def agree..my cousin has a c5 powered civic coupe with a gsr header and civic stock exhaust and he still hit 14.8 at around 90mph.....and about the finger of god...its more like the banshee scream of hell....he pulled 1car length when he hit vtec in 3rd gear agasint my stock msp....he just put on his dc posrt c5 jdm setup with the 2.5" dump and a apexi exhaust....wonder how he will do agaisnt my turbo back and 10 psi im setting up now ?!?!? anyway beast car, alot of ppl compare the msp handling too it so u aint goin far formt he boat...but the motor is a torqueless monster, dont expect traffic passin driveablity unless u sit at vtec change over ur entire commute.....
I'm not sure what you owe currently, but putting 2k down and buying for 20k, means you owe 16k or so. The interest rate on the Type R will be higher since it is an older car and you would need a 5 year loan. In the end, you will end up the same plus the Type R is modified meaning that someone didn't drive it like a grandma for 3+ years.

How much would you be willing to spend?

And Muohio, you are right too, I was just figuring it out a little bit with the pops because he is better at that s*** then I am and he said that the interest rate for me to get a loan would be around 5 to 6 percent and the loan would be for around 3 years. But I am going to get some hard numbers tomarrow.

You know I am very curious as to what this sound would be like. The banshee scream of hell, that sounds sweet. But yea it would be weird not having the feel of torque as I do now. But s***, having 8400 redline would be very nice.

word... a car with mods has a HIGH chance of being beat on, so you need to be careful to find out if some punk ass kid beat the s*** out of it, and his parents are just buying him a new rsx. my two cents is, be weary of a fast honda, because we've all heard the horror stories of what drivers do to their cars trying to impersonate a drift video or gt3mspeed101 said:
Type-Rs are a theft magnet, and the insurance is a b**** because of that. B18c5s sell real well, stolen or not. People will pay top dollar for a pair of type R seats, 5lug wheel conversion, front lip, ect.... Just watch your back and always park that s*** inside.
recaros aren't in the usdm versions i believe. only jdm versions.
and hitting 13s with i/h/e on a type r? that's highly unlikely.
i've always loved honda, since my first civic (stolen)... and still consider myself a honda-naturally aspirated-guy at heart. type rs are awesome cars.. get it, you'll never regret it. think of it this way: you'll be joining the elite few in the US to have that car. good luck with whatever you choose.

You can always refinance your current car with a new financial institution that has a lower APR than what youre paying now. You can even extend the payment schedule over a longer period of time to drop your monthly payments. I'd keep the MSP though.

Itr
Dude, really think this over. The ITR is car created for pure driving pleasure, ( only when driven hard ). I wouldn't worry about the engine being too abused, just make sure that everything underneath is in good condition and nothing is bent from an accident. The motor can withstand lots of stress. For the engine, just listen for a smooth idle, if it's not idleing smooth, then it may have internal damage, but most of those ITR engines are very strong and can take LOTS of hard driving, ( not abusive driving ).
I had the chance to get one when i was shopping for my Speed. It had an extensive amount of mods and slightly higher miles, along with lots of JDM goodies. I passed it up because i needed 4 doors and because it's a fuggin THEFT MAGNET. Please be aware that this car deems lots of attention from the wrong people, and theives will get it, if they want it, ( which they will want ). They will come after this car, if parked outside, in rain, sleet, snow, day or night. If you don't beleive me, log on to Honda-Tech and browse the Type-R forum, or do a search for the last year and see how many ITR's or for that matter, modded GSR's or hatchbacks were stolen.
Good luck, and Buyer Beware........
