The Civic Type R was only released in japan. You could always convert. Check a civic forum for more information. Course if you go there they're all gonna say they drive type R's :D

The Civic Type-R is available with leftside steering.
It`s part of the standard model list in europe.
I guess you should be able to get one from japan too, since they are made there.<p>Me, I`d rather get a `98 Eclipse GS-T or GSX :) <p>nope-mx3

Maximum torque is 196Nm (145lb-ft) at 5,900rpm, promising levels of performance better than of the Integra Type-R - the car that the Civic Type-R replaces. <hr></blockquote><p>[ February 05, 2003: Message edited by: Manach ]</p>

ok that is a left hand drive ctr but i think he was askin for a 98. ek chassis in left hand drive not the ep chassis. if u want one of those on this side of the ocean just drop a rsx type-s motor in. i dont know but i still dont think there are any left hand drive ctr's in the ek chassis<p>there are a lot of wannabe type-r's everywhere but its easy to spot them out if you know the differences. i think having a civic type-r would be different here cuz its probably one in a handful of millions of other cars here.<p>[ February 09, 2003: Message edited by: Steeb ]</p>
