your CTR is looking good, just picked up one a few weeks ago and trying to figure out if I should mod mine.

I'd highly recommend it mate, you can get some really good gains from chucking a bit of money into it. The breathing is usually the first bit to do, so find yourself an induction kit and exhaust system including decat and you'll easily be pushing it up to around 220/225bhp.

Dear god, I hope your buddy club isn't as loud as the spec-2 I had, it gave me tinitus!!

Serious question (not trolling) do you find it hard to find the controls in amongst the stickers while driving?

Lol yeh it's pretty loud, although I've been told it is quiter than the spec 2. No it's not hard at all really, I pretty know where everything is without looking anyway so it doesn't really bother me.

Nice cabby you got there its a great colour too, kinda "incognito" - a wolf in sheeps clothing if you will, or at least IMO any way, it makes the cabby look all timid untill the v-tec kicks in yo, and you hand your opponents @$$ to him on a silver platter, its always been one of my favorite characteristics of the CTR, and although i would never do it myself, the stickerbombing looks good too, kinda fitting of the nature of the car, tha zort looks like the dogs danglies too literally! well don and keep up the good work, 2 thumbs up from me...

So it turns out I've not updated this in some time....so here's an update!

I got me some coilovers Big GriniscoStu:
They're second hand ones so weren't in the perfect condition I would have liked but for the price I paid I really can't complain!

This is them before I cleaned them up and put them on the car

[Image: 14CAAFCC-6808-41A5-822E-0CB6F303E459-646...6A0A84.jpg]

My step-dad and Posty doing all the work for me Big Grin

[Image: 748CB4C8-04DA-44EE-BB36-965E4BEFECBD-646...2FF751.jpg]

And the finished product (before and after shots). Not a massive drop but enough to make a nice subtle difference for now. I'll probably wind them down a bit more once I get some different wheels on to give it a nice stance.

[Image: 5048C18A-05BB-4FC2-82FF-DA1A23F2E541-646...170C28.jpg]


I've also given into being "scene" and purchased a completely pointless but very pretty tow hook for the back Big Grin So this is how she's currently looking and will more than likely be staying this way until after Christmas has been and gone so I can see what goodies Santa will bring me!
