jesus.. where on earth did you find that type R? let me know if you ever want to sell it!!

before i bought my S2000, i found a cherry '97 in Chicago for 13K.. i was really close to pulling the trigger, but didn't do it.

Nice selections.


I'd love to have a Type-R just like that one.

1:17:23. I think with some fresh tires 16's are there.

Dynoed at 300 whp. (car has basic bolt-on's) Tires are Toyo RA-1's 255/40/17. I definitely need more tire under the car. I am ditching the Ra-1's gonna try something different. I need to lose some weight aswell. She weighs 3150 with out me.

welcome! yeah, looks like i won't be beating you at the next time attack! nice to see you picked up some time.

type r is my fav out of your selection. looks mint!

you should come run PIR with the evo sometime!

[wgnths]

oh, and what tires are you going to try? the nt01's are much better than the ra1's. or maybe try out the r888. im trying out the bfg r1 next.

So far I have ran Nt-01's and the RA-1's. I must say out of the box the NT-01's are way faster than RA-1's (full tread). I think I am going to try the R888's next. I would love to run the BFG's but they are a little out of my budget.

A clean, stock, white Type-R. I didn't know you could find those anymore. Definitely hang onto that!

yeah, i agree. im gonna run the bfgs for a few fast laps and time attack, each event. then slap some nittos or r888's on for the rest of the sessions.
