No, it's not because of the ghetto parts. My ghetto parts are better than those that you can buy.

The rattles come from the interior. It's the stuff that are on the TSX's TSBs. I have the weak front roof liner clips, front door panel rattle, seat belt B pillar adjuster rattle, rear brake light rattle. I had the parcel shelf creak and glove box rattle, but those two were fixed by my dealer.

Hehehe, thats a relief... I will try to create your "Ghetto" airbox on my Civic later on when I have time... :p

without considering money...

Would you guys buy this new CTR or the EP3...

I'm trying to decide between the 2 atm (without thinking about dollars) and somehow i like the look of the Ep3 more...i cant stand the back of hte new CTR tho the fornt and interior is hawt

What ever floats your boat. Everyone has different tastes. My personal preference is the new CTR as i've grown to like the looks, up to date with safety, can take the car out on track days. If you want to go hardcore in the future you can start stripping it out yourself i guess.

Or, if you dont like the new CTR looks, you can make the VTI-Sports into CTR? :p

will there be a 4 door version of the civic type R ?

I highly doubt it. The sedan you are thinking about is only available in Japan i think.

I agree.The Japanese versions of Type R have always been more powerful than other countries' production versions.The sedan type R I believe has 165 kw .In other forums I 've been told that it laps the Tsukuba track in Japan faster than the JDM ITR,S2000 and the NSX(don't know if it's true about the NSX though.)
Yep.the JDM Civic Type R is a different kind of animal to the SI and the Euro Type R.

so in otherwords the 2 door is the one to be sold in Australia ?

Yes,the two door Euro hatch.Unless later down the track a miracle happens and Honda Australia decides to bring in a very limited amount of the JDM Sedan Type Rs.:)

If the EP3 you get is JDM, then go for that. Otherwise, the UK CTR if you want a new car.
