I'm pretty sure they were going for £27k when they first started talking about it. Maybe we should start a poll. The person who guesses the nearest base model type R price (on the road) wins a New type R. £20 a person?? Should only need 1500 people to cover it then, with a few extras on top...

The J's back box you will need to be careful as to what you are matting it to due to the large bore size. Otherwise use lots of exhaust paste. The blue tip will fade and you will have to polish it up so be warned. Mine has polished up fine. The last thing is that you will need aftermarket...

Car looks good. Just need a tie bar to finish off the back.

Depressing to see the prices of these now. When I bought mine five years ago I paid £12500. Looks pretty good though. Lots of paperwork as well.

Looks great that. Where did you get it done?? Any other pictures?

Yeah that's exactly my plan too. I'm just stuck on what coilovers to buy. Was thinking on buddy club. Yours have held up pretty well though.

Cars coming along really nicely. You got plans to run some R888's or something similar?

If you ever sell this please let me know. t's an amazing car and i wuld definately think about taking it off your hands.

Where did you get the rear brace form?? Looks very smart.

The Side bulbs are best accessed by removing the wheel lining. You can take the plastic off in the engine bay which runs along the side but it's still very difficult to get to.

What's the black sticker with the red writing say on your coilover??

I bet you saved more weight than Honda did with the mesh gaitor for the gearbox on the Type R NSX.

Thanks a lot Jack.

As long as you go for the 215's you will be fine. The 205's i had were stretched so didn't have much protection at all. I'll try and get some pictures up for you.

Love this car. Ride height looks fantastic. Planning on doing any other Track days now you have the coilovers??

Looking good. Do you not fancy re-laquering yourself then??

Once again looks like a great day out. Held your own as well.

Yeah they work well. Just waiting until i have worn through these pads to get some better ones then I'll be happy with them. Would love to compare these vs some stoptechs.

They are 17x7.5 wheels. ET45x114 i think. Bought them from rare rims. Phone them up and they will tell you what size you need. Tyres are 215/40/17. Haven't noticed any difference in ride comfort over my old 205/45/17. The new ones were cheaper to buy and give better wheel protection.

I don't tend to use vtec on the motorway and i just cruise at 70mph so that might be why.

Commute to work 8 mile round trip i get 310 miles a week (mostly town driving). Last time i went long distance i got 350 from a tank but that was with an extra 150kg.

How many track days you had out of them so far??

Looks cool. What tryes are you running on the track days??

I agree Chris. My funds have dried up for this year now though so not till next year.

Yeah not much at all. Still fits though :)

Thanks buddy.

Some small updates. Decided on the Grids in the end. And finally got the right J's exhaust.

Looks great Chris. Much prefer those over your gloss black ones.

Looking good.

The last person i read who did this took it off an hour after fitting it.

You can still Vtec it. I had my decat mani with cat back for over a year and it was fine. It's when you put an RBC on you want to get it mapped sharpish.

Maybe if you changed the rear rubber mounts on the exhaust you could raise it up a little better. That would improve it.

I disagree. An EP3 FEELS faster because of the noise it makes and how the power comes in. I've driven a VXR and didn't impress me. EP3 will defo put a bigger smile on your face.

If somebody could that would be amazing.

Yeah it can equate to quite a bit. If you are after power though for about £1000 on any turbo car now a days you will see an extra 60BHP. Civic's are much more lairy though and more importantly more fun. :)

I'm also swaying to the Grids. It's just the Fighters look similar to the CE28's i think????

Apparently they have a new size avaliable. Should say on the site but they are in 8's as well now.

There not to my taste. But thanks lol.

Really could do with some help. I'm after a new set of wheels. Now i think i have narrowed it down to two choices. Rota Grids in Bronze http://www.rarerims.co.uk/wheelshop_products.asp?productid=2&rangeid=1&product=Grid or Rota Fighter Drifts in Bronze...

Looks nice.

Yeah you should all go. It's pretty big at the moment. Plenty of different cars there.

Your bad luck is unrivaled on this forum but what ever happens you stick at it. Top job.

Fair enough. Shame though.

Shame to here that buddy. What prompted the sale???

Looks good. Only colour that looks better than white on black is orange in my opinion. Give us a shout when you want them. lol

I like. Looks much better without all the Mugen 200 parts.

Why not phone CPL. I'm sure they will send you some.

That looks incredible. How long did it take him to draw that??

Looks good. More picture please. Have you fitted it differently then??

The green looks great. Someone down my road has sprayed his lower grell/lip red on his black car and it has grown on me a lot. Maybe you should repray yours green. I know you have just sprayed it but just a thought.

True Dat.

Looks like a standard brace. Mugen do a similar brace for the Ep3 but they are impossible to find.

I'm so glad how the car turned out over the years. Looks Sick.

Wow sorry to see that Harv. Has it started to do the same thing on the rest of the back box?? Strangely it still hasn't put me off buying one though.

Beautiful :(

You got a picture of what is has done Harv?

There some sticky tires. Probably the next step down from toyo 888's.

Thanks.

Where did you order yours from? I saw them on Sumo power. James?

Do you ever put the silencer in then?? I bought one but i think they sent me a DC5 one which was too long so sent it back. I'll order another one after my holidays then. Cheers Harv.

How are you finding the j's exhaust coupled with the spoon b-pipe? As loud as a Spoon would you say?

Just spent the last hour reading through your thread. Was all ready to comment on how gorgeous your DC2 was and then i read this. lol

For £460 no. Lol. To be honest i'm a bit short on cash with my service coming up and tax and holiday. I will get another one just won't be until after august unfortunately.

Also ordered one of these bad boys a while back. Sadly it turned up and as i went to fit it discovered it was too long. You can see on the last picture that there seems to be an extra inch welded on which was probably why it didn't fit. Decided to just get a refund. I will be back for one though.

Graph from CPL.

Got the car mapped at the beginning of the month, 239.9BHP. Pretty happy with that. Got a few other power mods to do but then i will be happy. Will post up graph later tonight.

Oh really. Thats a bit extreme. Had mine fitted and mapped the other day. Kpro has finally got rid of that EML. lol

Cars looking good. You decided on your RRC yet??

Come along way since JAE. Nice to see some of the parts going on now. Seats look lush.

Never mind. At least this will stop others from being disappointed.

So couldn't get the RBC fitted on Wednesday as Tegiwa hadn't supplied me with a Crank breathing hose and a Gasket. You can't use the original hose as it is too short. Spoke to Tegiwa and they said the surface is face milled which apparently means it's flat and doesn't need one. Tom said he...

My god thats a quick car. And this is all without mapping??

Mate i am generaly gutted. Squeezing the pennies as it is. It's not finished though. There will be plenty more mods and swaps. Then i will have to get it mapped again. Eventually i want to get some FD2 cams. I really want to keep it NA.

Very mate. Haven't had time to think about it to be honest though as i've applied for a new job which is taking up a lot of my time.

Yeah so i have read. I might be getting a company car though with the new job so it would be a weekend toy. We will see.

Then got it booked in with CPL to fit Kpro on the 6th of April and a remap. Should be fun.

So ordered a RBC from Tegiwa and a thermal gasket. Booked in to TGM for the 23rd of March to get it fitted along with my engine mount inserts. Thinking of geting both back and front done.

Too much difference in weight or performance??

Coming along nicely

Cool thanks.

Couple of questions for you buddy. You still get Launch control on a K100 right?? And can the Engine Management Light be turned off like with a Kpro??

What sort of power would you expect to make once you get in mapped?

Thanks Joe.

You can. Just look at my early part of my thread Should be page 1.

Where abouts are you from Deco?

I actually use it as an air feed for the filter. Didn't like the idea of cutting a whole in the bumper and sticking a halfords red ring in it. Also your avatar reminds me of a game called the postman. It uses a cat as a silencer. lol

That looks awesome. Best of luck with the time frame you have.

Thanks Suvla. Shame loads of people seem to have them. Thinking of getting some rota grids actually.

Thanks

Got a Tegiwa short shifter for my B day and some ultra light racing nuts as i was fed up with the sratches on the old nuts. I can never seem to do anything by halfs so fitting the wheel nuts took me half a day. Took each wheel off and washed with a sponge. Then left to dry before applying a...

Also after JAE this year i managed to replace my Induction hose as it split. Wasn't too sure how much longer the bathroom sealant would hold out for. Didin't want that sucked into the engine.

As said before, got a j's front and rear brace for christmas. Thanks Dotty for the rear brace. Front brace i think i got of Chase basically brand new. Car definately feels more rigid now. Much stiffer through long corners. Can't wait till the summer.

Of all people i probably should of guessed you might have picked up on that. Yeah i get bored now and again so just swap over for a custome exhaust. More than not it's when i do long journeys as it's much quiter.

Try to put up the rest of the cars updates tonight. I've fallen very behind in recent months.

Time to Update Mate decided to smash my rear light whilst trying to put his exhaust into my car. Wasn't too impressed. So ordered a new one from Honda. £55. The other light cluster you could see mould around the edge. So that came off and cleaned up nicely with a toothbrush...

I was just about to say you need to clean your spoon. lol

This is like my dream. A endless supply of money and mods. And a gorgeous car to do it on. I think the ride height is perfect.

I was very tempted to get in on this group buy. Looks fantastic.

I'm running a decat and mani. No kpro at the mo. Personally i can definately feel the gains. It pulls more aggressively in vtec. Fitted both at the same time though. A cat actually burns fuel when the car is warming up to warm the cat up as quickly as possible. But otherwise yes the car will...

Looks perfect. If you drop a K20 in it now it would be my dream car.
