Yeah, sure.
Then you need a completely new suspension.
New LCA's
New Sway Bars
New Struts
New Springs
New Guage Cluster
New Hubs (5 Lug)
New Calipers
New Rotors
New Transmission
New LSD

Anything else guys?

Isn't the body pannels staped different for more strength? Strip sound dampening. I think frame may be more reinforced too.

You can bolt on a motor, suspension, tranny, dash, seats, door panels, bumpers, lip, sideskirts, wheels, etc...

And youll still be left without an ITR. You'll need the frame, then you can build from there. There is no way to make an ITR out of an LS.

Do whatever you want to it, it'll still be an LS after you're done.

5 lug conversion but as long as you have the moonroof, nobody will be fooled.

The thing about the type r is that unlike a lot of "ricers" honda takes the red r very seriouly and puts a lot of money into just the type r model. They put 3 billion into the new dc5 r! They are one of the few that don't just put a sticker on it and call it good but take the time to develope it and set it apart.
