Hey all,

Just wanted to introduce myself, since I have now stopped lurking the forum (which I have done a bit during the last few months) and have started posting.

My name is Søren, I am 30 years old and I live in Denmark.

I have a Milano Red Type-R Plus (Plus is roughly equal to your GT).

However, since cars are very expensive here in Denmark (probably the most expensive country to buy a car), I couldn't afford it untill Honda decided to make it in a "van" model, which gives one great savings on the taxes when buying a car here in Denmark. Totally stupid, but true.

So I have a Type-R Van, meaning it has no back seats at all, just a very big boot instead. They rip out the back seats when they get the car from the factory (I got them stored in the addict) and fit the car with a metal bottom plate instead, and some bars with plexiglass in them behind the front seats.

I know it's pretty damn stupid to call a Type-R a van, but it was the only way I could afford it. :rolleyes:

Anyway, discovering this forum has already proved to be quite expensive, since it has me looking at all sorts of cool mods made by people on here, some of which I have already bought.

And just to clarify why I might make some dumb questions, I am not car savvy AT ALL. So bear with me. I know my way around computers though... :cool:

So enough rambling from me... thanks for a great forum!

Dude, was it difficult to remove the rear seats and rails???

can you post some pics here for us to see?

I am interested!


there´s a company here in Denmark that gets the cars, then rebuild them as a van by removing the rearseats and make som other changes..

some dealers give the customers the rear seats in case they want to build it back to normal( actually its illegal ), but you have to pay the taxes as for the normal type r, and that is quite expensive..

the Type R van cost around 229000.- dkr I think, and the normal Type R+(GT) cost 390000.-dkr for a MY08 thats approx. 21xxx£/36xxx£

Sure, will get some pictures taken and put up. Not quite the weather for it now, but will at a later date when its a bit less nippy outside (-10 degrees today!).

By the way, wasn't myself that removed the seats and such, Honda did that since they sold it as a van. But will be sure to take some pics for you guys.

When it comes to mods, I hadn't really done any untill I got on here. After joining this forum I have bought quite a few though, in terms of stickers and lights and such, and have plenty of plans. Will be sure to document the more special ones on here once I get them done and fitted.
