Don't canuck Rs have sidemarker signal lights also?

 

Yes they do have side markers and they come with the same shifter USDM CW R's came with.

 

Keep in mind that Canadian-spec 2000-2001 Type R's did NOT have standard A/C like their American counterparts. Canadian A/C systems were dealer installed, and the complete kit is no longer available. Shop carefully if this makes a difference to you. I needed to purchase the $1300 A/C kit when I got my 2001 Canadian Type R. It gets pretty hot here in N. Carolina.

By the way, what sidemarker lights are you talking about? The Canadian Type R's don't have fender mounted lights.

 

Wow, the red USDM-style seats really don't match the interior of the North American ITR's. Sorry Dean0, otherwise I'm quite jealous :P

 

You're right, kabob. I never did understand Honda's preoccupation with red seats. It's very '80s, if you ask me.

I chose the Canadian Type R because it was one of the only ways I could find a low mileage, Championship white Type R. Mine has about 7,100 miles (10k km) on it now. I could live without the red seats, but I LOVE Championship white.

 

so the 97-98 had a black shiftknob with red stitching??? where can i purchase one of those ~ the metal one pisses me off in both summer and winter.

Also it would match the JDM CTR shift boot very nicely.

 

I'll trade you seats deano?

 

Ummm, no thanks...

It was worth a try :lol:

 

DeanO, I noticed you have Washington plates on your R in that picture... how hard was it to buy it in Canada and register it in Washington. I'd like to do the same thing with a '01 CW R but I dunno how hard the steps are to getting one... What steps did you have to go through? Thanks
