hahahahaha... well that can be said for alot of cars out there, honda or no honda.... AE86 with rotary anyone??? lol.... But it really comes down to how u view it i guess... given the budget, as its just the engine swap and no actual suspension, brakes or chassis mods, it will never compare to a real R badge car, given the money, id say go for a half cut, that way u get everything to make it work as a whole

Its one thing to have a Type-R engine, another to make it as good or better than a Type-R
