Thrashed the pants off your old whip and need something newer to cart your JDM-loving ass around in? You might want to give US parts manufacturer Skunk2 a call, as they've just recently put their 190fwkW EP3-based "Civic RR" onto the used car market. The price? A mere 17 Gorillas.

For the price, this car is top-notch and features some primo hardware to boot: Deep within the bowels of its K24 beats four Wiseco pistons with a compression ratio of 11.0:1, forged Cunningham rods and Skunk2 cams, valves and valve springs - all crowned by a ported Skunk2 head. Peak power is 190kW at 7600rpm, while peak torque is 258Nm at 6000rpm.

Skunk2 have also stamped their mark all over the rest of the car too. There's Skunk2 adjustable coilovers and strut bars bolted up to the suspension towers, while a trick Skunk2 quick-release steering wheel helps you get in and out with minimal fuss and also impresses da laydeez. Front brakes are by Brembo, seats and harnesses are by Sparco and there's a full Civic Type R bodykit on the outside to keep the fanboys happy. Suffice to say, whoever winds up buying this car is going to get some serious value for money - Volk CE28s don't come cheap, and this thing is rocking 18s!

Anyway, there's more info on Skunk2's site here. If you think you've got enough of the folding stuff and some spare space in your garage, give Skunk2 a call on 951 808 9888 and arrange a meeting.
