there is no way to register it in nsw is there?

i personally don't think that is a type R, i reckon it's a normal civic done up to be a type R imo if you look closely at the interior

What looks suspicious? If it's not a real one, the owner must've spent a lot of effort to do it up to match it!

This looks like a race only FD2R (not road registrable) that was sold by Honda Japan.

They were sold with most of the interior and luxurious items missing because they expected the owner to personalise and modify the car to their own tastes. I think they were sold for about $14,000 AUD equivalent.

got the engine start button? only FD2R got them rite??

i reckon the only reason it cant be register because we already had the same 4 door civic FDs in australia,

its not like the 7th gen civic, we didnt have the 3 doors exactly alike EP3R at that time right

Its meant to be stripped for race use.

So they would of originally taken off the steering wheel, carpert, door and interior trims etc.

But maybe they just chucked on random bits to temp use to move it around who knows.

That is definately a manual gear box because you can see the shift linkages attached.

Steering wheel is different because they prob temp used one to move the car around, if you use the car for race use usually they change to a lighter and smaller wheel.

Steering wheel is covering the view of teh clutch pedal so u cant exactly confirm anything.

Pedals are definately the Type R ones.

Car definately has different engine you can tell from the IM, brakes look like they havent had any use at all.

CAr overall looks pretty legit to me, I dont think anyone would want to take the risk of doing it up to look like the real thing and sell it knowing people might complain.
