My DC5R, gets a decent push every day at least, runs as strong as when i bought it, almost 2 years now and the car is slightly modified... Will be getting abit more deeper next year.
Car presents immaculately outside and it's Milano Red.
Don't listen to the above, seriously.
Mods = Doesn't mean the car gets thrashed and tbh... No such thing as thrashing a Type R.
The Motor is designed to be redlined, the B18C is a fantastic motor and is still going very strong for it's age, just don't expect the car to be 100% perfect lol.
I Would personally avoid anything that's been rebuilt though... go for something that's stock but try and grab something with a few mods provided there quality modifications, not rubbish.
Also... IMO... It's illegal to not push a Type R to it's limits...
Your telling me the owner who's selling a you a stock Type R has never thrashed it? What rubbish.
Car has been baby'd... Once you VTEC her a few times.... Watch what will happen considering the car isn't use to it.
A Car that's been abused abit, will be able to deal with it alot better compared to a car that never gets abused IMO
Thats my 2 cents.
