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?
premier edition, momo steering wheel, red carpets and privacy glass
Been doing 80 miles a day on b roads in the ATR, averaging 30 mpg. Quite impressed with that.
I want it! Same driving I do and I only get 40mpg from my miserable diesel.
I'll come have a look when you are ready to sell it!
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!
I fitted Jazz jets to my DC2, much better!
NathWraith You got some bad luck man
I have not been around the forum for a while.
After that ****ing Curb incident. I ended up without my DC2 from November 16 till day before new year !!!!
I ended up with cat D + 2.2k for fixing my ITR
15mph into hole in road(or drain) that was covered with water and doing extra 5 miles to get off the road with tyre off the rim:

Took me 6 days to get set of new wheels sprays lip and do mot and wheel alignment that was not off LOL.
Anyway for spare cash i got myself Tegiwa high flow cat
It finally completes my exhaust system. Mugen header->Tegiwa->spoon n1
Sounds awesome and i got MASSIVE gains oO Old cat had 170kkm on it and it was blocked to hell.
Vero good buy if someone does not want decat cos he will go deaf in hes car like myself
N1 is so loud that on track days in helmet i cant hear tyres giving up just exhaust. No wounder its rated 103db lol.

Doens't sound like fun.
I wouldn't touch a Tegiwa Cat a mate had massive problems with his one causing the MOT emissions fail. And yes he and the garage knew they had to be up to temp.
As soon as it was changed, flying colours through the MOT.

Well my mate is mot tester and he used to drive ukdm DC2 himself
He was like **** this **** man just put dcat on it i pass you anyway hehe. But once you do 100+ miles with N1 you dont want it to get louder thrust me
I still have standard cat that 'barely' passes mot anyway its so worn lolz. I can drop that in anyway for free at my mates if i need it lolz.
Next thing will be probably ODYSSEY PC680 battery
With kill switch.
Since I drive itr 2 times a week battery dies all the time. I got allot of static power drain --> car alarm with them motion sensors, car stereo + amp, Defi dials ect. And for last few weeks i just keep my negative terminal off the battery.
But for 110f i can get one of those and shave 6kgs off the car. And that is as much as you save on carbon **** lolz.
ps. -Ad----> Jazz jets i need to get some !!! Got myself 40f wipers some better jets would be good
Ps2. Since last mot in April till one in January my itr done 1834km barely driven lolz.

Just been Honda to confirm the Timing Chain is stretched and get my Valve clearances done. They also give you a nice form of whats wrong and how much to fix all the issues.
So..
Timing Chain
Valve Clearances
Clutch
Rear Brake light
Window Wipers
Two front tyres
Both rear suspension droplinks
Total Cost = £1805 I feel for the people who don't do any Car mechanics at all or those who don't shop around.
No, Honda won't be doing all of that.

Nah thats expensive lol.
Are you in the midlands? For example Area Motorsport/Brosport charge 55 quid for valve clearances, Tegiwa even cheaper @ £47.
I'd contact those 2 for a quote, would be far cheaper
Yup, regretting the decision now. I just wanted something done whilst the car was at Honda all day and me at work. For the rest of the issues,
I'll be buying the parts and hopefully fitting; all apart from the timing chain unless my dad knows how to go about fitting it.

someone got a bargain there!
My thoughts exactly. I paid 12k for mine a couple of years ago
Looks in good nick though. Most 3k EP3's I've seen are wrecks.
