R513CTR build thread 🇦🇺

[r513ctr]

Hey all,

Picked up my RR CTR a few months back now and have just started the build, car currently has 6xxxKM. The goal is to build a track ready daily driven car.

So far the the following has been done:

- Tein Mono Racing Coilovers
-Eibach adjustable rear upper control arms
- Hardrace front camber ball joints.
- CE28N Plus 18x10 +40 in OG bronze (BR)
- RE71RS 275/35R18
-GDevolpment titanium bolts through out the car, I'll be leaving some of the bolts factory but anything that isn't critical will be swapped.

Alignment and corner balancing has been done by Terrence at Trustalign (tezzasaurusrex on the forums).

I'll update the thread as I go, few things I'll be looking to be doing in the near future are some cooling mods, exhaust/downpipe & CAI plus a fluid flush and brake pad upgrade.

SInce you plan to track it, have you looked into rigid collars? Not many people consider them but they definitely help maintain your alignment under load.

Yeh it's something I'll eventually get to, probably should have done it when the suspension stuff was getting done but wasn't high on the priority list. I know alot of 90s Honda guys sware by them.

I have them on my car and the difference could be felt before I got on the street

how does the car feel after corner balancing? like the poster above me said, rigid collars would make the turning feel direct and solid. i have coils, rear motor mount, and rigid collars and this car feels so fast in the canyons. i feel super confident going into turns. next on my list are rear camber arms and corner balancing.

After the alignment/corner balancing the car feels amazing, have gone for a few hill runs and have had nothing but confidence in the car once the tyres are warm. I do need to adjust the rebound on the Tiens as it is a little too stiff ATM (currently 8 clicks from the hardest setting).

In regards to the rigid collars I have added them to the list but as of now I have other things I'm prioritising.

Camber specs on the rear?

Sorry for the lack of posts work has been flat out.

Car now has a Remark titanium exhaust system with Dream Automotive catless down pipe, Hondata has also been installed running a base map for the time being. I've also ordered a Voltex GT type 2 wing (12 month ETA ) as well as an Eventuri turbo pipe and CAI which should be here soon.

Engine and gear box fluids have been swapped to Motol, brake fluid has also been swapped to Endless. Front brake pads have been changed to Dixcel type Z though I'm not really a fan of them so may swap them out at a later date, Alplus titanium shims were installed with the pads.

See below for some sound clips.
