Bad news
So i sold my R a year and some change ago, totally clean, no mods, original owner bla bla, cleanest one you could find at the time i sold it...anyways it was stolen from the new owner a few months ago, totally stripped and engine found in an impounded civic or something...
Its a shame, a clean example of a R gone...but at the end thats why i sold it, i couldnt stand the threat of theft...

Re: Bad news
was expecting to read about a blown motor, this is much worse
sorry to hear that.
for some reason scum bags are attracted to EG's and that puts ITR's at major risk

That blows! It's a shame that even after 15 years (timeline based when the 97 Type R was introduced) we still have to keep a hawk eye on our vehicles due to the theft threat. Sad to hear about the loss!

Re: Bad news
My believe - for a lot longer! Thinking about it - pretty competitive from the factory, easy to modify, readily available parts, big aftermarket support, a vast number of parts interchangeable between different models/years, it's a piece of history, and you can drop a newer (K-series) engine without too much hassle thus allowing you to keep the vehicle realiably in service for longer. What are the cons to this vehicle? Not many! Thumbs up for the vehicle itself...thumbs down for the worries!!

Re: Bad news
This was always my biggest fear with my R. Never left my sight. When it couldn't be in a garage it was always blocked in by several vehicles in my driveway.
