Your so right bro, exactly. :thumbsup:

[iaquinta]

Massive CF Intake right there...

Good to know that Type R is going back to its roots. DSG almost marks a new manual system for this generation of Honda sports cars.

but... will we get this?

[PaZzMaN-R]

THATS WHAT IM ***EN TALKING ABOUT!!!!

that sould be the base model:)

[EK4R]

OMGOMOGMG!!!

now we r talking!!

thought i doubt it will be made available in AUS.

atleast now we know why White isnt a option colour for the standard Type R. hehe

[Zdster]

but... will we get this?

I almost fell on the floor laughing at that comment :zip:.

[yourfather]

[Spicey]

[SPEEDCORE]

LOL @ roof scoop!

Looks like a limp dick! :thumbdwn:

[nugget666]

wowa nice engine bay looks really small though?

[dreamshifter]

193kw - more power than an s2000!
Plus its lighter so can it possibly beat an NSX? which would be heavier with the 3.0L engine and not that much more power.

Sounds a tad too good to be true...hope april fools jokes aint still looming around...

[Encor3]

i doubt it'll come here. but i hope it does (checks bank account.... :( )

[Perry]

the Cf intake isnt stock for sure I remember seeing it somewhere ages ago its custom thats for sure, but this R does land Aus woooow

[kn1ghtm4r3]

oh now thats wat im talking bout =)

[jeffske]

why do they continue to tease us, we will never see that beast here...ever

[vertex_s15]

looks freaking tough, fatter and tougher than ep3

[EuroAccord13]

Woah! Costing almost 65ooo pounds in the UK... That would make it around AUD$155ooo!! !! !!

Better start saving really hard!

[yfin]

Remove the bonnet clips and that stupid roof scoop and it would look good!

[NeoNode]

[Type-X]

[NeRV]

roof scoop and bonnet pins definitely needs to go, but the rest of the package looks nice

[sitta]

tarmac prep.

we will never see it just the nsx-r

[preludacris]

true Type R , deserves the 2nd R, makes me so happy , but the price tag is about 3 times too steep .. lol

its good to know at least its there, even if we wont own one.

[EfiOz]

Yes, it's built as the new Group R/Super2000 rally homologation model.

http://www.compsystems.com.au/News/pr010407.htm

It's actually built and developed by JAS in Italy. Stefano says that their first tarmac tests put them on a par with a current Group N 4WD car.

Perfect weapon for Targa!!

C'mon, it's only 75,000 Euro..........

[panda[cRx]]

looks very tough...when the type R comes out here I hope someone mods it up and turns it into a similar car to the one above!!

[EfiOz]

Oh yeah. The ECU in the rally homologation model is an EFI Technology Euro4 so I think we could do something about that.

http://www.compsystems.com.au/Products/Engine%20Control/EFIEuro/euro4.htm this says it has been use for the civic type r, is it the type r-r or the current Uk type r? so can u easily tune this ecu?

[EfiOz]

It is used in the homologation package for rallying. It was also used by Honda for field testing the UK spec Type R, just the same as the Euro1 was sued by them to field calibrate the EP3 Civic Type R.

And, yes, the Euro4 is very tuneable.

[Jarkz]

looking good without the bonnet pins/roof scoop...

[IAMVTEC]

LOL at paying that much for a civic

[EfiOz]

Why not? You can spend the same on a Clio R3 or a Seat

[Spicey]

Are these a definite NO for Aus???

[EfiOz]

No reason why you can't buy one. I'd have to check but I'm pretty sure it's eligible for Targa and those other tarmac rallies.

With the right driver it's the equal of a Gr N Evo or ScoobyDoo.

[[ slayer ]]

loving the new type r's and can't wait to see em here. that one is hot without the roof scoop... also maybe not white, but hey i wouldn't turn one down if given to me

[gReY-oNe]

NOT WHITE??
white looks good on this IMO
but i dont think we will be gettin it in white?

[EfiOz]

It's going to get covered in stickers anyway........................

[wlan-11g]

what is the purpose of the roof scoop? The engine is under the bonnet.

It's to supply air to the driver and navigator.

You can import any car you want, but you can't register it for the road if it is not under SEVS. So for rallies, circuit and all that, you can import the car. All you need is a CAMS license and proof that you regularly compete in these events.

[EfiOz]

That model was never meant for the road.
