The market for them is so small, it's pointless.


But the problem is that hoda don't even try to make offerings like these to the uk market.

we get the nsx but not the nsx r

we get the s2000 but not the cr

we get the civic but only the "semi skimmed" version and not the "full fat" model

I know its a small market but it is worthwhile look at how many of us spend our hard earned trying to turn the car in to what it should have been all along.

The UK S is the Type S/CR without the 2.2 litre engine, the front bumper/rear spoiler.

Suspension wise it is identical.

The market is small which means Grey Import.

I have no problem with that.

And whats more I like spending my hard earned mucking about with cars - its a journey

Are you sure?
I have a detailed S2000 suspension test in a yank magazine at home.
The spring rates and damping are definately different on the US CR model.
Is the UK variant not the same then?

PS "My car is mucking about with my hard earned "
"Its not a journey, it's a road to fecking bankruptcy"
