just crashed my R
i know there's frame damage... but they said its repairable...
should i take it back? ( it had jdm front and i think i get it back)
or should i swap it into a EK hatch? how much would it cost to swap everything into a hatch?(engine, suspension, interrior, brakes, etc..)

Re: just crashed my R (type rizzy)
swap it. if your a do it yourself kind of person you will save some $$. but if you have a shop do it for you , be prepared to shell out some flow. you thought your R was quick, wait till u drop that in a ek hatch.
SPEC- R EK HATCH.

Find a clean VX chassis. Strip it bare and swap everything from your R. If you think you were fast before you ain't seen nothing yet!

Re: just crashed my R (rollin1)
ya I agree with the other people. Swap that thing into an EG chassis. The car responds so well when you put that kind of power into it, a vehicle like that with your 'R' motor will pull so hard, and you have so much extreme potential for further improvemnt it isn't even funny. Most people only get to dream about that, you can actually do it. I would!!!

Re: just crashed my R (type rizzy)
I like the EK setup. Depends on what year your R is. I would prefer the EK, but if is obd2 then you need a obd1 ecu my friend. Everyone here talkn some good stuff thou. My eg is off the hook with just a weight reduction(back seats, spare, and relocated battery in hatch. I could amagine a R motor in that for real. I Its going to cost more to get a EK , unless its a high mile on. Heres a red one, but i prefer black,silver or white, later....

Re: just crashed my R (mr.sleeper)

Re: just crashed my R (type rizzy)
putting my c5 into an EK hatch only makes my car a teeny bit faster than a real ITR doesn't it? if in which is true... i'm just gonna look for another ITR

Re: just crashed my R (type rizzy)
I think if you want it real fast, dump everything into an EG hatchback.. but if you want the looks of a CTR to go with the engine, and are willing to sacrifice a few splitseconds (i hear the EK hatch is a *little* bit heavier than the EG hatch) then i'd go for the EK. Of course if it was me, i'd go for the looks and grab an EK hatch 
Count yourself lucky, they don't sell EK hatchbacks where I live
