i thought there would be a new model coming out after FD2R??

[Philip Lee]

probably after the new civic is announced.

the press release just says the FD2R will end production in Aug.

they will also release a FN2R again in Japan in limited number in 3rd quarter 2010.

[Reclus]

i reckon FD2R is just a better car, in terms of performance, handling and look
just can't understand why would they do that

[Philip Lee]

most probably becos a new JDM civic is due soon.

fingers crossed there will be a Type R for the next gen.

[Reclus]

can't agree with u more philip

i'd sell my fd1 immediately and buy one of those if they do haha

[Perry]

Problem is will we get it in Australia?

[FallenAngel]

highly doubt it. Although we can always hope it does but only time will tell

[pair08]

if we don't, then it will eventually become avaliable via SEVS (as per EP3) CANT WAIT

[ej20i]

sad day!
LOL!
i heard that, FD2R will be the last civic R
since the crz - r is continuing its legend!

[e240]

ince the crz - r is continuing its legend!

But the real legends on Ozhonda are the EG civics!!!

[Stig]

if we don't, then it will eventually become avaliable via SEVS (as per EP3) CANT WAIT

doubt it lol

[Philip Lee]

Won't be available under SEVS unfortunately.

[curtis265]

nooooooo

i'm sad.

RIP FD2R

[Reclus]

ye we might probably have to say good bye to our dream car...

[ekdez]

makes me sad. i actually liked this shape of civic.

[Stig]

no worries, nothing an engine conversion cant fix :D

[Reclus]

you'll have to spend more than 30k to modify and then you'll have the 'exact' same car

but then the chasis is different, that's no way to mod..

[doma]

curtis265, i cant stop laughing at your avatar! sorry!!

It's just that this thread is about FD2R ending production and then I see your FD2 with the R spoiler in that colour!

RIP FD2R

[curtis265]

Hahah no worries man.

It's actually a FD1 with a evo wing, painted a similar colour (which u cant tell due to the phone camera quality)

edit: oh and it's not actually installed, just sitting on my boot.. gotta make that clear, lol

[JaCe]

Haha sounds like alot of speculation about this but it sure seems that way.

[curtis265]

can't wait for t he crzr

[Nairda]

As long as EU Honda doesnt release an inferior model to the JDM Type R i dont see why not.. I still have yet to see top gear test the FD2R and the mugen RR...hope they do it this season, there have been some photos of stig in the mugen FN2R.

[curtis265]

Sure it's the Stig or some random in a white racing suite with a rainbow facemask?

I doubt top gear will test the FD2R or mugen RR, i think they don't give a crap about what goes on in JDM land

they actually do as they went to JDM land for the GTRs etc.

but FD2R/RR will be old news now so very unlikely. they might do a FN2 Mugen20 tho.. let's hope...

[curtis265]

they went to the JDM land for the GTR because that was very eagerly awaited... the FD2R and FD2RR is like... no biggie

[Brian FD2R]

They went to JDM land as the GTR was eagerly awaited as it would be available in the UK where as the FD2R wouldnt.

[curtis265]

oh true!

fifth gear went to see the mugenRR :( why can't TG do it too?
