Funny, it states 2Lt in the details section, then 2.5 lower down. Really nice looking car though. One thing that always worried me though, are the front mounted I/C's not susceptible to damage? Would they not get enough air with a grill in front of them? They always look as though the car hasn't been finished off properly to me.

.330bhp/430ft/lb Isn't that a high torque figure for a 2.0L?

That will be down to the gay 2.5 its got fitted

If it was a standard 2.0 JDM Spec-C engine, It would have sold a long time ago

To be fair some people will fit any old engine regardless to sell it on I'm surprised they haven't called it a 2.25 just to hedge their bets It's the right neck of the woods to be a fodged 2.5

Always on the look for a nice Spec C as this is one of the only cars that may re-light my car interest spark.
Still got the type R but not driven her since Oct 2011.
