    Looking for good independent Honda garage in Yorkshire area

    Based on your willingness to travel to the right place I would highly recommend Motion Motorsport in Stoke on Trent https://motion-motorsport.co.uk/ I've used them on a number of occassions and they are fantastic.

    FK2 Exhaust

    Had a Scorpion resonated system on mine, made a nice difference in both note and volume without being too on top. Whilst neither brands are particularly high end Scorpion seems to be of better quality in terms of fit and finish over Milltek IMHO of course.

    FK2 FK2 general discussion

    Is there a parts catalogue available anywhere for the FK2 does anyone know? Also a service manual would be useful if one exists.

    BMW M2 competition

    Looks lovely that.

    Thinking of buying an FK2, have a few questions if ok.

    Having had and enjoyed various Honda's in the Type R guise in the past I moved to an M135i, which essentially boiled down to a rather uninspiring experience. Nice place to sit, but as you mention not the greatest of interiors and the boot was woefully small. Essentially just a 1 series with a...

    FK8 Brembo lacquer peel?

    Sadly I had exactly the same with the calipers on my FK2. Honda were simply not interested. The dealer did offer to repaint them but unfortunately the logistics of the process did't work so they are still in a sorry state.

    FK2 FK2 general discussion

    That's comforting to read as it's there that I purchased my FK2 last year and had it serviced under the Honda plan earlier this year.

    Problem viewing recent pages of threads

    It's doing the same thing for me tonight using Chrome. For example this thread https://type-r-owners.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?83980-FK2-general-discussion/page510 opens for me at page 510 I then click the link for page 511 and it just reloads 510.

    FK8 Hard Decision

    I haven't driven an FK8 but did test drive a Golf R whilst deciding on my FK2. For me the Civic just felt more responsive and gave more of a driving experience whereas the Golf, whilst very capable, felt numb in comparison. The boy racer in me did love the blip on downshift of the DSG box...

    FK8 Oil catch can

    That'd be interesting to know as I'm thinking of fitting one myself.

    FK8 Front brake discs - Brembo replacements

    They are a direct fit as far as I'm aware. Mine arrived the other day but the current ones on the car are good for a while yet. I just wanted to get a pair at a decent price in readiness.

    FK2 T valve mod

    I've done it purely as a precaution. It made no difference to the way it drives which is what I expected. I wouldn't bother messing about trying to do it without moving the scuttle panel as it's way too tight and given that the hose attachment to the inlet manifold is plastic it could easily be...

    FK8 Front brake discs - Brembo replacements

    Tegiwa had the 2020 discs for sale last week for £190 and then increased them to £200. Unfortunately the link is now dead so assume they have sold out - https://www.tegiwaimports.com/genuine-honda-2-piece-floating-front-brake-discs-civic-type-r-fk8.html I think I managed to get a pair before...
