My Civic Type R

Having admired these since first seeing them many years ago I was in a position to get one after getting good money for my s2000.

The car was was imported earlier this year and has 46k miles on it. Championship cream paint - I'm not much of a white car fan but I think it shows off the lines well in this colour.

Pretty standard apart from:
Honda Modulo adjustable dampers and 10mm lowering springs.
Cusco braces all over the place.
Spoon wing braces.

So far I love it!
The handling is amazing, even on poor rubber and the steering is so sharp and responsive - like the s2k.

First small touches were to remove the Civic badge from the tailgate and to wrap the upper part of the grille gloss black.

I actually considered an fd2 just before buying my dc5 last week... Beautiful car, and really special. Enjoy it. Oh and it'shuge difference to the s2g. They actually say this has the spirit of the nsx about it, and in Japan they refer to it as a 4 door NSX.

Forget about the s2g, even the prelude type s is better than that....

Congratulations u got a beast

I'm surprised people have not heard of the FD2 Civic. This was the only Civic Type R of this era Japan land got.

It's a completely different animal to the wacky UK spec fn2.
