my type r premier edition

Messages
94
Hi there ,just wanted to get a thread up about my car ,this is my second type r to date and i wanted a good one ,this was long road to find but i found this one owner from new ,it was untouched and a full dealer history so i got it miles was 115 k but condition sold it .

i said that i was not going to anything to it but that lasted two minutes ,i done all the normal things for service work and stuff ,but i always intended to use this for the track and days out ,so i fitted a set of springs and new shocks just to tighten tit up ,pagid discs and pbs pads .

Then i had the front end painted to get rid of chips ,then i purchased a tegiwa induction (you can see where this is going ) now i got a 4 2 1 manifold and resinated exhaust ,skunk inlet and going to get it remapped ,adjustable rear camber arms and front camber bolts ,i have kept everything to turn it back to standard as and when i sell the car ,as we all know it costs a lot with jap tax on there to uprate .

i will try and get some pictures uploaded but its saying they are to big ,i dont do well with computers .
 
You could put them on imgur, or flickr (then get a bbcode link from the share button). There's bound to be a few other places too.
 
Couple of pictures ,with some luck

its getting there ,its uber clean thats all i want ,but ive started to mod it now after i said i wouldnt but it all can be taken off when i sell .
 
That's a very nice example for a clean, lightly modded EP3 mate, keep up the good work! These mods would roughly be what I'd get, if I had mine only for trackdays and weekends. Also, I'm quite envious, that premier editions only came as right hand drives. :(
 
well the car passed mot again yesterday with no problems ,ive just been collecting parts ,421 manifold ,skunk inlet ,3 inch exhaust ,adjuatable rear camber arms ,energy inserts all been fitted wednesday .
 
all parts are here now to be fitted ,421 manifold ,resinated mid section ,rear camber arms ,front camber bolts ,skunk inlet ,energy inserts ,poly mount for the gearbox and short shifter .

only thing to do then is ecu and map ,think im done then

Famous last words, your never done with a type r :)
 
ill get fresh pictures up in the week ,purchased a new exhaust tegiwa one as the other was to loud for the track lol .

Had the all the geo set up so it drives a lot better ,i wanted some new brakes and i have always been a ap fan ,so i purchased new 4 pots and 330 mm discs to go on ,also booked into j cal for kpro and re map ,hopefully thats the last of the spends just enjoy it .
 
Heh, it won't be the end. You've gone in fast and spent a lot. So the future holds forced induction, coilovers (hopefully decent ones), some form of limited slip diff, a gearbox rebuild with new final drive, etc.
 
evrything costs a fortune and i cant wait ,lsd maybe just want to enjoy it now and do lots of trackdays ,but im not going down the route of bucket seats etc etc been there and done that .
 
Managed to get a couple of pictures resized, tyres to go on new brakes going on then remap .
My aim with this is standard looking but can handle a few track days ,the car itself is really clean .
