We just may get the JDM CTR in Australia.

[fasthonda]

it would be strange for this to happen. Does anyone know of any other market where there is 2 platform versions of the Civic Type R sold officially by Honda dealers?

I can't think of any. Not even in Japan. It is one or the other.

Can anyone think of any?

On the 2nd of August Malaysia will be the first country outside of Japan to have the FD2 as an official import.I'm not entirely sure whether they will also receive the UK CTR.
The order for the FD2 will be only 100-120 per year for the Malaysian market.

they should have brough the JDM CTR in would have been a smarter move for honda for cost as well
UK CTR and the current civics a completely different car.
atleast if they brought the JDM CTR the civic and the CTR could share parts which would be cost effective for honda
anyhow good to hear about this great news

woooohooooo, damn good news this is!!! lets just hope the gay aussie laws don't screw us over.......if the fn2 is missing HIDs cause of these rules....it scares and pains me to think what they can or will pull out of the fd2....

really hope this does come true, the fun and thrills of a type R (proper type r at that) mixed in with the practicality of 4 doors.

plus, will be great to see ppl modding the fd2 when this comes. the mugen kit looks soooooooo hot

Hey guys, come back to reality. Is it really possbile to have 2 type-r in Australia?....Few things needa be considered.

1. It would definitely be detuned. Is a Must!

2. If it wouldnt be detuned and FD2 really comes to Australia, how about the remianing FN2 (Havent yet sold) in Australia? No one is gonna buy FN2, for sure!

3. Well, If it would be detuned, to what extend would be the kw decreased? same as FN2 148 kw(around)?

There are also a great considerable factors need to be considered, not just the above~

They can always discontinue the current type r when they bring in the 4 door...

[xqwzit]

i hope if detuned wont be more than 10kw.
but hey its worth it for the looks on the fd2r

no offence but we all know what most ppl thinks about the fn2 looks.

Singapore gets both cars. They recently both went onsale.

something like 104k for the Jap version and 106k for the UK version.

why is the price lower for the jap version?

is it been detuned?

[straightR]

it will be detuned, and it looks like shit. What's all the type over? Every 2007 moddel car has a sexy interior.. big deal.

just checked the honda singapore web site, didnt see any FD2 there~

FD2R in singapore is brought in by private importers, not Honda Singapore. The only type R Honda singapore brings in is the FN2R.

So the question is still on, which Honda brings in 2 type R (Jap and UK versions)?

I still think this is highly unlikely so don't get hopes too high.

if unlikely, it's gonna be a bad manoever by Honda Australia managing director and CEO Yasuhide Mizuno.His comment will jeopardize FN2 sales.
So my opinion, JDM CTR will land here soon
btw, over $50K, no way, better get new model C-Class (extra a bit)
or Aurion sportivo (left over fund can be use for 20"wheel+Brembo)
