You need some curb compliance on the track for sure. Otherwise hitting curbs at pace upsets the balance of the car a LOT.
Right at the moments you need it least. (apex + exit)

how many delivery kms did the car come with?

11 klm.

I'm bummed that there is no adjustment to change Oz-delivered cars from boost displayed in kPa to psi.
I saw some youtube vids with psi displayed, and assumed well, it must be a setting somewhere. But when I dug-in to look, it's not there.
Just so you know.

I found something I don't like about the CTR

Has no one else received a delivery date yet ?

I went in to sign the contract and it states “ETA Nov 2025”, no VIN number and awaiting production. I did however choose the internal illumination package .

The US offers way more OEM extras on their website than here. I was contemplating the forged 19 inch wheels but they don’t offer them through the dealers. In a way kind of relieving as I feel I would have regretted it if they sold them but I didn’t get them.

Was told delivery will be early November. No contract or any information received in writing from dealer or Honda.

Don't worry too much about the no contract thing. They can't do a final contract without a VIN, I think. That would be what they're probably waiting for....

Did anyone else get the email yesterday afternoon offering…

“To purchase the Carbon Fibre Spoiler or any other Type R accessories individually, contact your local Honda Centre.”

Not sure what other Type R accessories there maybe.

Interested to hear from anyone with insights.

I did not get this email but when I went in to redo the contract then I got the option to pick accessories. There aren’t as many options compared to if you try to build a car on the American website. They offer the carbon fibre wing for about $5000. There are the usual dealer paint protection options and window guards which look ugly. The only thing that was interesting is the internal illumination kit which I went for which also included mats.
Prospeedracing website sells all the extras you can get from the states which we do get through the dealers like boot mats, OEM leather gear knob, OEM wheel locks etc. There are places you can get the forged 19 inch wheels if you want again for around $5000

Awesome news Adam. It's worth the wait.

Great news Adam. Do you know the build date on yours? Was your contract signed around 11/9/25?

 

[Adam123]

It says that the production date is 05/09/2026 so literally 2 weeks ago

Thanks for sharing. Seems like delivery about 2 weeks earlier than "early November" advice, which is nice.

Based off Josh's production date and delivery date seemed to be a lead time of 61 days. I estimated build date (for expected early Nov delivery) of 8/9/25. So close to yours.

I just got back from a business trip to Melbourne. Saw a nice red FL5 on Saturday coming up Lonsdale & Elizabeth. Had some upgraded rims and exhaust. I think the plate had SlowR in it
