Civic Type R - Anyone gonna get one of these?
 

Anyone gonna buy one of these things? :norty:

Litchfield Imports

Seen that a few weeks ago and is impressive. I used to have a 5dr Civic 1.8VTi-S which was fun and practicle. That new Type-R is a good all round package and is looking like a favourite to replace my Impreza with.

I want, I want....but not enough mula

very interested in one of these.

The uk dealers swear blind its the same car as the japs, they atcheive there bhp figures on higher octane juice and nothing else.

The uk hatch looks better i think

But it is a fact that the dealers of any car marque know nothng about the cars they sell. I've had a Ford dealer tell me the Ford Racing Puma had the 2L Zetec in it (b*llocks) and a Mazda salesman tell me that the RX-* PZ (Prodrive version) was more powerful than the standard car (again, b*llocks).

I do like the look of the JDM Civic, however £23k is a lot for a Civic though.

Looks good! :thumb:

I've found one for a bit less than £23k. It's a "pre-reg" one but it's a big saving and is tempting!

2007 Civic Type R JDM Spec for Sale

Steve

Don't listen to UK dealers, they don't their arse from their elbow. JDM CTR is very different. Has a proper suspension setup on the rear rather than the torsion beam setup of the UK car.

The differences in the engine spec of the previous CTR (EP3) between a JDM and UK car was loads. JDM car had longer duration cams, larger inlet manifold, 4-2-1 exhaust manifold, higher CR.

JDM cars are superior in many ways.

How much would a UK car cost OTR ?

Check Litchfields, they know.

Im a senior salesman for Honda and a Product Champion (means im supposed to know everything about everything Honda) for my dealership.

Dont Tar us all with the same brush but yes i agree, not all car salesmen are car buffs like us.

The engine is the same as the UK market civic but the ECU has be fettled with in accordance with the higher RON fuel.

Those look pretty good if only to be different from the crowd (at least in Swindon lol)

I once got told that the EP3 CTR was the fastest Honda ever, faster than the NSX!! That was in Braylake now Brayley Honda in St.Albans. Needless to say that the guy isn't there anymore. He was supposed to be some sort of senior sales or parts specialist or something. Oh and he didn't seem to believe there was an EK CTR..even though mine was parked outside!

Didnt they use one of these as the safety car in last weekends Canadian GP for a few laps ?

If anyone gets one of these, you gotta get some pictures on here!! :norty: :norty:

i must stick up for cragie he does know a thing or 3 about his hondas n vauxys ,, hoping he knows a lot about scoobs too since im about to jump in on the game LOL :luxhello: :luxhello:

Yes i saw that, after the big smash, it was replaced by a merc once the pace picked up though if i remember rightly.

LMAO!!! :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:
