What a fantastic looking car!!
I've got a 2000MY Integra Type R which in terms of performance is pretty damned good, but (to me anyway) looks a little bland. This, however looks just perfect.
Good luck with the car - hope you have fun with it.
BTW do you intend to take it on a track - I've done one trackday in mine - had no idea how good a car it was until I tracked it - put it this way, the weakest link was definitely the driver ;-)
Regards,
tiggers.

WOW that looks pretty awesome...
..although with those front and rear bumpers being so large u need something on them to break up the whiteness IMO
dont get me wrong it still looks one hell of a car and a nice replacement for ur scooby
hopefully get to see it in the flesh soon.
happy motoring

Mate, I think this pretty much sums up your motor - 
That looks superb, and I can't wait to see it up close. We'll have to arrange our little drive some time soon!
It sounds and looks as though it was worth the wait. Enjoy matey!

Hi ya guys .. thanks for your posts...
I must say these cars are so much fun... don't get me wrong, my scooby was a very fun car to drive, but this feels like I am really involved in the car.. You have to work twice as hard and stay that little more focus on what you are doing with these babies... I love it..
D6ale.. yes, its an import..
Andy .. no mate won't be camping.. infact that weekend is a bit of a bitch, as on the saturday I have to drive to summerset to see inlaws .. then in the evening we are going to see Annabelles brother who lives near Birmingham.. so we are staying there the night and on Sunday I will go to Billing..
I will see you there...
BTW did you get my mail Re. my wedding mate???
Scotty boy, you will love it... you have to come for a ride in this thing... your scooby will trash mine but it is such a rush when driving it... plus you are so low it just feels like you are flying along...and when the big "V" kick's in, man what a rush.... and that exhaust... what a noise..... you think the Hiper is loud... you haven't heard nothing compared to this on full VTEC....it pops and bangs when changing gears in full VTEC... it needs flames......but thank god I have got the bung with it as on long trips it would do my head in
Hicky.. Yes I imported it from Iain...
Marcus .. thanks .. how you doing anyway??
I have taken a few more pics now the type R sticker is done and the sterio is in .. I still need my blanking plate for the whole below the sterio...
Well I am off to Holland tomorrow... so I will show the dutch what these beast can do
Mark
Thanks to Rob ... at very short noticed he fitted all my sounds... Pucker job mate... i'll be back

Mark, we'll arrange something during the week mate as I NEED to experience this motor!
Sounds like you are enjoying it already, and I hope the Dutch trip proved what you were hoping it would!

Your welcome... Give me a shout when you get the front speakers sorted and I'll do them "pit stop style" (you know what I mean)
Though I think the sound is pretty good already.
RB5286 The RB5's mine.

Hi mate, nice car. I'm sure this is the one I saw at Powerstation on thursday (if not then there are 2 going around with the exact same bumpers and wheels ) when they got it on the rollers after fitting the air-box (I was the one having the Brembos fitted to the green classic). Were you dissapointed that it only registered 189bhp on the rollers after changing the air-box? I was genuinely surprised that you actually lost power. The guy at PS said you've probably lost 20bhp with the exhaust and air-box. Not having a go at your car mate, it's bloody gorgeous, but I'm just interested in your thoughts about the power drop.
