Hi everyone!

Jonboy8 · 19th April 2008, 10:01

Well this is a first for me. Never been joined to a forum before; But seeing that I have just ordered a Civic Type R GT in Silver I thought I give it ago.
Should be picking the Civic up within a couple of weeks, must say I'm getting very excited. I did use to own the old shape EP3 in Silver and spent about four grand modifying it; but then what with getting married and buying a new house and now a baby in tow. I had to sell the EP3, and now two and half years on I can now get a new one (now being the FN2).

Once purchased I will post up some pictures. Until then, nice to speak to you all!

Welcome Jon,

The place is friendly, fun and informative - you love it

.

Don't forget to post some pictures when you get your car, will you?

Jonboy8 · 19th April 2008, 10:26

Well to be honest I did like the look of the Bronze, but from a distance it still looked Black. With dark colour cars they are a bugger to keep clean. Anyway in my opinion a Silver one looks more defined and classy but still keeps the aggressive sporting looks!
Also I won't forget to post pictures... Thanks for the replies.

Hi Jonboy8, and welcome to the best Civic forum on the web.

Do you have a Civinfo sticker yet to put on your new steed when it finally arrives. It might increase my chances of spotting one

Jonboy8 · 20th April 2008, 09:02

Hi Foggy 69, yes already purchased the medium union jack for the back window.

Hi Good choice of colour - very rare for the CTR

There is plenty of very useful info on here for the CTR owner - the wiki is a good place to find things to start with:

Cheers Munro, I'll have a look later. I see you have a Silver GT, how you finding it to live with. Is it what you expected or more?

The CTR is brilliant fun and very practical. Engine and gearbox are fantastic. The ride is a bit too hard on poorly surfaced roads, but you get used to it. Highly recommended.
