i live around earlwood, i did not buy the civic type R tho just a normal vti-L i wish i did :P i got that for around 29,000 all up with most of the options ctp and everything. How much did you get your type R for?

very nice indeed. Good choice, id love the s2k too but for around 40k they have had a good flogging and have done a head of kms, out of warranty and a at least 3 years old!

prob heaps more insurance too!

Sweet ride!

Pity we didn't get the sedan CTR here. I think it looks much better.

And SUS2K, I think you made the right choice. I too prefer a new car to a second hand one.

lol, that was the exact same dilemma I had.. was considering either a second hand s2000 or a brand new CTR... in the end I realised you just can't find any exceptional examples of s2000 (championship white)..so went with the CTR :P LOL.. although I think I get a lot more stares than any s2000..which is mostly a bad thing IMO..especially when parked in the city at night... had a bunch of 10 or so teenagers giving me the look just the other day :P

hahaha really? you bought the red one Reothe? I was going to consider red. Yeah 10 guys looking @ your car is a no no, but a different story when there's 10 girls =) an't that right? lol.

Yeah! if it came in sedan, i will get that without a second though. Because i'm not a fan with that back of the CTR's back. We should go for a cruise sometimes.

surely nice... s2000 or ctr both looks good

If i was a chick!

i'd prefer the top down over a space ship anyday...

**bodaas** · 03-02-2008 07:43 PM

you suppose to get the red one dude. i have been to 2 dealership, they tried to sell me either black or silver.
One of dealer was saying red color is bit rare, since currenty out of stock. LOL i dont know why or either is true or not. I reckon blacks looks kewll thouggh

so i have been waiting since last week, this my 2nd week waiting still cant get the car and i already signed the contract and deposit before australian day. DAmn

**Reothe** · 03-02-2008 10:42 PM

lol yes it is true about the reds being highly sought after and practically out of stock. It's extremely hard for any dealership to get hold of any red ones now that the initial shipment has been fully allocated and they're not sure whether any more shipments will occur. I bought the last red my dealership had off their showroom floor last year. The black is easier to get hold of..and looks alright if you want an understated look that won't shout in your face..but the silver is a big NO NO... looks like a toyota camry with a pot belly and a fat ass

LOL

lol..sorry just realized ur in nsw :P anyway.. took a look at your tyres..seems like there's a lot of sidewall wear already (cornering too fast already? lol) .. by the way, you better check your tyre pressure..the dealership that sold me my FN2R forgot to adjust my tyre pressures and all 4 were pumped up to 46 PSI..which is why I had a sore bum from an insanely stiff and jolty ride on the first few days.
HEEHEE< SPACE SHIP FTW ANYDAY!!! u have no idea how much of a chick magnet this fat pompous slow arse space ship is out in town until you own one

Have fun with your CTR..just be cautious of teenagers getting too close with their grubby hands.. lol

Oh btw, here are some pics...shame we're in different states..so hard getting FN2Rs for a photoshoot together

My milano red ctr (bought in september last year) ended up costing me $45,200 driveaway with typeR mats, footwell accent lighting, and custom plates. I've heard they've come down in price recently due to slow sales and the black and silver ctrs are being sold at around $42.5k driveaway but the reds are running very low on stock and due to the slow sales they're not sure whether anymore shipments will be made. Hence, the premiums charged on milano red and also the hype surrounding the possibility of the FD2R being shipped over to increase sales.
