Excuse the seat covers but this is a daily driver (work, football etc) and i dont want to ruin the recaros. Im sure you all understand.

Any comments welcome!

Looks nice mate, what happened to the old CTR?

Looks good, you need some of the proper recaro seat covers. :thumbup:

Nice motor mate. What's the story with the old one?

Nice but it's called a Premier not a Premiere.

Looks to me like he was driving like a tit.

Bit harsh to say that as you don't know the circumstances etc. Could have been anything, someone elses fault, tyre blow out, patch of oil. Or of course he could have been hitting VTEC in 6th gear in the wet round a bend!

Long story short, was cut up on a dual carraigeway at the bottom of a bridge where there was a lot of standing water, braked heavily and aquaplaned!
Was only going 55 mph, which is a bit of luck as i didnt have belt on, but came out unscathed luckily!
Still, ended up with a better car, for no extra money!

m1ke, why dont you :stfu:

Hitting vtec in 6th? 150mph over that ropey old bridge? Rather you than me!

Anyway, next up was a respray on the rims! Had to borrow a set of these of my mates evo (which fit straight on for future ref).





Whilst switching the wheels over, i decided to paint the calipers silver. Did this by cleaning the calipers offwith brake degreaser and a wire brush. Then used Hammerite silver to paint them and was more than pleased with the results. They've lasted as well, must of done a fairly decent job.






Fitted a tenzo r battery tie, spoon socks and a mugen oil cap, as well as a lee H earthing kit (not shown)







Above mods good for an extra 25bhp

Got the wheels back, after getting them refurbed and sprayed in Aston Martin Midnight Pearl! Didnt want to get black, but wanted them darker than the cosmic paint! Am over the moon with the results:





Fitted a brand new set of Yoko Parada spec 2's in 215/40/17 as these are lower profile by miles and are wicked in the dry!
Although, as you can on previous car, im not a great fan of the wet!



Fitted:





Cleaned the inside thoroughly and fitted a new set of mats, even took the seat covers off!

That looks quality mate :thumbup: But needs lowered big time.

Next up is a set of these:
(Skunk 2 lower control arms)



Ive had these fitted along with a FRSU and eibach pro's courtesy of TGM. Ill get some pictures up soon!

On order at the moment is:

CF intake manifold cover

CF spark plug cover

JDM wind deflectors

Tegiwa M intake

SFS hose

Neuspeed short shifter

HEL braided hoses and a Brenscivic rocker cover! Cant wait for this all to arrive! Ill post pics when it does/when its fitted!

Any comments, suggestions, or thread crapping welcome! :thumbup:

Ahh good stuff, lowering always makes them look so much more aggressive. I love my white rims.....but trust me your dark ones look so good mate, I'd be happy with either tbh.

looking very nice mate.

Hello bud, im waiting for my tegiwa M to come then rest assured itll be in the post to you mate. Maximum ten days before its on route mate, cos to be honest, i could do with the £40 refund! I spent so much on her recently.
