CTR coupe / project ideas....
So I've got this Civic sitting here, and I'm thinking that I'd like to make it look as though Honda made a USDM Civic Type R coupe.
Here's what I wanna do: 1. Blue/white headlights 2. Flat black dash 3. Carbon fiber instrument panel 4. Black carpet 5. Type R seats 6. Type R body kit 7. Championship White paint (correct name?) 8. ITR rear wing 9. ITR engine swap (w/turbo later on, maybe) 10. 1999 red/white tail lights. I hate the amber crap on my '98 I don't want it to look ricey, so I'll probably refrain from putting big red Rs everywhere, but other than that I want the car to look "stock". Whatcha think? Any ideas? |

ditch the ITR if u plan to go turbo (not worth the money), either get a GSR, or LS for boost.

^agreed
If money isnt an object (and it doesnt appear to be) then go ahead...but a gsr turbo would be a better idea. |

Hmmm...speed isn't a *huge* issue here. I think I'd rather have the correct parts than just be fast. If I want fast, I'll learn to ride a motorcycle . Crap. I just realized that I forgot about suspension and wheels. This is going to get expensive.

TypeR boost is very limited if internals left stock. I think I'm pretty much sittin on the edge with 9 psi on a JDM ITR motor. Granted it pulls hard as shit, but I dont think it'll last long. I plan to build my internals, including sleeving, this winter....
