Dear members

Contemplating buying either a DC2 type R or an EM1 but can't seem to make my mind up. Hopefully some members here can supply me with some suggestive information in regards to both of these cars I'm considering.

Contemplating buying this VTi-R coupe as a daily/touge car. What are members thoughts on it?

Claims he has all the receipts for a 13k rebuild and parts, All seals, idler bearing, tensioner bearing, timing belt and water pump have been replaced. Including forged internals. The motor was built by Harris engines in NSW. I would have thought a motor with this extent of modification would have made more power.

Would I enjoy driving a DC2 type R more is the question, I believe the DC2R will have a handling advantage to some degree.

But this seems like it's worth an inspection considering the amount of money that's been spent on it.

Only thing I'm concerned about would be deteriorated bushes and how hard of a life the new motors had already.

He claims that the EM1 made 122fwkw on the run in tune and more power could be extracted from it once it wears in a bit but he says the power is perfect as it stands now. Considering a leak down test which the owner has no problem with just for peace of mind.

Best regards Cristos.
