Civic Type-R Owners Club & Forum

Picked her up today from a nice young man near Cambridge. Silverstone Silver AP1 (2001) S2000 with red interior, Private S2K plate and 05' centre console. 92k with FHSH.











Done a little over 100 miles in it today, in glorious sunshine... What a car. Gearbox is fantastic, very sure footed and planted compared to the EP3. RWD will take a little getting used to, especially in the wet. Digital clocks also! Very happy with it so far. alloys could use a refurb (But I'll probably change wheels anyway), and the plastic rear window has a tear and needs replacing... But that's it.

Changes/modifications so far stand at:

- 05' Centre console
- Uprated Alpine iPod compatible headunit
- Uprated Focal component speakers

Planned for the future:

- Silver radio door to match gearknob and surround (£30)
- Roof Mod (Enables use of roof whilst in slow moving traffic)
- Roof replaced with Mohair roof inc. Glass rear window (£707)
- 17" Alloys (Undecided, suggestions definitely open. Nothing garish please. Tasteful)
- MeisterR Coilovers (£500)
- Mugen Exhaust (£500)
- Berks 63mm high flow Cat (£120)
- Cooling plate (£120)
- Mugen or Tegiwa intake (£250 - £500)
- Hardtop (£900)
- AP2 Front Bumper (Debadged, de plated and de wiper jetted) (£300ish inc spraying and plastic welding)
- OEM Front lip (£150)
- OEM Low Level rear spoiler (£200?)

So thats £3777 before wheels and tyres. Only labour costs i will have are the coilovers fitted and fast road geo.

Very nice!!! You love a bit of high mileage don't ya!!! how much you get it for?

Very nice...would love a nice AP1. :salut:

Always thought suits s2k with polished slipstreams looked nice. Different to the norm as well.

Is it wrong I now want an S2000?

Very nice indeed, will look even better with a hardtop.

Love it. Dont see sense in spending loads on newer models when i can have something just as good for cheap! Besides, this one certaily dost look for feel like a 90+k car. Its immaculate. I paid 5250 for it. Private.

@ Steve - Oh yeah, forgot to put that in. For sure on my list of things to get, especially for the winter.

@ Newanaive - Looks alright, iv never bee a fan of polished though. Not sure why.

Give me a shout one evening, you're only down the road from me iirc. You can have a poke about and a wee spin.

Let me know if you need a hand with any part choices I've done alot of research as you know

I will

Ill get the little things done first, then move on to the other stuff. Need to put a few pennies away anyhow.

Get my tomtom sucker in the post. Driving back today was a nightmare!

hope the sun shines for you

..Scotty..

Best colour mate. Lets be honest 90k is hardly high mileage! Mines judt turned 90k and its tight as fook lol

Sounds about right

Nice choice of colours, silver and red leather is what I like them in too. I get the S2000 about this time every year

Yeah I know they are supposed to be a nightmare in tge wet. I'm used to quick cars but iv always been FWD. so I'll be taking it easy whilst I'm still on the learning curve!

Antaz, how tall are you? Is it a struggle getting in one of these being over 6ft?

I'm 6ft, 6ft 1 maybe. Not a struggle at all. Obviously it's quite low, so you do kind of drop in and climb out, but it's not a problem. Driving position is good too. Had a bit of a sore back after 100 miles yesterday, but i get an achey back a lot so that may just be me being old before my time.

Nice car mate.. :thumbup:

aww man that is gorgeous

May i ask what the chaps name was you baught it off. As it looks just like my old one

Guys name was Matthew. He bought it from a garage. Not Honda.
