Hopefully she'll handle alot better now I have some track tyres. Will be removing the tint at the front as its not ideal for track days and I think I've grown out of it now. Will do bud, thanks for positive comments. Totally standard and stayed that way till I joined the forums lol. Tweeters...

Cheers bud. Tyres rub slightly so I will have to higher car about 5mm all round. Arches have been rolled at the back. Cheers Bud. I've had the old girl 10yrs come may next year. So she made it into a mag, which edition? I do coombe 3x a year. Cheers, she is low but needs to be higher to stop...

Cost £200 all in. So much better than being wrapped in my opinion:D Haven't received harness bar yet bud but will get pics up once fitted for you:smt023 Couple more pics from the Forge action day at Coombe in september.

Some more pics. Carbon dipped parts With the track tyres on, rubs slightly so will need to higher it a tad. Rear wing Engine bay as it stands. Function7 lca's with Progress roll bar.

Haven't updated this for a long time and the car has progressed alot since. Here's a list of what I've done since. 1. Ported RBC with 70mm tb 2. DC header 3. M factory lsd with stage 1 organic ACT clutch. 4. Mapped by Romain at Eurospec to 248bhp with 180ftlb using Kpro. 5. Red Cobra Suzuka GT...

These things happen bud but the cars looking good so keep it up:smt023

If you come to swindon you could do mine aswell Joe? Would obviously pay petrol costs;)

Nice pics and as already said car looks in great condition:smt023

Looking good Wiggy,looks like Joe did a good job. Shame about the bonnet:(.

Great how to Joe, that bumper looks a damn sight lot better than your old one:lol:

Got it from www.funkypower.co.uk. £206 inc postage if I remember right.

Its 24mm bud, cant say how it feels as I haven't driven her yet. Taking her on track at japfest so will report back after.

Cheers Joe, just noticed your old front bumper:eek: And there was me worried that mine wouldn't be upto your standards:lol:.

Progress bar arrived at long last and was fitted today just in time before the heavens opened:D. JDM along with tie bar off Progress on:twisted: Also took some comparison photo's between all 3 bars(oem,jdm and progress). Quite a difference as you can see. I will eventually...

Not sure where to get it mapped tbh. Performance Autoworks said they can map it and Rich seems to know what he's talking about so might just let them do it when they fit everything. I dont have parts as yet but it wont be long:lol:. Main priorities at mo are the Progress bar which will be here...

Very nice.

Looks alot better in white. I will have the same mods as you when I get it all fitted apart from the exhaust(RM01A). With regards to header,rbc and map are you glad you did it and is it worth all the money spent?

Lovely clean example and great pics. Mines 9yrs old and went straight through MOT couple of weeks ago.

Couple of pics now I have the Stoptechs and MiesterR coilovers fitted. Also fitted a new front bumper and headlights. 24mm progress arb is on back order:( so not sure when that will arrive. Mfactory lsd will hopefully be here for next week and then I can order new clutch and get it booked in...

Glad you like. The coilovers have totally changed the way the car feels and handles but in a good way imo. I've never had a set of coilies before so it was weird to start with but I did a recent track day and loved the way the car handled. I am also finally happy with her stance now.

Fair play to you. Great looking car with some nice mods. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the positive comments. Will get some more pics up as the stoptechs and MiesterR coilies have been fitted:D. Chuffed to bits with them both although the coilovers took a bit of getting used to as I've never had a set before. After reading Newannive's impressive thread I also ordered...

As long as your happy thats all that counts. Nice to see something different. Keep up the good work:smt023

Had mine done at circuit motors. Very nice chap and money well spent.

These arrived the other day:D Brakes should hopefully be fitted on saturday and the rest sometime next week.

Anyone going on Sat 9th April?

Nice, I looked at buying one of these to use as our main car but wasn't quite big enough for our liking. Great cars though all the same.

As promised some more pics and spec. Had the car nearly 8yrs now and it still puts a smile on my face,love it. Anyhow heres the spec: Interior: Skunk2 gear knob Tegiwa short shifter Spoon rear strut brace Type R tax disc holder Carbon wrapped centre console,speedo gauge and handle inserts...

Not generally a fan of milanos but fair play to you, yours looks great. Keep up the good work:smt023

Just a quick couple of photos with the new wheels. Chuffed to bits with them:D. Will get more pictures up of rest of car when I can. Just waiting to get new Touring Stoptech kit and MiesterR coilovers fitted.

I've just received mine and just waiting for the buddy club roll center adjuster kit to arrive before booking it in. Out of interest Shaenei how much have you lowered yours by? I was going to try a 40mm drop but wouldn't go any lower than that.

Looking good John. Liking the gauge surround:cool:

Welcome. I'm from Swindon too:smt023

I have the RM01A and love it, has a subtle look and sound and you only really hear it when starting up and in vtec. Most people who have had or have one rate them very highly.

Cheers for all the replies guys. I'm going to leave it for now as I decided to get a dc header aswell so will get it all fitted and mapped by xmas. Best have a chat with the missus and make sure she hasn't got me anything yet:lol:

Hi all, after some advice and was hoping you guys and possibly gals could help? I have bought the modded RBC from TEGIWA and also all the necessary gaskets and pipes. From what I can see on some pictures of it fitted it looks as though the SFS hose has to be trimmed so that the gruppe m doesn't...

Blimey:eek: Bought mine from Xposed about a year ago for 530 and I thought that was expensive. 2nd what Suits says though,great piece of kit. Enjoy:twisted:

Very good all rounder to be honest. Very pleased with them.

My camshaft position sensor fault has come on:( but went out the same night. Had it checked out anyway and was told to keep an eye on it and book it back in for a strip down if it came on again. Asked Honda what worst case scenario would be and they said that I had possibly stretched timing...

Have just bought an RBC and just wondered if a honda dealer would sell the hondata gasket and if not where's the best place to get one? I have googled it and JAPSHOP do it for 60,is this a good price? Also what tubing do I need and where from again?

No worries buddy. The RM01A is great,quieter than I expected but looks good and sounds nice with vtec. Did you see the hassle I had with it in the exhaust section?

Hi Rysz, Wasn't sure if you would be interested or not but thought I'd give you first refusal anyway. Basically I got the RM01A and now have a surplus supersprint b pipe. Has only done about 2500miles and is about 6 months old. Wanted 120 for it. Let me know bud. Cheers Mike

Have just got back from picking car up and chuffed to bits with it. The exhaust sits perfect and sounds lovely without being OTT. Performance Autoworks have done a great job at a great price. I'm that impressed with them I'm considering getting them to do FRSU. I intend on doing a thread in...

I have the RM01A(now without bent bracket) with my ABP Eibach springs and hasn't scraped yet especially on my driveway which has a nasty little lip on it.

I dropped it off at Performance Autoworks yesterday and they seemed pretty confident they could do something with it:D They have just rang me up to say its done so very relieved and feeling a little bit happier. Wont be 100% happy till I see how it sits and try it out obviously. Just got to...

I'll be popping down to performance autoworks today to see if they can do anything with it. Have already asked James@Touge but they dont sell brackets seperately. With regards to confirming that its bent, you've seen the pictures and posts?? Sorry Hasnic:oops: my bad.

:smt023Thanks Hatton,I'll pop down and see them tomorrow as its only down the road.

Only problem being that I would need another RM01A to measure it up against surely? It wouldn't sit right otherwise. Also I'm no good with a blow torch and dont know many people or garages around here that would be willing to help me out. Thanks Suits for the picture, cant even see your fixing...

Bought of Sleazoid and he was selling this and GM etc for EP3, just double checked in sales section.

Thanks Dotty,knew it didn't look right.Gutted. Spent 450 notes on this and its in great condition apart from this:(. Any suggestions as to what I do next? I bought of a member on here and also ctro.

Bought this 2nd hand and received today. I spent alot of money on it but something just doesn't look right with the bracket:(. It looks bent......really badly and doesn't compare too well to pictures I've seen on line:confused:. I dont want to embarrass myself by taking it somewhere for them to...

Thanks much appreciated.

Could you please change my username to Batfink76?

Bought a set of VREDESTEIN ULTRAC SESSANTA 215/40/17s about a month ago and really liking them. I did a little research on them and have read nothing but good reports on them. Got them from CAMSKILL at 79 quid each with a saving of 28.90 per tyre as they are reduced at mo.

Looks nice. Like the wheel colour. Have they been refurbed?

Great progress Ads and of course in the best colour. Like you though I also made the error of getting facelift tail lights and will be purchasing some red ones very soon. Cant remember if its a straight swap though tbh? I think the wiring is slightly different, correct me if I'm wrong please:D

Very nice. Love the wheels,what are they and how much?

Are you interested in taking your own car on a track? If so why not pop down to castle coombe race track on september 5th. Take your car on for about £30. Its a good day out even if you dont go on track. I'll be going as usual.:D

Never lucky me,get hit by customs on anything I buy abroad.:(

Just received my gruppe m today after purchasing from Jay at XpO2ed. Great guy and very helpful. I paid £556 and then another £30 to customs to release it. I was like a little kid at christmas this morning:D

Yeah I know what you mean but I haven't come close yet. I just love the car so much on the track as you get to see what it really handles and goes like. Also its not just a case of taking a banger on the track and ramping the nuts of it,I,ve been on the track with brand new 911 turbo's, mercs...

Just wondered if anyone will be coming down for this track day? It's the first time they have held a 2nd action day as it normally only happens in april. I've been down a couple of times and it's well worth the money. It's open to all cars and costs £30 for 15mins on the track with about 20...

Does anyone know where the best place is to get a set of these (18") and how much I can expect to pay.:)

Can anyone tell me if a facelift ep3 steering rack will fit a pre-facelift ep3? The part numbers are exactly the same apart from the last digit and honda couldn't confirm that it wouldn't although they did say it was unlikely it would fit because of the different part number. :confused:

Any chance of any pics to show where exactly to make the holes in the steering rack for the wd40? I'm not to confident with DIY and dont fancy making holes where there not needed. Also how much are the top suspension mounts? Have been told honda will charge £400 all in but seems a bit...

Thanks. Its something else I can try if I dont have any luck with steering rack. How much did they cost?

Have just joined the forum and wish I had done alot sooner. I've had my type r for over six years now and have learned to live with this problem for at least 4. I've put it into to 2 dealerships and 1 honda approved garage costing me a total of £150 for all of them to say they cant find anything...

Have just done this to mine at a cost of £230 inc bulbs. I think they look much better than pre-facelift. Dealerships charge silly money,I got mine done by a firm called AUTOELECTRIX based in swindon. :D

I had these on mine. They looked good but weren't a very good fit and they will not go through the mot as they only do them for LHD.;)
