My brother is looking to but a new car and he wants either a gs-r or an R...the problem is he lives in Atlanta and every time i go onto honda tech, i always hear type r's are ALWAYS gettin jacked. My brother wants an R sooo bad he only considered the gs-r b/c hopefully with it only being a gs-r, people wont be so quick to jack it. He has a daily driver and the r will be garage kept to but are these cars REALLY hard to keep safe?

 

they will steal that car too if they wanted. if he has a garage. and puts a good security system on it, then he should be good to go.

 

i hate to break it to you but no matter where you live people are going to try to jack your R

get an alarm and FULL COVERAGE so if someone takes it your gettin paid

 

depends on what he wants to do with the car.

 

I think owning between a GS-R or a Type R wont being any different when it comes to theft. Although, when you have a GS-R parked right next to a Type R sure they'll jack the Type R first.

everything....that car will be fully built and it will look bad ***....hopefully

Of course it will have fulll coverage and a very nice alarm but, it will be a waste of money if it gets stolen, but he has his heart set on an R...

 

that's why you get good insurance. and it's not wasting money on a car,

even if it's stolen.. it'll be more than worth the time you have it.

 

get the R, get the new low jack early notice, and get an alarm system/removable steering wheel/clutch lock/club/fuel cut off to slow them down while you pick the weapon of your choice

 

The ITR would in no way be a waste.

besides, insurance is around for a reason

 

if he wants to learn to drive well and roadrace/auto-x then go for the R. if he just wants a car that's fast, then go for the gsr.

 

if he has a garage and a beater car.... just add a good alarm system and he should be fine.....

i say he should get the R

 

Most def. on the aRRR

 

if he just wants a car to <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by crxpowr92 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">

then i would say the gsr. he would be happier w/ a bolt on turbo and a body kit then spending the exta $$ on the R.

ditto!

 

y e s

 

Either are very likely to get stolen. In Atlanta I dont hear too much about car theft (KNOCK ON BIG FUGGIN PIECE OF WOOD) but GSRs are just about a big a target as Hype Rs....

What kind of driving does he want to do? If mainly street driving, GSR is way more comfortable....if track/autox go ITR all da way.

 

I would get the R (given the garage & beater).

GPS Alarm, kill switches, auto-locks, and being paranoid are good ideas as well

 

At this point and time, I would even consider buying a type r.

NO! Go away!
P.S. I only read the first few lines of your original post.

 

I say get it, its just a nice ride. People want to jack G-SRs as much as they wanna jack type Rs. Just get a 00' or 01' with immobilizer and top of the line security system. Don't even worry about it, if its garaged them youll be safe. Just my opinion.

 

I would get a Type R for sure... Theres something called insurance also

 

get the R but only use it when your going to be neer it that means no movies no mall when your driving the R thats the beaters job

 

i had my GSR jacked on 9-22-03 man it sucks but i got an R ITR now its a badass car i love it i got a civic to drive everyday but i try to keep the R in the garage as much as possable and you better throw out the cash for a real good alarm or tracking system to be on the safe side hell some ins. co. will save you some $ if you have all that stuff on it

but yea get the R its a great car he'll love it but you got to keep an eye on it when its out and about

if my brother gets the R it will be a track/autox car and of course hes gonna pimp that **** too of course it will have full coverage and and alarm and what not but i just dont even think he should waste his time or money if its gonna be stolen but **** thieves; my brother isnt gonna let them stop him from getting an R....thanks for everyones help!

 

[QUOTE=crxpowr92]


and of course hes gonna pimp that **** too Hell no he will pimp that **** out. Thats just a waste of money pimping out cars. The R is not made for putting neeto body kits on it. Just work the motor and leave the exterior plain.
