My Honda Civic Type R CW

Madcaddies · 19th December 2011, 22:42

Hey Civicinfo.com

Bought my Type R CW 3 months ago and absolutely ..... love it to bits!! It had only done 260km when I picked it up at the Honda dealer.
Already bought a few mods which will not go on the car until spring when I plan on getting a lot more mods on the car

Still saving up as much as possible until then.

Well this is my buildthread or whatever you would call it and here are the mods I already bougth for my Type R but not yet on the car:

LED lights for the back license plate:

18" Enkei PF01 lightweight wheels. Don´t know yet if I should stick with this colour or get them painted black or maybe gold?

Blue xenon look a like postionbulbs, not sure what you call them really?

These are the mods I plan on getting next spring.

CPL or Tegiwa exhaust manifold
Hondata flashpro
CPL, Tegiwa or HKS RSK intake
Etune
Eibach lowering springs or a KW V1 coilover.
This is pretty much what my budget will allow me to purchase this time. I thought long and hard about which mods to go for at first and have decided engine mods are my first priority

DEZIBOY · 19th December 2011, 23:17

Madcaddies · 19th December 2011, 23:48

Thanks guys

Yes it will be difficult to wait until april/may to get more mods no doubt. I am very excited to see and feel how much of a difference the engine mods will make

Madcaddies · 12th January 2012, 14:06

Just a little update

Just ordered the following from ABP motorsports:

Eibach camberbolts
Stoptech grooved discs front and rear
EBC Redstuff pads front and rear

Thanks mate

They are already sitting in my garage waiting for spring to come

I can´t decide if I should paint them or not and which colour?

Madcaddies · 14th January 2012, 13:55

Hondata flashpro and CPL race manifold bought second hand. Waiting for it to arrive

Excellent news Rune. Things starting to get exciting now.
If you want to have your car remapped give me a notice. I have some excellent maps for this combination of parts.

N13L: I have thought about painting them gold since it would look awesome on a white car but I am not sure I am a fan of gold coloured wheels

Madcaddies · 15th January 2012, 01:48

Hi Paul

I was planning on using VIT for my Etune but I can maybe be persuaded to give another tuner a try.

What sort of gains/numbers can I expect with my mods from you with:

HKS RSK
HKS catback
CPL race exhaust manifold
Hondata flashpro obvious

Thanks

Rune

With this combination gains close to 30 horsepower and 35 Nm of torque are not uncommon.
When I tune the FN2 I usually try to maximize torque over a wide powerband as it`s a streetcar.

Madcaddies · 15th January 2012, 12:40

Thank you Culasse. I will think it over. There is still quite sometime before I receive the parts and get them fitted.

Hey Guys

Just wanted to give you an update on my project FN2 CW go faster

I have now recieved and or ordered all the parts for my project and the list of mods are final:

18" Enkei PF01 lightweight wheels
Eibach 30/30mm springs
Eibach camberbolts
Stoptech grooved discs front and rear
EBC Redstuff pads front and rear
Goodridge 6 line brakelines
Motul RBF600 Brake fluid
Geo for FRS
Hondata Flashpro
CPL racemanifold
CPL Cai intake with relocation battery "Just ordered today"
Tegiwa single exhaust catback "Just ordered today"

Custom map by Culasse

Only mod on the car so far is the Hondata flashpro with a custom map from Culasse

The rest of the mods will be going on the car in a month or so

I can´t wait to see, hear and feel the difference.

If anyone could describe what I can expect from these mods please feel free to do so

Staffs Deltic · 18th February 2012, 09:48

Impressive list of mods.

The car will feel like a totally different animal with that lot on. I don't have a manifold but have had a drive of a car with one fitted and it has far more mid range torque than mine. The CPL CAI gives a really good sound when on VTEC which is not far off that given by the HKS RSK - its really addictive.

Bet you can't wait now.

Madcaddies · 18th February 2012, 18:47

Thanks for your input. Yes I can´t wait and is very excited to see and feel how much of a difference these mods will give to the car

Think I will drive the car like this for the coming summer and next year start the next level of mods. But have to figure out what is the next step.
