Hi all, looking for a second set of alloys for my FK2, track biased - any suggestions ? Would be a bonus if they fit an FK8 as well. I'd not be wanting anything to rub or stanced, more function.

Did you get the PPF fitted ? Where are you in the country - LE mini meet ?

I've just booked this for 31st Jan 11:00 if anyone has interest. It will be 3 laps of the GP behind a BMW saftey car. I've not done the GP before, only ever the Indy. Not a full on track day but somthing that the family can join in...

What size tyres are people running on their EP3 for track days - I'm thinking AR1's - 215 -- 40 or 45 ?

So this is how the numbers stack up for the LE. Mainland Europe seems hard done by. Region Allocation Per Capita CAN 100 375,900.00 USA 600 547,000.00 JAP 200 632,500.00 UK...

No, it was the optional extra 'flipping' wallet which has £5000 in it. I didn't select that option.

UK-003 was widrawn from the Apex competition, seemed a bit of a flop. Now advertised for retail @ £44,950 - a nice £5k for the dealer. https://www.jcbautomotive.co.uk/cars/honda/civic/typerlimitededition/415865/ I'm supprised Honda let it go to a dealer as they asked me not to sell it for 6...

Hello Peps, Does any one have a discount code for Dream Automotive ? CheeRs

On the UK one no speakers, no charging thingy, wiring loom is different, no usb, does the normal type R have a get you home space saver ? You just get the sealent with the LE, no elec mirror retract thingy.

They are a beautiful wheel - let us know if you find out what they cost? I could do with a second set with more road based tyre. The cup 2's are silly sticky. Any elemet of gravel stiks to them and pings on the body.

Is you in bound Dotty? Most of them are coming next year I believe.

I've set up this Facebook Group to hopfully arrange some South East local meets when lock down allows: South East HondaRs UK - Type R Owners https://www.facebook.com/groups/486260325643700

Ok cool - be good to get a little gathering of R's going when lock down finishes.

Very nice indeed - its on my list of cars to own at some point

Hello folks, I've recently just got an FK8. Just wondering after all this lock down finishes are there any regular meets in the south east ? I'm in Surrey.

Went out for a blast this eve. I'm still trying to keep it down to about 4k and you can go pretty fast even at that. Most the time I have been in comfort mode just playing with the balance of the car. R mode is pretty firm for all but good tarmac surfaces but it does sharpen things up. I...

It has the foam / polystyrene base. Boot floor now fitted. No jack, just a pump and get you home sealer by the looks of it. I was asking dealer it I could retrospectively fit the infotainment but apparently they stripped part of the wiring loom so not an option from Honda. I know it’s not...

Part two of my car collection Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Weirdly the dealer contacted me today and said Honda UK has sent them a carpet for the boot. Will try and pick it up this week see what it looks like. The boot it pretty unusable like it is, but I guess thats not what this car is about.

No foam - foam would be weight, weight would be bad. I will think positive thoughts and never need foam.

Deffo - It's weird, I put my deposit down on the day Honda anounced the car back in Feb. I've had a few calls from dealership over the last few months and each one seemed to start with a bit of uncertanty as to the order so to actually get it now is pretty amazing. I just need to get this...

Thanks. No mate, I've driven an FK2 on a short test drive but not a standard FK8 so I have no idea how different it is. Feels pretty agile and a bit raw. Bit of road noise due to the tyres and lack of sound deaddening and the rear boot cover.

First one of the UK cars so the dealer told me. Said there will be 21 in total - 1 is owned by Honda UK. Done about 70 miles in it today. Just jog the miles up to get it run in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep. I've seen FK2's on track but I've not seen any FK8's on track - Is that just me ?

Won't be a daily I don't drive daily now with CV19, but all my cars have been on track days and been to the Ring.

Yep collecting tomorrow. I think I maybe the first - 002, I think 001 is the Honda press car.

Thanks for the details. It's a 2020 model in yellow.

Hello peps, I'm potentially getting my type R tomorow / Thurs new from Honda. Couple of questions for folks that have brought them. Are there any extras people would recomend when buying new? Like a service pack etc Are there any running in things that should be done? What bolster...

C19 has probably impacted what they wanted to do - probably a sub 7:40 in it.

The yellow one is going to be dropping some lap time records one feels.

Hello all where is the best place to get a replacement caliper - just want to make sure I get quality over price. Cheers.

Bonjour, I will be going to the ring this coming weekend in my EP3 with a bunch of Scoobies. Any one else going to be out there? Mines a Cosmic with a Silver Honda Sun Strip.

Track day brands

I'm booked for Bedford next Monday - any one else on here going ?

Good point - I had focused on the oil. I've done 100+ miles in it and it's improved - I'm sure the track day will fix it. If I get time I'll take the valve off an clean it. Went for HEL - got a 15% off discount code - carbon finish looks great. Gearbox oil was changed only a couple of k ago...

Thanks - yes prior owner had it set-up with 'fast street' set-up - only a couple of k ago. I'll see how it runs and how I get on with it. If I like it I'll get some coil-overs put on it.

Right good people of type R land. Bedford booked for Dec 11th My car as purchased: 1-Eibach ProKit Springs 2-JDM rear anti roll bar 3-Tegiwa cat back exhaust 4-Tegiwa intake 5-Solid Fabrications exhaust manifold and sports cat (passed MOT) 6-K100 ECU remap on 95 RON fuel by Romain Levesque...

I didnt battery was still good enough to start it. Car is away from home in a garage so I'll give it a good run next time I have access to it.

Ello, I haven't driven my Type R in a 2-3 months. It was mapped by EuroSpec, with a K100 ecu. Started it today and its rev-ing from about 1k - 2k like its hunting around. Is that just the ECU just trying to re-learn things. I haven't run it on the road yet, so my hope is that it will clear with...

Ello Good People of Type R, I have an EP3 which has been modified a bit but the brakes are largely stock. I'm intending to do a couple of track days. Any recommendations on braided lines and pads? Are the stock disc's up to it? Cheers

Hi there, any recommendations for a roof rack / bars ? I need to cart a bike and a kayak around. TIA

Hey good people of this forum. I would like to get some braided lines for my brakes + some better buckets seats. I think the standard seats are ok for road use but there's not much lateral support if I were on a track day. Any recommendations on either? Oh and big brake kit -...

Wow that looks bing bang yabba yabba

Ok thanks - and why does the EP3 get such a hike with an exhaust and ECU Replace / Map - 40bhps seems a lot for a NA car - is it what can be done with VETC in the map ?

Hi there, new to Type R's so have some base questions. The Honda S2000 has 237bhp or there about. My EP3 has the K100 and running 239bhps. Is the S2000 already tuned to that level or would an ECU upgrade on a S2000 take it further? TIA

Nice - good luck.

Looks like a 2WD EVO 10.

Well your car looks cool even if she is a bit under the weather

Tyres were + 10 wider, not sure about the off set, will have to have a look. Feels like it could be the arch liner, it's not a lot and only noticed it when mounting a sleeping police man.

Hi there, I have changed the standard wheels on my EP3 for Speedline Marmora's. I get a very slight hint of rub on the drivers side upon harder compression over bumps, mainly speed humps. Sitting on Eibach springs. I can live with that no problem, but I think the steering feels a bit different...

Speedlines fitted - not had time to get the 888s on the std Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks like an Evo - prefer the FK2

This went for 4600 in prior auction but seller could not pick it up. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-Civic-Type-R-2-0i-V-TEC-60000-miles-12-months-MOT-2005-/201943572089?

Ok, I know they have stringent restrictions owing to the council and their drive by db meter is linked to the council computer so I was lead to believe. I had issues with my EVO managed to get it down with a bung, but pinged the drive by later in the day. Hope mine is below - else it will be...

What was the issue with the marshals? I have had issue with noise there in the past, hopefully not in the Civic.

What's the typical cost to change the timing chain ?

Ok so track day booked for next Wed Eve - Brands Got a set of 888's from Ebay on the way and just picked these up which have better tyres than on it at the mo. If I can get the 888s on rims for next week I'll use them else these will suffice. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I'm booked to take the EP3 on her first track day next Wed Eve if any one would care to come along.

Hi looking at doing a track day next week - what tyres are people running ? Can you fit a 225 profile to the standard rim? Pros / Cons ? TIA

Very nice - looks great with the alloys.

Thanks - any idea on sizes or where I would get them from ?

Did you have to fit spigot rings ?

Me too - got some Evo 8 RAYs - will they fit ? 18 x 8J?

Right people - have some wheels from an EVO which I believe should fit, but some one mentioned a spigot ring or somin like that. Whats the deal with fitting an EVO wheel ?

very nice

Is the Mugen 200 worth the extra wedge ?

I got a Subaru WR1 and and EVO 8

26psi all round

very nice too -

Good idea

Welcome

I limit my road speeds and save it for the track

lovely looking motor

Great job - love it !!

Very cool

thats cheap!!

Ive used both, RSR's on my S3 and Federal on a track Puma. Both good - you can get two compounds in the NS2Rs soft and med. I rate both.

Great looking car

Looks great - nice GTR there too.

Looks like fun!!

what you getting ?

Look forward to the update.

Looks great - I'm new to the forum hoping to get my hands on a Type R soon!!
