We just may get the JDM CTR in Australia.

The Brits are getting it :(

the Brits are getting it via private imports.

the FD2R chassis is modded from the factory. it is stiffer in some area (refer to the red points) and lighter in others (refer to the orange points). full detail on the link below:

Litchfield Imports in UK still gives a 3 year warranty on their grey-imported FD2R though. It's not like the import market here in Australia which is full of dodgy practices, even when importing a brand new car (you probably lose parts in between leaving japan and reaching your door).

The body shell of the new Civic Type 'R' has been especially developed to give maximum rigidity and whilst over 50% more rigid than the Integra is only 1.8kg more in weight!!
