Hi Guys
Had my S for a few months now and its awesome. Had a few honda's so far, a EP3 Civic Type R, a Integra Type R and a little CRX del sol.
It's a 1999 yellow JDM import on about 50k and has had a few things done to it in Japan:
17" SSR GT1 alloys, don't know much about these alloys but from research they appear to be quite good and reasonably expensive. Think they quite lightweight to. Anyone know anything about them?
Lowered suspension, no idea what type but its not to low and the ride is nice.
Exhaust system with Decat, was told on buying that its a Fujitsibo system but never been under to check it out, definitly not standard tho!
Got a few SARD racing bits and pieces under the bonnet, oil cap etc.

Slightly lighter than stock but weigh more once you add the wider tyres, offsets are a bit low (but the yanks like em that way) ..... and I sold them for ~

Kinda the first owner since import, the guy at the local import garage had imported it for himself to drive during the summer. He was telling me that he imports them each year and uses it till it sells. He wasn't going to sell me it as he had just got it in two weeks previously but he did and imported another one for himself!
