aye, common problem, you get violent shakes from your license as it quivers in the back of your wallet. Could be misconstrued as road vibration.

check it's history & if yer tormenting previous owner check what fuel he's been running it on as type R's dont like much other than top dollar optimax & if possible booster too or a retune of course. Erm can't think of too much beyond wot you'd ususally check for but it does have a few extra toys such a adjustable diff you'd wana check work & also havent resulted in nasty back end out crashes lol Seriously thou tiz a mucho extreme & lush scoob if in doubt or u aint confident with either yer abilities or the cars appearance get it checked by a specialist i'm sure u wana spend all money on a decent car rather than testing it but mistakes now WILL COST YOU LARGE!
