e.g. they wont get that car above in japan?

Correct.

JDM is the Sedan and UK/EU is the Hatch.

I hadn't noticed how different the front end is between the UK version and the JDM. Not sure which one I prefer. I think the UK version. Just great isn't, I like the front of one and the rear of the other

Perhaps I'll see if Honda will do me a cut and shut

I've never imported a car before, but a mate from work imported his MR2 so I am sure he would be able to fill me in on any details. If I decided to go for it. I think I'll be keeping mine for another 6 months to a year and half before I make any final decisions. A lot can happen in that time.

As said, its not going to be easy.

Older cars, such as the mr2 are simple to import.

New cars however, are more complex unless they are hugely popular (in importing terms) such as evo's and scooberoos.

Now THAT is a good looking Honda.

Looks like a Teg which can only be a good thing.

Team Dynamics are apparently building 2 new Civic Type-R's to run in the BTCC next season. Having seeing those pictures I wonder if they will be using the Jap version as it looks much more aerodynamic than the UK version, and similar to the Integra which has been very successful for them.
