My collegues Civic Type R -

[Nafoff]

I have seen my collegues car plenty of times, but last night i went back with him from bath to oxford. All i can say is i can see why certain people want to go jdm..... the sound was mint the mods on the car really differentiate from normal type-r's and the handling was simply immense... i thought i would post this thread to share it with all.......



Ok finally gotten round to taking some updated pics of how she currently stands. As the others on here were from various stages. Not brilliant but hopefully you get an idea of where she is going.

I know the wheels may not be to everyones taste being both small, and red , but I think they are a little cheeky...

And now the overnight bits from the US.... ta da.....

Above is everything, well except the exhaust centre section.

LCA's and tie bar

Backbox, to be honest it looks pretty well made, seems solid, with good welds. light too. All stainless and full 70mm. I think this is gonna be LOUD!!!!!. Does have a bung though.

gearknob, this is very heavy!

Any excuse to show the ARC kit again:

And look, don't laugh, but it's me

[Darren S]

Very feckin nice! :approve:

Good effort all round, imo.

D.

 

[Skinny]

Lush. Saw it before. But for some reason i thought it was yours? But really nice.

 

[Merk]

Gorgeous, love the wheels.

 

[Alexander]

Looks really nice!

 

[Nafoff]

not a wind up, and yes you may of read it as mine before as that was the previous wind up / joke,

as said this is my collegues from worth, trully awesome car

 

[Englebert]

I like it.

 

[Christopher]

Isn't this car yours?



















Ahhh.

Looks mint. Deserves better wheels than fakey Rotas though. And a Spoon N1.

ARC Intake makes me moist.

 

[Skinny]

lol chis.


Ah. Nice all the same. Nicer if it was white though mmmm.

i could see why you would want to go jdm mate, really can, totally different to the clio, build quality although it is stripped is so much better that the clio too.

The ARC is beautiful isn't it, the cage is a piece of art too

 

[_Tom]

Thats lovely. Couldnt have picked nicer wheels imo.

 

[JD]

likes this, not a fan of wheels in colours other than silver/black/dark but other than that, nice theme!

what sort of power output is he getting lad?

jamie

See now?

Even when they're stripped, they never rattle, shake or fall apart. You can cane them day-in, day-out... they never grumble.

The twelve year-old EK9 i nearly bought, felt more solid and better constructed than my four year-old 182.

They're constructed entirely from win, IIRC.

Not to mention the JDM scene being far less common over here, less passe, too.

what sort of power output is he getting lad?

jamie

I'm guessing around 215bhp-225bhp?

Is he running K-Pro?

Any pics of the ARC, on the car? It really is p**n

 

[Nafoff]

its currently 244bhp atf...and yes it is running k-pro, its down on ast's too.....

it use to be supercharged too

 

[Christopher]

Nice figure, that

Different wheels and big rear JDM tow eye, and it'd be puuurfick.

 

[Nafoff]

tow eye's on the cards, as is a few other things....

 

[JD]

nice output for an N/A

wheels yes, tow eye, not uptodate with this JDM thing yo, pics chris?

 

[Christopher]

BRB. Finding one in my thread... might take a while. lol

 

[Christopher]

On an EG, but your get the idea. Paint it red for maximum win.

 

[rich_h]

That looks very well set up, all the right bits and bobs on it.

Don't like the look of the wheels much but I know the 16s are so much better than 17s in terms of performance, which is what it's all about

 

[Nafoff]

he is familiar with this yeah......

we regularly go through your jdm thread here at the towers mate...lol

 

[cat171]

I really don't like it, sorry.

 

[Christopher]

I'm sure he'll live.

Any more pics of it, Neil?

LSD? It'd be rude not to, with the AST's already on there

 

[JD]

lol chris i started going through your JDM thread last night, got about 27 pages in lol

not sure on the rear tow eye, has to be said . . .

 

[Nafoff]

will see what i can sort mate pics wise...... with the LSD he may do......with more track days in the future, but he's waiting for the clutch.....

you like it don't you chris...lol

 

[rich_h]

All that power without LSD is madness!

 

[SpaceMonkey]

G's car

Some nice mods & goes well.
He knows what I think about the steering wheel though...lol

 

[Christopher]

Keep plodding through it mate.

You'll come through it, converted...

 

[Bjorn]

Like the look of that. As said it could do with a diff.

Those Rotas are just gonna fall apart though

 

[Christopher]

Aren't they just!

 

[Nafoff]

G's car

you know g then.....

 

[Bjorn]

Aren't they just!

Lol. Dont have to defend them anymore, got a new set of Ce28n's

 

[MaLicE]

was about to say he got some nice parts then ruins it with shitty f**king pig iron rotas!

i nearly got a set of ce28n's for the rex but missed out

liking the greddy gravity gul flames atm....

 

[Nafoff]

The Rotas are my (yep G here) second set and whilst the polished lip has a few marks thanks to all the salt our lovely councils throw down. They are pretty solid rims. The GT3's are tough as far as they go. And they have taken a few knocks. They are holding up as well as my Buddy Club P1's I did have on.

I do have a plan to change them in the summer for a set of Street Max S02's

 

[Christopher]

My hero
