Hi all. Got a 2004 CTR, Nighthawk Black, three weeks ago, and feel I should take it fairly seriously - hence joining up.
The brakes seemed crappy when I first picked it up, so put some EBC Turbogroove discs and Yellowstuff pads on all four corners, but I can't say I'm impressed. The car stops... eventually. Might have to splash out for Brembo calipers and some proper discs.
Aside from that, Tanabe upper and lower struts are on the way, and I'm eyeing up Eibach or Tanabe coilovers.
I'm in two minds as to what to do about engine Modifications. As a first step, induction looks and sounds very impressive, but returns relatively little. I'm keen to keep the Vtec as reliable as possible throughout all this, and I'm aware that chipping can mean twice as much servicing, so I'm umming and arring.
Any tips for the best torque Modifications that cause the least amount of trouble on a Vtec?
Incidentally, why does the word filter turn the word "m o ds" into "Modifications", capitalised?
Cheers,
weaver
