is 60000 import the mugen civic RR too expensive?

[slipangle]

smoking? petrol sniffing

seriously, if you ever spend much time trying to balance on the tightrope between grip and slip, a proper Type R (or something like a RR cut from the same cloth) is a well resolved driver's instrument, FF or not!.

i seen a car like this yesterday
i was wondering if its the mugen one
it drove past me, red new civic type r definately
it was hot, different looking but its grown on me already
for 60k tho i'd buy something else, but each to ur own
the thread starter asked if 60k was to much for it...if u have 60k and don't see anyfing else u like or is better value then it's probably not for u
but a very unique car

It wouldn't have been a genuine FD2R. I don't think anyone has brought one out here yet.

You saw the FN2R. That one is nothing like this FD2R.

For starters, the FD2R has 165kW vs the FN2R's 148kW. Next, the FD2R has 4-pot Brembos at the front and suspension height sensors to sense nose-dive when braking hard.

its also highly possible that someone has fitted extras to a local new civic sedan , to make it look like the JDM CTR.
Rear wing + body kit + wheels = instant CTR lol

So you're saying all those Excels with bonnet scoops weren't turbocharged with coolers bolted on top?

I feel cheated now.

There's the FD2R and the FN2R. The FD2 is the JDM sedan which we don't get here in Type R form. We get the VTI and Sport. The FN2 is the EU CTR. It's a fairly "unique" looking car and very love or hate in it's styling. We get the equivalent of the GT version in the UK. The GT has rain sensing wipers, auto headlights and other stuff that doesn't belong on a Type R.
