I get that and thats what should happen on a forum really, thats the point of having something like this to express our opinions, but when people say things like 'look around theres nicer examples' without ever actually seeing the car its a bit presumptious imo
I'm looking at Type-R's atm but i won't be in a position to buy one for at least a year, and I've recently been in contact with someone for one for cheaper, even though it was just window shopping.
As for cleaner example's, i think there are cleaner examples of most peoples cars, especially mine lol. And this forum saw only a month or 2 ago a member buy what i would consider a good example for only £2500 (obviously a ridiculous bargain).
I understand what you mean though, criticism is easy from afar.
It's usually the bottom end that lets go on these.The reasons are various,maf sensor going on them,badly modded cars that haven't been mapped to suit,ones that have been thrashed and neglected service wise.
Look for good service history on ones that have been in the uk a while.Most important that they've had the oil changed say every 5000 miles.I do mine every 5000 kms or just before the oil starts to lose its golden colour.
Don't be put off by one that's had a rebuild.Its nice if it's been done by someone reputable with receipts to prove.That way if you want to,you can call the builder for their opinion on the car.
Rebuild costs vary and can start from say £2800 to £3000 for sti parts up to astronomical if you want big power

Thank you for your answer, it solved me much questions. There are 2 type r that I am talking with. About on the same miles, one has rebuild and one has not. Which one would you prefer? I know it is general and depends on the engine but the one that has not, i think that it will need in while...
i know that you will curse me when you read that msg, but i am thinking of buying an evo 6 instead of the type r, that is because i read a lot of engine problems and i do not want to take a car and afraid about when it will have an engine problem, what is your opinion about this
if there was not that issue, i would have gone for the type r with closed eyes
After i asked you your chassis and engine number and you told me that you are concerned of giving it for clone reasons...did i replied you? i asked you if you are free on tuesday...and those e-mails where send by saturday morning and i did tell you that i will come, how you judged this...? i just asked you if you are free...
Or any reply now to either your email address, PM on here or via phone which I have given you my number for. Plus its now nearly midday and I haven't heard anything yet so you can see why perhaps I might not be holding my breath that you will turn up !
The type R only has issues with the engine because people dont carry out the right mods or push the hp way to far on standard internals, which is the same for the gearbox.
It will be the same with an evo or any other car out there, people want big hp but arnt willing to spend/carry out the right mods.
Owning a type R myself im obviously biased, theres no comparison between it and a crappy evo end off.
If you look after it do the right mods and stay within sensible hp limits for the parts the car is fitted with then your going to have a fantistic car that looks the muts nuts

Perhaps if your grasp of the English language was a bit better then there wouldn't have been this mis-understanding ?
Seems like you are just one of those dreamers who never actually buy a car, I'll see you over on the Evo forums yeah and you can mess them around too, joker !
On sunday you send me 2 msgs that i did not reply, and then you continue until today to send me msg, if you are so despreate to sell your car, is not my problem...
If i am a dreamer or not is my case, and can a moderator do something about his post? Should i start flaming also like him? Would that make the situation better?

Lol I have a friend like that.5 years ago I picked up an Evo he really wanted.For 5 years everytime he popped round he'd ask when I'm selling it.
This time last year I gave him first offer.Said he'd think about it,when 3 weeks later he decided not to.
I px'd it the next week and he went mad,saying he would've bought it.
He wants a type R now since I picked up this one and he's looked at a few but makes silly offers.
I don't know how his misses lives with him.
