Nice car. Have you bought this from CSG? It looks mint. I would go for the P1 lip, tear drop carbon mirrors but you wont have electric folding mirrors anymore! Also lower it abit & defo go for a remap.

Nice car you got there fella,and in the best colour imho, if it was mine in this order:
1.Remove the baileys dump valve - fit recirc back on,& add K&N panel filter
2.Remap
3. Upgrade discs and pads
4. Crystal lights on side repeaters/indicators.

That would be it for me car looks awesome as it is

Pretty much as above. Detango, crystals, integrate fog into drivers rear revesrse cluster, remap and underseal but you will have to wait to height of summer next year for latter. I would also add uk rear arch lip protectors and ap's.

Brakes (again), only 2 of us have said that, I wouldnt even bother with discs and pads, there is a set of Alcon 4 pot calipers and pads for sale in the for sale section for 375 quid, you need the discs, another 400 quid, then you have decent brakes, not the crappy subaru 4 pots that really suck, that would be my 1st modification as I would rather stop than end up in the back of a car/hedge/ditch etc.

Here is a low down on the rough spec so far!


Cat 1 alarm and immobilizer with built in turbo timer so you can still lock it with it running down.

Chassis shot blasted and wax oiled black with about 4 layers so not a drop of rust or rot

Black diamond drilled and grooved discs with predator fast track pads

Bailey dump valve

Pipercross induction kit- now removed to OE box due to MAF issuses

Revolution cat back exhaust, not stupid loud but sounds mint.

Team dynamics custom made light weight race wheels in black, same wheels as on civic type r touring car so no one else will have any!

Toyo proxe t1r tyres

STI rally mud flaps.

Boost gauge on steering column, pod in centre console but no gauges fitted in it yet.

Magnacor 8.5 oversized ht leads with solid silver race plugs so runs smooth as, gap set to 27 thou no 30 which red tops run better at.

Timing belt changed 3 weeks ago and a gator kevlar one fitted.

Both rocker cover gaskets changed 6 months ago

Serviced to death, k&N race filters and always run on millers xfs fully synthetic.

Walbro uprated 255 pump as getting it ready for a re map.

Crystal pack headlights with zenon bulbs

Just come out of Carnetix in Melton after new MAF and set up

Hope this is just the start of what more i will be getting done!!
