This is awesome. Good for you. Did you get it from Honda Canada. If yes, wonder why US owners are not getting the same.

Whaaaat. I just went to the Honda USA CTR page and requested a brochure, too. I doubt they'll send me anything extra, but you never know.

 

[stevescivic]

Yeah it from Honda head office. I called to ask for a Type R specific brochure b/c our US friends can get a free copy of it straight from Honda US and not wanting to feel "shafted" and not get any sales literature specific to our cars that I called and the lady on the phone said "we have nothing to give out to people including brochures of any sort". She did say she's rummage around the office to see what she could find and then this box shows up at my doorstep!

In other words, I certainly got a LOT more than I was expecting. Sadly the side mirror on the model car fell off the moment I finished recording the video. It looks like it just pops into a hole and that it just wasn't snug from the toy factory. Easy fix but now I have to OPEN the toy model and that would depreciate the value of it!

Oh well, I'm thanking the higher powers @ Honda for looking after me

Hopefully luck is on your side I know today it was for me...sort of that is... my CRX's new tires have already developed a leak along the rim bead... BAH!

You’re most welcome! I was hesitant on sharing because I didn’t want to come across as bragging but I couldn’t hold back from sharing with other Honda enthusiasts!

Makes me want to get the matching championship white type r for my wife to drive

 

[shihabp79]

Well shoot, I'd brag too haha.

Now I have to be on the hunt for a crystal black pearl model car... THAT would be way cool.

 

[shihabp79]

Holy crap, that TSM Model car is worth $55 and isn't even out yet. Honda really did hook you up

Yeah I found hat website last night too and it shows only as pre-order. So cool!

I may have to end up with the toy version if they don't start producing more of these things. Thanks for sharing.

 

[stevescivic]

There is a pre-order for those darned TSM models too! It is like the CTR was deliberately made to be in limited numbers even for their toy equivalents!

Looking at the price it is $55.00 USD. It should be really $35 USD but that toy looks like it too, has a $20 ADM equivalent markup!

All I got from Honda was a bill.

AND
possibly a 2nd gear crunch and 5th to 4th lockout?

No crunch. No lockouts. Car drives beautifully. Only complaint I have about the car is Honda should have taken a little more time to ensure the outside cosmetics were QC'd better; paint and gaps.
