Hi, i'm not really new or anything, i just never post. I'm more of the silent type. That and the fact i haven't really done anything worth shouting about to my CTR*

Still i'll put a few snaps up and this my kick my arse into doing something :)

I'm in two minds if i should go for the whole "this is my life to date" sort of story so here i go....


I got my car about a year ago now actually, i liked it because it was red...and sort of phallic ? Anyway, i'd had some loud cars in the past and really i was getting sick of not being able to hear the wife, so here it is....

KAPOW

Image

Image

Image

I like it, i like the whole vtec thing, all my previous cars were french and moody so this reliability thing was like a kick in the crocth for me.

My old man seemed to like it too, he polished it and put my plate and stuff on when i was lazy and hurt my ankle

Image

Image

Initially i was downheartened by the headunit as i'm a sort of OE whore at time, but with the addition of a pink foot, i felt i could handle it. I mean it is mp4 and i could plug my i pod into so i kept it

Image

***gratuitous bottom shot***

Image



Image


Anyway, i mostly cleaned it for a few months. i like cars just to be nice and clean and perfect.

Here it is with a friends ATR

Image

I tried his wheels on but i just wasn't struck, the offset was gash too

Image

Anyway, i started to recently change things just for the heck of it. Like i said i'm virginal to Honda/jap/JDM/etc, all these words are new to me.

Older lights, because the 2004- just remind me of lexus lights

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Did a bit of cleaning up of the calipers at work one rainy saturday

They're something i'd like to change so possibly i'll opt for one of the stop tech kits soon

Image

I'm no PS expert but i like to use it to give me ideas and stuff

ROTA subzero's

Image

Image

More recently i've just been fiddling with little things, like de badging bits

Before

Image

After

Image

Some new rear brakes, i think they're the powerslot ones, i dunno, it's late and i'm tired typing this essay

Image

Image

I like keeping parts in my room, makes me feel like Dom Toretto, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :bad-words:

Image

It's got Tein springs on i forgot to mention that isn't it, booka booka.....god i need coilovers :yum:

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

They needed a bed in for 5 but they look nice now

****pictorial interlude****

Image

Image

Image

A few generic changes that you'd expect really on a jap car, the token sp00n socks

Image

Image

Ah yeah, there's also one of them there AEM doofas on it, sounds.....well it sounds Flipping loud is what is what it sounds!

And i think thats it really, i did polish my knob the other night, that was a fun 2 hour job. I just never took a picture!

Anyway, here i am on Sunday with the "posse" of rallye's, my other love :)

Image

Before i leave this long winded, and quite frankly boring "this is what i've done thread" here are some token old car shots :) love you long time x x x

RallyE:

Image

Image

Image

Saxo

Thanks for wasting a large proportion of your life reading this :) :salut:

I like the de-badgedness, never seen the Type R badge removed though - try another pic of the rear when the camera isnt on flash, and i think that'll look shweet
