Well i've sold the Westfield after less than 2 weeks, served its purpose of getting me out of the Leon and made me a few bucks along the way.
Wanted something to use on a weekend or to go somewhere in, instead of pinching the Mrs' car all the time or taking the van. Considered all sorts of things, Clio Trophy, Focus Rs mk1, E46 M3, Dc5, Evo 7 etc etc. Settled on another Civic Type-R, last of the old shape '06 55plate Premier edition with Recaros, momo wheel, red carpets, privacy glass etc My old one was one of the first, #600 on the plaque, this one is #41171, previously owned an ITR as well #2452 Gonna make some changes to address some of the issues it's criticised for, more power/torque, lsd, suspension tweeks etc nothing drastic just to make it an epic b-road blaster! Anyway, a few pics below when i got back on saturday its filthy in the pics but gave it a once over on sunday and looks pretty good. I ordered a filter for it before i'd even bought it, fitted it as soon as i got it home

[Šįk]

Very nice!

Btw, I spotted u the other week going past The bp near piky camp! heading towards
linstock roundabout ,U were oncoming to me with your seat (profile pic car) on a trailer. Red jeep towing iirc :S I was in the LY182, not sure if u saw me tho :S

PSJ.

 

[JCC]

I like them. Nice loud induction setup is a must with Vtec, get a vid up of the noise if you can.

 

[Russ Rallye]

PSJ that was probably the guy who bought my Seat taking it home, he's from newcastle way so will have been heading for the A69. Not like i would have missed a LY 182 is it lol

[ABOO]

Looks ace mate. Premier is the one. Love that interior!!!

 

[Šįk]

Aahhh that will be it then. Gay lol. Were about in Carlisle r u? Sounds like u have a few tasty cars will u be attending the kirkbride drag strip event?

PSJ.

 

[Hazza]

Got any pics of ur leon cup car?... the ones u posted before don't work no more

 

[Russ Rallye]

Hazza, got loads on my pc but they're not hosted anywhere now.
PSJ currently live just outside Wigton but am moving back to Carlisle next week, might have a look at Kirkbride if the weather's nice, doubt i'll run the civic though, not really my cup of tea.

[Jamie]

Recaros look nice. Not fancy a JDM with LSD and 220bhp?

 

[Russ Rallye]

Jamie, all the cosmetic bits on the premier are from the jdm, red carpet, rear windows, recaros and momo wheel. Looking for a quaife lsd at the minute and with the few bits i've got on order will be 240-250bhp + some minor brake and suspension tweaks for road use and it'll be all set.
Russ

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

As per Jamies comment, did you not fancy a CW Ep3 with the LSD?

Lovley all the same

 

[Russ Rallye]

Nah, as per my comment above + jdm's are thin on the ground, over priced, dearer to insure and are the same car with a few tweaks thats mine is getting/has got anyway + dont like Chapionship Cream, had a Teg that colour already.
Russ

 

[Englebert]

They do nothing for me, but i like the interior on the special editions.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Jackson S/C?

I really do love them

 

[dynamique_g]

Good choice, the mods possible on them are endless, some good gains available for a N/a 2l engine, lots of ££ tho. Enjoy it, Just sold my milano :S

 

[Russ Rallye]

My previous one was milano, still around carlisle as well, had it seven years ago when it was about a year old.

[Šįk]

Fair doos! Will keep n eye out for the type-r!

Not fancy the local meet next month I'm organising? Will be some good b-road driving if u fancy it..?

PSJ.

 

[Dave138]

Great looking car mate. Have you joined one of the civic forums? I use:

http://www.civictype-r.co.uk/forum/

 

[Russ Rallye]

Dave, thanks for the tip, been a memeber on there since 15 march 2003! 'Russell T' is my username.
PSJ, might come along if you dont mind me turning up in the Megane/Civic as the Clio isn't going to be road worthy for a while yet. Might be good for a lad i know actually, he's looking to buy a Clio Sport so will give him a chance to have a look around some.
Russ

 

[Šįk]

Yea mate ur more than welcome, come in whatever u like. and yea would be ideal for that guy to get to know what all the Clio Rs's are all about. Plus my cuzing might be coming in his 225 maby a bit of comp for u in ur 225 F1 if u come in that.

PSJ.

 

[chrispy.clio]

The V-tec on the new engines isnt at hardcore at on the old engines like the B16 thats in my mates CRX. The noise practly gets twice as loud when it kicks in, makes me smile

Nice car tho Russ, should be a beast with the mods you have planned

 

[Merk]

Nice car make, looks a lovely example.

Should've got cosmic grey though tbh

 

[Olliec]

Very nice, I have always liked these. Seats looks great.

 

[Leeshez]

Very nice.
