generasi pertama (chassis EK9) (1997-2000)
The first Civic to receive the name 'Type R' is based on the 6th generation fan-base 'EK' Civic. The basic model that contributes is a 3-door JDM Civic hatchback called SiR, code named EK4. Like his older brother, Integra Type R DC2/JDM DB8, the transformation of the Civic SiR into Type R is achieved by working on the basic model and increasing it to Honda's idea of ​​a car capable of producing high performance on the circuit.
The first Civic to receive the Type R badge was introduced in August 1997, as EK9. EK9 shares many characteristics with the DC2/JDM DB8 Integra Type R such as lethal shutdown and other weight-loss measures, B16B port-hand engine, limited-slip differential helical front and close ratio gearbox. The B16B engine boasts one of the highest power outputs per liter over time for a naturally-aspirated engine with 185 PS (136 kW; 182 hp) of 1.6L engine displacement. For the first time, a strategically welded monocoque chassis is used to improve chassis rigidity. The interior features red chairs, red door cards, red Type R flooring, titanium shift knobs, and Momo leather steering wheel.
In 1998, the Civic Type R Motor Sports edition was released. It comes with steel wheels, no air conditioning, no power windows, no power steering, no radio, and comes with a standard Type R interior.
Model Type Rx is equipped with CD player, mirrored electric door mirror body, power window, automatic air conditioning, keyless unlock system, aluminum sports pedals, and carbon type central panel.

Generation 2 (EP3 chassis) (2001-2005)
In 2001 Honda introduced the next generation Civic Type R as a unique 3-door hatchback to the UK market, which was produced in Swindon, England. The European Civic Type R Domestic Market features 200 PS (150 kW, 200 hp) 2.0L i-VTEC engine (K20A2) and typical Type R treatment of seam welding, near 6 speed transmission ratio and enhanced brakes, but excludes some features other high-end, such as LSD helices and red Recaro racing seats, which are standard on previous generation EK9. However, Honda Japan is marketing the JDM (Japanese domestic market) version of the EP3 (which is exclusively manufactured in Swindon, England and shipped to Japan), which retains the very famous LSD helix similar to EK9 and the red Recaro race-seating. Other differences include a more track-oriented chassis/undercarriage arrangement compared to EDM, as well as the 215-PS (158-kW; 212Ã, hp) i-VTEC (K20A) engine having fully balanced crankshaft assembly with different intake manifolds, exhaust manifold, high lift camshafts, high compression pistons, chrome-moly mad wheel and ECU programming. All Type-R Japan Type-K powertrains are built in Japan and shipped to the Swindon plant for installation in Japan's Spec-R EP3. EP3 JDM is also available in a traditional Type R white championship whereas EDM does not. EDM has a more relaxed gear ratio and some high torque rpm are traded for low rpm torque compared to JDM.
EDM EP3 Civic Type R has been widely recognized by automotive journalists across the UK, winning the 'Hot Hatch of the Year' award more than once from the Top Gear , Fifth Gear and < i> What Car? . Civic Type R is becoming a popular alternative to mainstream drivers that record large sales figures. This 2001 CTR release ( C ivic T ype R ), as it is also called, also indicates Honda's return to Formula One after nearly 10 years as a machine supplier for Jordan and BAR teams - this eventually led to a full comeback as a dedicated F1 work team in 2005 with Honda gaining full ownership of British American Racing.
2004 saw this successful CTR updated with many improvements - revised EPS with faster steering, revised suspension settings, projector headlights (JDM comes with halogens only when EDM comes with options for HID with self-leveling motors), the clutch lighter and flywheel assembly etc.; based on Honda literature, this facelifted (FL) model is targeted to handle customers 'and critics' feedback such as understeer at the limit (due to front MacPherson strut setup), numbing steering response and lack of low end torque.
The base price for Civic Type R (EP3) 2001 in the UK is £ 23,100 (about US $ 34,650).
Performance (all figures are manufacturer claims)
0-60 mph in 5.8/6.5 seconds (JDM/EDM pre-FL), 5.8/6.4 seconds (JDM/EDM FL) 0-100 mph in 15.1/16 sec (JDM/EDM FL) Highest speed of 141 mph (227 km)/h) and 146 mph (235 km/h) (JDM/EDM)

The third generation Civic Type R is offered in two different forms: developed for the European market and one for the Japanese domestic market, which matches the availability of their 8th generation regular partners.
chassis FD2 (Asian version)
The Japanese Civic Type R (FD2) market went on sale on March 30, 2007. For the first time, the JDM Civic Type R was sold as a four-door sport sedan rather than a three-door hatch. Using the Japanese market is a four-door sedan as the basic model which means the new Type R is now bigger, wider and heavier. More importantly, the wheelbase has grown from 2,570 mm (101.2 inches) to 2,700 mm (106.3 inches), giving FD2R a more stable stance in high speed cornering.

The base machine itself is borrowed from the Accord Euro R CL7 with a longer intake manifold. Changes have been made to the block in case the mounting points for additional sections make it different from the previous K20A. New technologies like throttle drive-by-wire and port intake ports using techniques from NSX are implemented. Honda said the mid-range increased by 10 PS (7 kW; 10 hp). Drives are inserted through a close-ratio six-ratio gearbox, and the limited slip differential helix is ​​fitted as standard.

To save weight, aluminum is widely used and bonded with adhesives, not welded. Although the chassis is larger and more rigid than the JDM Integra Type R, it is only 70 kg (154 lb) heavier.
Wise exterior, the front bumper is wider and different from the aerodynamically designed Civic standard. The rear bumper has a diffuser mounted on the bumper and completes the aero package with large rear wing.

Type R also received new colors, with Premium White Pearl, Deep Violet Pearl Premium and Crystal Black Pearl added and Vivid Blue Pearl color dropped.
In back-to-back testing, the Civic Type R (FD2) averages 1 second faster than the Integra Type-R (DC5) in the Tsukuba Circuit and four seconds faster at the longer Suzuka Circuit.
In a back-to-back test on the UK TV program Fifth Gear, the FD2 Type-R is three seconds faster than the equivalent British FN2 version around Castle Combe Circuit in wet.
Only about 13,000 FD2 Civic Type R units were manufactured until production ceased in August 2010 due to failure to meet emissions requirements to come.
