True that honda have gone a little soft on their typeR philosophy in regards to the FN2. But at 50k i much rather have an evo ix than a FD2R that looks like a vti or vti-s that you see at every turn on the road.Quote:

back on topic :)
apart from suspension, power, lsd and brake advantage which everyone mentioned, FD2R also enjoys tyre and weight advantage. with a combination of all these, 3s diff on a relatively long track (1:20+) is acceptable i guess.
thats a great comparison!
Remembering if the jap one was to come here it wouldnt be 39,990 it would be alot more, and u would expect more power, better breaks and LSD for alot more!
Both great cars!
As expected,the JDM version was faster.Can you imagine if a limited number came to Australia and were tested by Aussie reviewers?The first whinge would be about the hard suspension and how the ride isn't compliant as the GTI Golf;).Anyways,the JDM version would be ideal as a track car, as a daily driver,who knows?
The comparision was ok,but I would've preferred a comparision with turbo charged cars such as the Megane F1 230,Astra VXR,Audi S3 maybe even the V6 Golf R32.

just love it to bits. its deffinatly a firm ride by the looks of things, that makes me happy:)
yeah thats strange. but if JDM CTR do arrive in OZ, the price would be put all the way up to 40+ i reckon because they wouldnt want people to buy the jdm only. OZ australia probably make a even bigger profit this way...more reason to bring it inQuote:

Malaysia has gotten the JDM spec and Honda engineers said that the engine will run on 97RON without problems, maybe only a slight power loss. So on our 98RON and 100RON, the JDM CTR will be fine as well.Quote:

When compared to a car with coils, it is SOFT. The JDM CTR still has only about 5-6 kg/mm springs, which are very soft compared to what we run (I use 10 kg/mm, and some DC2R boys (and gals) would be running at least 16 kg/mm).
