Default Will i or wont i??(possible new car)

thinking of trading my car for this???





new car





its a 99 version 6 the same as mine but obviously a type r with less milage than mine.had a look at it today and its fairly mint apart from the front bumper that needs to be painted.now just a couple of questions,

i have a few bits done to my own such as a full de cat down pipe etc..will that go onto the type r if i take it off my old one before i trade??
also i got a tek 3 map only a few weeks ago,can my ecu be taken out and fit in the type r so i can just get a map tweak for the new car or is it just hassle??

the type r already has a decat up to the downpipe and a mint set of speedline wheels on it plus a few other bits and pieces so il be selling them if i get the car and putting my turinis on it resprayed white which i think would look the part..

any help or suggestions appreciated..

deco.

hey Deco its AndyC from ISDC. You want to go type R route. You wont be disappointed.

Be careful of Southside Automotive though. Not heard good stories about their cars.
