Well, spotted overseas. A good friend of mine was on his honeymoon and visit a bunch of different countries and islands. While at the Grand Caymans he spotted this CTR (right hand drive with red recaros) and snapped a pic for me. What a guy!

 

Looks like a girl driving, judging by the hands . . .

Sweet ride.

 

Hmmmm... Where are the Type R stickers???

 

hmmm, i dont know. Am I noticing 4 lugs as well. I didnt pay too close attention before. But it being right hand drive and with recaros and CW paint could it be anything else? Think someone over there would go that far in making "look" like a CTR?

I guess anything is possible.

 

I am guessing it is a guy, due to the "Tony's toys" sticker on the bumper. But then again, it might be a girl, and they both are his toys
Very nice ride, but I agree.. not a CTR.

looks like a 5 lug to me. take a look at the rear lugs...you can see 4 and the 5th is hidden.

yshi - who thinks those are enkei rp01 wheels

 

It looks like the top lug is straight on top of the bottom one.

 

thats 4 lug . look at the back tire there is way to much space between the bottom lug and the right lug for it to be 5 lug

 

If you look at the lugs in comparison to the spokes they line up underneith each other so you can kinda guess where the others would be. Either way CTR lips, paint, wing, seats. If it aint real, damn that's a good job.

i think yoshi is right, there seems to be a lug in-line with each of the 5 spokes. hard to tell from that pic tho.

 

Civic Type R's were 4 lug I believe the 1st year they came out. I know Tony and he gets authentic Japanese cars (No ****).

 

Do they drive on the left side of the road down there, or is that a one-way street? I see a Taurus wagon over there, too (probably LHD).

My vote is that they are five luggers......fugger

 

either way that car is very nicely done. so clean!

 

Were pre-97 CTRs 4-lug? What was the first year of JDM, GCDM (Grand Cayman ) CTR?

 

I was in Grand Cayman a while back....a lot of nice cars down there. Besides all tegs having JDM front ends, I saw a few evolutions, supras and a skyline or two.

Too bad the cars are never clean down there though....always dirty.

 

I dunno... looks nice and all, but it really does look like a four bolt pattern

FYI, CTR's never came in 4 bolt, always 5 bolt. also, CTR's were available from model year 98 onwards.

from the appearance of the rear tailights, this would be a 98 spec CTR as only 98 spec cars had amber in the tailight. 99 onwards had white, just like 99+ civic hatchbacks in the US

 

I think it looks sweet!

 

It's a toss up, but i think it's five-lugs. I would bet that the 96 CTR had 4-lug, because even the 96 ITR had 4-lug in JDM land.

 

As I said in my post, CTR are 5 bolt only and available from 98 onwards

 

sick car
i think 5 lug...

 

lookin good

 

You can also see the CTR style muffler and the rear silver tie brace...

 

Good thinking! I dig those wheels.

 

nice R
i thinks it's a 5 lug...
