The largest Civic Type R club forum

Hey Guys,

Here is my 2004 Honda Civic Type R.

I searched for it for a long time, and boy did the searching pay off! :WOOT
I found that there is a lot of junk out there TBH, but I'm well pleased with my choice.

It's my 6th Honda, but my first K-series engine so I'm enjoying getting familiar with the different characteristics of this STUNNING engine! For the laughs and fun factor for the price, I don't think there's much that can beat it

It's only just gone past 50,000 and is an absolute virgin :cooldude:

No mods yet, but I have planned for a few additions in the not too distant future

A few low-res pics:







Let me know what y'all think :salut:

Looks in great nick mate. How far are you going go with modding it?

[Stevo M81]

Nice looking CTR :thumbup: what's the 1st thing you have planned for it.

Thanks Guys

I'll defo be at JapShow, wanna see what she can do on the strip.

Well I've learnt the expensive way that the only way to big power is through FI (My old turbo'd CRX scared the sh-t out of me), and I plan on keeping this one ALL MOTOR BABYYYYY, so I have planned the following:

0) First things first - getting the front end resprayed to get rid of a few stone chips. It's not bad at all, but I'm a bit anal with that sort of thing and would rather have it looking perfect! Want to replace the mats, refurb the gearknob and the door handle inserts and all those sorts of fine touches.
1) CW Wheels, common now it seems, but this looks too good on the Milano CTR to resist. Not sure if I should go for a red stripe around the wheels though, do you guys think it'll look kitsch?
2) OEM Fog Lights
3) JDM ARB
4) Fast road setup
5) AEM CAI (Gruppe M would be jazz, but I refuse to spend £600+ on an intake)
6) Spoon B-Pipe (Must have imo, can't believe how thin the OEM pipe is)
7) DC Mani/RBC Intake Mani (The only maybe's on this list)
8.) Hondata KPro

That's the project plan so far. I'm saving up for a wedding, and paying off a bond so these days the disposable income isn't as great as I wish so I gotta prioritise the mods somehow :scratch:

Does the order make sense?

[54typeRchris]

A good list there mate. I know how ya feel im saving for a house at the moment and modding my car. I want superstreets and fast road setup next. :thumbup:

[motty]

the DC Mani/RBC Intake Mani will make the most differance when mapped with kpro, i no, ive got both, so they should be yes mods not maybes :thumbup:

Update:

Went to Santa Pod on Sunday, with only the AEM V1 fitted thus far I managed a 14.675 @ 95.46mph, on pump fuel, with full interior and over a quarter tank of fuel :thumbup:

Coupla professional pics from the day:

Thanks man!

I had all the mats, spare wheel, tools and parts still in the boot cause I don't have a garage

If I go again I'll be more prepared and I'll aim for a 14.5 :ymca:
