Indeed. But I can't get it there for a couple of weeks yet.
I have 3 litres of Honda MTF-3 on order via Ebay. £32 delivered from Holdcroft
I also went for a new Gear Gaitor, as the cheap material Honda make theirs from is just awful. Fake Leather :\ and it has started to show its age. I looked at this, was very tempted by this one in Alcantara! , but ended up going for this one!.
The standard one has a 'Perforated' appearance, but isn't actually perforated...

Good boy, good boy.

I noticed the one in the car was a bit tatty when Gibbo took me out in it.
cant be helped sadly as the two FN2s that I drove when I was car hunting both had tatty gaiters
I thin kthe one you've gone for looks nice as it is close to OEM quality from the pics.
agreed, but I don't have enough for a second mortgage and yours was a steal!

Honda dealer should do a change for not much more including the oil.
£37 for 2 litres.

For a Civic thats bloody quick!
His driving though is superb, his lines seem perfect and he seems to have lightning reactions, but this is more impressive:-
Best lap of the ring without traffic - 7:57, amazing when you consider a Type-R's book time is 8:47, obviously a stock car on road tyres of course, wheras this chap is running a fully track prepared Civic, but still the driver is the biggest part in a fast lap of the ring and that boy can drive.
A quick car, a very quick driver and I imagine mega bucks spent.
the FN2 is on 18s right at stock?
does it feel on driving (I'mhoping to get a test drive next week) a bit on the tops of its toes ?
my wifes Type-S - 2005 - seems to have much stiffer suspension than my 1.8 VTI (although not as stiff as a Type-R I'm sure) - and is on 17s (standard - option) - it corners very flat - but it doesn't feel as connected to the road - if that makes sense
it feels a bit on tippy-toes
the VTI - running same make/manufacturer of tyres has much more body roll (not good) BUT feels much more connected to the road
