Civic Type R, the proper one...

FD2.

My search skills are weak; I just can not find feasible CO2 data on this car. :mad:

Litchfield Imports site suggests 200g/km which I suspect is a small fib.

Also, whilst I'm at it - dont suppose anyone here has driven said torqueless wonder?

Should be pretty much identical to the DC5, no?

nicRob · 3 Mar 2009 at 21:43

Not driven one, but been in one around Silverstone...felt very good from the passenger seat, lsd helped pull the front in through corners, and the back was always edging around to help too

Maybe this helps?

I'd tend to agree, but I want rock solid confirmation of precisely what Gordon will want to take from me before I bother getting excited about a test drive.

Is it not SVA'd therefore it doesnt matter?

Kind of, cheers

It appears it's a case of looking at the V5 of the car in question, that's gonna be fun..... :rolleyes:

ESVA nowadays, they're tested properly I'm afraid.

212g/km i think

That figure rings a bell... UK EP3?

You need an SVA if the car's less than 10 years old don't you?

i fail.

However it should be the same if not +/- a few grams....they use the same engine, the FD just uses a k20z with the lame-o drive-by-wire if I recall correctly.

I recall with the DC5 - different owners had different CO2 readings on their
V5's. Some owners used low CO2 readings as selling points - cheaper tax than others on the market.

I'm interested in one, but I don't want one with a silly CO2 figure on the V5.

How do you get from a 320d Touring to an FD2? What's happened?

loltim · 3 Mar 2009 at 21:58

Do you need 4 doors then? DC5's look better, interior and exterior.

Does it really matter than much in the grand scale?

Something happened at work that means I might not be doing mega mileage any more. If that turns out to be the case then quite frankly the BMW can **** right off.

Dunno, at 40% I guess so?

I need to play around with one of the tax calculator thingies but I need the CO2 and also need to understand what hmrc mean by notional value as there's no UK OTR price for these things.

Need - no, prefer - yes.

Fox is gonna love you...

So you're going from a diesel passat to an FD2, and Jonny has gone from a DC2 to a Honda Insight... It's a MINT advert just waiting to happen...
