View Full Version : My daily driver.
Didnt think it was worthwhile putting it in Projects.
2004 Facelift Civic Type R.
Few subtle mods, dont plan to do much more, rather spend my cash on the Nova :d
Window tints (Light smoke, all windows)
Wind deflectors.
K&N Typhoon.
Stainless catback.
Energy polyurethane torque mount bushes.
Will get the wheels refurbished, and eventually lower it as it could do with new top mounts, will gather bits up slowly then blitz it over a weekend.

Thought they'd be better in mpg, had been looking at one but that's back to impreza mpg lol
Mine manages about 300 miles to a tank with a k100 ecu. Faster, more power and better economy so well worth doing.
Would only run K-Pro if i was to go down such routes, was fascinating how easily my mates could be adjusted from an array of basemaps available, and the fact theres a favoured tuner 15 minutes away should i want it further tinkered on a rolling road.
I'd definatly consider it if one came up though, it's one thing i know i wont lose money on.
Edit - Just noticed your signature, what are you running at those figures?
I assume, induction, exhaust, management? You running a facelift/lightened flywheel?
My mates one ran 242bhp with full Toda exhaust & Tegiwa imports gruppe M copy, prior to it being supercharged.

Toda manifold, Kakimoto exhaust, RBC inlet, Gruppe M filter, K100 ECU.
Still running a prefacelift flywheel. Car has done 115k as well!
Sounds well specced anyway, i take it the RBC is where your be gaining a little more power?
My clutch is getting a bit iffy on 88k so may get a further lightened one when i do the clutch.
RBC is meant to gain approx 10bhp so I think so.
My clutch died at about 110k, couldn't engage next gear when over 8k rpm.
I'm going to change the box oil next time works quiet, hopefully buy me some time.
I know the clutch will probably be on its way but no harm in trying out the free option 1st lol
Do you use any Honda forums, mainly to prowl for goodies.
I use jdmy0 but its more general Jap opposed to model specific.
I use www.civictype-r.co.uk quite a bit. Good for parts and info but the chat areas are a bit crap if you are not part of the in crowd!

he's just put a new type engine in his brothers EK9 thats cool as
