The lesser Civic models had a smaller spoiler and the brake light fitted behind the window. Should be straight forward just to get one of those.

Looks incredibly similar to mine! I want the same exhaust, is it an M2?

Cleaned and polished mine as it behaved on track earlier this week! :D

Think it is the brace/bar thing that goes from one side to the other. Think it is removable, sure I've seen bolts on either end. How easy though is another matter.

Doesn't the FN2 have an issue with the front subframe and dirt in somewhere it shouldn't? Mentioned in the list of issues here: https://type-r-owners.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?84577-Buying-guide-check-list-for-the-FN2-Civic-Type-R

They do look better but I find my standard seats more comfortable; IMO of course!

Another for Climair. No clips or tape, but they stay firm. Can get light and dark tint

Is there a knack to doing the clips on the back? Always struggle getting them back on and I am never quite sure they are seated right.

http://www.m2motorsport.co.uk/acatalog/M2-FRING-57---EP3-FIRE-RING-57MM-576.html#SID=10 May be available elsewhere cheaper, but that is what you want. Not sure if you need anything at the cat end.

I was a bit disappointed when I opened mine to do the mod and install a K&N filter, to find the mod had already been done! Haven't really noticed a noise increase with the filter, but it does make a nice subtle noise when hitting VTEC but no massive "kick". Can't compare to a standard box though...

Definitely belt, it is recommended to change the water pump at the same time. Oddly the engine is the complete reverse of the EP3, everything is on the opposite side. Watch for gearbox noises, input shaft and or release bearing likes to fail and cause whining noises.

£44 from Tegiwa, or £26 each from Lings, may be cheaper somewhere else? :shock:

Get the Tegiwa for some noise, then have a think about the longer plan and what you want from the car to save doing similar things twice (In my opinion, of course). :)

Have you seen any of these, Jimbo? Wondering if they will be any louder than OEM

The M2 backbox isn't what I would call quiet either, mind none are really apart from the more expensive JDM systems (Mugen, Fujitsubo, Toda, etc). Depends what you cam tollerate.
