Honda has announced that they will be selling "OneMake" race-stripped <a href="http://www.streetseen.vi/?p=11">Civic Type-R</a>s...ready to be built for track work. The car features the same 220hp KA20 from the full featured Type-R, although it lacks the helical LSD, air conditioning, seats, interior trim, underseal, HID lights, as well as the other creature comforts from its street oriented bredren. That's right. It's ready to be built the way YOU need it built. The best part though is the price. Usually, cars the manufacturer add quite a premium for something like this. But in this case, you get it at a 40% discount: Honda is selling them for 1,690,500Yen - or about US$15,000.

On another note, I've taken the liberties to go through the Japanese websites for the new <a href="http://www.honda.co.jp/CIVICTYPE-R/">Civic Type-R</a> as well as the<a href="http://www.honda.co.jp/CIVICTYPE-R/onemake/"> OneMake Type-R</a> to bring you pics from their galleries, since navigating their Japanese site can be difficult. Warning: 20+ pictures follow...<!--more-->
