Hi my names dan and I've recently bought a honda civic type r in night hawk black in very good condition absolutely loving the car !
I've come from the renault clio sport scene and spent a fortune on my track prepped clio 172 , was an epic little car and very capable on track. But was not practical for everyday use with it being extremely loud and very hard with the suspension setup , so I went on the hunt for a ctr lucky for me a local guy was selling his that he's had for 5 years and has looked after very well , heres the spec as I bought it .
Facelift model
74,000 miles
Mostly honda service history
Clutch changed by honda 3 years ago
12 month mot
4 months tax
Kenwood din head unit with garmin built in
Full professional sound install mtx speakers all round amped up .
DVD player in the ceiling
Rear privacy glass
Slight tint on front
That's pretty much it as I knew him he let it go to me for
£3,000 cash bargain !
Few small problems but nothing major
NSF abs sensor needed
And a tyre
Since owning it the first thing I did was give it a mini detail as the swirl marks where horrendous due to car washes
Here was the outcome .
Excuse the rubbish pics !
I then wanted a little noise so went for the aem v2 , loved the look and noise of this induction kit but was out of with the heat soak issue .
Also gave the engine bay a huge clean as it was filthy
Here's before and after
Recently I've sold the aem v2 on and bought a aem cold air kit instead ! No pics at the min thought
Went up my friends a while back and had a play with his skylines rota grids here's the look
Didn't have the guts to go ahead and buy them lol too much work for them to look better on the car .
But overall loving the car ticks every box and does surprise a lot of bigger cars even in standard form , I do have a list of mods I wanna do.
Aem cai . Done
Hks exhaust system
Japspeed manifold
Rbc intake manifold
Energy inserts
Then k100
Abp springs
Eibach alignment kit
Spacers
Castor increase bushes
Jdm arb
Stop tech brake discs
Ferodo 2500
Superblue fluid
Good ridge lines
Then that's basically where I want it to be then go down the cosmetic route !
Oh and a few pics of my rs clio
Thanks for looking
