Civic Type-R Owners Club & Forum

Hello Guys/Girls I am new to the forum, thought I would start off by doing a car post.

Picked the car up a almost a month ago, seems like a great example, engine is in really good nick (65'000 miles), gearbox is perfect, a few tiny stone chips here and there but for a 7 year old car in excellent nick, very happy

Previous owners have fitted:
Magnex catback exhaust
Premier Recaro seats
6k HID kit
LED Numberplate lights

I have done:
Refurbed Anthracite OEM wheels
Red brake calipers
LED sidelights
Mugen Oil / radiator caps
Mugen Brake Reservoir sock
Tegiwa red anodised spark plug bolts
Black manifold and spark plug cover
EBC Red stuff front pads
Blueberry Jelly Belly Air freshener [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]

Plans:
ABP / Eibach 30mm lowering springs, with camber arms/bolts and FRSU
Carbon wrapped center console and door handles
Skunk 2 gear knob
Alpine single din headunit
New front speakers
Red locking wheel nuts (not sure yet, like the idea but not sure how they will look)
Machine Polish
Private plate
Tegiwa Intake pipe
Tegiwa Intake (Maybe eventually)

I know its another NHB haha but hope you guys like! Thanks for looking, any feedback or suggestions much appreciated!

[smilie=karls_thumb.gif] looks great mate, loving the seats. keep it subtle

thanks guys, yeah im going to go with the subtle look i think, and just continue to keep it tidy and in good nick
what does anyone think about the red wheel nuts? do you think its too much for an oem wheel?

Think you should leave it as is mate red might break it up to much, your car at end of the day though give it a shot see how it goes!

I wouldn't but thats just imo. :salut:
Like the car btw and welcome. :bigthumb:

nice clean car there mate, liking the colour of your wheels. :bigthumb:

Looks nice that :)

Thanks guys, think im going to leave the red wheel nuts for the moment, cant wait to get the carbon center console and door bits, i hate the silver ones, seems daft as they are the only silver part of the car, everything else is red and black...

looks sweet mate dont like the front seats think you need to sell them to me :bigthumb:

Thanks, I actually just sprayed the spark and manifold covers black myself and just stuck a mugen grill badge on haha, you should give it a go.
