Hmmm, not a very competitive autocross car as advertised. I think I'll pass.

It's a Type-R... in stock shape it's a great car for track events and autocrosses. Sorry it's not gutted with a cage, tires that will last 10 days, with no A/C.

Actually, it's the non-stock parts you list which make it uncompetitive:


Cam sprockets - hellow brutal autocross class
Springs: Hello difficult autocross class.

Return it to stock, and then it's a good autocross car...

It doesn't need to be gutted, it just needs to be prepped within the rules. I assume you have the stock springs and cam gears in a box, so they can be sold with the car?

I can put the stock cam gears back in in under an hour, and the springs... you can have.

My point was that you make the car out to be totally uncompetitive because theres about an hour and a half worth of putting 2 parts back to stock on the car... big deal.

You tell me whats more important to most people. Finding a car mechanically in sound shape, low miles, with a perfect body...

Or having to go through the HASSLE of swapping springs out one afternoon.

Not true... you can run and win STX with aftermarket springs in an R...

Dude, that is a one sweet-*** R. So as long you got the stock parts you'll be ok, although it would be a good idea to return the car to stock before selling it. Good luck!
