new tyres on the front of the S2000 today

the autoguard rubbish that was supplied... upon further inspection, one was a new tyre, the other was a part worn with one shoulder heavily worn.

sigh at honda garage.
if i didnt get the money knocked off for them, i would be massively annoyed.

Got another Type R today. Lol.

Milano Red FN2 GT with GP kit and 19" rage alloys. Pics tomorrow

Nice. First mod, get rid of the hideous rage 19's and get the OEM 18's.

You know what's surprising? It rides better than my other FN2 with oem 18"'s on it. I'm suspecting this car has after market springs on it as it seems a lot more comfortable even with 19" rages. :eek:

loltim · 30 Jan 2014 at 08:38

Wouldn't aftermarket springs make the ride firmer? Surprising indeed!

TaKeN · 30 Jan 2014 at 09:21

Eibach -15mm pro kit rides much much better than stock.

Noxia · 30 Jan 2014 at 09:26

I'm not infirm so the harsh ride doesn't bother me. I'm really beginning to resent this house buying stuff, if it falls through I'm getting something ridiculous.

worst type R, in the worst colour with the worst wheels

:cool:

Zeed · 30 Jan 2014 at 10:55

You said it

I dont think fn2 is proper R. Fd2 on other hand i love

Noxia · 30 Jan 2014 at 11:03

FD2 is nice but looks a bit of a barge, then again I don't really like saloons and if I did have one it would have to have a snail and push out a lot more than 240bhp.

I'm talking about the length of the car, I can't see weight. Also, a common trend I notice on all car threads, is that a lot of the for and against arguments are things that really would only apply on track, which of course is how everyone gets to work.

What TaKeN said. Will check the suspension in a bit.

Pfft. I think it looks quite nice but not a fan or rage's though.

Edit: Rage's are growing on me

Many people say changing springs on the fn2 gives a better ride. I have read that the stock springs are unusual in that they are linear springs, more the sort of thing you normally find on cheap coilovers. A change to a decent progressive spring brings around some considerable improvements.

I know my old car rode better on the mugen sports suspension kit (matched progressive springs and uprated dampers by sachs), despite being lower and less prone to roll.

Thanks for clarifying my point that it is longer

Although that is actually a lot shorter than what I thought.

I wasn't disputing your fact Noxia.

I'm just saying you are a girl for not dealing with the extra inches.
