i bought a 98 VTiR for $15k with full Type R body kit and 150k km

then i spent $3k on sussy and will be spending $8k on the engine, so i will be upto the price of a good stock Type R...

they are my thoughts... but i like building my own toys...

if you get a VTiR make sure it is 98+ with twin airbags and facelift front and rear ends.

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