I recently purchased a 2000 PY Type R from a friend of mine. I have included a list of all the mods/upgrades done to the car. The car is arriving in the next couple of weeks from California. Dyno says 215whp and 146wtq. Does all the stuff listed seem pretty good. Most if not all the upgrades came after 45K. Car currently has 52K on it. I paid 16200 USD including shipping, oil change and detail. I was told that the upgrades were around 15K USD. So is the price fair for a car with all the extras. He also is including almost all the stock parts. So perhaps I could sell some of those off? I look forward to discussing more about the car using this forum. Thanks in advance for your intelligent and gentle responses. I posted a picture of the front of the car... the actual car is featured on some website.

seems like a well put together car. assuming it runs well and everything is in working order, i'd say you got a good deal on the car.

Get a different header and exhaust.

Other than that, it would seem you got yourself a fine ride.

Welcome to H-T. Now lets see some pics.....

why? it is totally unneccessary for that setup.

 

The previous owner probably overpaid for that Comptech stuff, but it's decent. 215 WHP on a Dynojet (presumably) is a very healthy number for 5.5 PSI. Hondata is one of the good ways to tune a car, although can be difficult come emissions time.

Overall, sounds like a super bargain, congrats

How do you get so much hp and torque out of your engine?

 

Turbo. They make a lot more power than superchargers. Superchargers are nice and linear though.

New dyno on built motor (more to come, stay tuned..)

.... when they wear out or crack. I wouldn't toss them simply because they're slotted!

Autozone rotors (cheap) are the best bang for the buck for track use.

 

for any use. street/track/garage queen/etc.

chris - who say crack and immediately thought "did i miss the 5 o'clock free crack giveaway????" :scratches neck:

NAAAWWW dude. Where'd you hear that, from Miss Information?

I ran slotted rotors on another street car for 6 years no issues. I still run crossdrilled rears on the ITR because I'm too lazy to change them.

Drilled = bad for anything where they'd heat up. too many places for cracks to form.

Slotted = Unnecessary but fine. Some people like them to keep glazing down on the brake pads themselves, but they wear brake pads faster *shrug*. Can't be machined, but who cares since Autozone Rotors are so cheap.

Christopher John,

I said unneccesary. You said replace them [get rid of them].
