto
5= Vehicle grade *note* - may vary from year to year... 1: Type R
3: RS no pass. airbag (94)
4: RS with passenger airbag (94)
5: LS
6: GS/SE
8: GS-R
9: GS-R w/ leather seats
1= check digit, disregard
W= Model year
R: 1994
S: 1995
T: 1996
V: 1997
W: 1998
X: 1999
Y: 2000
1: 2001
S= Factory Code
S: Suzuka, Japan
000001= serial number Quote:

It's been around for a while | i wonder what engine this is. i would have to assume with everyone else that the seller advertised it as a type-r because it has a b18c5 swap? i can't read the stamp on the block, but definitely not a gsr intake manifold... i can't tell if it is a type-r one either because the strut bar is in the way in the pic. could be a skunk2 manifold bolted to a b18c1 for what little i know... seats are leather, but the door panels and the armrest are cloth. and i think someone already said the 4-bolt hubs are a giveway.

There's so much non-ITR stuff going on in the photo that it almost doesn't matter at this point. Besides what Mindbomber mentioned, the true tell-tale sign is the rear subframe, the thicker rear quarter panels and the rear trunk bar attachment provisions. These are things that are not swappable between models within the DC2 chassis. VIN should read DC231 for the ITR chassis in North America. Dealers also offered a sunroof but it would be installed at the dealership, not the factory. There is one floating around the US that a friend of mine owned for a while.
Mindbomber: no Milano Red ITR's in North America unfortunately. Only JDM, UKDM and EDM markets received those. I'm actually looking to import an EDM ITR in Milano Red someday but the exchange rate is pretty shitty now and the EDM pricing is out of control. EDM = LHD and North America front end.

^^yeah, that's Matt's site. He complied that info after years of research and contacting the Honda/Acura heads offices around the world. Really cool guy.
duy-: no red or blue in the US. No blue available anywhere as far as I know. Vogue Metallic Silver was a rare JDM color offered though.

Iron block though. I believe the benefits of the LS1 weight savings would be out the window.
