Fit tein coilovers to drop it abit.
Change plugs for ngk 7's and service


Hope you like it as much as me, this is my first type R and got to say i love it! 2 doors gets alot of attention, wether it be on the motorway or getting stopped at work asking about it. Awesome!

Thanks in advance
Dan
Fit defi gauges

 

nice

 

very nice.

all I'd do is change the colour of the alloys

 

Sweet, what bhp you expecting when you drop the SC36 in ?

 

Funny that as thats on the to do list but i can live with them for now.

 

350 will be nice, its an animal on the whiney vf28, to me anyway

 

Lovely looking R
I had the vf28 on my V5 wagon, and yeah they whine like an old bitch!

 

It's really bad. Like a supercharger lol... Been told its only a matter of time before it causes real problems, so as i got a brand new sc36 that came with the car i will change it asap

 

Lol, mine made that noise but when I removed it to fit a AF TD05-18g there wasn't any play on shaft or cracks in housing so you might be lucky like me

 

Rather not take the risk mate. I'm worried about using boost when it sounds like that. 3 days driving like a grandad because I'm paranoid. Lol lol

 

Looks lovely!

 

Looks ace. What sort of money are these?

 

do you have any more pictures of the rcm air filter have been looking at these but they are £170
thanks

 

Lovely r mate

 

Great looking car.

 

Very nice!

 

I can get you some tomorrow matey if you need them. Sounds awesome! Turbo spool noise and flutter is brilliant




Thank you all for your kind comments

 

Looks tidy, decent spec too

 

Cleanest classic I have ever seen in the flesh..

 

Nice lookin classic ....

 

Not many in this colour about

 

I thought that myself, not seen many at all..

 

my old one from
about 6 or 7 years ago
was running 350bhp on the vf28 or 29 can't remember ( proper at the limit )

would love to know who has it now as not seen it any where

 

thanks buddy but just bought one lol can,t wait to fit it sat

 

330bhp is a sweet spot power wise on a classic (road use) I've always found

What Teins are going for...? Apart from the height drop, what are you hoping for ride wise? You may be throwing the baby out

 

Small update on the R.

Fitted new defis and carbon pod


Changed the whiney turbo for the brand new SC36




Split the intake pipe so fitted the samco i had in the boot




Fitted black crystal headlights and sidelights



Fitted FPR and forge header tank, polished washer bottle, fuse cover.



Bought some new wheels, test fitted only as being refurbed tomorrow



Will upload tomorrow once the wheels are finished.

Also I'm off to see Bob rawle next friday to map the SC36 in and man up the Antilag abit. lolol

Hope you approve of my changes

Dan

 

Will be interested to see what the 36 makes . . I have a 38 on the way

 

Well I won't actually know until it goes on the rollers. Simtek ecu has no delta dash to estimate power. Hoping for a nice bit of power out of it.

 

Off to swindon tomorrow to see Bob Rawle.. Excited

 

Nice Type R, SC36 on a close ratio box going to make a very quick accelerating car!!!
