I was just about to say that..

Car looks sick and then TACH. Your OEM tach don't work?

also why you upgrading injectors? The stock injectors are very efficient especially with the mods you have and the mods you mentioned you are doing.

The tach, is it my big Autometer your meening by that?
If it is, I bought the car with that, I don't use that very much, I just like the big shiftlight, I use the car most on Trackdays.

Why I am changing my injectors, because with my cams and etc. I am alredy running 90% of it's max capacity, so now with the RBC, I rather stay on the safe side and upgrade them. The Injectors are from a 2007 S2k, (still 2,0) and they fitt spot on, with no modifications :D

Here is a short list of what I have done with the car..

Toda N2 Camshafts
Toda Valve springs
Toda Headgasket
Hondata Heatshield
A lite polished cylinder head.
RBC intake
Spoon 70mm throttlebody
Energy Suspension engine mount
AEM Cold Air Intake
DC Sports header (non cat)
Supersprint Catback
Neuspeed Shortshift
Hondata K-pro Ecu
Sachs 2way adjustable coilovers, from a race car.
Camberkitt front and rear
Sparco EVO front seat
Carbotech XP10 pads in front and XP8 back
Mugen grill, front and ving
Cusco 1,5 way LSD
380cc injectors
etc etc.

Sorry for my poor english.

Because I am from sweden i would apriciate if you wouldn't use that much shortend words

JCL, for your information, the CAI gives more HP than the Mugen box, the DCrh gives as much peak power as the much more expensive Toda RH, and the only difference between the Toda and the DC is that the Toda had a 2hp better midrange power on the dyno, and coast like 3 DCrh. I don't know what bcrh is, is that Buddyclub? I didn't post this topic cause I wonderd what I would like to do with my car, just thought that it would be fun to post som pics of my CTR from Sweden..

Beautiful car but the Autometer Monster Tach should go and then find a subtle place to put your shift light.

way to be influenced by the masses....

nice ride, but is that a real Civic Type R?
...the valve cover should be red... right?


post a better shot of that engine bay!
Welcome, and Good Luck!

WyldRice, well, I don't use the Tach, it's just that I have been lasy, the grill I have planed to paint the whole summer.

Offcourse it is a real CTR, with the K20A2 engine. Yes thats right, the valvecover is red on theese engines, here is a bad shot with my mobilephone, and my RBC is mounted.

why is your upper radiator support missing? the rbc intake will fit with just a little bit of clearancing, complete removal is not necessary

Minus bling, that's nearly pointless.
