whats good ... is it even possible to get a civic type r in america and if it is how much about?

 

[phantom-civic]

with money nothing is impossible. Just buy a s2k, or turbo a si. you could do a full conversion with enough cash.

 

[Chase]

lol another one of these, Yes you can get one if you have the money, Which I assume you don't.

 

[siracing17]

how expensive are they

 

[jackolee]

how ever much japan sells them for and import is alot

 

[DTNguyen107]

Even if you buy a type R. Expect it to be sitting at the docks over in Japan for a while (A LONG WHILE). Has to go thru customs and etc.

 

[furryferret7888]

and has to get american glass and bla bla bla

 

[jackolee]

yea they will probably mod it to meet the U.S. standards

exactly, or you'll only be able to use it for off-road or display purposes i thinks.

Si w/ boltons/reflash and suspension upgrades. Just do that and you'll be quicker than a type r.

 

[jackolee]

^ idk about that comment but you will be quicker for sure

1. Purchase Civic Type-R from Japan.

Approximate Price for Civic Type-R without ANY OPTIONS. That means no radio, no lighter, nothing:
$31 209


2. Pay for customs.
3. Pay for conversion to pass US Inspections and Regulations.

Going to need the type R diff and tranny with those mods, then you will keep up. You got to remember, the CTR is lighter than an Si Coupe (not by much though, but still) with more power and shorter gears and a better diff to put that power to the ground. Then with the CTR being soooooo much stiffer and has a lower cg (not just due to lower ride height but things like the lack of a sun roof) than the Si, you are going to need serious suspension upgrades to keep up.

never mind the price and everything, but yes that is true, with all that mods you'll be faster than the Type R, a stock one at least, but a moderate mods type r, not a chance.

 

[The Shishpanik]

I know that was a stretch, but for the money you'd save over getting the type-r, you'll be very happy with the outcome.

Yes adding those mods will be faster than a Type R but seriously, how much people you know can say they own a CTR. Anyone with a SI can add bolt ons, suspension, etc, but not everyone can get a CTR in the states.

It's just like the Mugen Si. It maybe 30K for just a civic, people could buy faster cars, but how much people could get a Mugen Si.

 

[SoLegit]

The cost?

Way more than any compact car is worth.

 

[NIGHTHAWKSI]

^ exclusivity is priceless to some.

i would think 50k would probably cover the entire process. and it doesnt seem too bad of a price considering a mugen si can cost about 40k after taxes...

Based on NHTSA rules a mule car would need to be provided for crash test purposes and more than likely the Civic type R would not pass US emissions. If you are lookign to drive it on the streets you would be looking at some serious cash because you would have to buy more than one and have work done to make it pass emissions.
