i bought this car a couple of months ago, it already had been modded but was lowish milage and tidy.
when i bought it the wheels had already been powder coated.
it had hell braided brake lines,5.1 fluid
full pro flow stainless exhaust
skunk 2 gear knob
fast road setup(adjustable rear arms,front camber bolts)






i then decided to mod my airbox





i bought myself some brembo calipers





only to find they wouldnt fit behind standard wheels
so i bought these and had them shot blasted






i then primed and painted them








bought some new evo wheel nuts and fitted them




some fresh pics of it






i was at santa pod this sunday helping on my mates trade stand and found some stickers i just had to buy
they were only a quid each




and ive bought my new discs today so trialed it up and made templates for my caliper brackets

 

Very nice bud, how does she compare to the ST and the series 2's?
Lovin the Bwwwaahh sticker

 

its awsome,its quick whenever you want it to be,and tame the rest of the time
the fiesta st was too underpowered compared to this.
if you ever get chance of going out in one you will love it

 

Best shape for these imo ,hate the newer ones

 

looks good steve!

 

Very nice!

 

ive been waiting for my new centre caps to arrive from hong kong
well the have finally got here

here are the centre caps



centre cap cover



and fitted to the enkei's

 

Nice, really like these cars. What are your long term plans for it??


Cheers,
Grant

 

Same wheeels as i am after for mine, I have had one for a month or so now and its had some money spent on it, its great for an everyday car with some go when i want it. The only trouble it compared to my old DC2 ITR its half the car imo.

 

very nice just needs lowering a tad

 

Love the bwaaaaah sticker

But I don't get the obsession with the "JDM" phrase. It does stand for Japanese Domestic Market right?

 

would look better with the new type r wheels ...jus my opinion tho

 

but then my brembos wouldnt fit
lowering will be done soon
the obsession with jdm is because the japanese spec cars tend to have a better spec than uk cars
eg anti roll bars,carpet,etc

 

not even with these being 18s ?

It's the width/ofset/depth of the spokes on standard Honda wheels that's the problem not the diameter

 

ahh got ya ....heres a pic of 1 i had on me fone.....

 

been busy today making my brake brackets

 

brakes now fitted

 

looking good so far pal

 

cheers,when funds allow i plan on lowering it next

 

havnt been on here for a while so thought id best update this

Bought a piper exhaust for it.







Proper happy, it sounds nice and pulls really well.
And the tail pipes are more subtle than most, which is what I like
Bought a japspeed manifold second hand but cheap





Bought some lowering springs for it






but wasnt very happy with the ride height or handling so i bought some hsd coilovers
they are 16 point damping adjustable and fully height adjustable with pillow ball top mounts











and had them fitted
















and had it fully set up( tracking,caster,camber,damping,spring height )
propper happy with them so far
and some pics of it clean and outside

 

Agreed! Better drivers car too! Can't believe Honda went backwards and didn't use independent rear suspension on the newer ones

 

Bet it handles well now with the caster and camber,makes such a difference

 

Looking really well now, defoo needed lowering onto those rims. Looks like a proper weapon.

 

That looks great! Love it on the Evo wheels, and how nice is to see a CTR that doesn't have black wheels!! Top marks!

 

and it doesnt have the usual jap dustbin exhaust
subtle is how i like it

 

Very nice! Here's some pics of mines. it has basic breathing mods and a remap on a Q+ making 236.9bhp .Dc sports manifold & cat back, tewiga induction (gruppe m rep), coilovers, brakes, Spoon Plated LSD, DC5 box, Paddle clutch,wheels etc etc. I've spent a fortune on it! I love it, best hot hatch I've owned by far! I bought it standard with just over 20k miles 3 years ago. It's now on 58k and not had any major problems with it. It gets driven hard.

 

I like these, eyeing my bro in laws up as he's selling up soon, in black. It needs a proper clean as he doesn't wash it at all, but he does drive like miss daisy....

 

As long as they are warmed up, kept serviced and get topped up with oil (they do use a bit) they don't seem to go wrong.

 

Mine never uses any oil, and I check it all the time.
And I kick its head in regular, but people used to say cossies burn oil but my old one never used to either. Guess I'm just lucky

 

Amazing the difference when the cars lowered. I was going to say I didnt like the wheels at all, but since its been lowered, they look well. I had an Accord Type-R for a while, loved the way it revd, but just encouraged you to drive like twat everywhere

 

Huge difference now it's lowered over the wheels, bet it's fantastic down a twisty backroad/track now.

looks great in these pics mate

 

You must be lucky then lol. All 3 of mines have burned a wee bit. I don't mean putting in a litre a week but I do have to top it up every now and again. All of mines have never burned gradually, you can check it for weeks and weeks and it's at the max then check one day and it's burned half a litre. A lot of Hondas seem to be like this, my mates track B16 is the same and his road Jordan does it. Wierd.

Yours is looking look, they do suit the enkeis

 

ive had a few of these. great cars. run them on silkolene pro-s 5w40 and they wont burn any oil. all 3 of mine did 15k between services and got hammered and didnt use a drop.

couple of my old ones

 

p.s it looks good on the evo wheels!

 

....why are boys sticking shitloads of pictures of their cars up on the OPs thread about his CTR?!


Cheers,
Grant

 

I've always ran mines on 0W30. Might use a little extra oil but i think it'll protect them better.

Did you notice a big difference witht the fast road setup?

 

The fast road set up was done when I bought it. So never driven one without. I just reset it after lowering. I'm always dubious about using mega thin oil, don't like the sound of a car using it. Sounds like there's something wrong with it.
Anyway hopefully get my manifold on today

 

Manifold fitted today
