First Mods!!

[Shep!]

hi there just wondering what you think should be the first mods i should do to my type r gt?? and how much these would cost looking to book in soon so any help would be greatfull cheers shep

I would recommend the HKS racing suction kit & milltek cat back exhaust. You will be very pleased with these mods. When in VTEC the sound is just incredible, Go for it you wont be disapointed! ABP great service too.

I have had my car 1 day and am already planning..

New sound system
Getting a grand prix pack
LED sidelights and good quality fogs
(Looking into getting a flip key!)

Then eventually when insurance allow it some performance mods

[J_H]

Hondata Flash Pro.

[Kimotherapy]

Supercharge it.

[RickHondaR]

Footwell lighting but I am biased as a I make and sell this seriously through if in doubt speak to Paul at TDI North as he will give good advice.

If your talkin power then it has to be flashpro first, use the group N map until you have some other mods then get it properly mapped to get the most out of everything

as a cheap way of makin the car look a bit better, speak to mr JP for some new headlights, sidelights and main beams (think I remember you sayin it was a 57 plate you just got so...) I would get the 6000k headlights and main beams with the 501 sidelights (think the 25 LED sidelights may be too bright/blue for the halogen bulbs)

it really depends on how much money your lookin to spend...the optional splitter/diffuser look great but at around 650 plus fittin not cheap

hope this helps...

Thanks lads for your quick replys, not to clever when it comes to technical mods, just like my cars to be a tad quicker than the standard ones!
Supercharger would be nice but bit extreme for the family!ha

Things i want doing over next few months is;

Window tints
Ice
Rage alloys
footwell lighting (if rickhondar can help)
ipod connection
hondata flash pro (bit more info needed)
induction kit
oversized brake disks
strut brace
short shift gear change
Do want exhaust system but dont like the round exhaust pipes stuck out, prefer the triangle shape as they are, do they make any after market ones that match original shape??

Also going to paint my calipers any idea what best paint is??

some list but any help or prices with this lot would be great!!

The flashpro has a generic group N map which will drop your vtec changeover to 3800 and thus gives more urgency and power over the midrange (where the ctr is sadly lacking) it is also enables you to full custom map your ecu once you add more mods. It also has launch control and as it is MAF tuning it retains all comp functions

As for the exhaust question...you do know that the pipes are not traingular?? I think all aftermarket exhausts aside from the HKS are discreet in that they do not exit the triangles

[jeremiah]

first mod HAS to be... the CIVINFO sticker!!!

+25 bhp guaranteed

[RTivicCype]

Civinfo sticker on the back window Cheapest coolest mod you can buy

[coste1l]

frs and better pads 1st imo

[Shep!]

Dont forget the GM or Mugen Induction although they are a lot more expensive so depends how much you want to spend on it. Paul at TDI North will be able to help. Im having the Mugen Induction kit fitted this month, The kit is around £1000 cant remember full price think the GM induction is around £950.

What this about Flash Pro having launch control.... This is also getting fitted onto the car didnt even know it had launch control...

Back to the mods window tints look great and low cost. The Flash Pro is around £500 and to have the car mapped around £220 again speak to Paul at TDI North for prices.

LOL dont worry about it mate, its deceiving because the pipes are so far in! the milltek is good mate i would recommend it, i think ABP are doing it for £449 inc VAT plus fitting at the moment (not sure about other prices...speak to Paul at TDI north too) its a pretty good piece of kit sounds good too - i was surprised actually as i thought it would be a bit BBBUUUURRRRR but its quite a nice noise and its relatively quiet until you hit VTEC then it really complements the angry revving

as for the FlashPRO i think its 568 inc VAT...you should have a scout about and see if anyone is selling one cheaper on the site...you need to be quick though they dont hang around for long! (the flashpro is only used to remap the ECU and is not attached to the car all the time therefore it just sits in a drawer and is effectively brand new so if you can pick one up cheap it'll be as good as new - bargain!)....IMO dont bother with a proper remap until you've got a few other mods as the Group N map will be fine until then!

for me FRS, new discs/pads etc are a waste of money...simply becuase the CTR breaks can more than handle the stock and my current power output so i dont see any need to change them (other than maybe when your gettin it serviced then you may want to get Honda to put your own choice of pad on) and FRS etc is great....if your always driving on country roads or on the track but day to day you wont really notice it if, like me, its just normal roads/mways your on...it really depends on how far your wanting to take it..if your going down the handling route its a set of eibach springs, FRS, new brakes, LSD etc...for power its flashPRO, new catback, intake, bigger TB, race header etc etc and for looks it has to be tints, front splitter/rear diffuser, painted calipers, wind deflectors, etc how much do you earn?? lol
