Looks like someones spent a fair bit of money at RE-A. Bonnet, Headlights, Bumper, Wheels, Skirts, Mirrors, Rear Wing, Front Fenders, Rear Arch Extensions, Rear Light Cover, Rear Spats, AST all look like RE-A. Not sure why someones gone to the trouble of slapping silver tape and black duct tape all over the airbox and pipework. Thats a bit grim.

Figure it's heat control, has defi gauges etc, obviously can't know internal engine specs from an online auction, but it has the right wheels etc but just can't be 100% sure.

I doubt the tape is doing much and id rather have the original plastic and gain a little intake temp than have ugly tape everywhere lol. The ECU will prob be an RE-A Redom (reflashed stock ecu). Looks period correct for something built in the 90s or early 2000s going by the style of bodykit.

i think the re "built" cars have plaques on the firewall that say they are re "built" but yes, someone definitely checked a lot of boxes from re catalogue

....Then some rich Aussie guy in red shoes bought it. haha jkjk

Welcome to the club! It's hard to tell if that's an Arc intercooler or a stock one with reflective tape on it, but it definitely ain't an Amemiya part, at least not one I've seen. I'm thinking Arc by the fender sticker.
Either way, beautiful FD you've got there. Congrats!
