Civic Type-R Owners Club & Forum

Hi guys, I bought 'Soulless' ep3 TYPE R just before my bday in November!! I thought its about time to make one of these threads, as I have alot of plans lol

I am changing from a E320 cdi Benz which Iv had for about 3.5years and now im back home in MK I wanted something abit more fun to drive, i just miss the 80mph+ torque from the benz lol

When we had some sun, i gave it a quick detail, a pic of the Benz(when dirty) lol















So mods it had ontop of premier spec:

- Rota Torque (gunmetal grey?) which were only on the car for 300miles before i bought it, wrapped in Bridgestone!
- Lowered 40mm on fk springs - original included
- Aftermarket B-pipe
- lightly tinted front windows
- Heko wind deflectors
- Smoothed/boared out airbox, with cold air feed from grill
- Expensive screens professionally mounted into back of recaros
- Kenwood headunit installed
- Momo pedals


Since I have had the civic, I have done a few changes:

-Installed some 8000k 55w HIDs
- 25 SMD LED AMBER sidelights
- Led rear numberplate lights
- Sony Headunit installed
- Full service, all the fluids changed, upgraded pads

Plans for the future:

- Bought abp eibachs -30mm with front adjusters, just waiting to buy some second hand eibach rear camber adjustment bolts, and get FRSU done

- BIG sound system install - my last two systems in the Merc were OVER 4000w peak, OVER 2000W rms (subs + components) in the large planning stage at the moment as it will be alot of wiring and work, hopefully looking like 4 screens, 1 being a pioneer 5900 dvd headunit with reversing camera fitted, infinity kappa components amped via infinity amp, alpine typre R components for rear, RE XXX v3 12" sub for bass tuned quite low and a seperate dvd player for music dvds, and sound deadened

- Wrap wingmirrors, bonnet, roof,spoiler,interior in carbon fibre, and have some stickers to put on lol
- Add sunstrip(same shade as rears to windscreen) and paint calipers when weather improves
- Mugen/replica spoiler and front grill and maybe front splitter
- Tewiga/gruppe M induction kit (Not in the near future)
- r8byb B pipe- not sure about the difference in sound between unsilenced and silenced?
- Fit dc5 brembos
- Start button on left of steering wheel
- Skunk 2 gearknob
- Armrest
- Red vtec Lights inside car
- Red Lip around alloys


I just need to get a new high paying job so the project can get moving quickly lol

Let me know what you guys think, and any questions you may have. I know not everyone will like it, or like certain bits about it, but that's because we're different people lol.

That was one of the main things when looking at the car, last thing i wanted was some shite cutting into my recaros lol. heres a pic for you mate, the cloth around the passenger screen is a little lose, but when i get my system fitted, il get the cloth pulled in. I got my audio guy to have a look, and he commented on how well its been done, apparently the screens are a very respected brand!! let me know what you think:

thats a good looking civic mate. its quite an inspiration for my civic type r 'replica' project. any chance you wanna give me your front grill and rear badge? and maybe your engine
