yeah a 4 door ITR in the US :chuckles:


and actually, my advice wouldn't work seeing as how a DC = 2 door. I don't know the engine code works for 4 doors. Perhaps DB2 = 4 door gsr and DB4= 4 door gs ??? :dunno:

Hey guys thanks for the great help! I looked under the hood and got a real nice suprise, its b18c under there and the previous owner already did two of the first mods to the car i was going to do. He threw in a MagnaFlow Exhaust system a cold air intake, although i cant remember the name of the intake of the top of my head.

ooh i lied, i looked under the seat and the manual was there, says its an EL, but the stamp on the engine says b18c. Could this be deceptive? or possibly the guy did an engine swap? The valve cover syas Vtech DOHC aswell.

Dont buy it, wal-mart sells vtech for only $9.99 plus tax.
On the other hand if you got a vtec...

The EL is a Canadian model that is essentially a Civic sedan with Acura badges and some cosmetic changes. It doesn't look anything like an Integra.

If the car you're buying is a GSR sedan it should look like this:

If it looks like the picture I posted then it's an Integra. That EL manual is the wrong book for the car.
