Thoughts on this Type R - Any obvious "stay away" issues? Right Price?


Recommended Posts

!998 = v4 not v6.

Should have ej20k motor not 207..

Dodgy 5th gear is going to cost money soon..

Alloy bonnet not body..

All v4 type r\'s come with air bags ,not rare at all..

Why bother fitting front mount and not hook up..Ummm..

Does have nice wheels though..

A general rule with cars on TM... If there\'s a discrepancy in the listing, then who knows what else is being covered up..

You do the math :)

It\'s had the bogan wand waved over it that\'s for sure. Fine on the surface but things like the wanky corner lights, extra sti badges and fake intercooler paint a picture I guess

Could be perfectly fine just look very closely at things like how good the gearbox, clutch etc feels. A rebuild 50,000km ago doesn\'t mean f-all either

I personally wouldnt be using the fmic Id replace it before plumbing it up. Who knows if it was bunged up or what.

Sure Ive seen the arse end of it at lights and looked nice but that doesnt tell you much about the car.

Looks like an okay car but as with all cars you don\'t know until you drive it. The mistakes he\'s made with the facts in the auction shows he doesn\'t exactly know what he\'s talking about 100%

ie: A syncho not being a major (it will be if you have to fix because you loose 5th)

See if he has any service history from after the rebuild etc. and TRY BEFORE YOU BUY.

Hi all,

Looking at purchasing this vehicle. I think i\'ll get a check done on it; but from you experienced guys, what are you initial thoughts?

Any help/tips/advice/feedback would be greatly appreciated!

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
