Civic Type R $39,990 + On Roads

[Double R]

FD2R is overrated. None of you guys have driven one yet claim it's almighty.

Or maybe it's just part of the JDM fever?

FAIL yet again.

It's proven by many many road tests that the JDM Type R owns the FN2. Pleaes give up your FN2R anthem. The car sucks compared to the FD2R on the track. It is however a much better day to day prospect.

Proof #1 (vs EP3)

Proof #2 (vs FD2)

Proof #3 (vs NSX Type S Zero)

I never said FN2R you jackass. Wow you really are a fanboy.

[Double R]

Jeez Monty you really hate the FN2. I'm starting to wonder if you've had a bad experience with it or with someone who owns it. Ex gf or wife has one perhaps?

I never once said FN2 is better than FD2. So you can stop your Hate FN2 anthems pal. We hear you, god damn.

I don't get a thing you say. I posted hard evidence about the FD2R after you said it was overated. It's clear in those videos that the car lives up to the hype. It is a proper Type R as we know them to be.

Like DreadAngel said in another thread, we don't like the FN2, which we are entitled to, you do like it though, which I can understand but with so much negative press on the FN2 are we the only ones? Or is it really not the car it could've been. The blindness comes from FN2 owners that think the car is better than it really is. I'll admit my DC5 has some pretty major faults, but it was a much stronger package in it's day than the FN2 is when compared to it's modern day rivals.

It all needs to be settled at a track day. The EK9, DC2 and DC5 would all make a mockery of the FN2 at the track. Sure, we don't live on the track, but your consitant rants about how quick the FN2 is fall on deaf ears when all the evidence contradicts what you're saying.

You seriously try too hard to prove a point against one person.

I never once said FN2 is better than XXX or faster than XXX. Why make shiit up for?

Much like yourself, I'm allowed to criticize this and that but I never said anything about X being better than Y.

Stop having your panick attacks and learn to comprehend before rebutting.

This cool !

Some of you FN2R owners need to focking read a LITTLE closer...

You maybe satisfied with the EDM spec "Civic Type R" but you seem to be the only ones. The EDM spec CTR IS a make do compared to what Honda Australia could've got and that my friends is called the FD2R. Is that SO hard to get?

Double R don't make me quote up all your post, I'll bury you in your grave, sit down and read carefully what other people say. We know your prejudice against most other Hondas that show up your FN2R. You can't admit that your FN2R is inferior, in fact you say its superior because of age? Big whoop man! You've got problems if you think everyone on OH is caught up in this so-called JDM Fever. I'm sure as hell not...

bodaas, more interesting than your random post lol

Yeah i strongly agree. But at what price? I thought the reason we got the FN2R instead of the FD2R was so that it could be competitive against other hatches here on price. If Australia got the FD2R it *probably* would have been in the very high $40's (my guess) drive away, meaning it would not have appealed to anyone EXCEPT the die hard fans. Considering the other hot hatches available here that can be had for the haggled $40k drive away price.

Is it's performance any worse than the Evo IX or STi? From all accounts it's just as able round the track. No less streetable either. Sure it lacks that jump in and drive fast with AWD and turbocharging appeal, but I think to a purist the FD2R would stack up nicely.

The only concern I'd have is Honda Australia gimping the FD2R like they did the DC5R. Imagine if the car came out with less power, no Brembos, softer suspension, etc and a $49,990 or even higher price tag. I would pay $54k ish on the road for an FD2R but I'd want the real deal at that price.
