Take it your having the 2.3 conversion with turbo or supercharger then?

There won't be any 19s going on this car, standard wheels unless I see some nice lightweight ones I like.

Nice Kris. Test drove a CTR about six months ago and loved it. Couldn't drive a car like that every day cause I'd just thrash it everywhere. Still not as good looking as your GP imho

Thanks, should have a few bits arriving this week

I'm still preferring standard wheels with a refurb in a different colour. Although those are very light!

Thanks, its quite surprising how frugal it is when you keep out of vtec.

I park next to my old GP a few days a week when I go to the gym (a friend owns it) and a part of me will always want it back.

If its between vtec and diesel you know which one I'm going for though.

 

[manthatkidisscrewed]

looking forward to seeing your plans unfold mate...as I said before...awesome!!!

 

[dannygp]

Surely the ST would never beat this. It's jap, bit of money and it will fly?

You wanna fit a GruppeM induction kit on it.

You won't get heatsoak on it and its the best kit you can get for it. (For the price to, it better be) Retails at £250+

For a GruppeM you are looking at more £600+ mark.

Will probably go for a long ram version of the AEM kit, proven gains and doesn't suffer from heatsoak either. Also sounds amazing when it comes on cam.

Cool cars, was tempted by one but it's no french hot hatch

Mind you guess you haven't had your exhaust rust through in 2years

 

[100hpJames]

looks nice mate, they are really good cars, only down side is like you said, you see quite a few about

Well the exhaust has started to blow recently
Not a problem it just means I need to decide on which system to buy, supersprint or spoon...

Cheers, yea theres a few about but you know what i'm like. It won't stay standard for long.

The modding kicked off this week, I'll get an update up at the weekend. Going for a JDM / track style.

all you need now is a vxr and we've had the same last few cars lol! civics are great i had loads of plans for mine before a big commute got in the way!

futisubo legalis r exhaust i think thats what there called are supposed to be the dogs danglies for these, CPLracing are also supposed to be pretty handy and will sort out k-pro but there down south iirc!

you on a civic owners forum yet?

**Update**

First thing is first, I wanted to sort out the little bits on the car I didn't like.
The gearknob was worn as the woman who owned the car before me always wore a ring, so I replaced it exactly the same one, but refurbed in gunmetal. The gaitor looked like it had been made from a spare CV boot some japanese fitter had found on the factory floor on a friday afternoon. So I purchased myself a nice red stitched one to match the steering wheel and leather seats.

The gearknob had seen better days:


:yuck:


Sorry about the quality, will get a better pic soon. Seen here both fitted:


I've also added Genuine Honda JDM red floormats only ever fitted to the jap civics. Very good quality and look superb. Usually go for around £130 second hand! But of course I didn't pay that much for them Pics soon!

I needed some noise in my life so I opted for the AEM long ram induction kit, gives proven gains and I heard one at a recent meet...

Picked it up sunday




So tonight at 7:30 I decided to fit it. 3 hours and 20 fags later and it was done, believe it or not the most time consuming part was to get the arch lining back in again as the wheel and arch lining come out because the filter sits in the bottom corner of the bumper.



I took it for a spin and its alot better low down, and noticeably quicker in VTEC imo. Maybe its just the placebo affect, but RR results on standard ep3s have shown anything between 3 - 10 bhp (apparently)
But the show stopper is the noise, it sounds great and when it hits VTEC it sounds incredible, absolutely evil. A great piece of kit!

Thats it for now, but suspension is on its way and so are a few more JDM bits...

I'm on ctrowners club and it gives good advice and support. Apparently those zorsts are good but the way the prices of jap import stuff has gone up is unbelievable. Might have to go supersprint. btw, i'm not buying a vauxhall
