just look at the motor, if its got vtec writen on it its a vtir.. maybe someone changed your guage to an si? i just looked at mine and its either 7200 or 7400

[PrahVtec]

why would d previous owner do that?

wat characteristics does the vtir have which the si doesnt other dan engine?
like difference in interior or exterior ? dun tell me things like stickers plz...
i wana be sure its not a half cut or something.. =\

[vtek]

maybe to lower the Ks??? mian diff i guess is the engine, the guage cluster is illuminated.. check on www.PreludeAustralia.com, i guess You've just found out why your car is relitively cheap
theres alot of topics on it

[vtek]

last owner might of even done an engine swap?

man.. i wished i had a digital camera right now to shut you up haha..
i guess the way to check if the ks are genuwine is to look at your service log book and look where it has been serviced.. also the dates then ring then the place up to see if they have actually serviced it.. they usually have the record somwhere...

[PrahVtec]

haha no logs mate.. u fink i wouldnt haf chekd if i had em... =O

u stil hafnt answer my query tho.. :D

[vtek]

well i think what happened was the guy probly would of had high Ks on the old dials so he changed them.. and maybe he couldnt get the origianl vtir ones or too expensive so he got si ones, if you saw another one with the same dials then its another dodgy basterd selling it.. with si dials... i guess atleast your lucky the engine and shit cheaked out ok.. if it was me i would go and **** him up, dodgy dickhead.
