Afternoon all,
Just thought i would finally introduce myself as ive been lurking on here for a few months now.
After initially not being sold on the FK8 when i first saw the press photos i really fell in love with it when I saw the pictures Kamispeed posted up of a Black FK8 wearing some rather lovely wedssport wheels, at this point i was sold.
Then the hunt began for a CBP type r, this proved a lot harder than I had initially anticipated, with the market being flooded with red and white ones i was starting to think i wasn't going to be able to find the right black one within my budget. The one Wednesday afternoon whilst at work my phone pinged *Autotrader - New Vehicle listed matching your criteria* after already broadening my search to include all colours I thought it was going to be another notification for another red one listed for sale. But to my surprise it was 99% exactly what I was after with the only exception being it was a 4 hour round trip away, a little more mile’s than I initially wanted (14k, I wanted sub 10k) but it’s a weekend / track car and was a little under my budget so I wasn’t to fussed, as another bonus it was from a Honda main dealer.
Fast forward 10 days and here’s a picture of me picking it up.
Plans moving forward are to mildly modify it making it more capable on track but keeping the on road compliance so I can still use it as a weekend / family car as well.
I currently have a few bits in the garage waiting to be fitted ahead of my first track outing on the 15th April.
Wedssport RN05-M 18x9.5 ET36 Wheels
Yokohama AD08R 255/35/18 Tyres
Monster lug nuts and lockers
Swift Spec R Springs
Hardrace rear camber arms
Performance Friction PF08 front pads
Castrol SRF brake fluid
Mishimoto Intake kit
Spoon Duracon gearknob
Future plans include:
Eibach or Whiteline anti roll bars – still undecided which ones to go for
Oil Cooler – Probably greddy or may make a custom one
Exhaust – Either HKS Legamax or Remark Spec I
Intercooler – HKS
2 Piece front discs – Girodisc or the new project MU ones
Just for the fun of it heres a few of my old track cars ive built over the years
Honda Civic Type R EP3
Honda Civic Type R FN2
Renault Clio 172
