SVA imports, DCY, New era imports

You may need to add a few quid to get a minted low mileage one though

Yeah sva seem to have the best choice out there, If i had a v5 Type R would it need mapping for uk fuel or could i run it safe on v power?

Will need a map. You never know what ECU they have when imported. Mine had an Apexi

Give API a call. They have a very nice "Blue" Type-R (I think it is a V Limited, not sure though). It has circa 38k miles on the clock. Very nice.

Yes it's a V-ltd. Check out SVA' website then you will get an idea of cost.

I wonder who did the engine build and the parts used. If it is a block capable of the magic 600hp...well who knows.

Boost not working right. Found the Apexi boost control was off when mapped

Brembo Grand Tursimo brakes - Discs warped - Still got to get new discs from godspped

Dent in boot lid that i didn't see - Now sorted by the clinic

Coilovers clanking and banging - Being sorted now

Gearbox a bit difficult when changing down from 5th to 4th - Not a massive problem and to be sorted - Not a major job.

Genrally pretty good for a 11year old car.

It has got some good mods on it to i.e. Apexi, Bistein coliovers, Zero sport anti rollbars, air intake & intercooler shoroud. Prodrive P1 alloys, equal lengthh headers 3.5" exhaust with sports CAT

They also sorted a lot of things before i picked it up.
