Lovely car mate

Once again, thanks for the comments guys 038/300, it's definitely a good decision to make. From what I understand the v3 type r is the most raw experience, I had an x reg turbo 2000 before this and this is light years ahead. The only thing I have found is when the DCCD is rolled back all the way, it can be a pretty lively car on the rear. The DCCD however is brilliant once you learn how to use it but you really have to be a top notch driver to extract the maximum performance from a type r, which I really am not haha. The close ratios of the gear box are brilliant when you find the right road, and steep slip roads become a rapid dash to 70mph. Get one, you won't regret it
