[Jarkz]

Gotta love the Irish..... it's in my blood too mate.

Welcome aboard captain...

[Eire]

I always thought they were sold in Oz aswell as Japan?Or whats the story with importation there?Supposedly irelands the easiest country to import to theres no restrictions whatsoever

[Jarkz]

lucky buggers..... lol

[T-onedc2]

The rule goes something like, you can't get compliance for a vehicle so similar to what is already sold here. Sucks bad

[I heart the SSS]

Welcome man!

That's a ****ing hawt ride..

Enjoy your stay :)

P.S Pics of other cars ?

[JunYu]

love it. haha so envious! welcome here! you're not going to gain any knowledge from me .. lol

[Eire]

Whats compliance?Iin saying that we get absolutly rode for tax's on imports,ky jelly is a must when it comes to registration and insurance.

Ive 4 cousins living in melbourne and one of them's just after moving back home here and he cant believe how expensive it is with cars compared to there.

Here's the Ek4 - It was a uk spec vti B16a,nice runabout car kept it standard enough

And the Dc2 -It Was a 2000,the most uncomfortable car ever,Tein SS' were a bitch in it but it was a quick just rotten as a daily driver

Dc5 was lovely car to drive but it seemed to have been ragged to death by the previous owner,still a car id like to own again

No pics of the ek9 which was a short stint,theres new rules coming in place here from the 1st of july so your cars tax's are based on Co2 emmissions,there was a big fuss at the start and i wanted the Accord so went for it while the going was good!

[JunYu]

[r-r-redEuro]

i want your life ...... damn you and your cars freaking hell LOL

[Irish R]

Hey there,missed this somehow:wave:.

How`s the car going now since you`ve had her a few weeks?

Would look into getting one hopefully next year myself when i get home.

What did the VRT amount to for it?

[Eire]

Its great i love it!

I only got it Nct'd so was waiting untill then before adding any mods.

Fitted a set of tein coilovers and currently debating on what airbox to go for altho (i seen another R rolling roaded recently with the k+n typhoon kit and got some silly increase,13bhp or there abouts!) I had a chance of a skunk2 exhaust for cheap money but not sure if i want the extra attention the garda are on abit of a crackdown here at the minute.

Going to get it rolling roaded in the next week or so and decide where to go from there.

Vrt cost me €4262! And from Tuesday Vrt is based on co2 emmissions,the euro r (and nearly all other vtecs fall into the highest band so vrt on the Euro R will rise to 36% from 30%)

The countrys in abit of a slow patch at the minute,with recession immenent and things not looking good make sure to bring plenty of dollars back with you!

Great Euro R!
Is the sat nav working outside Japan?
I may be interested for the grey market import in oz.

[kraiye]

the luck of the irish ey?!!
dam!!!! nice rides! (bastard :p)

[Eire]

Satnav has me stuck in nagoya at the minute!Im waiting on a uk disc to see if i can force a download with it,aparently theres 3 different sat nav versions so it may be hit and miss untill i can find one that works (if it even does!)

[Drew]

wow.. i never knew there was a euro r :s

There was an Accord Euro before there was a CL7/9 too... That also came as a Euro R

So many awesome Hondas we don't get here
