Civic Type-R ready for gravel assault

JAS Motorsport is in the process of working over its Honda-sanctioned Civic Type-R for lucky, privateer rally teams. Details on the Group-A machine are scarce, but the company insists that the modifications made to the Civic will meet the FIA's standards through 2007.

JAS gives its customers the option of purchasing individual parts, incorporated kits or a full turnkey vehicle, manufactured by the company.

More pictures of the exterior, interior and engine bay are posted after the jump, and you can read up on a few more details by following this link over to the Temple of VTEC.

Tarmac is asphalt; gravel are small rocks...

Either way, that Civic looks the part.

Last time I looked, a turnkey FIA Group A spec rally car cost 400,000 U.S. just to build.

Those are so hot. And if I don't see one for a while the looks of the U.S. one start to grow on me, but every time I see one it makes me think the U.S. version looks like ass.

it was just a big shot in the dark with added hype

...but for real, this is the best i can find regarding price and what not:

tho i don't think that price includes the state-of-the-art sequential 6speed gearbox and adjustable preload differential/driveshaft/suspension.
