Type R No.3 - My Milano Red FN2 GT **MILTEK ZORST**

That dash looks really good! I would be very pleased with that. Now just don't get to carried away and do the whole car lol.

It is quite addictive to be honest, I want to wrap some more stuff now :lol:

I wouldn't mind the wing mirrors done to go with the pillars, but that could be a problem of doing.

I was thinking of doing the slam panel underneath the bonnet but not sure about the heat with it being under the bonnet.

I also wondered what the black part of the GP kit would look like in carbon too

What about the painted bit on the front grill that might look smart

Hey Rick,

Didn't realise you were on here as well. I have still not fitted those LED lights yet :lol:

I did look at doing it while the lower dash section was off but it started raining so I left it.

Yeah the bit that is normally chrome on the Mugen? thats what I was looking at getting later but you got me thinking.

 

[RickHondaR]

Yes that's the bit i am on about, imo if you but the m200 grill for the chrome you also need the door handles and fuel cap to match which now makes it expensive

 

[m1ke]

I wouldn't worry about heat carl, people wrap their plug covers all the time.

Well next on the agenda was the Ultra Racing braces I got a few months ago, just need to pick up a couple as well. Unfortunately I seem to have a faulty Front Upper brace as it is not fitting


As you can see one side can be bolted down

But on the other side, no chance

And then it sits too far down to what I have seen on photos

I think the one bracket has been attached at the wrong angle and is throwing it out.


The C Pillar brace was a bit of a pain in the arse to fit, trying to get the seat belts back on as well, but got there in the end. The rear upper strut brace seems to be the easiest to do and that was not straight forward.

Also had a go at a bit more carbon wrapping, seems okay at the moment but will see how it lasts.

Now I need to get it cleaned, few other bits to do once that is done and hopefully fit a replacement strut brace and room bar :-D


Then JAPFEST!!!

I think that's the benefit of the Js braces as the ends are removable

The carbon wraps look really good Im developing an unhealthy obsession with the stuff. Rowbo had his slam panel wrapped, its hasnt lasted well and is starting to bubble, the heat from the radiator messes it up. Shame about the brace the rest of them look excellent, have you noticed any difference now they're fitted? Im on the brink of buying a set of tien springs, how are you finding them?, i'm really interested to know what you think, now they've been on for a while.

Mate you car looks mint. I order the number plate surrounds this week when I seen yours! Tempted to get some pressed metal plates now! Really can't wait to get my CTR next week (Wed). I'm often around Wolves so I'll keep a look out for you!

I haven't really drove the car properly really to see any difference, seemed to grip really well today though around my favourite island and could of pushed it more. I have to say for budget tyres they are pretty decent in the dry, the wet however is another story :lol:

Got the room bar as well today, that goes in the middle. There seems to be a theme going on though as they are not all straight forward to fit. This is proving to be a pita and I need to get up early tomorrow to sort it out before I can drive to Japfest :S

Teins so far have been excellent, but I knew they would as I had them on the EP3 but they sort out the harsh ride with the standard ones, especially on speed bumps.

Yeah I am usually around, not as much now the season has finished though, but will be back.

What colour is yours?


Well a mod that needed to be done, new Bosch S4 battery installed along with the R tie bar and Tegiwa fitting kit to finish it off.

Have a couple of other bits to add but I am having an early night due to having to get up at 4am in the morning :O

Here is a pic of the car how it stands now

 

[2die4]

Mine is a black CTR, already have the yellow fog light protectors here waiting to go on the car when I get it.

 

[Sukhi1313]

Ride is looking sweet. Good progress. Keep the updates coming.

 

[N77]

Well got the last few little mods on for Japfest and gave it a quick clean, so was rude not to take a couple of pics, only with the iPhone unfortunately though, and the mods as it stands

'R' Battery Tie Bar & Tegiwa fitting kit

My website graphics

Ultra Racing Rear Upper Strut and C Pillar

Ultra Racing Room Bar

Sumo Power Gloss Black Vinyl Strip

Dark Smoke Fog Light protectors

Carbon Wrapped parts

Tein springs & FRSU

Modified Richbrook Tax Disc

Display plates

I am happy with how the car looks and handles at the moment, have the Ultra Racing Anti Roll Bar to be fitted, and also the Front Upper Strut once the replacement has been sent, but over the summer I am just going to get out and enjoy it now


I just want the bonnet sorting as it has suffered stone chips and needs sorting, a couple of other marks I want to try and get done as well, other than that maybe some spare wheels then wait till next year and change of insurance company before exhaust, induction kit and possible Flashpro

 

[trickyteg]

Car looks awesome mate need to start modding mine lol

 

[mfnick]

One of the best looking FN2's ive seen. Awesome work fella!

 

[D4N H]

I am a bit jealous of this your car

 

[Freddy7014]

N77, awesome car dude, really nice!!

Can I ask, where did you get your reversing camera and cable from?? I've been looking everywhere for them but everytime I've been told that it's only suitable for the JDM model!

I got the cable and camera off some of the guys that sell them on Civinfo

You have to have the built in sat nav to be able to connect it up though

Thank you very much for a great thread, as everyone has already said really nice work but you also answered a couple of queries that I had in relation to the Sway Bars. Being a newbie on this forum and especially only having the car a couple of weeks I had no idea of where or what to buy until I came upon this so I found it very informative especially as you'd also included the photographs. Just another reason why I came off another forum and joined this one where people love to help each other rather than no response at all, very similar to the previous one I was on for three years when I had the Volvo C30 (small hatch opening).
