Looks tidy Rick, what's the exhaust system?

 

[Ricki1985]

Cheers mate. The exhaust system is a scorpion cat back. It was on it when I bought the car but I'm probly **** change it to a buddy club pro spec in the future.
clutch and input shaft bearing was completed this week. It's made the car feel great to drive now.
its had a treat to a full valet today, took me 4 hours, worth it ***.
Have you got any mods in mind for yours mate?

Nice, you thinking of getting Kpro or K100 eventually? At first i thought i'd only do a few bits here and there but i've got quite a few plans for the R. Might eventually rotrex supercharge it as its controllable power in comparison to a turbo. More focused on the look at the moment though.

I love the seats they are epic and extremely unusual...are the oem?

 

[Ricki1985]

I think I will get a k100 next year but going for exhaust and itg intake after Xmas. Rotrex super charger sounds ace and better option than turbo. Look forward to more update pics. Have you got an intake or oem air box? I'm not sure weather to do the hondata air box mod?

 

[Ricki1985]

Cheers mate. Yes the seats are oem but you only get these seats in the premier edition.

 

[scrawnban]

They look the business. Lovely motor

 

[Ricki1985]

A few small additions.

Just put my skunk 2 gear knob on and gears feel smoother. Plus I put my type r owners stickers on which set off the rear windows nicely.

 

[Ricki1985]

Quick update. I now have x 4 new Yokohama blue earth tyres installed this weekend. Just ordered ITG MAXOGEN induction kit hopefully get this installed at the weekend and will post some pics when complete:) very excited. Lol

Where you buy your itg from and how much,,

 

[Ricki1985]

I bought it new from camskills.co.uk it was £389.00 +£6.95 postage

 

[Sbooty18]

Looks good. Did the input bearing grind when you let off the power. Mine does the same, was it expensive to sort?

 

[Ricki1985]

When you came down the gearbox especially 2nd and 3rd it made a loud grind noise a bit like a blender noise. I needed the clutch changing anyway so I decided to have this sorted. The work I had done was
1 x new genuine honda clutch kit
1 x input shaft bearing
1 x new larger bearing which was also shot
new fluid ect
All in came to £730.00
sounds a lot but bear in mind it was around 7/8 hours labour. That was at a honda specialist in Lincoln where I live.
If you did decide to get it done it's worth having the clutch changed at the same time.

 

[Ricki1985]

few extra bits added.

Got a few bits fitted today. Tegiwa battery tie bar, tegiwa bolt set and resivoir socks. Last month fitted Itg maxogen. Engine bays looking a bit cleaner now:):)
Also fitted benen tow hook which was great quality for £22.00 new.

Very Nice , Could you upload a pic of the tyres on the Rims, want to see if they sit like mine. Thank you

 

[Ricki1985]

Cheers mate. Yes my tyres sit off the rim slightly. I thought it was unusual when I got them fitted. Great tyres though.

 

[Spike85]

Yea thats same as mine, thats ok then apart from your rims look in mint condition, mine could do with a touch up :)
