civic type r modification

[hellovts]

what would the first 5 modifications you'd do to a civic type r? EP3 by the way

mine is

1) personal plate
2) lowering 30mm or 60mm
3) catback exhaust system
4) HIDs
5) refurb wheels anthratice

:y:

[Ryan]

Id sell it and buy something else :D

[Mochachino]

Exactly the same order as what my mate did that is.

Same really, not too bothered about a plate though.

[Reid]

1.Torque damper
2.Gruppe M
3.Wind Deflectors
4.Mani
5.Cat back

I just need the gruppe M but dam its dear lol

[Dano]

Id sell it and buy something else :D

Lmfao :y:

[hellovts]

Id sell it and buy something else :D

nah im alright thanks i love my civic lol :y: dont like inductions if im honest..

just wondering what anyone else would do (cheap modifications)

no supercharging crap lol

[Reid]

Id sell it and buy something else :D

lol thats becuase you have its track rival a 172 had a fun wae a few of them

[M1VT]

i'd never buy one
so i'd never mod one
:)

it seems the stigma of being elitest once owning JDM clearly isnt true lol

[Ashleyp]

i think his saxo would be more suited to embarrasing the JC fanboy's ;)

[Bickerton]

I'd spend my money on trying to make it look less like a van

[Reid]

Lol thats quite a statement mate

[Mieran]

What colour is it?

Btw, don't listen to ryan, hes just a hater so let him carry on.

[J222JRA]

I actually quite like them.

I would,

magnex catback exhaust,
K&N Generation 2 induction kit.
Exhaust manifold,
Lowered 40mm
Vtec Controller

[Ashleyp]

Lol thats quite a statement mate

in what way?

197bhp in a sub 800kg saxo shell would be more than a challenge for a typeR

of course, comparing highly modded to standard is never worthwhile though IMO

gotta go for a mugen / J's / spoon exhaust system if owning JC

K&N / magnex just dont cut it in the world of jap :P

black:y:

[Ryan]

Lol thats quite a statement mate

My saxo when it ran brands last year hammered CTRs all day long, it hammers my 172.

anyway back on topic :D

[Reid]

Thats what i was getting at his is a modded track set up car

[J222JRA]

Lol, i live in my own little world though so dont have to fllow the crowd :y:

Plus ive head that setup on an ep3 and it made me leak fluids lol

[Jazz]

Id sell it and buy something else :D

Of course the right thing to do would be to sell it immediately for something with inferior build quality and generally driven by yobs :y: not

To the OP- for the EP3 CTR I'd get it lowered a bit, a decent cat-back and sports cat, Skunk2 cams and get a Hondata K-PRO ECU. With some decent mapping it will be a real weapon. Nice cars the EP3's, driven them many times.

[Mieran]

My mate has a twin round magnex on his EP3, it shoots flames and bangs like a mofo

http://i49.tinypic.com/33d85ea.jpg

[Reid]

I have a K&N its a nice sound during vtec but the gruppe m has proven better gains.

the spoon exhaust is too loud for an every day driver like me imo

[Reid]

They flames could get you in some trouble lol
what is his full spec

[Jazz]

Which K&N is it? I have a Typhoon kit on my VTEC and the sound is mad. Also have a Blueflame exhaust which sounds meaty but a tad boomy at motorway speeds.

[Mieran]

Cat/silencer removed and connected to magnex backbox and AEM replica induction kit.

[hellovts]

theyl do that with just the silencer/cat removed and a backbox?! lol..

if so il look into it...

[Reid]

Aye same mate its nice. I dont know about the accord but the civic is hard to fit a cold air feed.
Gruppe m is enclosed and has a scoop that sticks up at the scuttle pannel

[Mieran]

Yep.

I have a few videos of it, sounds amazing.

[hellovts]

leeeeeeeeeeeink please :)

[johnnyg_vts]

Hovis stickers all across rear 1/2 of the type r van.

[kevhoust]

as its been said already induction kit, exhaust, lowered with fast load setup are the three main things to do.

Ive fitted a mugen airbox to mines atm, saving up to get it lowered then going to get an exhaust for it. Keep getting sidetracked with stuff that doesnt make to much of a difference on it though.

[Rogue_Shadow]

Id sell it and buy something else :D

Aww damn it! I only came on this topic to say that! :n:

[jimbo06]

1. ITG maxogen (save the money rather than spend alot more on the gruppe m for little extra gain over the maxogen)
2. A decent cat back sustem (eg a spoon n1)
3. Sports cat
4. Manifold
5. K pro

I think the handling is spot on at standard height. You lowering it for looks

You've still got 4 more mods to pick...

[Cal]

I quite like them a lot, though tbh round my way there's more knobs driving CTR's than Clio's... they feel like its their duty as a CTR owner to 'race' me wherever possible. I understand the rivalry thing, but I think its just sad.

I'd spend the money on making it look tasteful, but different to every other one on the road... they all look the same generally to me.

Same round my way too. I'd have a Clio over a CTR any day of the week.

pfffft :homme:

[Tommo87]

1) Gruppe-M
2) Toda Manifold,test pipe and cat back system
3) Hondata K-pro
4) Uprated ARBs
5) Coilovers

VTEC controlers are shit and a waste of money unless properly dialed in and tuned with the AFR corrected, basically get the K-pro instead.

[JoshB]

Yeah, I get alot of CTR's wanting to "race" me. Had one inches off my back bumper the other night, so I obliged. Bit of turbo torque and I was off while he was still waiting for his vtec to kick in...yo

[hellovts]

funny how renaultsport say ctr owners bait them into racing

i had a bog std spec 172 racing me on a duelc i duly obglied and left him... then backed off come triple figures once i ran out of revs in 5th and put it into 6th...

i think both parties ctr / renaultsport are both racing eachother really lol

il sort my reg onto my civic first! then go about lowering it ... tbh the exhaust is quite loud when pushing the civic.. lol :y: so not sure what to do after its been lowered!

agreed, it depends on who's behind the wheel really.

i love how on this forum all saxo owners say "corsas are owned by chavs and try and race me all the time"

but you can gaurentee on the corsa forums they say "saxo owners are chavs and try and race me all the time"

if driven properly (ie in the right gear and the right speed) it wouldnt have taken long for vtec to kick in lol, all you have to do is rev to 5k which isnt the hardest thing in the world.

If I had the cash I'd do up the gf's ep3 with

1. Gruppe M
2. Mugen twin loop (like the sound)
3. Mugen manifold
4.K-pro the lot
5.Fast road set up to sort out the rear camber

Who fitted the kpro in you S2000

Kpro is on my wish list
I decent remap and vtec at 4000 revs

Even though the civic does have a decent 0-100 time it does lack abit till the high revs

[hellovts]

how much is the kpro thing...

[Jackman]

I'd do one mod.

1. Burn it.

[VTRelite]

Bodies
Spoon intake and exhaust

All you need really

[hellovts]

I'd do one mod.

1. Burn it.

and you drive a 16v 205... :oops:

dont know if i can be assed to mod my type r anyway, looks sexi enouf on the driveway :y:

might do so before summer tho depending... need photoshopping or something (i cant photoshop) lol

[RichT17]

Wouldnt buy one but my mate has a greyen with anthracite wheels , plate and typhoon induction kit and it does sound amazing, you cant really mod them cheaply a their quite tuned from the factory.

I had to make the road trip down to TDI north.

Price depends on how much tunning time you need

A new K-pro plus dyno time can be around £800 plus

Its the ecu & install and then how much time you want on the rollers. More runs = a better map for your mods.

You can always do it a bit cheeper if you get a second hand unit and do a ecu swap with your factory unit. You can then run a basic map from the website untill you have the time to take it to a garage.

A lot of guys on the civc sites get a large wedge of their money back when they sell their car and take off the K-pro.

cool fella :y: quite pricey but for the fun factor esp if keeping the civic for three years at least sounds good.. reliabilty issues or?

K-pro is different from thoes vtec controllers that don't work on the i-vtec engines. Only go to an approved hondata dealer like TDI or unit 8 downn south. If you do that then there will be no issues.

Make sure the cost of reprograming the immobiliser is included in the cost or you'll have to get a dealer to do it since you have removed the factory ecu.

But apart from that, it's triff!

Guy on the civic site has a standard ctr with k-pro - lot of people say its the best mod you can do even if you do nothing else.

[hellovts]

il look into this at unit 8 down south! and sweet!

although if i started modding id lower and catback at least! before k-proing it as i like slightly lowered stance and abit of noise then k-pro would be immense!

time to start working out how much its all going to cost if i go ahead with it :D btw im not on any civic forums, which forums do u recommend?
