Geeze the ass must of fallen out of the honda market for the prices to be that low???
No the owner was going back to singapure so he had to sale the car in hurry
the type r is a great car i got mine over a wrx ... i never thought of buying one till the sales man made me drive it... but anyway back on topic
i have got a fair stereo in mine and it sounds great dvd 2 screens 3 amps bla bla bla..
as for doing things to it to compensate for stereo weight i would advise watching best motoring type r legend first.
1:- great daily driver but revs high on the highway
2:- cop attention is drver dependant..
3:- get the best tyres you can afford... you get what you pay for
4:- see reply #3
5:- in my opinion yes it is worth it
pm me if you want to buy mine lol
Thanks all, I ended up getting a 95 VTI-R. Loved it when I took it for a drive, and honestly couldnt justify the $10k extra it would have costed me to get a 01 Type R. Although I can see definately why people would chose to get the R.
I found myself a nice bargain I think, $15k for a very sexy black teg vti-r, completely stock driven by a chick! :)
Good stuff, low milage?
130k, so not too bad I don't think.
As for the DC2R, I drive mine to work every day (about 30kms each way) and love it :D Its up to the individual. I thought the seats & suspension were going to be a problem but they're great! The firmness and ride height is perfect for street use IMO. For me it was the clutch and engine performance at low revs that took getting used to. Once you practice enough and can drive smoothly then its not a problem.Quote:

Test drive one and you'll know straight away if the car is for you. If you get in and can't stop grinning, buy one. If you find it annoying trying to get comfortable, or find the ride too bumpy or get jerked around using the clutch, look at another car. Maybe a DC5R?
If its stock should be no problem. Cops seem to respect the car when its stock. If you have huge wheels, thumping bass, GT wing, or blue headlights then yes expect problems. The bigger problem I am having than cops is getting wankers at every set of lights trying to turn it into a race.Quote:
2. Police attention? Can I expect to be pulled over more? I don't mind, I'll keep my mods legal etc, but still, if I were to get pulled over twice a night that would be piss me off.
With the sound deadening gone, the engine and road noise are pretty loud. In the city driving slowly or in a parked car, thats the only two times you can appreciate a decent radio. Revving the engine out frequently (which you need to do if you arent driving like a granny to work every day) or highway driving (4000rpm @ 115km/h!) = don't spend money on the sound system.Quote:
5. Is a decent sound system a waste of money/power? Couple 12's in the back, Alpine 9831, awesome splits at the front? I mean, the car doesn't vibrate like a tin can does it? (Obviously no osund deadening cos I wanna save weight..)
Sounds bad, but luckily the engine sounds awesome so I just turn the radio off when I'm going for a spirited drive.

Oh and, high mileage is not a problem if it has been serviced well and regularly. Watch out for crunching when you change gears at higher revs - means its been thrashed & could be expensive to fix that.
