Default Total R Sleeper!

I know a guy with a white type R. This guy realllly likes the idea of being a sleeper. He put gsr brakes and 4-lug hubs on his R with 14" steelies. he took off his wing and front lip. looking at his car, it looks like a base model integra from the outside. to downgrade his engine bay, he put on a black valve cover so unexpecting gsr owners wouldnt know what hit 'em. what do you guys think of that setup? could there be any negative effects to the 4-lugs as compared to the 5-lugs? overall, I like his car especially since he could run 14s for track days.

I saw the car before he did anything to it so I know its an R. also, the main reason he did it was to make some money for his next car payment. (he sold his stuff off the R and had all the other parts given to him by friends)

If you want to get tecnical. It still won't look like a GSR, he still has to put the sun roof on, and then change his interior, lose the wing and font spoiler, and then swap the exaust. Then it might look like a GSR, if they don't think color matters.

That's even more retarded...if he can't afford an R then why buy one and degrade to make the money back...tell him to stop destroying a perfectly good car and sell it to someone who can take care it it right!!

Well, downgrading the brakes wasn't such a hot idea.

And since stock LS's get stolen too I don't see the point. Oh well.

Why downgrade the engine? Do riceboi's not notice the B18C5 tagged on the motor?

LOL. he sold the engine, the suspension, lip and wing because he needed money? he shoulda just bought a gs-r and built that up. way more cost effective and still can be a sleeper along with loads of time saved from raping his R
