It's been ten days since I collected my Milano Red Type S GT with sunroof (GT is called Plus for Greece) and after some modding and additions, its time to post some pistures.
The car has an 1.8 litre engine. In Greece the Type S models are delivered with the black grille of type r, with the red H and a small emblem type s in it. Also, there is a color coded spoiler in the back and the type s stickers in the sides of the car. Lastly, they include a different gear knob, a black one.
As you can see in the pictures, I have installed parking sensors with a small internal monitor, which was a gift from the car dealer. The dealer has also included as a gift, some thicker mats and an extra car alarm, with small radars and the ability to understand if the car lifted (the alarm has not been fitted yet).
First lets see the car, although you all know it...
In the first picture you can spot the small monitor fitted for the parking sensors. It gives the distance in cm, plus there are differents lights for each sensor when coming close to an object.
Inside you will see that I have changed the black gear knob with one I bought from the american ebay, a knob from an S2000.
First additions was Xenon lights in front !
The set of the lamps converts the existing lights of the car.
Second addition was a new hifi system, including front speakers, a 5-channel amplifier and a 10" subwoofer. The rear speakers were disconnected, the main source remained, a small subwoofer fader was added and also a small retro style switch was added for on/off of the amplifier.
So I took the car to a friend of mine, whose job is to install these things...we started at 8.30 in the morning and finished at 10 at night... the result is superb though !!!
I kept the source of the car, but I installed a pair of handmade 2-way Morel speakers (model Dotech mkII), a Caliber 5-channel amplifier (model ca5900) and a Caliber 10" subwoofer (model cwr 10).
I also fitted a Phonocar subwoofer fader and Phonocar kit for making pre-amplifier wiring. Of course, both doors were treated with isolation kit for better performance.
I used a 5-channel amplifier because the first two channels drive the tweeters, the other two channels drive the mid/bass speakers and the fifth channel drives the subwoofer.
Here you can see the result (the picture was not taken correctly and you might think there are a few problems with the mat in front of the amp, but there are not):
This is the subwoofer fader :
And here is the small switch for powering on the amplifier :
Thats it for now.....
The project still runs though.....
Next step is different alloys in 17" as the factory fitted ones, since I am satisfied with the way the car drives.
I am waiting for your opinion ! [smilie=upyeah.gif]
Thank you also.
Yes the installer is very good to his job, thats why it took him so long to finish the fitting.
The pictures taken inside the car, are after the install of the hifi system. You cannot understand anything, you dont see any cables etc., apart the small switch near the lighter.
What is your next step?
Are you going to paint the spoilers?
I want to install Xenon light too. Are you satisfied with yours? I mean the brand that you have install is it good and reliable or is it a non name brand?

As I said before, I want to change the alloys with others also in 17". I like the factory fitted ones but I want something different from the others civics!
The Xenon lights are a brand that I dont know. The installer said, which I trust completely, that these are excellent lights, the maker offers one year warranty and if something happens to them he will fix it. The result is great. The 6000K option delivers superb white light ! You have to see it to believe it. [smilie=wrygrin.gif]

Like the look of that rear spoiler, cant believe that they come with the grill as standard over there! looks very nice with the type S badge on the grill too, like what robbo has done! very nice little touch!
Hello again! Decided to create a thread about my new car and to have a record of what's been done to it. As previously said in my introduction I had Honda cars before and may consider myself as a Honda fanboy.
Previously owned EJ9 - installed EK9 suspension and Evo4 Recaro seats into it...

After a very busy week travelling with work in Europe I had the pleasure of a wee jaunt to Ayr this afternoon to pick up my new to me fn2.
Had been looking to upgrade for a long time but wasn't really sure if it was the right car for me........had a shot in...
I purchased my 2007 FN2 Type R a few months ago. It’s my daily drive stroke occasional weekend and track toy, so I thought I’d keep you all updated with progress.
There’s going to be plenty of pics and videos, so stay tuned!
Work completed so far
First and foremost, the car is the GT model...
Hi all,
Bought myself a Type R bronze FN2 57 plate for £7.4k with only 24k miles on the clock! Full service history and in pristine condition. This is the first Type R i have ever owned and love the high revving and reliable engine! Fantastic car. Now how do i go about putting pics up?
