what is the difference between civic type-r & vti-r?

adam, why spray it, the genuine ek9 looks only very slight difference. in fact it take someone who know what they are looking at to tell the difference...i think if i can remember it it took 3 out 5 of my mates to spot the differece:)

why don't you just remove the headlight protector....that piece that is shielding the light bulb..the ek9 does not have it:)

edit, only the 99up headlights looks obvious smoked in color.

tell you what, if you need it just for the show and the items are not like heaps, i am willing to fly down to perth and loan you those, and at the same time check out the event...only if time permits it. - only problem, is that i have not been to perth and i don't know any there to put me up:(

what do you need?

the headlights
the ek9 brochures
the ek9 jap ownership certificate
the ek9 jap manual + service manual
the red floormat (new or used- does not makes a diff coz mine used is rather mint)

the above are just some of stuff that you know that i have and which reckon i can manged to carry.

hehe well that would be awsome but are you sure ?

You can hook up with us at our residense if you are that keen. Also the event - Motorvation - its on the 17 -18th Jan next year.
I am staying over at the event that sat night with a dozen others. Each entrant gets 2 tickets for stayovers if needed :D

I currently have the EK9 floormats in and all im missing are the recaros, red door skins and carpet. Im already in negotions with someone regarding the carpet and possibly the recaros :P

Getting back to the headlights.
Im personally a fan of the smoked appearance over the shiny silver ones of the VTiR. Im just fussy when it comes to things like that.

Keep in touch if you are coming to Perth :)

How much u getting the Recaros for????? I want some for mine.

its not a simple purchase, but an arrangement. So prices are irrelevent in this case.

Oh ok - gotchya

smoked appearance does not occur after the ek9 facelift, nonetheless, i can see that you are after that. i will keep it as original as possible, and the easier i mentioned is to take out thebulb protector

okay, when the event get closer, LMK. i see what i can bring down, the recaros are d.out of the equation, too heavy. as for the rear seats, maybe and depending what you are missing out.

cool :)
hey hit me up on my email addy. Im pretty sure it would be a better idea to continue the arrangement in private :)

I'm not good with Hondas, or in fact anything for the matter of fact. R or no R, to me it doesn't make a difference. So if someone decides to slap an R on a non-factory R, good for them and their cause. So what does the R mean? That's it's invincible or it scares people? Blah ... FUBAR. :arrow:
