Can you post a pic of them? Sounds like they may be UKDM lights? As for the missing rear wiper, the previous owner probably deleted it for a cleaner look. A lot of ITR owners do this. I never used my rear wiper when I had it on anyway...so off it went. Saved me 3 whole lbs.

 

Oh and as for no rear wiper, I forgot to add that if you RainX the glass you will have very good visabilty.

 

Took the car to dealership this morning because SRS light is on, and I failed inspection because I have no horn. Conclusion....dealership told me that the car has been wrecked before. There are a lot of indication that would suggest that because one of the bolt on the strut tower bolt is broken, one wheel stud is broken, horn has been taken out and no harness left in the car, SRS light is on, aftermarket radiator, and JDM front end. I begin to believe them now. The questions for you all is...
Since the broken bolt on the strut tower bar is part of the body, what would you do...I was thinking about welding another bolt to the body so that I won't have a bolt missing..what do you think? Any idea?
Then with CARFAX....I pulled the car fax report on the car before I purchased it, and CARFAX guarantee up to $5000 that it is accurate. Since now I find out it has been wrecked..I am really mad. How could I qualify to get my money from CARFAX? Thanks a lot....by the way I am still enjoying the car so much..I am always walking so fast toward the car when I am going home from work like I can't wait to drive..He he.He..
Thanks much!

 

I thought it was the law that a dealership has to release any info if the car had been wreked and repaired. thats the law in hawaii and nevada. that is for new cars so it may not apply to used cars. Any way ask them if you get a three month or 3000 mile warranty? most used cars come with some kind of warranty. did you buy it at a major dealership or a small lot? as
far as the bolt is concerned get an estamint on what it would cost to have a new bolt welded on. I once took my strut tower bar off my 00 si and it was real hard to get back on so maybe if the frame isint straight they could have cut the bolt off to make the strut bar fit. just a thought. again
if it is a major dealership they should make your car safety check passable
and fix your SRS and horn.

 

I bought it from Mazda dealership in Roswell. Not very big dealer.
I get the remaining factory warranty.
My SRS has been fixed by Acura Dealer yesterday under warranty.
But the horn is missing so Acura is not covering it under warranty.
Plus they should have given me inspection in the first place huh?
Anyway, what should I do to claim my money from CARFAX?
Tell me what I should do...

 

Did the dealer, or salesperson actually admit the car was wrecked? If so, is the title a "salvage" title or was the damage done small so the car would not be considered "totaled?" I beleive a "salvage" title is only for cars that have been totaled or water damaged, etc. In any event, I would write a letter to the dealer demanding my money back; the price you stated earlier is way too much for any R that has been wrecked, regardless of the intial damage. I would copy the letter to a lawyer and definitley check out any laws, lemon or otherwise, in the state you purchased the car to see if you have any recourse against the dealer. If the dealer is an authorized Mazda dealer, I would find out who the Zone Manager is and call and copy the letter to him/her.

I would think any reputable dealer, especially a franchised dealer, would do you right by either taking the car back with full refund or fixing it to your statisfaction, completely.

Don't let this dealer get by with delivering an abused or damaged car; you do have rights.

97-98 R's didn't come with a rear wiper I don't beleive.. They started putting them as a standard option in 2000-01 if I'm remembering the years right.

As far as your different colored taillights... the style you have was the factory taillight on all integra's from 94-98, then in 99+ they went to a white reverse light and the rest being red. Also, the front and rear bumpers will look different from the 98 R's compared to the 00-01 R's...

You might wanna click on the FAQ link about in the navagational bar above. It'll prolly answer all your questions regarding the R and whats different about each one from year to year...
