What hardtop is this then:



and where do i get one?
That's the Mugen one I think.

Was it the FRP or were you brave enough to paint a CF one?

Looks really nice, shame we don't have that colour over here.

Thing I can't remember seeing in the article or not is how many hours labour it was, whether this be time working on it yourself or out with 3rd parties.

Any ideas anyone?

Thank you all for the compliments. To answer some questions:

The top is a FRP Mugen top painted. "Shed load" of money would have been the CF, but harder to sell if needed.

The blue vehicle in the background is a Supercharged 2000 Civic Si with the "titanuim fiber" front. (I dont dig it, but it IS pretty spectacular in person. More infohere:

More current images here:

Sorry for the tasteless "booty shots".

Time went into the car? I really have no idea...but I ended up putting carpet in my garage because I was ALWAYS under the car...worse yet, ALONE!


PS: Dreamer, we need more cool women like you on THIS side of the pond...

Oh yeah, not to boast or anything, but wanted to share...

Further adjustments to the AEM ECU, different injectors and Spearco aftercooler radiator with fresh air intake produced 327hp and 199 ft/lb tq. A few runs were around the 340 mark but was concerned as it was WAY too lean for durability...
