what up guys , i recently picked up a 2000 type r with 24000 miles on the odo , i had a 2000 ex with a b16 swap and a whole bunch of **** on it , i ended up putting the civic into a guardrail at 80 mph thank god i was fine but my car was a ****** mess nothing in the front could be salvaged . so i told my friends at honda to find me an 00 si or something like it . so they found this type r , and obviously you all know what my reaction to that was , so i scooped it up the very next day . blah blah blah , anyways i wanted to say whats up to everyone and try and find out what the hell i should do to this R , if anyone could throw some ideas out6 to em that would be great , peace - 00-501itrspec

 

My suggestion:

Dont put it into another guardrail

 

Go thru the searches I'm sure you will find lots of stuff. Welcome. Pics of the car???

 

all motor. keep the usdm front end, and keep it clean

 

honestly, don't mess around too much in the R as i personally don't think it is very forgiving. also, keep her away from the thieves. good luck with your experience.

the stock itr is noob proof, not moron proof, however.

Compared to what? A 250cc shifter kart?

Its very easy to drive at the limit, especially when setup 'loose'.

 

Your in New York? Spend lots of money on theft prevention-layer your security. Make sure your insurance is up to snuff. Then perhaps some HPDE's.

 

PLease use the FAQ as much as possible, NYer???
and It seems RJ and I don't agree once again- For a person who send their previous car into a guard rail I would not tell them "Its very easy to drive at the limit, especially when setup 'loose'." Its like a kid who shot himself in the foot with a .38 last week, now you hand him a .45 and say that these are really easy to shoot straight.

Anyway... where are the mandatory pics for intro posts!
Welcome and enjoy your stay.
