My new CTR

Whats with the surge of Civic Type-R's? Its a bad bad thing, every time I see a CTR thread I cant help but want one. Stop posting them, I have little self control and I know what will happen. Congrats by the way it looks stunning.

They've come down to silly money these days. With 36k of them made, there's pretty common and with the economy the prices have dropped quite a lot over the past 12 months. Easy to pick up a bargain and makes me sad considering what I'm paying for mine :(
 
Indeed, very good bargains to be had atm on CTR's.

ATR's have also gone down in price quite a bit in the last 6 months as now you can buy a 99/2000 one with 70-80k for as little as £3.5k!
 
£5800 got me my facelift model with aircon and 52k on the clock :D

The premier edition sounds right, it does indeed have the black and red recaro seats, and it has a leather cover round the gear stick as opposed to the standard plastic one. It has been lowered a bit, and the back suspension is aftermarket, although not sure which ones. The only other thing it has had done is privacy tinting all round, which looks lovely on the black car I think.

It cost me £140 for the detail, which I think was very reasonable.

I am not much into the workings of cars and am just going to leave it standard. Although my friend keeps telling me i need a new air intake to really get it growling!

Sounds like it's on 25mm springs with a JDM (thicker) rear anti roll bar. Otherwise it would be odd to only have aftermarket suspension at the back! The gear gaiter is aftermarket also, they never fitted leather ones standard.

It probably had a fast road suspension setup too which includes camber adjusters (£200 all in) if it was lowered, as the geometry would be out of wack otherwise.

Problem is that's 10 years old. Also them Recaro seats don't wear too well and I'm sure the interior is probably starting to rattle a bit.

Well at least you'll be eliagble for the 2k scrappage scheme :D
