Just wanted to say hi im a new 01 Type R owner and have a couple question for you guys. I had alot of hondas in the past mostly for drag but i got this car for a too good to be true deal so i picked it up.. my questions for you guys are mostly suspension related. the car as it sits is koni yellows/ground controls. what are some easy mods i can do to the car to make it handle better.. i was going to get

passwordjdm 2 point front strut tower brace
" " 2 point rear strut tower brace
JDM type r 23mm rear sway bar


what else can i do thats easy.. thanks alot


Daniel

 

...take it to the Expo!

 

My advice: Get on track and take it from there. You might find out that it is plenty capable in stock form.

 

Stock suspension is amazing. At Expo 6, Carl (the Quebecian) had a very fast Type-R on 100% stock suspension. I hate to say it but I had to give him the point by. I swear it was the supercharger.

Agreed. I was on stock suspension for E6 & E7. Carl was hilarious.

very true

 

I spent tons and tons of cash on mods thinking I was preparing myself for track. In the end, it made the learning curve that much more difficult since my driving skills were far beneath my car. As others have stated, I would really recommend starting from stock and just going from there. Track time is the best money I have spent, and will continue to spend.

 

cool thanks alot ot everyone that has responded.. yes i would love to do a track day or two. a good friend of mine races and does track days and wants me to come out.. i guess i see how my funds look come time and try to get out there..

sounds good to me

welcome to the ITR community. to vanquishing hardparkers everywhere

 

Congrats on the purchase ! I recently got mine and love it. I feel like it handles better on the stock suspension than some of my other hondas with aftermarket setups !

 

Hi Daniel, welcome to the "R" family. For those who don't know him. Daniel is a great guy and has some bad-*** Honda cars that I wish I have.
