[Cooper]

I'm still waiting on my bloody boot panel and the front splitter is pebbledashed with stone chips, but on the whole I'm happy enough with how its ended up.

Andy

 

[Bronk]

wat happened 2 ur original boot panel....?

 

[Cooper]

I was getting it resprayed as there was a bad run in it, and lets just say typical bodyshop waiting times. What, 2 months for one panel now.

Andy

 

[Bronk]

hav u tried the wizard? the person who sprayed darrens car...?

 

[Cooper]

If I was able to physically take the panel and get it sprayed by someone else I would have done that by now, but life is rarely that simple. I'm hoping to get it today but I'm not holding my breath.

Andy

 

[Max]

Andy

Yeah i kept the Bridgestones when i've needed to change the tyres.
I need some new tyres, and with all the problems CTR wheels have with salt i've decided to get some 18's for it.

The CTR alloys are painted on the outside, but not inside. So when the salt gets at them they just start to bubble. I've already had a new set of 4 alloys from Honda, so i'm just gonna store them and use them for track days.

Getting these

dont do it!
why not just get them painted on the inside i had all mine repainted at nuluk, top job and great finish inside!
a fraction of the price of 18's
a set of different wheels will make it look like its just a kit on it, and slow it down.

 

[Max]

every type-r looks exactly the same, dare to be different, get the 18's & slammed...

why change what works?

 

[Type-R-Steve]

The Type-R alloys on it are the 2nd set i've had. I got new ones on warrenty as the paint was lifting off where it meets the non-painted bit on all 4 alloys.
I'm changing them cus it was gonna be to much bother taking the 17s off, sticking the car on axle stands, not having the car while the rims get painted, and i need 4 new tyres anyway. So now have a set of track day tyres

My CTR is slammed as it is, as i can barely get up the 2 inch kerb into my drive and with it being so low the 17s look tiny.

I've a Tein Flex Suspension set-up getting fitted this week, so the 18s should be one a few weeks after that

The wheels i'm getting are lightweight.

yeah but his blew up because he had little oil in the engine, apparently the type r 's go through half a litre of oil every 750 miles, well thats what mcgarity honda told me, mine isnt bad at all although i guess it depends on how hard u drive it.
spoon throttle bodies , spoon full exhaust system, aem fuel rail , and how do i know type r steve has these parts??? because type r steve beat me to try and get these parts from chris.

 

[Marc]

****.. nice pieces of kit on that machine then.... just be sure to keep checkin the oil

 

[Bronk]

with all that work done, wat does it bring the bhp up 2?

 

[Cooper]

LOL nice bits indeed, the vtecs respond well to the proper breathing mods for sure. Low engine oil a and RR wasn't the smartest combination!!

Andy

its more like a two stroke the amount of oil u need

 

[Cooper]

Are all the iVtec engines like that or is it just the earlier CTRs that suffered?
