Type R and VTEC owners

They are good cars and you get a lot for your money now. Any plans for it? Were you not tempted to spend a little extra and get a later model with a diff?

Not surprised by the front end, most Honda's have really thin paint. Keep on top of the red to keep it red.
 
FN2 has more of a growl to it, EP3 is more of a howl, mainly due to different intake styles and VTEC point. End of the day it's nigh on the same engine so bang on the same intake and they'll sound very similar.

Really enjoying the FK2R, it's everything I want the FN2 to be, I've only tweaked a few bits but I know when ECU is properly unlocked then 400/400 will likely follow.

Standard clutches are no good after 380 bhp, and there's rumours going around that the cooling system in use on the car is at its limit.

company in Harworth near doncaster called RDT, race dyno tuning, they specialize in Honda's and seem to know what they are doing. Im absolutely crapping myself that something wont be right/go wrong lol

Not heard of him, hope it goes well.

There are some well regarded tuners on forums who are quite frankly not very good.
 
A few mates have or have had GTR's, very mixed reviews. Those who have had Evo's have told me not to bother as Evo's are meant to be more fun and the GTR running costs are insane.
 
They may have offered that online however you won't get near that once they inspect it. Every minor mark will be picked up and will reduce the price.

Even so, all things considered I'd not be losing much on it. I can't see them taking more than £1000 off it for a few stone chips and a bit of a scuffed alloy!

You'd be surprised! It's a free appointment, so it's worth going. I sold my old Accord diesel to WBAC, I didn't get what I wanted however I knew that they just don't sell quickly so I took their offer.
 
Hard work but manageable if you drive to the conditions.

They are not a 'get in and drive' car unless it's a warm day and dry roads, even then you have to have your wits about it.

Mine was probably the most rewarding car I've ever driven except perhaps the Caterham 7 I had a go in at Milbrook, which isn't really a fair comparison.

Have a Typhoon on mine and it sounds great. Not sure about heat soak, everyone mentions it but never backs it up with any graphs or facts that it actually affects engine performance. I certainly can't notice any difference even when it's baking hot.

Peronally I think the term heat soak is over used when talking about intake temps and often misued. Heat soak is meant to be a borader term, any compenent that gets too hot can affect performace.

A lot of people have logged intake temps using KPro, the open cone filters in the engine bay consistently run hotter than closed box equivalents or the AEM CAI.

There's a reason why pretty much every manufacturer and race teams uses a closed box system for intake systems, not just limited to noise.
