Original first post:

Hi, new to this forum, have owned my facelift type R (54 plate) for about 6 weeks, am planning on a few subtle mods.
Already a thing of beauty, the car itself cosmeticaly doesnt need much,
i have put a personal plate on it and hooked up red L.e.d footwell lighting (gay i know!, but looks good for something outta nothing!)
currently in the process of sourcing a Gruppe M kit for it! f*ck me there pricey at the mo! :mad: .
Heard they are the dogs!!!!
Also sourcing a pair of premier edition recaros that i fancy putting in there! and maybe some genuine red jdm mats!

im also after some advice for an exhaust system, i dont want one that drones and overpowers the noise of everything else, any advice would be greatly appreciated:D

Also, Any idea of where to get uprated induction hose to replace original when the gruppeM arrives?? (samco etc)

Obviously you are keen on improving the interior, so how about some genuine Honda Integra pedals/footrest?

Part numbers are as follows:

Footrest - 46692-S6M-R00

Brake and Clutch pedal covers - 46545-S6M-J01

Accelerator pedal assembly - 17800-S6M-J02

Sparco pedals from halfrauds £28

If in case like me you wont pay £100+ for JDM

Nick : See you have Engine start button tucked away there, how much agro was it to fit that, again, genuine honda part?
 
I got the whole kit including the carbon fibre surround from Al here on the forum, for £50.

You can buy the kits minus the CF surround on eBay. Genuine S2000 starter button with unbranded relay and wiring.

Was real easy to fit once I understood which wires go where, and I used a soldering iron instead of cutting wires. TBH I can't remember the last time I used the button though.

How much did you pay for these Nick?
Cheers
 
£130 delivered I think, about a year ago, when the £ was worth alot more over the $ than it is now (bought from the States)

James can get these from Japan. He will reply momentarily
 
Please send me a PM or use my traders forum (at the bottom of the forum page) if you require any parts, or quotes.

Thanks

I have bought these since I passed my test. It's just my car smell. They're cheap in Asda too.
