I’ve had two fk2’s and neither of them had any issues , I’ve had the fk8 nearly 6 months and yes , that had the issue I had been reading about before I took the plunge, that has been dealt with quickly and efficiently by Honda and Touch wood no other problems exist.
I dare say you don’t see many about due to the fk2 being built in limited numbers and the fk8 being over £30k
When I sold my first fk2 I needed a stop gap car before the fk8 was arriving , I had preordered - but cancelled after ironically reading about g/box issues from our friends over the pond. So i bought an Fn2 , which after coming out of an fk2 was the biggest anti climax one could experience.....
Which left me in a quandary , I wasn’t going to get an fk8 because of gearbox issues , so I bought another fk2 - but then Honda invited a select few of us to go and experience the fk8 at rockingham. It was there that I realised how good a car it was , so then decided i would after all get an fk8, but after seeing them all lined up at the event I attended , I decided it had to be a white one , and the rest is history.
The pic of Matt Neal is from said day and my go pro, but his facial expressions make for good meme’s from the absolute trash I read on social media and forums these days.
I still like the ep3 but for me my days with NA Honda have bitten the dust. They are simply too slow out of the box these days. Unless the car is prepped well for track , but then if you use it daily is becomes a chore for daily duties.
