I m from Brisbane, here there is one Civic Type-R running around Brisbane Metro Area, i was sort of lucky to spot that car in the car park, i m pretty sure that is a JDM car......creamy white color, seat, interior all is factory Type-R stuff.....haha so cool i wish to have one~ just wonder is there any EK9 in Sydney and Melbone?
PS: Here i so far i also saw 2 EJ1 around sunnybank area in Brisbane....EJ1 is 2 door EG civic coupe (Made in US)....10 years car but still looks great~
there are a few type r's in melb, rebuild + one or two personal imports... basically cause they are legal down there.... bit rarer in sydney, and im highly doubting there is one in brisbane :D... you could change over the seats, interior panels, wheels, paint it whatever... and it still wouldnt be a ek9 lol, its too hard to get them registered here :D
There are 2 Civic Type Rs in Sydney
One is an illegal import, the other private import.
And both are rarely driven - they are owned by older guys, and are both absolutely stock standard.
There is another EK9 CTR on its way next month
HOw the hell do they get em in?
Vic "Rebuilds" or private imports.
Or "Race only Import"Quote:

wots nvolved in a "rebuild"? u bring in a crashed one?|
That "EK9" Brisbane woulda been like an EK or EK4 dude...
There was a genuine one for sale ages ago in Brisbane (had QLD plates). But it was silver and had a full Mugen kit. Plates were 00 CTR. I’ve got photos around here somewhere.
I thought EK9 CTRs only came in Championship WhiteQuote:
