why does it have power steering still, but no abs? Does it have an upgraded lsd or did they actually remove it? I'd like to see a ctr race base.

About 50% cheaper since its missing about that much in parts, perfect for a track only car though.

Well in my case its a perfect deal, Buy a car fully stripped No Sound deadening, No Interior, No Underbody coating etc. Pull the one seat, install a cage & Race Seat along with all the safety equipment. Install a better LSD like a Mugen, Spoon, Kaaz, ATS etc.
Perfect Race Car for a good price.

Anyone know the difference in weight between this and a regular DC5R?

I wonder if you can get a LHD version. Probably not.

Wrong price and it doesn't take that long.

14-16K and Aprox 1-2 months to get here (Not to make)

OK So who wants a GB

PS Supposedly you can convert it to LHD easily, I was told the firewall is the same on LHD and RHD. I have not had a chance to check this out myself though.

Dunno about Japanese race series, but a lot of them in the US require ABS to be removed anyways.. if Japanese series are the say that's probably why the race base version does not have ABS.
