Are they standard lights?
The rear lights on the facelift CTRs are Lexus-esque, I don't care for them personally but I don't have to look at them when I'm driving. I have a HID conversion up front so as long as I can see where I'm going them I'm happy ;)

Cheers, there's a ton more here for anyone that's interested. We went from St Moritz to the Stelvio Pass and then right back across Switzerland to Chamonix in a day - and this was avoiding all the main roads and taking in as many passes as we could. Best day of driving in my life by far.

You're right though, although I reckon a 360 Stradale would be a lot more fun! To be fair though the Quaife diff really comes into it's own on these roads, and my geometry setup and rear JDM sway bar go a long way towards creating a much more neutral chassis so it's pretty well suited to this type of terrain.

lol, fair enough yeah s2k is deffo a downhill car. Without wanting to sound like too much of an ID fanboy, my uphill car of choice would be an FD RX7, powerful AND agile.
MR cars are good and well but you aount gonna be drifting the hairpins in one of those unless of course you are some kind of uber driver.

Well I can't beat evilowl's list of mods on my "Sister" car (2004 ctr black - fastest colour) but I can enjoy it as much i'm sure :)

All you need is a non-standard airbox to enjoy the VTEC sound which is what this thread is all about, right?

Yeah thats what it's all about really, one of the best production gearboxes and an 8200rpm limiter!

Yep - although mine sounds more like a Tie Fighter these days lol. What airbox did you go for?

Oh and mine's never that clean lol.

It's a pipercross open cone air filter bought by the previous owner. I know it isn't regarded as the best by any means (yeah, that'd be yours!) but it has got to be one of the loudest which is suprisingly fun.
