yeah, its hard to find an R in CA. R's are rare n pricey. I thought the miles where high too but its from the dealer you know. Makes it a little bit safer than normal. Plus if i overdrive my car to hell and Mess up the engineAcura fixes it for me (no charge)...i just gotta find a way to commute so i dont have to use my R that much.BUS!!!! also i have one question. Is the R's made load stock. My car seems like it wants to race in every speed range and RPm. normal.

Be Careful!!! Most people seem to wreck their Rs when they first get them. Its natural to test a new car's limits the best place to test and learn the car,if you can stand it, is the autocross meet.

Gotpho408- That JDM cluster that goes to 180 is not in miles but KMS.

No they will not. Misshift and the massive repair bill is your problem.

also i have one question. Is the R's made load stock. My car seems like it wants to race in every speed range and RPm. normal.
What?

Good to hear that. An AEM typically runs about $200. Learn your car's limits in a safe environment. *cough* autocross *cough*
