i saw this on ebay and was intrigued:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1872276817
anyone hear of any other companys importing CTR's? i was just curious how rare left hand drive versions will be, since i had no idea any would be released...

 

that is interesting, if its the same price as the si, or around it would be super ILL! can't wait to see what happens wit that

 

they should leave the RHD and in KM's tho

 

It probably is already RHD and wasn't converted (remember Japan isn't the only place these come from). The only thing interior-wise they may have changed is the cluster.

 

from the ebay description "All vehicles are left hand drive and in miles per hour"

 

its probably from france or germany or some other place in europe....not england though.

 

they left out whether or not it will be legal for street use, and a lot of th eCTR features... is it truly a CTR or have they "made" one with parts bolted onto a Civic Si? Sounds like buyer beware... but I would want a CTR in an instant! A gutted for low weight, race version, with jumbo Brembos up front and one Recaro is my dreamcar.

 

these seem to be the Euro CTR's...only Europe got the 30th edition since they get jipped on the Recaros

 

wow according to this article, its not supposed to reach the U.S. at all...

here are some pics for the lazy ppl:

 

Yeah, the guys selling this on eBay are importers that rechip or add an aftermarket ECU, to pass US emissions. They also do Lancers EVO's.

 

the guy selling it also has "0" feedback and just changed his username......

 

Also doesn't give me much confidence that there are no photos of the acutal car – those look like company photos.

 

Do CTRs come in black and red? ... black maybe... but red im not too sure about.... silver and white for sure tho...

 

Yes the Euro CTR comes in Red

 

the company selling the CTR's on ebay import them... you will never be able to just walk up to a dealership and buy a CTR... they import them and convert them to pass US emission laws... they do the same with the Lancer EVO VII's they have been doing it for a long time..

 

i also tried their website and it hadnt even been registered yet, the domain name that is.

Anyone tried calling them? I'm going to today. I'd sell my car in a sec to have a brand new type R.....

 

your hatch looks dope
