Bitch fight!...

No seriously guys, ease up a little.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and approach to this sort of thing. It's what makes them feel good and proud of what they drive, only to a certain extent of course.

Moons, let it be dude, if people want to make their cars "like" the real Type-R's then it's their own choice, no need to defend the "Type-R's" and for what it lives for. I know how you feel buddy but it's how things are since we can't get the real FD2R here.
We live in democracy!...LOL

Honda made this scene to attract drivers like us and envy their Formula One and Type-R's, so those who can't get one can choose to replicate it at their own free will, however they choose to, so long as they have the money.

If you want to find someone to blame for all this, well really the blame should go to those government bodies who deals with the importation of these "special" vehicles alongside Honda Australia. And I'm sure they would have reasons for not bringing these in as mass market.
Also you need to remember that the Australian Government would want to protect local jobs so those Ford's and Holden manufacturing factories would stay ashore helping local families and the economy. Hence, more of those here but crap cars I know.

To get to my point and hopefully ease the net-tension, I think the Red H suffices for everyone and let's leave it at that. But, having the "Type-R" decal is a bit overboard and really shouldn't be put on an FD unless it has the heart that makes it a "Type-R".

All in all, it's whatever pleases the individual and their taste. So let's relax and help Underbelly achieve what he wants to do, if we can, and since it is his thread.

It's a shame we can't get a true FD2R as a local market vehicle, I'm sure many of us would be eager to buy one, I know I would.
