We just may get the JDM CTR in Australia.

it is refreshing to see a manufacturer who puts the product first. eventhough it's only limited to a model out of a range.

I'm staying loyal to the FN2. While the FD2 is 'crazy' it's not really suited to my style.

I guess the only bad news about bringing in the FD2 would only result in accelerated depreciation in FN2 values (or other Type Rs)

Keep an eye out on Carsales or Trading Post for an influx of DC5, FN2 and S2000s for sale when the FD2 comes out.

^ hope it really does come =) then it will be all sweet

If this thing comes out anything later than end of 2008.......do you think some ppl would have lost interest due to the model being around since 2006?

By then Evo 9's will be in the mid 30k range and people will be over the FD2R. It would probably still cost too much and too soon for grey imports to trickle in too. Personal import atm.

The duties on private importing, if permitted, would be quite high thus rendering the FD2R unfeasible to import unless you're a die hard fan or just have too much money to burn.

your allow to import FD2R if it is not for road use. like for Racing only.
then u can bring it in.

Are you an experienced importer? How much do you think it'll cost to bring one into Australia for racing only?

[BusterSonic12]

^ i m not an importer LOL so not sure how much.
But the official spoon distributor "Pro Concept" which is a workshop, they are planning to bring in a FD2R to join their Pro Concept Racing team.

Right now they got a FD2R engine tho, ready to be transfer into one of the three EK4.

It's still feasible because the brand new FD2R RRP is only AU$29,000 in Japan. Even if you add in $10,000 worth of import duties and fees, it's still only $40,000.

Too bad it can't be registered for use on the road...

[clem]

Yeah but if you really wanted to drive it on the road, just de-mod the exterior modifications and make it look like a stock civic sport

Hey bud, I can't help it but to comment on your avatar........do you realise honda under performed this year in F1? hehhehehhe jk.

hope they get back on their feet next season.

Good point about the EVO 9's being in the same price range by the time, if at all, the FD comes to play. Salivating at the day a R34 GTR is in the 30K bracket.
