A Literally DIY FD2 CTR, dubbed as FD1.
-
I was surfing the type-r-owners.co.uk forums and i came across a topic which said that a thai, or the Thailand honda has Made their own FD2 Type Rs from the normal civics we see on the road: Spoiler, seats, exhaust, Rims, Brakes, Bumpers even the red badge on the steering wheel has been changed. You name it, they've changed it.
However, they didnt change one thing: The engine. Its guessed that the Thai Government didnt allow engine change and import of the K20a motor.
Felt hilarious and shocked after seeing the pics. ( View from bottom to top)

I think importing a FD2 type r would cost less (overall) than doing so much to a normal civic.
Comments? Thoughts?
CAN YOU SPOT THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A REAL ONE AND A FAKE FD2? -
The picture shown are nice... It looks about the same to me, need to have some interior photos?
it will be great

There are interior pics... They are so very alike. but got some differences.
My apologies, FD1 is the chassis of the normal civics and FD2 is redone chassis for the CTR. -
In the local context, FD1 = 1.8l civic, and FD2 is the normal 2l civic.

definitely real. thai's can do better with Honda. they mod Kupchai Honda bikes REALLY good.
edit : i dont know why, but the front of the FD1 looks kinda off from the FD2. it's just the way i look at it. -
even if it looks the same...it'll handle differently....the chassis defnitely has been spot welded in many places and i'm guessing that suspension geometry will be slightly different...
