That front end makes it look like a nissan. I don't like it. Does it have any engine mods? How much hp?

Thats the stock Type R front end. Its a RHD Type R.
It had a stock Ls/Vtec motor in it. The car was sold a little while ago. It was a really fun car though.

I love the Type-R but driving it daily sucked ***. Being on the wrong side is cool for about 5 min and then it gets old. It would be great for a weekend car but not a daily.

It would be great if we lived in a place that you actualy drove on that side but being on the wrong side of everything sucked..

No paint booth. I just wait for a calm nice day and get to it. I do however have 2 big fans that pull the fumes out. Its not perfect but its all I got at the moment.

I got 2 paint guns at a pawn shop for 50 bucks. I started out painting body kits and small stuff. This was the first full car I painted. It came out really nice I think. It takes some practice and time to get the settings right on the gun but once you get it down its not that bad. Its the prep work and the buffing after that really sucks ***.

Not sure how much the compressor was. It was a gift. I see ones like it though go for around 500.
Laying the base cote is usually pretty easy. Its the clear that you really have to have the settings right and take your time.
