- HISTORY, STORY, EXPERIENCE, COMMENTS

Bought new in Nov 2020 to replace my previous car (JDM FD2-Honda Civic Type R) - registered in Singapore, 26-Jan-2021.
I'm the first and only owner. Car is a right-hand drive, UK-spec model. Serial number: R-38800
Ran it fully-stock on the streets for a while, all was good except for the fact that, mainly, the car seemingly runs hot easily. Hence, modding began to correct the car's weakness as well as giving it a slight power bump. Car made 292-WHP, after being tuned on just a PRL Intercooler and Intake, and with no exhaust modification. Smaller and wider 18-inch ADVAN GT wheels helped to save some weight, whilst allowing me to run wider 265-width tires for added mechanical grip. Bought the replica-Varis bonnet to experiment with having a vented bonnet to reduce heat soak. After a while, decided to just run with it. I kept all the stock parts I replaced.
Car has honestly seen some shit on the streets - from local Touges, B-Roads, to chasing after much other fast cars on local Expressways and Highways.
Car was also taken up to Sepang International Circuit, in KL, Malaysia, for a trackday in Aug 2022, where it achieved a 2:38:088 on a hot, 33-34 degree cel ambient temp, afternoon, in it's currently stated final set-up.
