I just wanted to create a post of my bro's USDM Type R that he has here in Jamaica. Unlike in the US, the USDM Type R is very rare here. We have plenty JDM Type Rs and only 2 USDMs and 1 EDM Type R.

He posted it for sale yesterday for US$9500. It's come a long way, going to be sad to see it go.

 

 

that thing is sexy, love the engine specs

 

Theres some great cars in Jamaica.

 

Jamaican' me crazy mon!


Nice R though, what splitter?

 

lol... it's not actually a splitter, its a rubber lip that he installed under the front lip. helps protect the lip from being scratched. the car was lower when he installed it but he's raised a bit since installing the new headers.

 

your bro has good taste! first time ive seen the rear bumper with cf vinyl wrap on it, i was thinking about doing that myself, right now its just painted black. What sideskirts are on the first few pics?

 

Thanks... I've decided that I can't let him sell it so I've sold my USDM Civic Si and I'm buying it from him today

I already have a few other parts that I'm going to being installing over the next 2 weeks to clean up the engine bay some more

You know I have no idea what brand or design those sideskirts are. I was told at one point that they were mugen but I've never seen mugen sideskirts of that design. The only ones that i've seen that are similar are the zeal sideskirts. Can anyone confirm? I'll be reinstalling them on the car tho since i've always liked them.

 

 

Post up some more pics nuh man
