http://www.motorauthority.com/honda-...-for-2009.html

Crowning the range is the Civic Type R, which for 2009 receives a limited slip differential. Initial testing at Japan’s Tsukaba circuit has shown a 1.44 second improvement in lap times compared with the previous model.

The updated Type R models are distinguished by their ‘Championship White’ paint finish, 18in alloy wheels, and black chrome used on badges, door handles, fuel lid and front grille. (quoted from site)

I think you're right.
There may be a facelifted FN2 with the inclusion of the lsd to follow later on.
I very much doubt that we will get the face lifted version in Australia.
The next Type R,IF we get it( which I also doubt),will probably be the 9th generation Civic.
