Because I was just messing around to the bottom of google images, and I'm kinda freaked out lol.

Here is mine:

And the car from the 3 year-old ad:

Image

My car already had a unique paint color, with an odd panda scheme (I always wondered why the black lines were off).

There are the same GTV decals. Same Weapon R floor mats.

The front and rear bumper and frame show signs of an accident. When I purchased the car, it came with extra front headlights and a massive box of bumper and securing parts.

Here is what I believe happened:

The car was mint, but was in a nasty crash.

Or

The car was stripped of it's expensive parts. I.E. Carbon mirrors, JDM front/rear bumps, carbon hood, etc.

My car also came with a rear wiper delete, there is no sun-roof, and one of the side mirrors has a completely missing wire. Just gone. Which is odd for a stock power mirror. Also, the bumper lights were completely re-wired. Which always bugged me, why someone would completely rewire an entire harness for factory corners. The wear pattern on the seats is exactly the same. Both cars have exactly the same dent on the rear, underneath the hatch but above the bumper.

I don't know. Thoughts?

Pretty sure that's your car, your car is very unique. That's crazy you found an ad of it from 3 years ago.

Is that a legitimate website where people buy cars from?

I remember after I sold my Silvia S13, a year later I came across an add on the internet on some random "unique cars for sale" website with my car on there. They used my pictures/info from my craigslist ad and everything Lol.

That is awesome that you found your car on some random website lol. Too bad it wasn't fully intact like that before it got to you. At least yours sits nicely now compared to 3 years ago.

Yeah guys, it's crazy. I was literally at like page 13 of google search for "white SR5 hatch" lol.

I'm not really sure about that site Jay, the images are only listed on Pinterest, this site, and that cars2040 site (which I've heard strange things about too).

What's really interesting is that my ODO stopped at 150k. I thought maybe I was close to that.. But the listing says it was at 300k 3 years ago, so.... I hope the guy just picked some arbitrary number lol.

I guess a nice pro was that the trans was rebuilt. But there is no way of knowing if that's the one in the car. 4th grinds which I always thought was odd.

That is totally neat. From the uk? Can you do a vin check and see?? Then you could see where your car has been registered in the past.

Nah, the site I don't think even has UK cars lol.

I'll get a VIN check here soon, I'm having issues with Paypal right now over a ridiculous buyer, but once it clears up I definitely want to see ol' girl's history. I'm sure it's something else.

So I guess she was born in Takaoka, Toyama prefecture.

First imported in early 1986 of January to Texas, USA.

I actually somehow tracked down a previous owner's cell phone number (it was on the internet under a stolen Type R integra thread). I believe he owned it in the early 2000s.

It was originally black, and it was that way for a long time. I wish I could find some pictures of how it looked when black.

Does anyone know how I can go about confirming the original color? I'm assuming it was just black. But it might have been black/silver.

It's ok bro, I still forget to check rad support for crush marks when I look at used JDM chassis. Then I see it like 3 months later LOL.
