New 05 Integra info on Aus Honda website

Type Rs are just not coming this way.

[Hawk]

The Type S is apparently 'more suited to Australia's needs' ....dunno.... BUT it does have more power than the Aus delivered Type R

[kiddoDC2]

the aus delivered type r is detuned to 200hp cause of the CR and 98 ron fuel in oz
its still a type r but one built for honda australia
same deal with the euro spec ep3 civic type r which is also detuned to 200hp

[spoondc2]

More power than Type-R but heavier, so no point

Detuned....... It's just the excuses of aus govt, they are trying to protect their Holdens and stuff...... what a selfish pig, everything is about tax, i rather pay more to get parts from oversea, i don't even want to get crappy parts from aust although sometimes it's cheaper

I just don't see how bad is 98RON and need to detune something which requires 95RON only

[SPEEDCORE]

Comments on RON always crack me up..... its all in the tuning.

The powers that be are affraid that it will not hold up, or are lazy to invest money into further tuning so as to produce good numbers on our fuel.

I guess Honda Aust. don't want to have happen to them what happened to Subaru quite a few years ago with the first wave of STi's that came in.

it wasnt the aus govt decision to release the detuned versions
it was hondas decision as they did not want to deal with warentee issues with the type rs if they are selling a car that is built to run on their 100+ ron petrol

in countries outside japan the official honda dealers usually do not sell the JDM type r models , only the private importers do

[vincent]

I don't think the petrol issue is that major due to the new cars having a better fuel management and ECU that will compensate for different petrol ratings

The new typeS definately looks good, especially from the inside. From what i've read its 1160kg so with leather interior and all the extras theres nothing to complain about. That and the extra few kw's it looks like alot better deal than the TypeR we currently have.

[faijai]

new teg looks shit imo.
and the luxury rims look better den the type s rims!!

[kenshin]

how many jdm DC5's have you seen?
pretty much next to impossible to get one...

[gelo]

honda australia are cool
you know they are when a type S is more powerful than a type R

[R123]

i ve seen the new TYPE S at the motor show... er.. jz a bit mixed feelins, feel a bit disappointed that they wont bring ne TYPE Rs into aus.. reasons for da, i guess some of u guys have already pointed it out.. personaly i wont spend more than 40K to buy the TYPE S... not saying the car is crap, but i guess da prices could also opens to many other options too..
i ve always passionate the TYPE Rs.. since the DC2.. and i am very forunate to have my own DC5 in my garage... i dont drive it every day but i jz find it hard to express the excitement by words of lookin at it every day...
well... i agree da oz DC5 missed a few things like bremo breaks and a slighly "de-tuned" engine, but bcos i havent seat on a JDM DC5, i cant tell u the diff but all i can say is, my DC5 can still bring me the joy and fun of owning a FF + NA car..
heheehhe
