How somethings don't change

[GB270Adam]

Thought I'd post a thread on a civic forum to see if I could find where my old type-r was these days and just get met with stupid **** comments, seems as if the same people are still there and have nothing better to do with their lives, sad sad people.

[Sti mayhew]

I'm on that forum as I have a type r. I honestly have never known a forum like it, sarcasm really isn't the word it's actually unbelievable sometimes.

I'm glad someone agrees mate, people like that are just stupid and in the long run others stop posting because of them, what Type-R do you have fella?

[GB270Adam]

Nice mate, always liked the cosmic grey do miss my 2004 red CTR, spent a small fortune on her

[Sti mayhew]

Thanks mate, yeah just found your 'signature' on the ctro's. Bet that was a tad lively? You got a pic of yours aswel then?

[GB270Adam]

One of my last pics of her.

[Sti mayhew]

Looks lovely and clean, love the number plate.

[GB270Adam]

It was a fantastic car, sold it in a rush looking back now, being red it was starting to fade but a proper detail would of sorted it out for a while, also had a small scuff on the drivers front wing and a small dent in the passengers door both courtesy of idiots in car parks, would love to drive it again if it was local, but know I'd want it back if I did lol.

[Sti mayhew]

They are a very addictive car, brilliant all rounders really and great for cornering although some will disagree best n/a front wheel drive car i've ever driven and I have had 1 or 2 cars over the years . If you were to drive it again you would want it back, probably best it isn't local really

[GB270Adam]

Think your right there mate, looks like I've kicked up a stink on that forum now, oh well lol! Touchy bunch on there these days it would seem (present company excluded), have you done much with yours mod wise mate?

[Sti mayhew]

Not power no, the mrs had it for 2 and 1/5 years and done most of the work (well I did she just paid)
Cat back scorpion
K&n typhoon induction kit
Tints all round
I bought a second set of wheels completely scuffed up had them powder coated as a surprise for her.
Replaced a few bits of trim inside and had the gearknob refurbed due to women wearing rings!! Hids, new genuine front and back badges (as I'm anal).
Just keep it nice and clean really I talked her out of buying a cooper s at the time as they are gutless rubbish which break a lot and managed to talk her into this. I loved every minute of driving it when she had it and at the time of her getting rid I was looking at integra dc2's but I think they are pretty dear for there age, so decided I would rather own it, get bored of it myself and decide to sell it rather than selling it and always kicking myself for not buying it as we know the history and it is a clean one.
Superb car and I could be here all day writing about how good I think it is!
What did you actually do to yours??

[GB270Adam]

Right bear with me while I remember lol.

ARC induction box (before ARC went bust)
RBC + Hondata thermal gasket
K100 ecu chip
Powerflex Engine mount inserts
Mugen exhaust manifold
HKS hi-Power cat-back exhaust
Competition Clutch stage 2 + CC light flywheel
Baffled sump
Quaffe LSD
Stop Teach big brake kit
BC racing coilovers
Front camber bolts
D2 rear control arms
Progress 24mm rear anti-roll bar

Mapped at Eurospec at 239bhp

Have probably missed a couple of things lol.

[Sti mayhew]

Wow few squids spent there then! Did the manifold produce any gains or did you do the mods and get it mapped straight away

[SamSTI]

And I thought this was a Subaru forum Only joking lol, two very nice civics there. Imo the best shape civic by far.

[GB270Adam]

It was done in stages mate, had it for 5 years and took me most of that length of time getting it to where it was then sold it

Are you interested in a Skunk 2 weighted gear knob at all by the way? I bought one and never fitted it before I sold the car.

Did the mani help throttle response or not make any real noticeable difference on its own?
Is that the black gear knob? Wish i new a couple of weeks back as i just had mine refurbed How much do you want for it mate?

ha ha any car talk is interesting to me, weather its skoda or ferrari , much better than what the gf is watching on tv anyway

thanks mate your car looked nice to, sorry I didn't introduce myself lol.

I did like the ride height on yours, What springs or coilovers do you have??

Which manifold do you mean mate, inlet or exhaust? As both help the flow of gases, be it air or exhaust gases in turn helping throttle response.

If you want it mate your welcome to it for £40, its brand new and still in its box, their meant too make gears shifts a lot better with extra weight they have.

No worries mate, I didn't introduce myself either lol.

As far as I'm aware its just the PPP suspension mate, although my rear shocks keep sticking, something else on the too do list

[Sti mayhew]

Exhaust I was thinking of but don't want the horrible raspy noise you sometimes get? Ok I'll have a think about it as money's a bit tight at the mo, is it black?

No worries mate, its not going anywhere soon lol, its very dark grey/black with the gear numbers painted in red on the top and Skunk 2 printed on the side.

[Sti mayhew]

Mmmmm dark grey sounds really nice i've only seen black ones. I'll pm you when I get some free cash and hopefully you still have it, cheers mate
