New F1 Team Edition owner...

Hi guys!

I'm the proud owner of a red F1 Team Edition (188/500) and am loving it. Having come from an S2000 and previously an FN2 Type R I have to say I am impressed! Do miss the VTEC 'kick' though and the extra 1000RPM...

Car does suffer from a little steering wheel melt and some rear wheel corrosion/blistering, but other than that it's a peach! Loving the Recarros and cup chassis :thumbsup:

Had a Focal Bus 20 sub in the S2000 and unfortunately wasn't able to salvage the power cabling, but am looking to add this to the F1 with the standard headunit for now... any advice?

Anyway, I'm just here to say hello and look forward to the discussions!!

Si
 
welcome along, enjoy the car you have a very special little gem on your hands there!
 
Hi guys!
Thanks for the messages. Once it finally stops raining I'll take some decent photos but will upload the ones from the dealer's site soon.
I'm in Essex... seems like a very fitting car!! :thumbsup:
 
Here are some photos...

:welcome:mate.Nice looking motor you have there hope you enjoy it and the forum
 
:welcome: to the site.

Looks like a nice car you have there, these seem to be holding their price now.
 
Looks nice mate, we got a red R27 as well.:thumbsup:

First mod I'd say to do is loose the CLIO badge on the back tho, they look so much better without it. Hair dryer & dental floss worked for me..

Completely agree!

Did mine a couple of weeks ago. It looks much less fussy and the boot looks much smoother.

Here's a picture I took just after I'd cleaned it:

Hi Darren,

Yes, this is on my list of subtle mods... definitely will remove the Clio badge. Did the same on my Type R as there was no need for the word Civic!

May change to LED side lights also... any advice?

So what was included as standard on this model? And what does R27 stand for?!
 
Deadmau5 - agreed it looks better without the Clio badge!

Nice exhaust tips... trim or exhaust system? I'm tempted...
Had a Milltek on the TypeR and it was awesome.
