My 02 Civic Type R *warning contains non Swedish content*

[Biff]

Hi guys, thought I'd post an up date on the ctr. Had it a month now & put about a 1000 miles on it, it's had a full service with a HKS hybrid oil filter & 5w 40 fully synthetic Castrol Edge oil.
I've replaced the drain pipe cat back sportex exhaust with a standard system but removed the mid box so it's not too quiet!
I swapped the Tyres for my toyo t1's off the bullion, put osram silvertec bulbs in the front indicators & side repeaters, led bulbs in my sidelights & number plate lights & given it a bloody good polish.
After a bit of a scare we thought we were having twins but after a scan it turns out we have just the one snuggled up in there..... Looks like the mods are on hold but after a month I'm pretty confident the civic will be staying with us. It uses hardly any oil & will be spot on for our needs.
Just got to persuade the wife to get rid of her Ibiza!!!
Anyway the pics, sorry I've been distant but I'm working very long hours down in oxford & I just don't get chance to go on the forums much. 8)

Another volvo mate! Lol
As much as I like it I really miss my v70r so the plan is to replace the mrs car with a volvo 855 or ph1 v70 at some point & she can have the ctr. I will make sure the next volvo hasn't been to the moon & back.
The only fault mine has had was a map sensor which was an easy fix & a noisey wheel bearing which again wasn't much hassle.

Nice ricer

congrats on the little'un, haven't you been trying for some time or am I thinking of someone else?

Looks a tidy motor mate. Never driven one but I'd imagine quite the go-kart!

Perfect replacement for an Ibiza

[graemewelch]

nice little motor that will never let you down. looks nice to. cant help but notice the pulsar parked next to you though

[cherry1809]

I have a soft spot for Civics, especially the EE9.
I have got a hard spot for the Pulsar though. If I could handle the breakdown's I'd have one in a heartbeat. Brutal little cars

[gwrt5]

Great little cars I think , looked at a good few as a track car , get a decent one they go on for ever

[Biff]

My plan is to keep the civic & turn it into a track toy in a good few years. It is ideal for the mrs & once little un is a few years old I'll make it my toy. it go's well, not sure I've got balls to take it as fast as I did the volvo as it just doesn't have the weight. It's great on the local B roads & apparently I had it cocking a wheel around a local roundabout which would be a turn up in a volvo.
The brakes are poor after being spoilt with the brakes on the bullion.

Yes martin we've been trying for 3 years so as you can guess we're very happy!

[M-R-P]

Congrats mate, let me know if you need me to "pop round" again lol

[Biff]

By the way the pulsar is 330bhp & not shy. It has a paddle clutch & the chocolate gearbox has recently been rebuilt. I can confirm it's very hairy at 135 chasing an f430 down the a5.

Congrats mate, let me know if you need me to "pop round" again lol

Lmao. Sorry martin but I have photographic evidence that it was me this time.
How many people have pictures of the conception? Lol

[martybelfastt5]

civic looks well and a hoot to drive! comfort levels are low tho lol

[stribo]

Do you keep a book in the car you can read whilst you're waiting for it to come on cam?

[jamesy12345]

Sorry, couldn't resist

Looks clean, mate, very nice

edit:

Must have been half asleep when I read this the first time - good effort sir

Lmao. Sorry martin but I have photographic evidence that it was me this time.

It has a lightened flywheel & had it's head skimmed, it revs quicker & stays in vtec once it gets there. I wouldn't say it's any worse than the lag on the volvo.
Don't hate me for saying it but it would nail my volvo on 90% of everyday driving.
Oh & yeah Marty the comfort levels are very low, the switches feel like they will break at any moment & it has no sunroof which I really miss!
Thanks jamesy, can't wait to meet baby biff.
