Done 25,000 miles in it and bought some tyres, brake pads and a battery.

Pro's - Cheap to run, vtec goes bwaaaaaah!

Cons - Hard ride.

Took it for it's second service in my ownership today. I can't recommend the guys and girls at TGM Sport Racing enough. Really helpful and polite, lend you a car if you need one and the workmanship and price are all spot on.

Here's to another 6 months and 12,500 miles. I really do love my TypeR.

Nice motor mate.

I wish I could justify buying one to the wife.

I was helping a mate run a rolling road day today and figured while I was there and he the RR set up to run FWD cars it would be rude not.

Made pretty much book power so that's fine by me.

Nick's Dyno is pretty pessimistic. An Integra TypeR that ran before me pulled 165bhp and they're supposed to be 220bhp at the fly. Makes me feel even better that the MX5 pulls 185bhp on those rollers. :)
