In 2001 Honda introduced the next generation of the Civic Type R (EP3) as a unique 3 door hatchback to the UK market, which was manufactured in Swindon, England. This EDM (European Domestic Market) Civic Type R featured a 200 PS (150 kW; 200 hp) 2.0L i-VTEC engine (K20A2) and the regular Type R treatment of seam welding, close ratio 6-speed transmission and uprated brakes, but did not include some of the other higher-end features, such as the helical LSD and red Recaro race-seats, that were standard in the previous generation EK9. However, Honda Japan still developed a JDM (Japanese domestic market) version of the EP3 (which was also manufactured in Swindon, but shipped to Japan for finishing touches), which retained the highly renowned helical LSD similar to that of the EK9 and red Recaro race-seats. Other differences included a more track-oriented chassis/undercarriage settings as compared to the EDM, as well as a 215 PS (158 kW; 212 hp) i-VTEC engine (K20A) with different intake manifold,exhaust,camshafts and ECU programming. The JDM EP3 was also available in the traditional Type R championship white while the EDM was not. The EDM has more relaxed gear ratios and some high rpm horse power traded for low rpm torque compared to the JDM .

The EDM EP3 Civic Type R was much acclaimed by motoring journalists across the UK, winning 'Hot Hatch of the Year' awards more than once from Top Gear, Fifth Gear and What Car?. The Civic Type R became a popular alternative for mainstream drivers clocking huge sales numbers. The 2001 release of this CTR, as it is commonly referred to, also indicated Honda's return to Formula One after almost 10 years as an engine supplier to the Jordan and BAR teams - this eventually led to the full-fledged comeback as a dedicated F1 works team in 2005 with Honda gaining full ownership of British American Racing.

2004 saw this successful CTR updated with many improvements - revised EPS with quicker steering, revised suspension settings, projector headlamps (JDM=HID, EDM=halogen), lighter clutch and flywheel assembly etc; based on Honda literature, this facelifted (FL) model was targeted at addressing customers' and critics' feedback such as understeer on the limit (due to the front Macpherson strut setup), numb steering response and lack of low end torque.

Performance (all figures are manufacturer claims)

0-60 mph in 6.4/6.4 seconds (JDM/EDM pre-FL), 6.2/6.4 secs (JDM/EDM FL) 0-100 mph in 15.1/16 secs (JDM/EDM FL) Top speed 147 mph (237 km/h) and 152 mph (245 km/h) (JDM/EDM both)

Your car was Made in England mate

Yeah, they were all made in the UK.

 

thanks man for the info

 

Hence the ugly UK badge that people put on the back of their cars

 

base on gran turismo information

When the seventh-generation civic made its debut in september 2000, the 5-door hatchback and 4-door sedan took the spotlight in the line up, as the 3-door hatch lost its luster to japanese buyers. That didn't stop Honda from completely abandoning the 3 door, as it imported them into japan from its manufacturing plant in Swindon, UK, including the Type R, which explains its european look. The Type R stretched 162.7 inches from front to rear bumper, sat 66.7 inches wide and stood 56.2 inches tall, making it the only civic ever that was shorter and taller than the outgoing model.

The heart of the Type R was still strong, beating through a 2.0-liter dohc inline-4 with i-VTEC-- the base civics were powered by a 1.5-liter and a 1.7-liter four cylinder. The "i" in i-VTEC stood for "intelligent," meaning it actuated different cam lobes at different speeds, enabling the engine to act efficiently. Output was impressive, turning out 212 HP at 8000 rpm and 148.9 ft-lb of torque at 7000. it was mated to a 6-speed manual transmission, whose shifter was mounted on the center dash. The suspension
setup-MacPherson struts up front and double wishbone at rear-did a commendable job of providing excellent handling balance and smooth ride. The car's look was slightly updated in 2004 in the form of a new grille.
