won't happen unless someone does an import scheme under SEVS
but, however, if it does come out, i will be the first in line for it.. dunno where I will get the money from, but I must have it
it won't happen.... Honda Australia wouldn't bother - they would see every CTR sale as a lost ITR sale... not true, but that is how they would view it, hense it would not be worth bringing here
We'd be more likely to get the 3 door Si version - they need to spruce up the Civic image BADLY
Is this someone inside Honda? How accurate is this information?Quote:

My assumption is that it's within da import scene not Aussie delivered!
yeah, it'll be import. Even so, I will be in for the right price and helping out. I know the right people, so I can get it in a magazine, which helps a lot. That was a main reason why Nissan Stageas got put on the list. So let me know if they need anyone to get it into a performance car mag and I will organise it
hummm:)
Hows about a bit more than speculation.........show us some facts ppl! :)
I highly doubt that a car of that magnitude could make its way into Australia without a lot of scrutineering beforehand. If it was as easy as everyone says, then there'd be a hell of a lot of them on the road (seeing as they are pretty popular judging by the specs/looks).
If this does happen, it would be a good idea to find out who brought it in, under what legalities it has been brought in, and whether it will be for strictly race use or not.
civic TYPE-R yes plz
i would love 1
2L i-vtec
11.0 compression
147KW@7400RPM
196NM@5900RPM
best of all 6 speed
6.6 secs to 100KM/H
this is the ultimate hatch :twisted:
why would they bring out the civic type-r when it's going to have the same power as the ITR. And even if it did they said it would cost atleast 36k, not many ppl are going to pay that for a civic
It has the same engine as the ITR, so it is actually 162kw, like the JDM Type Rs.... and compression is *from memory* 11.4 in the JDM Type RsQuote:

IF HA did bring them in, they would charge more like $40K, to compete with the ITR. They would also have to get one that is detuned to the same engine spec as the ITR. Honda Japan won't like that.Quote:
