QUOTE (spolski07 @ Sep 9, 2008 - 10:52 AM)  but since the Type-R was marketed as a race car for the street, most owners didn't mind. The seats were also unique to the Type-R. Standard were weight saving Recaro racing seats just because its marketed that way, doesnt mean it is one. i think the evo and sti have some sports car cred considering they are both used in rally racing. banging around your home track doesnt count as racing.... (nor does auto cross) Toyota MR2? RWD 2 seater. power...(sorta) This post has been edited by devilsden97: Sep 9, 2008 - 10:06 AM -------------------- Kawi Love |
