We just may get the JDM CTR in Australia.

I however have driven a FD2R whilst I was in malaysia, and dead set, it is not all that you make it out to be. My stock EP3R would give it a run on the streets.

so how does FD2R and EP3R compare? would love to know.

IMO Honda did not bring the FD2R to Australia due to the fact that people who have 40K + to spend on a car would not buy it. And the dreamers who want to buy it is just that. If I was to buy a track car and had over 40Ks to spend, I'd buy a STI or EVO anyday.

to be honest with you, if FD2r comes here i'd buy one if it's not much more expensive than FN2R. purely because it's 4drs as i have to drive around the kids. FN2 is acceptable as it's spacious but the extra doors would seal the deal.

The suspension would probably be too stiff for your kids though...

well if Honda Japan has baby seat on its option list then i wouldn't consider that as a problem.

The baby seat is a generic option across the range. You'll see the same baby seat as an option in the other Honda cars/vans.

Putting a baby in a Type R? Do that on Sydney roads and your baby will be brain damaged before he can say his first word.

sorry i don't live in sydney....

dont know much about baby seats but dont they need to be put in the middle of the back seats?

i thought fn2r was 4 seater

there is no requirement on where u have to put it except:
- not at front seat if there is an airbag;
- not at positions where there is no direct fixing point.

in practice, many people place the child seat on the left rear seat as it's easier to load and unload from the kerb.

Ahhh, I see. I stand corrected. Imagine the potential of starting the kids from young.

I wonder if you can get it here in Aus? I suggested a baby seat for the FN2R to a dealer last weekend and he laughed...at least they have serious options in Japan!
