Official Rallye Red Type R Picture Thread

That’s awesome! I want a S2K so bad haha.

Yes I am running 255/35 with Perrin 27mm spacers, no drop at all. I do rub but it’s only on really significant dips in the road.

Ah, you are at stock height, with stock springs? Stock CTRs seem to sit a tad high in most pics. Maybe it's just the angle, but your ride height looks good.

A full inch drop is too much for me and it looks obvious the car was modded. A half-inch drop is just about perfect IMO, still can pass as stock and looks better. If you didn't tell me, I would have assumed you dropped it by a half-inch or so.

Thanks! Yeah the 35 sidewall with the spacers really clears the gap. Its about 1 finger for the front and just about 2 for the rear. I was going to get Swift springs but there was no further need after I did this set up.

Looks really good man, you've probably answered this a million times but what camera are you using?

Thanks. I'm using a Canon 5D MK2 with a first gen 24-70 2.8L

Best weekend to catch-up on necessary mods for current owners. I just found-out earlier today that my SGP just got loaded on the truck headed for its maiden voyage across the US to the West Coast. How I wish we had another 3-day weekend coming up!!

Hey it's the guy with the kid who's going to inherit his dad's Type R about 20 years from now!! That pic is going to go really nice in an office and still be sweet looking at it everyday as a proud father!!

I haven't got an ETA yet but I'm figuring since the drivers have a limit as to how many miles they're allowed to drive each day, it should be here no later than next Sat with the earliest Fri.

Can you imagine the 10th gen CTR 20 years from now?! I think it’ll age well

I think it will be a great classic car 20 years from now, much like the 1997 Acura Integra Type R's were. I wish I had a garage though to help protect it from the elements. Car cover can only go so far.

Gonna be the longest week for you but it’ll be worth it. Give us updates on the SGP Ctr forum with pix.

I agree! I too wish I had a garage but in the 16 months of ownership the paint hasn’t been bad, only the rock chips.

Yikes damn Rock Chips!! I hate those things flying out towards you, especially from truck with missing mudguards. Those things dish out rock chips like a ninja dishing out deadly throw stars!! Have you thought about getting PPF done but it's probably too late already unless they can make corrections to the damages on the hood before applying it?

The dealer I worked with offered me paint protection/interior care for 5 years.

Every 6 months, I can take it in and they will condition the interior upholstery, go over and fill in all of my paint chips from the rocks that get kicked up (clear coat over also) and detailed.

They said that a PPF doesn’t work with this package.
If interested, see if your dealer offers something similar!
