Been meaning to do one of these for a while but never got round to it so here goes
Ended up back in a CTR in November when I bought this off a forum member on ctroc
SPEC
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
Anyway this is how it looked when I collected it
tbf I havent done much myself so far just done a bit of shopping and enjoyed driving it 
Took this off as I was paranoid about it
Put this on
Still needs a bit more of a fettle so it sits straighter
Also bought this to put on with an OEM back box
As spec 4, decat, DC header is a bit too loud for me :shock:
ie

Just need to find somewhere that sells a 2.5inch gasket and some bolts as the spec 4 fits differently as you can see here
Also got these to fit, Ebay bargin ftw
Should sit like so when on
Popped these on the other day too as the oem ones were squeaky feckers
Only downside is that the car is suffering from milano pink syndrome  currently weighing up paint but not sure if I want to splash the dosh. In the mean time I gave it a clay, polish and wax to atleast make is glossy even if its like a colour chart :roll:
Removed the JRSC badges whilst I was there for under cover mode :twisted:
Will take some proper pics once the springs etc are on

I had a facelift before and thought that but the old ones have grown on me. Subtle drop and I think the less clutered front looks good

Right dispite a stinking cold the weather was too nice to not get on with fitting my springs so I manned up and did it 
Springs from egay
was going to help update one of the how to guides on another forum so here are a couple of snaps anyway
first off get generous with the WD40
out with old
in with new
Fronts
If anyone knows how to get the track rods off without busting the boot let me know :bad-words:
So need to buy a set of these asap
Before
After
Ignore the hellaflush camber as I need to take it for a geo setup asap
Has had the camber arms set for the TGM settings on standard springs so now its on these its got a fair bit more 
Once ive washed it I will go and take some proper pics

Geometry now been setup, Drives epic now
turn in is sharper, bit more weighty steering and seems nice and stable
TGM and TDI were both fully booked up and I needed it done asap as I had but everything well out and it felt quite horrible to drive and unsafe
So took my print out from what is was before to elite in rainham.
They are a bit on the expensive side but were really helpful and spent a good couple of hours setting it up nice.
Will upload graphs in a bit

Heres what it was set to
Old settings from a couple of years back
What it was when I arrived after I had pulled it apart and reassembled
What I have now
Nothing special just nice and even and gives a smooth stable ride. Im going to drive it for a bit and take it to castle coombe in april and may add a little more rear camber if I think it needs it after then.
Well happy with how it drives at the moment though its like a new car, although that maybe because the geo was so out on the way up there
Impressed how close I got the camber when I put the bolts back in by eye though

Some slightly better pics after a clean
Gave it a clay, polish and wax using the megs kit that I had.
Still faded but at least its shiney and smooth now
Wasnt really anywhere to go decent for pics so just rolled down the front to the sea front
Even polished up the exhaust
If I remember I will take a picture of it on level ground at work tomorow to show how it sits properly
Well now I am happy with how it drives the only things left to do are cosmetic
Wheels need attention
Do I refurb?
Or buy some rota's?
Also The paint is unfortunatly in a bad state of fade and has a few chips. Dont know if to sort this or leave it. As I like to use my cars and there is no point if its only going to chip again :sad: unless I can get a thicker coat or something put on. just the roads round here are terrible and I know at least 4 of the big uns on the front are from the time I have owned it

Nope and still hi comp so pritty plug and play. On road the temps are never any higher then standard. Couple of people running them as pure track setups have added coolers but even then its not 100% needed
