O_o

Only mods were Mugen airbox and a set of JDM mats.

Ahh, my AEM filter sits below the engine at the front to draw in the maximum cold air, when i seen that box i thought of mugen supercharger hehe

Cheers for the replys, i cant get enough of my car atm

 

[Trox]

Yeah

lol

JDM mats are the red type R mats, thick carpet style mats which cost around £120

Im going to buy a set, they look excellent along with the red carpet

I read they add an extra 10bhp too...


lol

Another 55 reg premier owner here, welcome to the family

I keep meaning to pick up some of those JDM mats, but the stealers told me they're not available anymore... anyone know a good site to pick some up?

Yep i found out a place that sells them, £120 though
http://www.unit-8.co.uk/acatalog/EP3_Trim.html

Ive been told that those are the real deal.

I also found out the part number for honda to supply them but its a nightmare trying to get them to order them in, dunno how.

Go back to your dealer and give em this:

lol guess your on the type r forums then

I should be joining the 197bhp breadvan club in June, if not sooner. I need to wait out for my insuance renewal as I'll be 22 with 1 year no claims (touches wood, crosses fingers etc. etc.)

Does anyone know that to look out for when buying? Also, what are the main differences between the facelift and noin facelift mechanically or performance wise? I may have to settle for a pre-facelift as the prices for CTRs still seem a little high at the moment, even though the new one is out.

What is this "Premier" you speak of too?

Facelift models have black and red interior, red inserts on door panels, red and black seats, more sound dampening etc, i heard there's over 1000 small changes that you wont probably notice
The Premier version is late 05/55 plates which come with rear tints, racaro seats, red carpet and momo steering wheel, pretty much the same spec as the 30th Anniversary CTR.

Sp00n, that silver CTR looks very clean!

Going to order the mats this week from unit 8, i hope theyre the real deal now

Honda said £120
Unit 8 are next day delivery

Thing is, i went in to the local Honda garage and i told them the part number, they said they couldn't find the item, even though i quoted them the correct number.
They told me another part number and said that there £120
