Not made up my mind on that wing yet. It looks so stupid from the back IMO as it's so mahoosive but from the side I think yeah that's cool. TBH it probably will happen. Then I got to work on the front end.

 

[TaKeN]

Do you have the fast road setup on your FN2 Noxia?

 

[Noxia]

Nay, I posted on here saying I did but that was premature as I cancelled. Might get some MeisterR coilovers though and have it done then

 

[TaKeN]

Howcome you cancelled? Do you think it's worth the money?

 

[Phil W]

My friend had ABP do a fast road set up on is DC5, he said afterwards it was immense!

 

[Noxia]

I cancelled because I decided rather than having it done on 15mm lowering springs, I'd prefer to save for coilovers and keep standard ride height.

Cheers Phil!

Fair enough! Can't see me messing with the suspension for a while. It's rough, but I was expecting that

Picking up my Mugen rear end tomorrow, much prefer the round exits to the triangle ones.

must say, i do prefer the mugen rear end on the FN2. it looks much better than stock.

tempted by a mugen wing for my ep3 in honesty.

do it Taken. its cheaper to get it done for an FN2 at ABP than it is for an EP3

indeed. I poo pooed it when MilanoChris suggested it in this thread but after getting the FRSU and my JDM bar, the difference is night and day. car is more planted at higher speeds, cornering feels precise and manageable, most of all the car feels a lot more predicable with its movement. and the feedback through the steering wheel is brilliant.
get a FRSU sorted as soon as you can. it is worth every penny.

put it this way, a few weeks ago i drove my dads boxter s, got in my civic the same day and the steering feedback was better. the porsche felt muted in comparison

There are a lot of good quality replicas about for EP3 if you're going down that route. I don't think the Mugen stuff is as expensive for EP3 (I presume due to the size) but it's still not a small purchase by most peoples standards!

Box was rather large, just managed to fit it in with the passenger seat pushed forward.

haha, awesome

I think I will go replica. seen one for £200 all in with painting so it may be on the agenda once the clutch is fitted

I don't see the point in getting a real one as resale would be awful and I only really want one to test out and see if I like it on the car if that makes sense.

I hear you. What I would say though is the Mugen stuff holds a high value at least with the 8th Gen anyway. Not seen a second hand wing go for less than £900, and airbox £700.
That said, there are not many if any good replicas for the bodyparts.

rjk..

Super cheap Honda clutches..

http://www.coxmotorparts.co.uk/

£161.64 delivered, inc vat!

 

[rjk]

got one already bledd.

£135 from honda.

the EP3 and FN2 clutch kit is the same part.

holdcroft are my local main dealer, so I called them, asked if i could have it at the ebay price. they agreed and sold me two bottles of MTF3 for £11 each also.

went and picked it up the other day.

a guy on CTRO says they ship via UPS next day too for free. not bad imho

 

[bledd]

This only saves a couple of quid, but the garages will let you take your own container and fill up say 3 litres of MTF3 from their 25L drums. It's about £6 a litre that way

£12 and a cheeky smile = 2.5 litres

 

[TaKeN]

Damn it. I paid £36 delivered for 3 litres of MTF-3 from holdcroft the other day!!!!

EDIT - Although in saying that.. It would have cost me a bomb to collect it

Car going into ABP Motorsport this thursday.

Service & Full FRSU £500ish. Oh eck!

Just fitted a low level boot spoiler, eBay job came painted for £60 delivered. Nothing but good reports on the s2ki. Quality and fit seems spot on. Now on the hunt for an AP2 OEM front lip.

Oh and if your wondering whats wrong with my ariel, some ***** stole the rubber covering for it : /

Took a few photos the other day when the weather was good.

 

[Clarkey]
