THen you go find other type-R parts and put it in - suspension, seats, steering wheel, emblems, wheels, everything that you could possibly get, such that the only original part from the DC2 is the chassis.

Is it now a Type-R?

some say no, some say yes.
the engine is the most important part of a typeR.. everything like suspension, brakes, handling etc come second

but thats abit of a pickle.. ppl can just create a dc2r/fd2r with the right genuine parts and know-how on how to build one... but i would consider a true typeR car when it actually comes out of a japanese honda factory.. hehe
