like saying to you,you cant do it but your mate can..
Mate I clearly said "...mates that are very good at DIY .." Which implies the mates have the skills to do such things- either mechanics themselves or skilled backyarders. I shouldn't need to explain but hey.
I wouldn't go for the Vti-R dude, just go for the DC2r. Rebuilding them is the same amount of effort however B18c2 (VtiR) is significantly less power (160hp~) than the B18c7 (Type R) (200hp~).

Just a little pointer.
Your pointer is a little bit off:
B18C2's are 170 & B18C7's are 200 rated fresh from the factory.
These 15 year old tired, leaky, smokey, oil burning engines won't be pulling those power figures anymore, so the "power difference" isn't so significant as you think.
The only real distinct advantage between the 2 is the type R gearbox, hence a lot of B18C7's for sale w/o the gearbox.
The B18C2, with the proper OEM parts combo, can be rebuilt to make the same, if not more power than the C7.
Lots of things distinguish the ITR from the rest of the pack. It's a genuine sports car, whereas most of the other Hondas we tinker with are really glorified grocery-getters.
Get the VTiR. They're still a good car and drive well. Interior has aged nicely too for a 90's vehicle. If you swap the GBox for a B16A2 unit it'll drive a lot better around the streets (IE sportier).
