Civic Type R is coming!

[aaronng]

whats funny is that Australia is gona get left out and receive the watered down version of the CTR.

It's the same thing that UK gets.

JDM 4-door CTR is not in production yet.

Engine power delivery is slightly different than the DC5S. VTEC point is at 5000rpm.

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

[EG30]

will try to save up enough folding stuff to buy one when they get here, anyone wanting to do a group buy of CTR in Perth let me know. We could tender out to the Honda dealers if there are a few solid orders of CTRs ( or any other Honda for that matter ).

[Perry]

can someone post up the UK spec of their CTR?

[Chris_F]

What's new?

DC5R was also watered down but people still bought it. It's still a Type R and it still has a "wanted" appeal about it.

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

[qstoria]

LSD should be an option otherwise just get one elsewhere. quaife or an OEM one from a k20a. should fit in the k20z CTR motor. if you buy this car then you would want an LSD i would imagine

[NightRyder]

can someone post up the UK spec of their CTR?

For Perry

This is similar to what we will get as far as I understand.

Hope this helps.

thanks NightRyder 18's for this CTR ????? ummmm over doing it I thnk

[Perry]

with almost the same power as a dc5R 17's will be ok for traction, 18's too me at the moment will be good for looks, but I cant judge untill I drive the car
