Picked up my R today. Man, i love this thing so much. Drove it home on the interstate, and it was a little rough with the coilovers it has, but it was a blast. 3rd gear vtec ownz, haha, now i know what everyone is talking about.

Current mods from old owner are as follows:

17" Rota Sub Zero's with Toyo Proxes
Tanabe coilovers( i think they are the sustec type 2's)
AEM cold air intake
DC Header
Greddy Evo exhaust
Spoon rear strut bar, and arm bands


That's all i can think of, all i'm going to do is raise it up a little (way to low for me) And put some red lugs on the wheels to spice them up a little bit. Also, tint the windows and remove the spoon sports sticker from the windshield.

It's got a garage, and is in good hands.

Oh yeah, and it just hit 23456 miles on the odometer when i rolled into my driveway tonight.

Thanks for reading, i'm washing it and taking pics tommorow.

Cya, Curtis.

Congrats !!

Put some 15" wheels on that bad boy and it should feel a little bit better (just my opinion)

 

this thread is useless until pics are posted

 

I am planning on putting smaller wheels on it eventually, just want to save up some money, and not only will it ride better, but they'd be a little lighter. I'm thinking of getting some slips or subzero's in 15".

Here is a pic I took the first time i went and looked at it.


I'm going to try the mr. clean auto dry car wash tommorow, then wax it with Meguairs NXT wax, and will take pics afterwards.

 

Congrats!

 

Beatiful car. I love the drop right now, but whatever you are comfortable with. I agree on the tint, it is a must have in florida!!

 

Well, i was looking at the front, and the right front wheel was rubbing on the fender, so i'd like to try and avoid that if possible.

The tint is a must have, the A/C worked perfect, but with no tint and black car, it got hot quick, so that should be done within the next week. I'm thinking like 20% on the front windows, and like 10% on the back side windows, rear window, and strip on the top of the windshield.

Thanks guys.

 

Congrats. I know the feeling (times two, CW & FBP). Post more pictures soon.

 

Will do, looked at a CW 98, but it had to many problems and 60000 miles. This one is still under warranty till the end of the year, and only has 23400 miles, it runs like a champ.

 

First thing I'd do is to put a good alarm in that R!

 

is that a scratch i see on the door ?

 

Congrats!

and remove the spoon sports sticker from the windshield.

Is the sticker the real Spoon banner?

 

nice

 

Congrats

I know the feeling, that first time you rip that V-Tech is a insance. Have fun and take care of her. Oh yeah, welcome to paranoia.

 

Ditto on the alarm, i'm getting one installed next week prolly.

No, that's not a scratch, just a reflection.

I'm deffinitely taking the banner off, i don't know if it's real or not, it's silver, so i'm not sure(i figured a real one would be white), but it's kind of a pain in the *** to see through it anyway, so off it comes.

Thanks for the responses guys, can't wait to clean her up and wax her.

 

enjoy it!

keep it safe.

Will we see you & the R at the ITRexpo?

 

Rob, will we see you and your R at the Expo?

 

Nope, won't be at the expo, i'd like to attend some meets or shows here in florida eventually though.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.

 

Hood looks CF in that pic. Enjoy the caR and yeah, def need some new wheels.

I am in FL as well

No A/C and NO TINT EVA! However, on occasion it does own me when I go to work and have to wear long sleeve shirt and pants

But you can actually adapt to this meathod rather than relying on a/c
