fd2r importing??

[aaronng]

but realize or not, BMW (and Merc) always 1 level above Honda.
whatever the reason, we always want at the higher (and highest) class (of everything).
FD2R or S350 (if same price, lets say talk bullshit), the choice is urs

anyway, police ride horses for cruising

FD2R and S350 are still different classes though... One does better on the track, the other better for daily driving and on the freeway. I think it is better to compare the Legend to the S350, but I'd pick the Merc if I could afford it.

I have an E46 M3. Great chassis and handling. It'll outperform any Honda. But I still love my Hondas!

NSX-R vs E46 M3 on a track

I'd still go for FD2R, for personal reasons after working in automotive industry for sometime now

NSX-R is probably 2.5 times the price of an E46 M3... how can you compare them?

well he made the blanket statement "It'll outperform any Honda"
NSX-R is a Honda, all i said was that it couldn't beat it

Back to the original topic post... am I the only one who says "wtf?". Send it in parts from Japan?

There are other countries which sell the FD2R which are nearer to Australia and much easier to bring into Aus. I admit I don't know much about it so I am a n00b, but I'm not... that dumb. >__>

As for the e92 vs. FD2R. Whilst you can't compare apples with oranges, a simple "which one would you pick?" is the best way to decide on the winner.

most people look down at Honda and say 'its just a Honda with non turbo motor, a family car and a cruiser. it's just another jap car."

then I will say what the aussies love to say "you are a bl**dy idiot" "these are not just a straight line cars"

look at the history, the technology, R&D, chassis build behind it. lol

anyway, back to topic!

Even if you bring the FD2R in part by part and reassemble it here, you can't register it for road use.

Hello.. I've heard you cant import a fd2r into au melb?
well cant u buy a f2dr from jap.. pull the who damn thing apart..
then ship it to melb? a couple of parts at a time?
I know it would cost more.. but is it possible?? =))

would you take it up the ass for a jdm fd2?

[Drew]

can you even do that? i thought u had to be a jap citizen or something.

Don't know about owning a car in Japan but to bring cars into Australia under Personal Import Scheme you need to be an Australian citizen or traveling to Australia on the appropriate visa (New Zealand qualifies immediately)...

Then there are all the other prerequisites you must meet before you are giving the import approval

if i was rich and DID NOT wanna live in japan for a year i would buy a normal FD civic.. buy a FD2R from japan or wherever they are sold..strip the shit out of it.. import parts in a container.. and then whack it onto my normal FD.. then sell those normal parts for spares! helluva lot of work.. but like i said earlier.. "if i was rich and DID NOT wanna live in japan for a year"

I thought this thread is ABOUT IMPORTING AN FD2R into Australia and not about comparing cars???

Stick to the topic before this thread starts to see it's end of life
