Honda Civic Type RR

[vinvin]

Currently in Hong Kong for holiday so i met up with Bill (hkka) from CS.
He took me around to look for parts for my clio in Hong Kong and we came across this "workshop" which sold brand japanese aftermarket parts along the lines of Trust, HKS etc...

When we arrived we saw THREE Civic Type RR's, a load of track DC5's few DC2's (no memory so no pics), an EK and a NSX...

I'd be f**king livid if I was a Honda fan tbh. Thats like us having the 197 over here, and France getting a 197 with a Meggy lump........ Its what the car should have been from launch....

Pmsl @ DZ Racing though. Are they snidey OZ ? Or they legit ? (I read about the taiwanese bit)


"He just came into's Harry's with a list, he's going to be running three civics, with spoon engines man"

nah, its not a chrome DC5 just fully vinyled one, and those DZ Racing alloys are legit.

 

[Fletcher]

Looks cool. I remember the 5th gear review of japans type R (not sure how different the RR is to that) and it was a lot faster than the UK R. They said it was wicked on the track but pretty much unbearable on UK roads due to the stuff suspension.

Wow. Original NSX-R. Want so bad... You should have gotten more pictures of that rather than the shitty Civics!

 

[ado]

Is that one on a chinese plate or something?

Got anymore pics of the NSX? For sale?

 

[hkka]

Be honest, for you guy who want Jap cars, you should import from Japan. The Japanese keep their cars very new and care them well.

We have a website in HK which they help u to bid on the Japanese auction site (like Yahoo, the most popular in Japan. Japanese are 90% not ship oversea on their auction items), they can help u to bid and transport the car to other country.

They have link to what you are looking for, this is in English.
Doesn't has to be car, can be car parts as well.

You mean NSX Type R

Great pics.

Love the FD2 RR's!

 

[Englebert]

Lets not be doubting my NSX knowledge Cwistopher. You will fail. They were never called Type Rs. They did a Type S, Type S Zero and NSX-R.

 

[Christopher]

Exactly as i thought... I pwn TBH. Original ones were Type-R's

Honda produced a very limited number of NSX type R in 1992 for Japan. Major changes include a more aggressive suspension and an extensive weight reduction to 1230 kg from the normal NSX weight of 1350 kg. The NSX type R was very track oriented as it lacked sound deadening, audio, electric windows, and air conditioning in an effort to reduce weight. The NSX type R's role was replaced by the NSX type S Zero in 1997.


A second iteration of the type-R dubbed NSX-R was released in 2002, again exclusively in Japan. The NSX-R has a more aggressive rear spoiler and hood vent, along with various refinements to reduce weight to 1270 kg. Under the body, panels and air fences in the front, along with a small rear diffuser serve to produce balanced downforce. The subtle changes along with its renowned handling have kept NSX-R in contention on the track even against considerably higher-powered cars, such as the Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale, whose Nurburgring Nordschleife lap time it nearly tied.

Next week, lets not base our facts on Wikipedia.
