Ctr

[z3lda]

how come the CTR doesnt have power windows? shouldnt they have power windows as standard cuz they are the top of the range civic?

Weight saving my friend! Only reason I can think of!

[genesis]

those are pictures of 1996 CTRs, i think the later 99/00 models had power windows

[JINRAI]

Dang...i think genesis could be right...heh

[z10]

civic type r released in late 97

and the the civic that zelda posted is a racing spec light weight version (no options)

[eknine]

z3lda ur pix are of 2 different CTR right? 99 spec and 98 spec respectively aye.

both are in race trim -> the non powered window screens and the non-SRS airbag steering wheel. nice;)

[^^v]

doesnt the 'R' in Type R mean Reduction or Reduce? (cant remember where i came across this info)

anywayz im pretty sure its for weight reduction... 0_o

[MKI4EVA]

Civic Type Ricer

[SiR]

'R' for 'Racing'

[ekslut]

Its the 'N1' spec I think? Like what Z10 said, its a lighter weight version of the CTR for track.

[Perry]

Hey sorry guys I'm just asking is the later model ctr look the same as the newer model (EK version) front bar wise?

[eknine]

are you trying to find out if the ek9 front bumper of 98specs looks like the 99specs?

if thats the question -> no:)

[Kit]

interestingly enough, the power windows module are lighter than manual winders! (well that is what MRT said when they were building their Rally civic anyway)

[Perry]

kool thanx "eknine" Do you have any of pics of the 2 models that i could see? thanx

hey, is that Civic Type R's site? Cos there's an error in "Standard Features"... wheels are 15" and no HID (ooh i wish :) )

anyways, just thought i'd add... the facelift model came along same time as the other facelifted civic models. i think power everything/airbags were standard apart from the racing specs. check this site out, has very good jdm model specs and history... http://www.j-garage.com/1310.htm

my door :)

yeah Vinh in fact you are right -> *good eye there*.... i wasn't reading when i hijacked the CTR pix...now that i have a read of the standard features...i think the whole standard features for the CTR belongs to the 98specs ITR.

nonetheless, on top of those that you have corrected -> the highlighted are the incorrect infos

Adjustable Steering Wheel, 16" Alloy Wheels, Central Locking, Momo Steering Wheel, Power Windows, HID Headlights, Rear Spoiler, Recaros, Build ID number in centre console (98+ onwards)

anyway i suppose Adam will see it soon to correct :lol:

Kool thanz dude, Just another question sorry if im being a pain asking too much question, has anyone on this forum u know try to change their EK1 & EK4 to EK9 ctr meaing interior and exterior wise and engine of course.

I'm kind of quarter the way there doing similiar looks wise at the moment.

[EK9]

i think the whole standard features for the CTR belongs to the 98specs ITR.
Hehe, i just realised that too after seeing the highlighted bits... the centre console Build ID gave it away :)

Perry, i think "Civic Type R" has done quite a few mods in his EK9 clone, hehe... can't remember exactly but i think he has some EK9 interior stuff as well as the usual body mods... except he has a Mugen kit... hmmm, contradicting myself there. i think "eknine" has too... rite? but i can't remember if i've seen you car Roy???

Anyways, if u really wanna c sum serious 'conversions', check out the US Honda forums... they're seriously into their jdm and ek9 stuff so plenty of references there.

[Civic Type R]

Yes that is my site and the page i wrote - using some information gathered from abroad. (referenced)
You will see all my mods in an upcoming HOT4's magazine. Its going to be shot for the magazine in a few days :)

Yes i am trying to update it but my pc is chucking spacs at me and keeps losing data. When i fix the problem, i will update those obvious errors.

Also, there are 3 versions of the EK Civic Type R.
Option 1. no power windows, no power options, no [acronym:c3d9dce3ac="Anti-lock Brake System"]ABS[/acronym:c3d9dce3ac], SRS. 1059kg
Option 2 power options, [acronym:c3d9dce3ac="Anti-lock Brake System"]ABS[/acronym:c3d9dce3ac] SRS. 1099kg
Option 3 Type Rx. Option 2 + better sounds system, retractable mirrors, alum foot pedals, keyless entry, double din stereo housing.

[Civic Type R]

Also it helps to have the genuine Japanese new car brochures (from dealer) for both the EK9 and the Type Rx with me too :)
If only i can read Japanese :)

[eknine]

Adam, thx for pointing out another defunct site...

here is the updated

[Perry]

does anyone know of where i can get the interiors for the ctr

[eknine]

does anyone know of where i can get the interiors for the ctr

you might wish to custom or if you are looking for oem, you did be better asking how much you gonna spend first:)

they don't come by easily and they come at a very dear rates as well:)

infact i was just talking to genesis abt the red floor carpets the other day and they were at an all time high of abt USD$285 exec shipping of course:)

[eknine]

anyhow if you are looking to change...u be looking at

1) red floor carpet
2) 5 piece floormats
3) hand brake cover
4) steering wheel
5) door armrest (the pix that ek9 show you, you can't just buy the red armrest, you have to get the whole thing)
6) the a/c panel (i do know i have one for sale)
7) cluster
8 ) shift boot
9) gear knob
10) recaros
11) rear seats

you'd need to change more if your interior is grey
1) the shift boot console
2) door sills covering
3) gees what ever is grey you need to replace...too much to mention:(

i'm sure the others will pipe in what i have missed:)

yes thats tru and thats what i have changed.. including:
12) flare
13) cluster carbon bezel - (instead of whole cluster as i have illuminated white dials)

and thats just my interior.
I am still trying to find a red door armrest tho :?

[Perry]

the a/c panel do you mean the centre console for the cd player is?

[Civic Type R]

yes.

and there are two types:
a single din version and:
a double din version

[Perry]

which 1 do have for sale eknine?

[Civic Type R]

... anyone got a set of red door arm rests for sale ?

[eknine]

which 1 do have for sale eknine?

the 98spec a/c panel. the single din ones...which looks like the same one that you have in ur ek, except its carbon and with civic type r clock block off...

[Perry]

kool ic so i asume u got the double din?, im kind of looking the double din, u might of any1 selling 1?

[Perry]

sorry i mean might know of any1 might b selling the double din?

[alan]

i would like a double din panel as well

[EK9]

infact i was just talking to genesis abt the red floor carpets the other day and they were at an all time high of abt USD$285 exec shipping of course:)
i've seen a set of ctr red floor mats for US$279 on a site!!! :shock:

[EK9]

daym!!! you've done all that? u sure are on a mission...

i want a flare too... i haven't got the little bracket either. know where to get it from??? cos on a US site i've seen it for US$40 and dat's brand new

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v417/ek9/Honda/flare.jpg

[tanghy]

it is a major pain to wire the double din into a single din equipped car

[eknine]

kool ic so i asume u got the double din?, im kind of looking the double din, u might of any1 selling 1?

i only have the single din for sale, i'm waiting for the right buyer to come along

anyhow, i recalled divus_honda has the double din for sale..
and tanghy is right -> its a PITA to have it wire up to work properly. It quite some work and if you are not doing it urself, it will cost alot as well :lol:

[eknine]

floor carpet USD$285
floor mat USD$279

these are an all time high in recent, well least they are keeping the trends and record up for CTR parts ......it a good thing issn't it? the market is on the roll again finally after a slumpy period and perhaps it could well be because of the start of an appreciated seasons :lol:



i want a flare too... i haven't got the little bracket either. know where to get it from??? cos on a US site i've seen it for US$40 and dat's brand new


vinh -> ask z10 or tanghy if they can get you a set :)

[Civic Type R]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v417/ek9/Honda/flare.jpg

[Perry]

[toE]

tsk, tsk, tsk! :P

[.::F[L]Y::.]

hondas tend to sacrfice abit of luxury for performance but overall im not complaining :)

[eknine]

yup your Mechanic can fit almost anything....and then comes the price tag of course. :D

well the navigator is cool, but that also means that he's probably running the jap's maps -> that unless, he uses the CD from some of the local cars with nav-controls :)

if ur pocket is deep anything is possible..coz australia is home to the custom builders :wink:
