i agree

if i won the lottery, i'd grab a dc5 shell put a jdm k20 in it and build my own type r from the ground up!!

but some1 else said... u gotta be crazy

What luxury features does it have that the type R doesn't?

I dont know anything about the dc5s...

there are many people doing jdm conversions...such as brembo kit, lca, front sway...
and there are heaps that are hardcore modding their australian dc5r to to as fast as the jdm type r on the track...
for those that are doing this, they really don't care much about not having the jdm dc5r anyway
