My EP3 Civic Type R

my interior pretty similar to nicks (minus the dc5 pedals and AE recaros not premier ones) jdm mats are a must, starter button is :cool: (pricey i payed same as nick £50 inc carbon surround) but i still use mine even after 6 months, kinda habit now :lol:. next on my shopping list interior wise is the dc5 pedals though for sure, they look sweet!
 
First BIG spend was on a Gruppe M Induction kit, brand new, sourced from member xp02ed, top bloke! done me a great price, and got it to me from japan within 5 working days. I had a read up on the guides already posted on modding the existing scuttle panel, bought the equipment needed and done the mod myself. Took a bit of fiddling over a couple of days to stop all rattles etc, but i was well impressed with the kit :twisted:
Comes highly recommended to anyone considering getting one!!

Kinda used to it now though, just the 'normal' sound of the car :rolleyes:

A few days later, the sfs hose :cool:

Then, i came across a used blitz nur spec system from another forum member, but once fitted, was no louder than stock and had some slight rattle noise at specific points in the rpm range :confused:

Was slightly dissapointed until i got my brother, top man, to make a jig for it and cut the silencer-box out of the centre pipe and replace it with a piece of straight through stainless. Another friend done a superb job on the welds! :D (havent got a photo of this)

Total transformation, no rattles and a lovely rumble to the car! :twisted:

Since putting this on, i have left it on the car purely because it was exactly what i was after - a system not too loud, droney or expensive.
But as you know, there is always room for improvement......... :smt047

When i got a sunny day, i rubbed down, cleaned and painted the calipers. Red of course! Gave them all two coats of high temp paint specially sourced from halfrauds :lol:

Well worth 3 hours of my time and a tenner for paint and materials.

gruppe M :twisted:. The painted calipers look really good as usual. It's a good little cheap mod to improve the look.
 
For my next big spender was the interior from a premier, those all so lovely Recaros and the red carpet. Got these from a breakers up north, the chap was as good as gold, even had them delivered to my door in person.

Excellent work. :D

Yes dotty, these are the only things i would consider to the exterior! :twisted:
CF Looks ace on the satin!
What makes were these parts? and roughly how much? i do like the vented bonnets!
Seen a few different cf bonnets between £300 - £450, plus a while back, watched a used siebon cf rear wing on ebay go for over £300! wish id bought! :rolleyes:
 
Satin + Carbon looks awesome.

You've done some excellent work here mate.

:)

Just really keen at the moment mate! always been a guy that believes in doing things properly and using the best money can buy, kinda learnt that from raing MX, you just cant do it half heartedly!

I dont wanna get sucked in too much (although i feel i already am!:twisted:) with modding. engine wise, i dont wanna do alot as i want a newish sti impreza next year! - being partly to blame, but you never know! :smt047

I little like mods such as engine bling - CF mani and plug covers, Earthing kits (fitted the other day, pics to follow!) j's racing strut braces and etd's, mugen/spoon oil and rad caps, all common mods but effective imo :cool:

All the above are on my to do list, aswell as jdm mats, all round window tints and the alpine (ipod only) head unit.

I think the furthest i would take it is a top of the range zorst system, race header too and k100, although i havent properly looked into it yet. am down south so would need to find a reputable tuner to do some work for me. Am very fussy about monkeys touching my cars! lessons learnt from past experiances :evil:

Have also noticed on other posts that the recommendation for a FRSU is high! would have to find out what this involves and hom much!?

However, currently loving the honda ownership! just like all my previous bikes, HONDA - FTW!
 
Looks awesome dude! 8)

Just sourced a full Premier interior for £700 in Brum, so I'll be off to get that tomorrow :twisted:

A busy weekend ahead:)
