New F1 Team Edition owner...

[F1Team188]

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

Nice car mate! Looks the business! I wish mine had climate control

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?!

 

[F1Team188]

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.

They've recently gone up to 20quid for the pair I think, there should be ebay links on the thread as well.
