This thread is almost a year old ?

take the lid off your airbox and try it...

wow this thread is over a year old! infact it is 2 years old!

but i haven't read it before and i agree with 00dc2... if that dude chose to buy a VTiR over the Type R coz he wanted the sunroof... then yes he DEFINITELY made the right decision... hahaha!

and to the THREAD STARTER, what did u end up doing? did u buy the VTiR or the Type R? if i read this 2 years ago i would say to buy the VTiR coz u mentioned that u wanted to put a bodykit, rims, etc. Stuff that u don't really do to a real Type R (unless they're lightweight wheels of course).

hehehe just read this today as well
i would agree with dc2rbody kits, wheels, sound systems etc... sounds more for a VTiR

yeah wouldnt mind to hear the tread start what they chose VTiR or a Typr R

Well if someone is choosing a Type-R over a VTi-R due to a sunroof then they obviously don't care as much about performance as you do, therefore they certainly made the right decision. The difference in ride comfort between the two is immense. Now ride comfort isn't in my vocabulary but i'm sure a lot of people care about it, girlfriends especially

If you care about "enjoyment" however, you'd have to be mad to opt for the VTi-R

Sound deadening is very important to many people, and you don't have to be mad to opt for a VTi-R. Fit Type R suspension incl sway bars etc and you have a very sharp car, don't underestimate until you've lived with it and you'll be surprised.

I said that in the previous paragraph... By enjoyment I mean you bought the car purely to fang around

I effectively drive what you've just mentioned, but a DA9. The only benefit of the Type-R really is the stiffer & lighter chassis and better steering assembly, the rest is replacable or cosmetic.

I have ITR sussy etc on my DC2 and love the fact it's still quiet. Though I wish I had a close ratio box. I would certainly love the ITR but the noise would frustrate me at times.

they are just as nice as the Type R inside, but cheaper insurance-wise too

??? Cheaper insurance sure. But you think the Lack of recaros, and momo steering wheels, and full black door trims and fake carbon fibre dash inserts are just as nice? IMO I think not. Also VTi-R's have that little compartment, inbetween the seats.

I think he would mean that the VTi-R with lack of Recaros etc is easier to live with day to day for the average person. Personally I'd love some Recaros in mine....

my 2 cents.
