Nice, but for that coin you could get better cars lol
rarity is pricey..
^ well said,
Rather buy a r34 gtr
Rather buy a 370z
Rather buy an ek kswap and a 350z for a daily
rarity is overrated :(
most likely you could import your own mugen RR for that price
fd2r is my dream car though,
I'll import my own someday...........................................
Been up for a while, 2nd owner now. Have you guys read the mod list?
if i had money to play with i'd buy it lol. feels good man, own a type R fd, then i'd change the number plates
also, i know its all up to personal preference, like id probably rather buy a gtr if i only had 60k saved. but, doesn't this car beat the gtr round the track? just sayin
^ mwaku, at the end of the day, its fwd n/a, sure it may be quicker stock vs stock , but how many track orientated drivers will buy the gtr and keep it stock?
imho fair enough its a rare car, but even in japan the Type R range are supposed to be the cheap ecomonically friendly/ entry level track cars, not the 40k+ range we have to
pay for in australia. Its not an S2000, which is a true sports track car
yet it's faster than an s2k as well
is there any guide that you can import FD2R by myself?
Canopy - no. This has been discussed before, and personal importing is the only viable way.
It wouldn't be too hard to get it in parts over here, but if it's ever found to be registered, they will have it crushed.
rahter go to vegas and blow it on trannies.
Roflllll ^^
Tsukuba is a small track that's why honda is good at it, if they raced at Fuji or Suzuka it would be a totally different story
sure a GTR the would be quick but its is a bloated supercar that drives itself, where is the fun in that. And I'd imagine it would send ya broke just servicing the bitch. Give me the FD2R thanks. !!
its a shame Honda Aust screwed us over and didn't bring it in. I'd have grabbed one.
This is what happens when people prefer "hot hatches" over a sports sedan. You cannot compare a FD2R to any GT-R as they are two completely different levels of car. Tho for this sort of money personally you could build a nice turbo S2K or go and hunt down the lucky guy who brought that Mugen RR a while back and pay an extra 10K for complete exclusiveness
is this the same chassis as the local model ? Whats stopping some kid here just swapping everything onto a local model for 1/3 the price ?
A friend of mine has already gone down that path. He has swapped a K20Z4 in, fitted Mugen RR kit etc etc (when it's just a FD1 chassis). Obviously he does not have the refined chassis like the FD2R, but nothing a shit load of bracing can't fix
It's all about that vin plate benny boy.
does the extra welds really help that much ?
I think so but it's really no replacement for stiffening bars
Plus the engine is the most powerful out of the k series
only a enthusiast would spend 55k on a civic, everyone else who wants to go fast would buy gtr/sti/evo/rx7 lol
If the dealer at sydney was right..he could import a fd2r .. He said he could import any car cus he's an import dealer..is that true?
nice collection, but i'd prefer fd vti with k24 in it so noone notice it
$54K man hes taking the advantage. At the end of the day its a civic and no way would i pay that much for one tbh. There are also alot of look alike fd2rs here..
not many look alike FD2R's actually, there's alot more plain mugen kits, or mugen RR kits. I'm yet to see anyone with a Type R kit
Seen plenty wannabes dude what areas do you visit lol ?. Not very good ones though most just wack on the spoiler and r badges and call it a day
the worst part about the car is it looks like a shitty ricer mock up and not the real deal!
thats prob the worst value for $$$ car u could buy, its looks shit and doesnt go that quick for the money!
