Hello, I've had my CTR for nearly a year now and am still loving it.
Here's a couple of pics as I've spent hours cleaning it the last couple of weekends.
Also I have it booked in TDI North on Friday this week. I can't wait!
Not as modified as a lot out there but i'm happy. Spec List so far:
Power bits:
K100
Gruppe M
Spoon B-Pipe
RBC
Tegiwa manifold
Also:
Mr Max's civictype-r stickers
LeeH's Earthing kit
Rear 3 windows tinted
Energy engine mount inserts
m1ke's window rattle stop kit!
Ferrodo pads all round
8k HIDs
Brenscivic sorted my gearnob and SimonB sorted the scuttle.
Big thanks to everyone who has given me advice/sold me some stuff over the last few months

Thanks for the comments guys, and the help with pics! Although they're a bit big! I'll put some pics up when it's been on the dyno later this week. Cheers :WOOT

Yesterday's trip to tdi north was a success! Car made 168lb and 224bhp. Drives very smooth and nice now. Can't recommend k100 enough. Will post pics and graph later on. :thumbup:

Nice looking car you have there! I'm thinking of getting a spoon b-pipe is it noticeably deeper than standard my only mod at the moment is a Tegiwa intake. Also when you got the K100 did it lower the vtec point?
Keep up the work :thumbup:

Thanks very much! Wish it was as clean as in the pictures right now. Need to give it some attention this weekend...
The spoon b-pipe made a very subtle difference to the exhaust note. It isn't loud or even very noticable but it is does sound nice.
Vtec point is set at around 4700rpm now which makes a big difference to driving the car. Power is so much more accessible now.
Also fitted ferodo pads all round so it stops well too... which is nice :thumbup:

Fair play - I'm jealous!!
Never really been into modifying cars; slowly getting sucked in - a k100/kpro is all I have on my mind now!

Good pads but the dust is a nightmare
