So the Accord Euro R was only sold in the Japan market. Based on the lack of overall upkeep of the vehicle I didn’t get the overall sense that this was the real deal that had been imported. That and it seems to lack the sports seats found in the R. Of course there is chance it is real deal and the owner changed the seats to standard LOL.

Just checked the registration on the local roads authority website to confirm my suspicion. https://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/regi...nquiry-results
This car has the chassis/engine number of the standard Euro. Both the R badge and the position of the “Euro” are fake!

Ah ok, some of the euro R/Type R’s did look pretty much like a standard Honda

In Aus, no shortage of Type R and Fake-Type R drivers still stuck in the early fast & furious days wanting to race at every night. Although based purely on memory, I think the only Honda that featured in FF series was s2000 in the first FF anyway. No shortage of fake Ms in Aus for that matter either lol

Haha. I actually just assumed fake at first but then got genuinely curious once asked the question, as sometimes there is the odd ginuwine JDM import floating about.

This amazing Mposter Roadster is for sale if y’all are interested!

It’s the extremely rare single tailpipe version. ��

Just noticed the registration expired in April!

Got stuck behind this. Not only is the //M badge annoying, they were so slow they ended up getting me stuck at this light and then behind a bunch of slow driving cars on a two lane road. Will it never end!?!?!?
