    FK8 Going stage 2 - thoughts?

    If I was you I’d forget the sports cat / decat. It really doesn’t need it. Better to spend your money on a good intake and intercooler. The reason you’ll need an intercooler is the more power / boost you run the quicker heat soak sets in. Yes you can get 400bhp without one but trust me if you...

    FK8 Hard Braking : Rear end instability

    Have the geometry checked. Sounds like the rear wheels may be toeing out. Had this on my old FN2 after a poor setup from a supposed specialist garage. Had the geo done on the FK8 and it was way out from factory (don’t ask me what it was as I’ve lost the sheet with the settings on). I’ve done...

    FK8 Front tyres - only 6k and done?!

    Unfortunately that tyre wear on the Conti’s is normal.

    Some nice vids. Out of interest where have you mounted your camera?

    FK8 600 miles in and gearbox concerns...

    Love Hartside pass. Cracking bit of road. Great scenery as well.

    FK8 Anyone running 255/30R20 or 255/35R20 tyres on the standard rims?

    I’ve gone for the PS4S 255/35 R20 and it’s the best thing I’ve done. Ride is more composed. Potholes that you hit by accident don’t hit the alloy. Speedo is about 1 mph out but still over reads (just by a smaller amount). I won’t hesitate to use this size again in the future. Added bonus that...

    FK8 Diskloks

    Small disk lock fits the FK8 fine.

    Well what can I say. No more modding. Repeat no more mods......lol One area the FK8 lacks is in the sound department. The exhaust is near silent. After seeing an offer on the book of face I purchased a Milltek part res exhaust. Got the exhaust fitted today. Sounds a lot better. Nice rumble at...

    Small update. After running with a full size wheel as a spare which took up the majority of boot space, I took the plunge and bought a space saver spare wheel kit. This kit supplies the wheel, tyre, jack etc but also replaces the whole false floor and isn't cheap (£460 from Honda). Tegiwa sell...

    Fast forward to last weekend when I used up some birthday money on a little present..... Compares nicely with my old FN2 :D

    FK8 Been a while since I've been on here to update this. Also been through a few cars. The GTC VXR went as the gearbox was getting really bad. Was only a matter of time before it needed a replacement. I had an Audi TT for 12 months that leaked like the titanic. Just got rid of a...

    Thanks. :) My mate has just bought a Z4 28i and that is quick enough. Really nice car. I would imagine the 35i to really shift. The VXR isn't that quick off the line but once moving it does pull quite well. Really needs either a bigger turbo or hybrid turbo to make the most of it.......

    Thanks. :) I would have loved to go down the forced induction route with the FN2 however it wasn't to be (if I had my time again that's the route I would take). I'd stuck to the n/a principle as that was what the car was all about. As I'd had the compression increased I couldn't just stick on...
