The FN2 did 35.7 MPG avg on 160 mile trip yesterday down to London.

Not bad, was hoping for 36 Mpg though!

You bought a FN2? Thought you had the EP3 after the massive thread you made that went on for about 476 years?

Pics please

Love CTR's, great balance between performance and running costs imo.

Shilz, why would you fit an uprated clutch and lsd if you plan on selling the car?

Looks good though, what exhaust is that?

Typical Ctr driver mentality, with lack of any apparent logic

Also, stage 1 clutch, I presume it's turbo'd/supercharged and running with significantly increased power that has shredded the oem clutch

No big power here...

- Totally stock motor apart from the air filter and exhaust.

Not really sure on what to do really. The clutch definitely needs to be replaced so even if I do keep then it will last me a while longer.
Plus why not stick a stage 1 in for an upgrade which should last a bit for heavier right foot! There isn't much of a price different between OEM either...

Also going with the LSD as I had this bought months ago but wasn't sure on what I was doing with the car.

Really in 2 minds on what to do I love my Honda but keep looking at the 09 WRX's and love to own a turbo car for once. With that in mind Im currently saving for a house lol!

I think the monies going towards the house deposit and the Honda can get me through the next few years as its currently faultless apart from the clutch!

The exhaust is a Tegiwa Imports stainless steel cat-back!

Brentacre, £730 FC with protected NCB :eek:

Allowed any new mods bar power increase which is fine as that's already been done just don't get DoC as I'm not 25

Sky wanted £970 with the same underwriter!

Any recommended places in Stoke to get alloys refurbed and sprayed a darker grey colour?

Are you in year two of that now? If so are you going to put your NCB onto another car or get a normal policy?

Do the rear seats of a DC2 fold down flat? Has it got good load space, let's say, fit a mountain bike in and have the tailgate shut?

Rybo89 · 23 Oct 2012 at 20:27

Vita, you seen the yellow DC2 up on Autotrader? £3k.

Just seen it now. Looks good but 140k miles. That's a lot of mileage I'd want to know if the suspension has been redone. I'd love to have that right now but sadly don't have the funds for it. The price is reasonable imo. Never knew they did a yellow ukspec dc2.

Winter is coming, fingers crossed there are some bargain s2ks

There was one on AT for £2700~ yesterday!

Could be trick of the light but every panel looks a different shade of yellow.

Your right, the doors and the front bumper are a different shade. Could be fading but you never know.

Yup

Many reminders to take out a normal policy before the end of the 2yr period!!!

Bikes, sofas, Illegal familes!

The Vantegra does it all.

I thought Phoenix yellow was the 2000 JDM Type Rx colour, never available on UK cars.
