Ended up selling mine for about £2k more than I paid for it brand new. Took it to We Buy Any Car - they knocked off £1k for stone chips on the front bumper and bonnet. Entering the same damage online beforehand only knocked off £650. Ended up selling to a local dealer for slightly more. It's...

Mine is now worth more than I paid for it brand new, 2.5 years and 12k miles ago. Instant sale via We Buy Any Car. Wasn't considering selling at all, but it really is tempting!

I was also surprised, and a little miffed given their service prices (hence looking at an independent this year). How do you order through the forum to get a discount?

Any more thoughts on this? Mine came with 0W20 new, then was changed to Shell Helix 5W30 by my Honda dealer at its first year service. I'm thinking about getting it serviced independently this year and going back to Honda 0W20, but wonder if a thicker oil will be better for track work.

This is true :lol: Standard Contis

We also have a crash bar right behind the bumper in that position sadly :(

The photographer there on the day was brilliant. Vids here (dry) and here (wet) for anyone interested!

Agreed I also have occasional issues shifting into 4th on track, or prolonged fast road drives. No issues with any other gears or during normal driving - it only seems to be when the car is very hot. Gearbox oil with a higher hot viscosity is a good suggestion, I know some in the US have...

So I did a track day at Donington this week. It was only 13 degrees C, but I was pushing the car hard and the temperature gauge didn't move at all. I seem to recall it increasing on cooler days rather than staying exactly the same, but I won't know for sure until I test it on a warmer day. In...

I had an FN2 for 2 years and thought it was an absolutely brilliant car. It was my daily drive, track car and road tripper - many miles covered and great memories made, I still miss it to be honest. I also thought the design was way ahead of its time: That being said, I bought a new FK8...

Sorry for the delay, I fitted this a few weeks ago but didn't get the chance to jump on here and talk about it. Fitment went well in the end, but it's not for the faint of heart. Main challenges: - Getting the bumper off wasn't easy. I initially tried to do it without lifting the car at all...

So I've gone ahead and ordered the following two parts from Cox Motor Parts: 71121-TGH-A51 - 2020 Front Grille 75701-TGH-A01 - 2017 Rear 'H' Badge (smaller badge - carryover part and fits the new grille) £163 for both including VAT and delivery. They came back with those part numbers without...

Is this definitely the right part number? It looks like the US version without holes for the parking sensors to me.

Yep, I'm always rolling around in 6th wherener there's almost no throttle required. It's the main reason DSG gets better fuel economy on paper. Most manuals don't end up in the higher gears around town!

Only seems to come on below 1000rpm for me.
