good luck with your lovely new grey car

take it easy on the CORNERS

check for...

- spacers
- full tank of petrol
- mats/mat hooks if ordered
- any other options if ordered
- locking wheel key for alloys

just the usual stuff for a new car.

enjoy!

i upgraded from a ctr too.

a red 02 plate with skunk2 exhaust, injen intake and mugen front grille - really liked the ctr - but i love the S

that other thread just now about the CTR being virtually as quick as the S is boring the pants off of me - mainly because it's the 3rd or 4th thread on the exact same subject in the past 6 months or so.

the S is just so much more that the CTR - yes it would be nice if there was a really noticveable speed difference but times change and the S is what it is - if a faster one comes out we'll all buy that but until then we can enjoy our cars for what they are - damn fine pieces of kit that make you smile whether going at 15mph or 150 mph.

you won't regret buying the S for a minute mate - i haven't.

Good work Psycho. Nice handle.

You certainly have the best looking shape. But the the poor vehicle will hark back to the original oldschool 01 vtec ecu cut in and harder geometry and ride.

Resulting in a more savage beast.
