Type r version 4 isn't it? I have one of these great cars very quick with a few mods. 280bhp standard with dccd. Gearboxes are not the strongest but are good for 330bhp. I see it has the low spoiler on it too. Easily the best classic after the 22b!

headers
vf34 turbo
full 3" exhaust no cats
apexi management or equivalent
fuel pump
injectors etc

would prob see you at 330bhp and with the vf34 a very quick road car.
I think the spoiler is standard but i prefer the bigger wings. dccd can make it from 4wd to rear or 60/40, 70/30. Basically it just splits the power between the wheels.

I would be careful of buying a import that has not been mapped for our fuel and has just been driven around for some period of time on the uk's 99Ron. how long has it been in the country and what mods have been done to it?
