i just bought a 1998 Type R with JDM front end and the JDM b18C motor... i wanna hear some of ur suggestions on what to do to it. THAT DOESNT INCLUDE BODY KITS!!!

 

why does it have a JDM motor?

 

Learn to drive it

 

i dunno the guy before me put it in

 

i just purchased an 01 type r and the first thing i did was changed the suspension cause the one that was on it wasn't the stock type r suspension. i noticed it at the dealership that i purchased it at but i knew i could just change the suspension. i also put a comptech ice box on my car too. i've had my car for about 2 months and those are my mods so far. i guess it depends on what route your gonna go too to determine where your going to start. but if you have the stock suspension drive it for a while to see if you like the set up...you might like it just fine and want to keep everything stock..haha..good luck

 

i tihnk he was trying to do a full JDM conversion from the USDM model... =/

 

Crane cams
holley double pumper
FF model kit
hyperlights
no cat
and flowmaster exhaust

oh, and some hpde's

 

One of the first this you should do is Get a garage and a good alarm system.
Oh then have fun and drive the car, no need to upgrade right off the bat.

 

Jun Cams, and cwest bumper. That's what I'll do, actually that's what I'm planning to do to mine.

 

the first thing we should do is trade front ends. then we'll see where can go fro there

 

Some first simple mods that will give you some hp are things like intake, and a 2.5" header and cat. Since your name is "still_learning" heh, you should do just that and learn to enjoy the car stock, then later add some mods if you feel neccesary.

 

you don't need a jdm motor to do that...

 

What's wrong with stock suspension? ITR stock suspension can still handle better than a lot of cars with aftermarkets.

 

i know f*ck the bullshit... damn type R thiefs. i hate having to worry about it all the time... i wanna get an alarm equiped with a flamethrower! GRRRR

 

i made this name about a year ago and ahve been learning about imports the whole time... ive known how to work on muscle cars before this so im not stupid . thanx for the advice i plan on enjoying it!! w00t

 

if all you care about is going faster straight, you got the wrong car.

 

its not... dont worry i want to work on it to make it faster it build more of a connection with the car

 

but what else do u guys suggest?

 

You can get those in South Africa - not sure if you can import them though

 

haha do they have that kinda education?

 

 

yup i plan on it... just need a few months

oh yeah i know that the itr stock suspension is great, if the itr i purchased had it i wouldn't have changed it but i guess the previous owner changed out the suspension with different ones cause the springs were black and i was told stock type r springs are red with white stripes or vice versa. the springs that were on there when i first purchased the itr made my itr look like it could go four wheeling..haha

 

i ahve been thinking about turboing it... this wont be done till many mods are done before it... any suggetions on turbos?

 

You just got the damn car. Why don't you drive it for a while and learn to like it?

Then get some Recaros like me
