Thank You Adrian, I know I'm a bit picky, but I just want to building my own "Civic Type RR":p.
Hope I can get my car soon! :wave:

better not to spam the thread, later when the car is finished I will post more detail in this foum.

The point is I'm a ture hardcore with Honda and the Type R from owning my EK 10yrs ago. I was considering the UK CTR or keep doing up my ek once I know they may come to OZ. after I look at it's spec. like engine, brake, trasmission, "overall shape" and "WEIGHT". Then I found that, it is a very good looking hot hatch but it is not the Civic Type R that I hope for, very disappointed :eek:. If there is a JDM civic type R or RR, sure I can afford and I will buy.

At least my EK still share the same blood with the EK9, the ture successor of CTR.:honda:

hmm...i wonder if they will reach their target of 1200 CTR sold in a financial year...
come to think of it, if the do achieve this, then it would make CTR "non-unique"
the DC5s didn't sell that much in a year..and they seem like they are everywhere already...lol

well think of it this way.

if they do sell that much, then HONDA AUS will hopefully bring in more CTRs in the future and keep the tradition alive. and pray in the future comes the JDM spec :thumbsup:

hmm...that's more optomistic than selling the 1200 CTR in one year...:eek::eek: but i like your thinking! whatever it takes to bring in the JDM CTR...so people, buy up!

Not a fan of the new CTR. the R in this car is for Race Look
