Hes running a RBC inlet, DC Sports 4-2-1 decat mani, Buddyclub Spec3 cat-back, K-100 ecu and Gruppe-M air filter. Also lowered on Spoon springs with Eibach camber bolts and arms with a ABP FRSU.
ABP springs are know to go lower than what is stated, ive seen a few on CTR owners that have dropped more like 45-50mm.

Who set yours up for the FRSU?

Was hoping to get it booked in at tdi but they were too busy and it needed doing asap as the geometry was all over the place. So just went to the local tyre specialist and gave them the settings that I wanted put on 
They were a doddle to fit and im a mechanical novice haha. Only downer was splitting one of the boots on the track rod end. But they were only £12 from ECP so not the end of the world 
how you finding yours? Find that mines got better turn in now and feels more planted at the front.
However I need to change my exhaust now as its hitting on everything now its low 
Spend some pennies on it and you can gain bit of poke, superchargers ftw

Ah cool, bet its loud though? Whats it like when its not in vtec, boomey? Sounds nice, what colour is it?
Yeah I agree with ya on that drop, looks alot lower than my shop I judged it to be. Still comfy though which is the main thing!

Ah sound then, I just wanted ABP to do it all as they'd have it down to a T. Didnt take long and was impressed with there service.
Im loving mine TBH, big improvement over stock. I get a touch of oversteer at higher speeds but thats driving on the limit, turn in feels real nice now, felt weird before.
LOL stock exhaust is the way forward!  I have been looking @ the JRSC's but its alot of coin. Another £4k+ that I wouldnt get back when it comes to sell :/
Wind deflectors arrived today, look quite well. Will get pictures when ive next got the camera

Ah cool, im liking the stealth sound at the mo but am looking at the 3" outward rolled piper system, simliar to a spoon n1 but quieter and half the price...
Oh yeah you said it was a milano earlier! Lol

Sounds like its driving good then
Stock exhausts are indeed the way forward, might switch back to the standard back box with a custom centre. Will lose a few ponies due to the forced induction but I think I can live with that.
Yer they are alot on money but you may be able to pick up a second hand kit. I was lucky and mine came with one already on it so the expense was done my someone else

Yeah it's all gravy, potenzas all round next when I can be arsed, need to save some coin again! lol.
Im loving the quiet noise at the mo, it was 2006 last time I had a car that was relatively quiet..! May purchase a Teqiwa airbox as they're only down the road but that will be in the summer.
Exactly, if i do go the supercharger route i would have to sell this then buy one already done, car to date owes me £9k, cant justify a £15k 300bhp civic!! Haha

Yeah they are really nice, they're a 3.5". Had a huge jap can on the MR2 so wanted something abit more subtle this time around.
Got it less than half price and its brand new...!

Fujitsubo arrived yesterday and had it fitted within an hour of it arriving. Sounds superb, nice and quiet but 'throaty' in VTEC.
Fits spot on and the welds on it are fantastic. The geezers at the exhaust centre said it was the best exhaust they had ever fitted... (yes I'm lazy and cant be arsed spend my whole day off under a car fitting an exhaust..!)
Car needs a wash and I havent got any pictures of it fitted.
Just to keep an eye out for a Gruppe M now but will probs end up with a Tegiwa replica.
Any comments?

Cheers fella, yeah sits bang on. B-pipe only sits a little lower than stock so hoping it wont catch too much.
Love how quiet it is!

Cheers fella. The Spoons are too loud and TBH I've been there too many times with OTT exhausts. And this was cheaper than a new Spoon 
Yeah Tegiwa are only in Stafford so will probs go for one of them - will bring out the VTEC crossover as it sounds abit bland in stock form..
