Haven't driven it mate no, but heard it is the absolute fucking nuts! Like I said before, all due to my mate being a hardcore Honda fan he's got me into this shit

I still don't like UK CTRs though, earlier versions yes and both the DC2 and DC5 tegs. But the JDM Type R is meant to be sooo much better than the UK spec. Much better drivers car.

UK CTR is getting a limited slip diff and championship white with white wheels option next year, apparently because the japs were complaining that they never got the 3dr version. Not sure if we're getting the power upgrade, but at least the LSD is a start.


Cheers,

its abit of an improvement with the, LSD extra 25bhp, short shift, and better brakes but the CTR in general is still an awesome drivers car difference been you have to actually drive them

The higher power output is noticeable too.

The downsides:

Poor quality paintwork and cheap interior. The UK spec cars have better quality plastics. (paintwork is important to me )

Apart from that, no downsides really...

With Honda, the Japs to get the quicker models. On the other hand normally with Nissans, we get the quicker models IMHO.

The blue one above is exactly like the one I took a look at. Same colour too, that red one is a RR Mugen Ltd Edtn. They are silly money with only a little more power.

Pani_k,

The chap selling them told me that the UK doesn't receive these because they wouldn't make as much profit when selling. The JDM car cost much more to manufacture.

Regards

If your idea of preventative maintenance on a 15 year old performance car is topping up the oil then you deserved for it to set on fire.

Your the one talking shit making stupid statements about who makes the best car......all i'm doing is putting objective comments across, such as the ctr vs st and you bite like a baby because you cant take it.

I've already told you I love some of the Honda's so it's not like i'm making a stupid ford vs honda comment like yourself. I just cant stand the fucking shite you talk so i'll have my say as well.
