Do you mean limited edition as in the LE yellow car of the year version? Why do you want that specifically?

They weren't any different engine-wise than the other year models, so really you only need worry about manual / auto and whether it's mivec or not.

Best chance I reckon would be with a bent Version R ;) There's plenty more of them than the limited editions. They only made 500 of the limited Ed. & not that many made it out here.

if you need a motor I got one but you have to get pistons and rods for it and put it all back together :lol:
but I think it would be better just to get a half cut.

and lwrida do you think that any one could "borrow" it with out me seeing :lol: :twisted:

i THINK the motor needs to be younger than the car chasis for it to be engineered
