I might be P/X my UK300 for a Civic Type R.
Can anyone answer the following questions on the Civic or point me to a Type forum please.
Is it easy to install a different head unit?
What sort of mods and power out put can be done and gained?
Are there any replacements for the headlights?

If anyone want to make me an offer on MY01 UK300, please feel free.
offered £16500 as PX. 10k miles, full service history, Private plate, ITG Panel Filter, 4 month old Blitz DTT.

Getting up to 230-250bhp is possible relatively cheaply. Beyond that is a struggle, and will absolutely definently require an LSD. Spoon and Mugen make them for track use and they cost around £1200+ fitted!!!

From what I've read,m the maximum conversion so far is 310bhp from Mugen but it will cost a small fortune, both your kidneys and the title deeds to a small country of their choosing!

I would disagree - modifying a Type R to get any decent gains in power is not easier and relatively expensive for what you get !
It requires head work and extensive exhaust replacement....
The only other way is fitting a supercharger - which as you can imagine isnt cheap.
The type R engine is already a highly tuned beast to obtain 200BHP without turbocharging.

Thanks for the info.
The other option is to go for the S2000.
Has anyone got or driven one of these.

I've got an S2000 (fantastic car!)

What do you wanna know?
RWD, 240BHP, 0-60 in 5.5. Certainly fun!

go to www.s2ki.co.uk for more extensive info onthe S2000.

Is there actually a Supercharger available for the Civic Type R? Wow!
I know Jackson Racing and another American company made a supercharger for the VTi but didn't know anything about a supercharger for the ivtec CTR. Any links?

Thanks, Andy.

Yep, relatively easy. I have a step by step guide if you need it. The Autoleads facia adaptor is still () in production, but should be ready in a few weeks. You can istall without but have to put up with a small gap top and bottom of the HU. Nothing major though.


Agree its not cheap and not easy. Turbos and/or NOS are the only way to get good gains.

Morettes out soon. Heres the Morette artist impression of what they'll look like.

That looks well nice!

The head lights are the only thing I dont like about the CTR

stevenuk300

So are either of them worth trading the Scoob in for?????

rich uk300

those lights look nice

i'm thinking about a ctr...had a test drive and was impressed with the car and handling only downer for me was its acceleration it was slooooooooooooow

stevenuk300

You don't get the kick like what you do with the scoob, but it is better on fuel economy, cheaper insurance, and a year old one was up for sale at £1000 less than a new one, so they also hold their value, unlike my UK300.

rich uk300

not much better fuel economy as you have to rag the **** of it to keep up any kind of decent speed

still like them though

stevenuk300

So RichUK300, have you had a valuation on your UK300? Are you as disgusted as me?
Subaru have really stiched 01/02 owners right up.

rich uk300

sold my uk300 awhile ago for 20k

i now have a P1 which i wil be selling later this year

stevenuk300

Well done, you got rid of it at the right time.
What are you going to go for after the P1

rich uk300

ctr,cupra r .....something like that...cant decide at the moment

wilf

Clio Cup?

stevenuk300

Big difference.
Why the change?
Cheaper Fuel, Insurance?

rich uk300

need to free up some cash,and yes its slightly cheaper on insurance and fuel

Ali-T

Sorry, but those headlights make it look like a f**king Corsa!!!

stevenuk300

I'm sure there's bound to be more and more companies producing styling parts for the Type R. There doesn't seem much there at the moment, so it will only be a matter of time.
