Nice purchase mate. LSD is a nice addition as well.

Believe LSD is standard on the later GT models because Honda knew it needed sorting!!!
I love the interior on these... so much of an improvement over the ep3/ek9! I'd happily have one knowing that they maybe a little slower around a track than an ep3/ek9!

also love the bonnet bulge, never noticed that on them before.
They certainly divide opinion, if nothing else!
I shopped around a bit for the CTR to make sure that I got all the post facelift goodies such as iPod connectivity and LSD - I plan to keep this car for more than a few months this time round, so tried my hardest to get the 'right' one!
The Interior IS awesome, it's one of the reasons I went Civic in the first place.

Yer but drive one with this and it feels alot more then that, mid range where it needs it is massivly different!
Looks lovely mate. I had a shot of a champ white one on a 60 plate and really liked it. Iterior is light years ahead of mine. Also the clarkson stuff about them not handling is massivly over done especially with the diff on board. Cant really compare it to mine as its not standard but felt very good

Aye, I've had a bottle of triplewax in my cupboard for years so wanted to get it used! Got some Meguiars stuff for next time though

Cheers Gavin, the CW ones are awesome - but I couldn't get the right one for the right money, and to be honest I was 50:50 with Red anyway, as it's awesome
Apparently the LSD is really, really worth having... but I wouldn't know, and I don't plan on throwing this thing around a track any time soon!

dont have to be throwing it round a track
Straight line traction and other things all benifit from them. best mod on mine imo
Red is good as they have sorted the fading problem that the older ones like mine have  unfortunatly it will probably still chip easy. Although as you have shown it looks awsome clean
