Type R Head included...so VTECH all the way! Specs indicate a fully tuned motor with injectors and toda cams Smiley Looks like you won't need any engine or suspension work.

It would be a nice project car given the price, if you don't mind the history of the body (ie: collisions if any) and original kms. The ultimate dealbreaker would be the testdrive and the smile you get after. If you've owned honda vtech engine before, it would be nice to get back to one.

B20 is from CRV. Type R head from B18C3 mated with B17 5speed. P06 is a non vtec ecu....but it stated chipped and tuned. So ask that.

The thing with hybrid head/block, oil leak is very common. Also check the common cancer of Honda/acrua for rear quarter panel for rust. Check windows seals and trunk for leaks. Also what wheels it will come with?

Overall this car will be around for a long time. Just insurance might be a tag higher compare to similar year compact. And far from the prerequisites of being collector.

Dang, I was tempted to get this car, but deep down, I want a NA Miata.
My only concern would be the condition of the body (rust in the rear fender and 1/4 panels)
