ITS OFFICIAL LADIES AND GENTLEMEN...the CIVIC TYPE R HATCH IS COMING WOOOO...far out never thought the day it would come here...its going to be a beast...expect nothing lower than 40K for this baby...well done honda australia...going to take a good hard look at it...
Yeh the front does look the euro and the back looks kinda like peuogety...liked the 4 door type R better =[ This one looks overly european for a type R but the interior is nice.
here's another link from Honda Aus;
http://www.honda.com.au/wps/wcm/conn...e+R+Down+Under
Time to sell the S2 and 'ugrade' to a civic:p
dam i cant wait i hope they bring that and the sedan down here that way people can choose which one they want, cause i dun see any mps3 sedan or gold sedan.....ppl would pick the civic..
i like obth and will really look into it might buy the new hatch type r when it get here
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
Should've wait till this one comes out T-T Man... i thought this one will never comes out thats why I bought the "not so Sport-y" model... T-T
wow very nicely, should make my sister get one of these
im not a fan of this and dont know what the fuss is about.
for that money there are so many great second hand cars out there you could buy that would blow this thing away.
i love my hondas but i just think this ctr is a pos.
at least Honda is having a go though! I was getting worried with all the sport model "axing"!
sik mate sik...... honda aus is doing something right

yeah im sure many people would buy a 2nd hand 350Z, EVO, WRX, etc but the fact is that its a hatch...why do you think people buy hot hatches? quality and performance the car itself is well rounded car...and its a different segment of the market and honda had to fill it in..its like why buy a DC5R or DC2R back then..when you know other cars on the market are quicker for the same price...Quote:

i like the interior
exterior is ok
power looks ok, but they can easily pump 160+ from a 2L dunno why they hold back so much.
and i liek the jdm type R version better than Uk
but YAY we are at least getting a type R. I was starting to hate mr Honda.. :p
how much power is the jdm ctr pumping out?
...time for a another transplant
162+kW Not explicitly stated in the CTR prototype.Quote:

so what wheels do we get?
the one on http://www.civictyper.com.au/ or the one shown in www.drive.com.au??
and 6.6s 0-100km/h with 148kw....what's going on there? What's the weight of these things? Surely it isn't that light...it looks heavy.
the broucher available for the UK deliverd on lists weight at 1267ish Kg so its bout the same weight as the DC5S but with less power.
niceee! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: not the greatest lookin cars but yea we could get used to em.... trade in FTW!!
Engine power delivery is slightly different than the DC5S. VTEC point is at 5000rpm.Quote:

It's the same thing that UK gets.Quote:

yeah i have noted that, apparantly they have changed the gearing too so be interesting to see how it goesQuote:

can someone post up the UK spec of their CTR?
incase anyone is interested the civic type R one top gears hot hatch shoot out (out of a field of 25 or so)
What's new?Quote:

Keep in mind Alot of dc5R owners was disappointed with the dc5RQuote:

thanks NightRyder 18's for this CTR ????? ummmm over doing it I thnk
yeah...i guess bigger wheels makes it look nice as well as better traction..

Player hater Perry :p
18s never stopped me LOL
i cant beleive some people are complaining about this CTR. i remeber like a couple of months back when everyone was so dissapointed when this wasn't gonna make it here..i think its a great car and should do well
That weight of 1301kg for the Type R Civic surely can't be right if the std Euro is 1375kg. If it is correct the 6.6 second time sounds optomistic.
i agree. this has roughly the same output as the AUDM DC5R and the DC5R weighs around 1160kg and does 0-100kmh in about 6.9 or so seconds, so 6.6 for the CTR does sound a lot optomistic...
And it is running 18s versus 16s on the DC5R. You can only achieve so much with the gear ratios too so how does the CTR get that time?Quote:

yeh, DC5R has to shift to 3rd to get to 100. but still man no way it makes that much of a differenceQuote:

See test below
http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=108019
yeh, i think it might be a tad slower than a DC5R but its still an impressive car and i bet its more comfortable and has a shit load more accessories than the DC5R. DC5R's dont even have cruise control ffs
Went to the motorshow today. Saw the type R. Not a bad looking car. The 18" look great. The front foggies too. The rest is not bad, but ill stick with my sedan.
THIS what i've been waiting for !!! any idea how much its going to release?
will get attention for sure, whether its in a bad or good way.
that pic looks sexual...very sexual indeed....this car will be the new hot hatch cult
the side on pic look sleek
i thought the jdm itr and the old ctr could produce 161kw??
with this uk type r that produces 147.6 kW + no LSD + no brembo brakes (am i wrong? saw a video on youtube the new ctr has a caliper with the word 'type r' on it).... and it also has VSA traction control makes me feel like this car should be a type s rather than a type r.
and it doesnt have recaro.
but doesnt mean its a type S....
just not JDM thats all
The EP3 had the 'Type-R' word mechanically engraved on its calipers, surely if this was made in Swindon UK, they should have them on this CTR as well...unless the CTR that we Aussies will get will be made in Thailand?...
Anyhow, although it's not going to be JDM spec, I think it still takes the cake. We down under never were able to sell CTR's in the mainstream market until this announcement, first time ever I believe!...so I think it shouldn't be criticised. :cool:
40000 these days for a hatch and nobody blinks an eye. Some people actually want one!! Rubbish. the worlds gone mad.
saw it at the motorshow
the brakes aren't brembos justl ook like stock civic ones,
seats have "type r " on them from memory.
thats correct the seats have type R stitched, the car at the melbourne motorshow is exactly that of the UK version or similar...the interior is nice...going to enquire about this car as im definately interested now
