    Not a Type R but race car!

    Doddle has hit the nail on the head, a C4 is a close second to a C6 at 25% the cost! Even with 170hp that will be a rather noticeable increase of power over a D14! :p

    Not a Type R but race car!

    Good luck with the project. If you're doing this on a budget I wouldn't bother with the C6, you'd be better off with a C4 and some cams (save on the Type R tax).

    Honda CR-Z to make comeback with 280bhp Type-R engine

    I also now have a CR-Z GT, which is far from a drivers car. It does however offer bags of comfort, and costs very little to run (£20 tax, £190 insurance and 45~60MPG).

    Honda CR-Z to make comeback with 280bhp Type-R engine

    The Type R badge was born with the NSX in '92. Mk2 CRXs ceased production beforehand. The Mk3 (or del slo) was a fat posers car and certainly didn't deserve an R badge. Both Mk2 and Mk3 CR-X's had a UK VT(i) and a Japanese siR version which were considered the most driver focussed variants. The...

    I'm fairly certain that it wasn't 'recorded' damage so I wouldn't be suprised if the garage knew nothing about it. As I said it was fairly minor damage, it's not a bad car, just overpriced. And I'm in no doubt that both Ross and Adam would of maintained and serviced it to a high standard.
