nice car dude.. love the seats, are they similar to previous models?
Your looking at a proud new owner of Black civic type r.
Pick up on the 1st of March - Made jan 08
Well done Danny on the car. Black looks the most aggressive out of the 3 colours. Mine is red, the attention seeking pretty boy colour.
I'm not a fan of black rims generally but I've seen black CTR on black rims. Looks even more aggressive.
i will love this color if its available, i just pick this pic from website

Has anyone added an ipod cable to there type r yet.
Hondas geniune one was 600 dollars so pretty much told them to get stuffed.
If any one has what brand did they use.

They have 3 registered demos? I think not. That's just stupid. Everyone has stock. Hornsby have 3 cars in the showroom alone.Quote:

2 red was delivered on the same day, one demo with type r emblem on the front (optional)
sometime, demo car to what they said you never know how they arrive, sometime you get more option
There's plenty of stock around but..
2008 built Civic Type-Rs are landed in Melbourne.. NOW.
..and after being lied to about availability by a number of dealers, one of them has my name on it! :D
Great choice, you'll love it. I'm 5k in with mine and it just gets better to drive everyday.Quote:

jus wondering for when i pick my type r tomorrow i didnt do a deal for a full tank of petrol but should that just come standard
Nope, the dealer didn't even give me FULL TANK! those assholes. All i got was 1/4 of a tank...
I had the stealer write it on my contract - Full tank of 98RON.
yeh thats what i should of done just tottally forgot...
those bastards betta fill it up this morin..
you think it would just be common courtsy to...
post some photos tonight..
hah brand new car and got some mods to do it this morin when i pick it up..
Accent lighting.
Ipod Cable
Amp Kit
see how i go with time...
I only got a 1/4 tank with my CTR back in July last year. And a 1/4 tank for my Accord Euro AND 06 Accord VTI.
I'm interested in your Ipod cable. Care to provide a bit more detail?
I regretted not mooching an ipod cable when I got the car.
Anyone noticed that the MP3 player doesn't have gapless playbacks for mixed albums etc? It's annoying for long cruises.
Is the clock only in 24 hour format? Not that I can't interpret 24 hour time, but sometimes you just don't want to think for 1/2 a second.
yay picked it up and was only 1/4 tank but i asked and he gave me a 50dollar caltex voucher and i filled it up with vortex98 i think it is called...
been an hour and already had so much fun...wooo
and it is 01/08 model...
will take pics later out to do the accent lighting now...
yooo Luke !!! new type-r dude !!! enjoy it.Quote:

LD_Mart: congratz on the FN. More details on the amp kit please?
how was that timed? None of the Australian testers using proper equipment can get close to that. And you do realise that when your speedo on the CTR says 100kph you are actually doing 92kph?!Quote:

Well if you are really going to try you are going to ruin your clutch and your car won't last long

I got the same prob with clock really wanna figure out how to change it.
what more can i say it is an amp kit...just standard 8gauge amp kit for a monoblock amp.Quote:

Yeah it is true. Must be part of Honda's plan to make the CTR faster than it really is. It needs all the help it can get.Quote:

was tossing up between an astra turbo and the FN2R but the guys at john blair gave me a deal too good to refuse (altho they only gave me 1/4 tank too) ..lol
btw im from melb too reothe. any other melb boys (or girls:) on here?
My Black R should be delivered late next week.. Melbourne here too. :cool:
had to wait two weeks to pick mine up....man it felt like friggin two yrs!!
which dealer did u end up going with? i tried gary warren smith, oakleigh and new world honda, berwick....gawddamn those guys at berwick are a bunch of pricks. got the worst service ever from them. gary warren was good but didnt budge much from the rrp tho.
but the john blair guys were ace....and make good coffee too :)
why rarely ppl get red ones ? i love red ones !!!
I agree!Quote:

CONGRATS ANU on your purchase have fun with your FN2 :thumbsup:
LOL.Quote:

Having said this, I understand perfectly if it didn't turn out that way for you. I had a very bad experience with FTG Honda but others say they are awesome.
Perhaps it has to do with being local? Or the particular sales guy? Or the day of the week? LOL.
Anyway, can't wait to get the car! :p
dmx, all the ones ive seen on the road have been red. havent seen a black or silver one yet......
cheers mate fasthonda... ;)
lol...nah im actually local to berwick. theyre my closest honda but guess where im not taking it to get serviced :D
i got a blonde chick actually...but i reckon i copped the 'hmmm...u look like ur too yng to be buying one of these cars mate...have seen them jazz's we've got??' attitude. she mentioned joy riders and having me put a deposit before i could even take one out for a test drive in the same breath!!!
but over at gary warren they offered me an overnight test drive...so go figure! lol
ps...my cuz bought a euro from berwick a few mths back and he said they were orrite. guy from work bought a euro and got crap service from em (so he ended up buying from essendon instead)... so go figure take two...lol
but yer i was more pissed off coz she was orrite looking (but a total b*^%h!!) :cool:
Yeah, this pissed me off when I was shopping around. But when I was ready to buy, all the other dealers seemed to think I should pay a premium - and three of them flat out lied about the availability of 2008 built cars.Quote:
