here is a story from the UK type-r boards that really made me smile. check it out:
I have very recently taken delivery of my new CTR and have a problem that I hope someone could help me with.
I took delivery last weekend and got my insurance cover ok, but they stipulated that I have to park in the garage overnight.
Well I finally managed to get my garage cleaned out of all it's junk over the weekend and guess what?
MY CTR DOESN'T FIT !!! Arrrrrrgggghhhhh
Width wise it's fine, but it's the height which is causing me problems. I can get the car in and out but I have to lower the tyre pressures by 20psi to drop it about 35-40 mm.
Now obviously this is a very real pain in the butt
I know I should have measured up first but I just didn't think the CTR would be so high, what with it being a Type R and all.
I can't alter the garage as it's part of a listed building so I guess what I'm hoping to find out is if anyone has started producing lowering springs yet.
I'm looking at going 40-50mm just to be on the safe side as this should bring the CTR down to a more realistic height and hopefully I won't have to keep deflating / inflating my tyres.
Any ideas anyone?
Has anyone lowered theirs yet?
What effect do you think this will have on my warranty?
Other than this niggle, I am quite happy so far except it's not quite as quick as my old Teg.
Thanks in advance for your help
...i have to lower the tyre pressure...to fit in the garage!!
they must live in tiny tiny homes!
