anyone else reckons this type R would inspire the owners of civic sports / VTi sedan owners like the Ek9 and ek4 did for the Gli/Cxi owners?

Yeah i think it would which is pretty cool cause then there will be alot more after market support, for the standard civic and the type R version, i mean performance wise........

Then why didn't you buy the Thai-built Civic? They look the same

originally civic type r is a hatch tho.

i reckon the interior of the hatch looks better than the sedan version.

Yes, me too, I will buy a JDM Type R stright away too if available, Now I already rather not to buy the UK's Type R and spend the money to keep on invest into my EK4 to get more racing feel.

mm... I feel that UK's Type R is not the real Type R that it was fasmous for but it still a good sport car but little bit overpriced.

JDM Type R is really building on it's racing heritage, that's the different for me!

Don't matter, at least Australia is even getting a Type R

Hatch or Sedan is great, both is even better for us but probably not terribly healthy for Honda Aust lol

as someone else pointed out

"18-inch tires and large 17-inch front disc brakes contribute to the Civic Type R’s ability to push the performance envelope"

isn't possible, and puts the whole article in the category of "load of crap"

mayb the caliper comes out to a diameter of 17"'s? if that makes it better, mayb i should get some metal welded to my calipers to make it have a larger diameter? what u all think? in all seriousness are there any 18" rims which have an internal clearance of 17"s?
