FN2 is a modern looking hot hatch with a proper engine. NA awesomeness without a blower to help it along. Tyres couldnt have gone on a better car

They could have gone on an NSX, that is a better car.

Gutted about the car Nath. Hope you can get it sorted quickly! Really hate people like that.

I'm still waiting for the parts I need to get my ATR sorted. Have been driving it, but not a lot as of late. I need new tyres too as my front ones are almost near the limit.

What can anyone recommend for 215/45/17 tyre size? I want something which have good grip/hard compound.

Washer jets have stopped working again, there's water in the bottle and I can hear the pump but no ejaculation :mad:

Jonnycoupe · 8 Feb 2013 at 15:31

Get them off and reverse flow/soak in a sink?

Jazz washer jets seems to be in demand as retro fit as they offer a wide fan of fine mist rather than a jet!

Relentless81 · 8 Feb 2013 at 15:36

I think they are blocked as one has gotten weaker and weaker then they stopped and started working again

I'll take it out at weekend and clean it out properly apparently there is a filter somewhere that gets blocked up

Cheers mate.

Bridgestone Potenza RE070 in 225/45/17 were around £90 on camskill, unsure if they do 215/45/17 though

Of course, if you've money to burn, this low-mileage facelift with Mountune's full-fat 200hp kit and a plethora of other upgrades should be a hoot.

*edit, after checking it appears the reg is the same.
new buyer must not have liked it.

He had a change of circumstances and had to sell, it is the same.

Will · 8 Feb 2013 at 17:42

Yep thats my old fiesta! Nice to see it picked out as a good example, hope it helps the guy sell it as he is a decent bloke. As killer says, his circumstances changed so he's having to sell his 'fun' car.

Guys, need some advice...

In the past 6 months Ive had a MK5 Golf R32 and then a 2005 Subaru Impreza STI. Both great cars but never scratched an itch I had. I used to own an EP3 Type-R and have fond memories of ragging its well handling, high revving little N/A ass off. Im also beginning to realise that I dont want my money all tied up in cars after nearly buying a £15K Audi S3.

Questions;

Good low miler EP3 or should I also check out the FN2? Im setting myself a budget of £4-8K. I keep reading of rusty doors on the FN2 and how they lack the handling and shove of VTEC changeover. I loved my Gruppe M setup on the old EP3, no torque whatsoever but it FELT fast.

Opinions?

Relentless81 · 8 Feb 2013 at 20:10

You can get a nice FN2 for around £7k now, I'd probably let mine go for around £7500 if the cash was flashed

Noxia · 8 Feb 2013 at 20:12

Have to drive one really, words don't help much.

oHUTCHYo · 8 Feb 2013 at 20:15

Im going to view two FN2 tomorrow and blag a test drive. I know enough to go for the GT model for the extras. Anything else to consider? Best colour - red or black?

I sworn never to have another red car after my Milano EP3, it always looked pink/orange in certain sunlight. Has to be Nighthawk Black on the EP3.

On the premium edition EP3, was the only difference the Recaro seats?
