Mine has the top spec,

Red Recaro's
ABS
PAS
Electic Windows & Mirrors
Driver & Passenger Airbag
A/C
6 Spoke Alloy wheels
Centre console has a standard stereo fitment
Red Carpet
Blacked out rear windows

I will dig some sites out for you to look at.

The 1/4 mile is generally around 15.5 to an average driver, but book is 15.0, 100 comes up in 16.7, to 60 is 5.7.

The VTEC comes in at 6000rpm, and will go well into the Red.

Under the bonnet it should have a blue piece of metal with the car model number which should be EK9 .....

The engine model is B16B, it should have a red head and red strut brace on the front.

The standard tyre fitment was Briddgestone RE010 195 55 15.

I might know of this car as my friend in Scotland used to have one, but used Toyo's.

Their is some replicas, and the best bet is if it has 4 studs it is a replica, the original CTR's all used 5 stud.

Let me know what you thought
