Unfortunately the importers have to deal with import duties and VAT which brings the price up a bit. Overall though RC products are more expensive in Europe and that has to do with the crazy taxes that your governments charge and that I hate to say is not something that we can do anything about. What I will tell you though is while the V-Spec is a great engine I think that you will find that the B5 has more power overall and will last quite a bit longer to boot! So in the long run it might be the same price but you will end up getting more for your money.
