Have you hit any potholes? Could have a buckled wheel.

Its the turbo boost pressure in bar.

Never tried Momentum as I don't have a Tesco in my city believe it or not. Always been satisfield with the Vpower though.

I can't understand why they still haven't shown it off without it camoflage wrap.

Generic yank tank.

This is how it should be. Yours looks odd as it uses the US spelling with a “Z” customise. Very strange. It is a genuine FK2 I assume and not one of the replicas that are out in the wild? I know of a white one which has had a full conversion including engine etc but some things could have been...

Good they sorted it in the end. A new ECU is not a cheap fix though so good job you didn’t have to pay.

UK-003 now on sale in Hong Kong for £88,000! https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/12046492

I feel so bad for you and also for the next potential owner because it sounds like they want to refund you so they can sell on as is.

Wow thats a pretty bad repair job. I can't believe they would just hand it over and not say anything hoping you wouldn't notice.

Yeah I noticed the FK2 is missing.

No chance. You can get an FK2 for less than that.

The boot floor cover is GT models only.

I noticed the same issue in the FK2 chat thread. It says there are 511 pages but wont go beyond 510, its as if some posts have been deleted or something and the forum database hasn't updated to compensate. Using Firefox 79.0 as a browser which is the latest.

Yours must be a non GT model as that doesn’t.

September 2016 66 plate FK2 with 8330 miles on the clock.

It all seems very dodgy to me and 14k to repair was the estimate. The sad thing is someone will buy that without questioning it :o

That one was written off and the owner got paid out. There is a post on facebook about this exact car! STAY CLEAR!

Stood and looked at it through the window.

Nice colour :cool:

That civic doesn't have a standard exhaust.

I certainly don’t as I was on foot and my car is immaculate inside and will stay that way. :lol:

Car looked very clean, in fact I have just done my FK2 and made it rain! :lol: I missed you by a few minutes as I had just done 2 laps around with Chester the dog and was heading home. I'm usually working Tuesday mornings but I have a week off this week. I quite like the bacon sandwiches at the...

Did I see you driving in Wakefield this morning? A white 69 plate drove past me near Sandal Castle while I was walking the dog and it had silver aftermarket wheels like those. :cool:

Well I have a service plan so the service didnt cost anything and if flew through the mot also. Cost me a grand total of £45! I still need to chase Oliver though as he said that the printer was broken so I have no paperwork regarding the service. He said it would be in the post but nothing yet.

How kind of Harratts. :lol: mine is going in on Tuesday for service (under service plan) and it’s first MOT

There is a guy on one of the Facebook groups who has just had a head gasket failure. His is modified so couldn’t make a warranty claim. Apparently the replacement part is slightly different so Honda have obviously upgraded it.

The FK2 is a fairly rare car and will stand out a mile when out and about, 2 reasons why it will be much less of a target than the usual ST's Golf R's and Audi RS models. Faraday pouch is a must though as they are only a few quid and will stop someone boosting the signal to gain access to the car.

I have a dyno sheet from my bog standard EP3. 217hp

I guessed it was flying gato from the wheels he just put on. Oh well at least that door scratch doesn’t show up as bad now.

I sure do it’s [email protected] He can take a while to respond as some people have been waiting a while for a reply. He did sort me out very quickly though so no complaints from me.

The bolster protectors are from a Hungarian guy on Facebook called Zoltan Palla. Not cheap at £113 but pretty good quality. :smt023

Haven't updated this post as I'm not usually one for mods but I couldn't resist so I recently upgraded to the full Eventuri carbon sytem including the intake pipe. Makes a nice noise now. :cool: Also fitted the bolster protectors on the seats to try and prevent wear on them. Great quality and...

Same car on autotrader https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201902104802919 Clearly a U.K. car and those pictures look like they are taken in the U.K. too.

Quotemehappy.com £284 with Eventuri.

Best looking exhaust by far.

Mine is still low miles so it doesn't realy have any chips yet. If I did lots of motorway miles though like in my old EP3 then I'm sure it would have loads eventually. The Honda paint is soft and thin so it's difficult to avoid really.

Its Rudy who is Admin of the facebook group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/177983869309067/

Same here. The only thing that’s ever been in my boot is a 1 litre bottle of top up oil which is strapped securely to the left hand side. :p

In that case they can't blame it on mods and invalidate your warranty so I'm sure they will get you sorted.

Any mods?

He is advertising that in the Facebook groups for £23,500. Probably just chancing it on eBay to see if someone makes him an offer I guess.

Welcome to fk2 ownership.

There is this thing on eBay https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F152937738475

May as well leave it now as come the end of October if will be correct again ;)

I was going to suggest M2LOL but that seems to be on and automatic Jazz! :lol:

Strange how there are no videos showing the sound, no dyno graphs and no pictures of the bonnet shut. Just got my Eventuri btw and very happy with it for what its worth. :cool:

Not associated with TDI North in any way at all. This is just a generic map that is made to work with all fk8 cars. I would have thought it better to do a dyno tune like TDi North do because no two cars are the same. Bottom line is it probably works ok though if you want to take the risk.

Dotty has just done the Eventuri and HKS exhaust I believe.

Very nice but it needs a wash.

Quite shocking to hear this but at least they honoured the warranty. I see a guy on Facebook has not been so lucky in regards to his fk2.

Still never seen another FK2. I have seen 1 FK8 though but only once.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45lH73kbRVI

I have still yet to see another FK2 whilst I'm driving about. I have seen an 18 plate red FK8 though and I got a wave as he went the opposite way.

Sometimes regreasing the rack can help as they can dry up over time. My old ep3 always seemed to steer better in wet weather which I guess was because the rain water was lubricating the rack.

Check engine number too. JDM will be K20A and UK car will start with K20A2. Any pics of the car or the advert?”

I have heard of Fiestas being stolen with diskloks on as they just use angle grinders to remove them. Bottom line is if someone really wants your car they will go to any lengths to get it.

Stick a Hayabusa bike engine in it for epic fun.

I see it here. https://www.gumtree.com/p/honda/2.0-jdm-honda-civic-type-r-ep3/1290303031

Potholes must be really bad where you live.

I'm sure Dotty used to own this car a few years back.

Spotted my first FK8 today. 18 plate in red and looked pretty nice as it came towards me. The driver even gave me a wave as he passed so I gave him a wave back. First time I have ever seen another FK of any description on the road other than mine. :)

https://youtu.be/XGdF1jm987o

Epic garage.

Really suits that red addition. Never knew the FK8 had that option. :cool:

Welcome. Non GT I see, not many of those around.

:lol:

That carbon pack must have cost a bomb!

I have a SNES mini! Now I’m gonna try it on the fk2 :lol:

The usual wheels and ironing board wing then. ;)

:eek: Thats quite an impact. I hope nobody was hurt as that is the main thing.

September 2016 FK2 2400 miles

I bought a 3 month old demo model fk2 with less miles on than that.

The lane departure warning does this at 40mph or more but that should show a yellow wheel on the display.

I know photobucket is crap now and doesn't hotlink but I uploaded 2 pics of pizza boy photoing my car. http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Supes/media/F8E850AF-525C-48E9-A101-D225D46DF81D_zpsivh4tcqe.jpg.html?sort=3&o=1...

I had a pizza delivery guy actually reverse up my street so he could take pictures of my fk2. I returned the favour by taking pictures of him. He saw me then drove off with a thumbs up :lol:

Looking at his welcome thread pics it looks like his is a non GT so no camera.

No I meant that they dont come with the handles on the side to tilt the back right forward so you can get passengers in the back. It wont be an issue if you dont have anyone sitting in the back though.

Remember that they wont tilt foward though like your EP3 seats as they are from a 5 door car.

I paid £316 with quote me happy on my fk2 with air filter declared. I am 42 though with 20 years ncb.

Tdi North picked theirs up today also. Its already been on the dyno and made 319hp.

It looks weird seeing that car modless. LOL It's the best colour though like mine and I would recommend a K&N panel filter to improve the induction noise.

I hae only ever had 4 cars in 20 years. 1992 Fiesta 1.1 LX, 1999 Saxo VTR, 2005 Civic EP3 and now my 2016 FK2.

Great choice of cars past and present there. :cool:

A tenth away I think. Anyone else notice the FK2 he was driving with the interior camera was red but all the external shots were from a white one?

Nice looking build you have there. :cool: Was that dyno figure standard or with the exhaust and filter?

Looks like Alonso has already damaged it

Definitely one of a kind with those leathers. Looks very good though. :cool:

If the dealer has a Facebook page then give them a negative review. I'm sure they will soon contact you to see how they can "put things right". Faulty oil LOL

I have never even tried my sat nav yet. :p

Ideal nippy little first car. Cheap as chips too which is a bonus.

Dukes of Hazzard horn FTW!

A tuning company in Puerto Rico are stating that the FK8 makes 295whp on their dyno. https://www.carthrottle.com/post/the-new-honda-civic-type-r-somehow-makes-295bhp-at-the-wheels/

My EP3 was far more raw than my FK2.

The reg plate suits that car perfectly.

LOL at that tyre price!

Ford do that colour for the Focus RS and ST and it looks awful on those models also.
