Not sure yet tbh, may cancel but i am going to look at a CTR tomorrow to tie me over in the mean time which would do the job.

The Teg was still needing a Cambelt etc and the biggest thing that put me off was with it being a UK car the rear arches were beginning to rust which was never going to be a cheap fix but one i would want to do if i was keeping it :(

Anyway i ran it for 6 months, 3 or 4 track days, 6k and lost nothing including maintenance etc. :wink:

CTR will be newer, NO RUST! plus the plan is to run it until Christmas and hopefully do the same again. But yes you are right but i do plan on fitting a DC5 box for the diff and ratios :lol:

Anyway, picked up a Civic Type R last week......

Got a few bits planed for it mainly a full service, Carbotech's AX6's all round and some camber arms and bolts and maybe a set of Tein coilovers, so that little lot should allow me to set the geo up slightly more aggressively for Oulton on the 4th of August and the AMP3 day on the Friday 8)

:cheers

That looks in ace condition given it is one of the first ones made on a 51plate!

I still miss mine slightly, albeit they are now priced at a price that undesirables are able to get hold of them! Obviously not you!!

Mike - you need to rename this thread "Mike's cars 2009-2050(ish)" cos you realise you have to keep this thread updated throughout your car life now :D
