00 Type R vs. 5th Gen VTI-R

I'd say go the R, you could solve the problem of your exfriend having one by doing a JDM front conversion??? then again even if you want a pimpin car a mega dropped R doesn't look that bad (at the sacrifice of handling, but you still got the power)...

Then again I think many ppl here underestimate the H22As potential, a decently worked H22A with the right mods

can give the R a run for it's money. after all it is 360cc more to work with

I loved my R to bits... i can't talk about it highly enough - and i really always disagree with people who say its rough, uncomfortable etc... sit in a mini moke and then decide what creature comfort is.

It's a bloody hard choice!!

5th VTI-R is 'nice' - drives good and is smooth and fast enough, has VTEC and definately has the sexy look. However, at the moment, a Type R with weight reduction, and modded to the shithouse (well, only the basics, CAI, exhaust, ECU, Cam and maybe drive shaft etc) is definately me.

Anyone in Brisbane have a modded Type R? Well, at least CAI and exhaust? I would love to be taken for a quick drive to here what she sounds like (cos I know it'll be HOT). PM me if you could be soo nice. I'm Brisbane Southside (and Westside)
