yeah I did some research and I can buy a whole new TYPE R motor from Japan for 3500 with less than 35,000 miles on it..or to rebulid LSVTECH its bout 4800.00 (parts plus maybe some labor) however this is all skunk 2 parts or at least what I Can get... I can do alot for a girl..but not all of it...either way im paying to take a motor out and put something back in.
