Best colour 
Not a fan of those wheels but it looks fantastic for an FN2

Thanks mate! They are the 19" Honda Rage wheels, I'm quite tempted to change them for something lighter but not sure what.

Yeah don't like them. The ride is harsh enough anyway without adding 19s into the mix!

Surprisingly the ride is very comfortable on this, probably because the car has HKS Legamax III coilovers fitted and I may just keep the wheels for now as the tyres are near enough new michelin pilot sport 3's, which again arn't cheap
Having had a few silver cars I've decided I hate them as they're just boring, but every clean silver FN2 has looked lovely and really suited it, must be the futuristic lines.
I followed a fellow Tangerine FK2 on Friday, not many around. Got a friendly nod as he passed me on the dual carraigeway.
Oh and this just popped up on my facebook feed. Chavvy, childish and right up my street: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=898858406793076

I really doubt that, if the dyno plot is genuine. The fun of VTEC has been stamped on and flattened out. It's certainly not an engine you would need to keep on the boil to extract decent performance out of.

I agree, I'm not overly keen on silver cars but in person the FN2 in silver looks fantastic, defiantly the lines.
You are correct, It's my preface silver EP3, also got Premier edition hiding behind the red fn2, behind the gates
Thing is though, I'm quite enjoying the way a supercharger delivers the power, there's no dips in power, it's available from any rpm and the boost holds all the way upto 8600rpm. Dont get me wrong, a standard type r is a fantastic car and the best thing about them is driving them hard and extracting the power out of them but I've owned so many EP3's and FN2's now, I got used to the power, I've even had modified ones, hell my last FN2 was 240bhp N/A but again I got used to the power and wanted more, this may only be 70bhp more than my last car but it's a completely different animal which has made me fall in love with an FN2 again, If I decide to charge cool the super charger and go for a smaller pulley, I can push it upto around 350-360 bhp
Thank you Kaptain, the drive is fantastic

That Civic looks awesome and plenty of grunt to match its appearance.
