First off I will try not to take this one to another country and kill it 
Decided that it was time to move on from the VTS and spotted this. wasnt really sure I wanted another CTR but this came up at a really good price and I couldnt turn it down 
Excuse the crap pics and dirty car but it was too icy to wash it and take proper ones 
The fleet
Leather
Low miles 
The important bit
Spec from the ad
Jackson Racing Super Charger with 8 psi upgrade (CPL Racing)
AEM CAI filter for Summer,
Gruppe M for Winter,
Honda Data K pro,
Buddy Club Spec 4 exhaust including DC Sports Race manifold & decat, DC Sports Race Exhaust spare,
650 injectors,
Quaife LSD
ClutchMasters Stage 3 clutch
New Brembo discs & Ferrodo pads up front, new standard discs & pads at the rear
Goodridge Brake lines all round.
Ebaich camber arms and bolts and TGM racing geo setup
300bhp or 285bhp depending on what map
And enough spares to fill my garage with now represents a honda garage
Also chucked this into the sale which I will be fitting asap as I loved the one on my old one
Completely differnt to drive to a standard one. Pulls hard in any gear above 3000 rpm and the way to 9k where it goes nuts 4th gear 60 to 100 is scary how quick it does it 
Plans
Sort the milano red paint as its milano pink in places
ebaich springs
Possibly back to standard engine not sure yet as I dont really think it needs this much power

its a very constant smooth power so is still nice and drivable just feel it could get me in trouble
Waving bye bye to a vxr that wanted to play games was fun though
