Civic type R?

hi all,
this is my first post..but ive been on here for ages and pretty much look on this website every night

anyways back on topic -

today i went to a honda dealership after school and i asked about the CTR
im in love with the car and parents said they'd get me a white one..
so i go in and ask if there were any white ones in stock..
and he tells me that...the whole line has been discontinued and aus only has 32 white ones ..
so i go f***ing crazy

WHY HAVE THEY BEEN DISCONTINUED!

he said there was a real slim chance of the jdm sedan R coming in..but come on the market isnt that big..

o how i dream to own a jdm fd2r :D

but i think they will be under sold before they come up to the show room :)

...meh doesnt bother me

MY DREAM OF A WHITE CTR HAS BEEN CRUSHED..

might have to go for the mini JCW clubman now :/

have you visited another dealer? i am very surprised about this info.

where are you located?

there is a white ctr at robert lane honda atm in melb.

next white stock coming in january which means not discontinued. just means all white CTR for this year have been sold out.

there was also a white one @ Highway Honda in Bne 2 weeks ago. not sure if it's still there now.

IMO white makes the car look like an egg but still nice :)

Think there no more white CTR in Brisbane, only black and red for new

If you're in Melbourne... The last I checked there was a white MY09 Civic Type R at Courtney & Patterson Honda (Cnr Banksia and Dora Streets, Heidelberg, 3084).

However if you're not in Melbourne and CW is the colour you're after, convince your parents that flying interstate/shipping the car back to your state is a viable option! Also it's not too expensive.

Good luck with the hunt!

No worries :) Like ktld said, December isn't too far away!

In the meantime save on the side for future modifications, it's an expensive hobby to get into, but it is definitely worth it :wave:

yeah expensive hobby =.='' 1k for a GruppeM intake. warranty = no modifcations

Try Trivett Honda Blacktown. I was there 2 weeks ago and there was a white one.

how fail is Australia Honda

first, FN2R over FD2R
second, lack of colours available to satisfy consumers, talkin abt niche markets and shiets...

what other craps are they trying to bring in? Australia isnt some junk land for unwated/failed car models..stop importing fail Honda models!!!

I want the royal blue kinda colour for my FD, notbluish silver.

imagine orange..! or yellow!

haha yea had nothing to do so went and had a look

yea december aint too far away .
dont think i'll be modding any cars. i seriously know nothing about anything..
me and a friend plan on learning how an engine works on an old R33 GTS-T s2
should be fun :D

wait..i kinda dont understand..the fd2r isnt that much better than an fn2r is it?
i rkn the fn2r has a way more unique look, even though it doesnt look like a hardcore bruiser it does have an aggresive stance..the fd2r looks way to similar to the normal civics. i'd rather a sport over an f2dr ..cause call me crazy but what the hell are you going to do with so much power?
i dont find losing my licence particulary cool :/

The easiest (in terms of installation and what not) modifications you can do to N/A engines is I/H/E (Intake, Headers, Exhaust) as they are all bolt-on modifications which directly replace the stock parts. Have a look around the forum and also on the CivInfo 'Type R' forum for more information :)

The main difference between the FN2R and FD2R is the engine; the FN2R has a 2.0L K20Z4 producing 148kW@7800 RPM with torque figures of 193 Nm@5600 RPM. In comparison to the FD2R which is a 2.0L K20A producing 165kW at 8,400 RPM and 215Nm of torque at 6,100 RPM. Also the FD2R has IRS (independent rear suspension) as opposed to our rear torsion beam in the FN2R.

Although it all comes down to personal opinion - some people would much rather the features which were released with the FD2R however personally speaking if both Type Rs were available in the AUDM, I would choose the FN2R over the FD2R.

fd2r not much better than fn2r? not much better? NOT MUCH BETTER? its sooo much better. you will learn young one, majority of civic owners would trade either their fd or fn2r for a fd2r if that came out. cos i know i would :thumbsup:

then be pissed off as hell cos we spent too much money modding the current cars we have... and half the stuff wont fit the fd2r -_-

Funny you say this coz my friends said that he read that the FD2R might come to Australia but I never asked where he got his info from

only reason for me. FD2R = JDM yo!!

r u fo real?

If the FD2R comes here, it's not JDM now isn't it.

Don't care so long as it's jdm spec :)

Call it what ever as long as it's same specs as JDM one i'll be happy to sale my EP3 and get into new FD2R

fd2r is worth twice more than 8 years old civc :wave:
talk only no go in another term full of sht ? *annoying*

An R33 is an old car?? hahahahahaha

an 80's Corolla is old

You are still in school and your parents are going to GIVE you a Civic Type R?

Hope you pass your exams then, its the least you could do

So far there seems to be 5 or so white ones listed for sale, so you better get a deposit down

Get an EP3, faster and half the price

i think people would trade their left nut for it!!!

haha yea ive gotta pass my exams xD

well they said its either a CTR or a JCW clubman.. and i think the CTR is much nicer on the eyes..

be nice to your parents...coz insurance wont be cheap

doesn't the JCW clubman have turbo ? so p-plater can't drive it ? well the JCW clubman is faster but i still would buy the CTR, looks better.

Don't think the insurance would cover him. have to go under his dad's name or soemthing

yea i'd be driving it illegally so insurance wont cover it
but..oh well dad rkns its a "special" car

nah ill probs bug parents for a type R
they'll give in..
haha anyways im reduced to catching the 548bus for a couple more months :P

haha dw mate, i was in the same position. Just put the car under your dad's name and list u as one of the driver for the insurance.

yea thats pretty much the only way you can get insurance..and even that way there are some risks
just hope the police dont pull you over :/

i got the civic because its a sick vehicle (sick vic... ci-civ... civic) get it? HAHA

oh wow =.=;;

damn ..i seriously didnt get that joke for a second haha

Hey guys theres no new Civic Type R's thats gonna be released soon right? I know that Honda have added some new features in the 2009 FN2 but I might go buy an FN2 soon and I dont want to find out that Honda is gonna release a new model as soon as I buy it

There's one born everyday -- Although lately I reckon there's maybe a few more than that.

:wave:

I reckon they're probably shitting around with you - they want their money now.

they only say that cause rarely people buy red

Lol around Perth I've only seen red and black. Ive never seen a white one on the roads before. I'll try asking at a different dealership in Perth and see what they can do about getting a white one in.
Curtis I've only tried the Burswood dealership but I'll probs take a drive down after uni and ask the Melville one

for some reason i only like the fn2r in white.

I love the white one too!

Have u seen Civic Si's on the road?? i've seen it once or twice. Biggest waste of money.

yea ive seen a couple of si's but the ones i see are all dealership guys in them.

when its time for me to get a car..if i cant find a white fn2r, i'll rage and run around in circles..

Yeah I kinda have a feeling that they're telling me they cant get white in so that I buy another colour that they have in stock so they can get rid of their current stock so I'll go to another dealership and ask about white

No. Seriously?

LMFAO.

When i picked mine up a few months ago, june I think, my dealer told me that there were only three left in the country. One at yarra honda, one in qld and one in... perth? (i think). beyond that, there was no more coming in on the system. They weren't sure what was happening. In any case, mine came down from qld. But that was a few months ago. Not sure if this info helps.

Hmm.. Looks like you guys don't get it so I'll make it abundantly clear: Dealers lie through their teeth to get a sale. Especially those at Ferntree Gully Honda FYI: Those lovely chaps tried to tell me that I would have to wait over three months for a MY08 when an hour earlier Honda Australia had confirmed that 10 were landed in Melbourne a few days ago. And incidentally an hour later I bought a MY08 at another dealer for about $5k less than what they wanted for an 07!

If you are buying a car do your homework and don't ever trust a dealers word. Ever. Double check against other dealers and even Honda Australia.

Also, leave the retail price at home - this is never going to be what you are going to pay; Ignore any reference to "On road costs," and always consider about $2k of extras to be thrown in as part of the deal. If they won't play ball - walk.

And Never forget that YOU.. not dealer.. have all the cash and therefore all the power in this transaction.

Two more tips:

Never ever buy or accept as "thrown in" Paint/Fabric protection - ever wondered why it's usually offered after you sign?

And finally.. BUY FROM YOUR LOCAL DEALER (whoever they may be). Sure, shop around first but once you have your shit together, go to your local dealer as they're your best chance at a great deal. Why: Because local dealers are rewarded by Honda Australia for looking after customers that are within their designated local area.

Anyway, that's a start.


Best of luck.
