    FL5 New Civic Type R

    Talking of retirement beckoning, my wife made me go to Ikea which is about 2 hours away and I took the fk2. After the shopping we walked past a van near to us got back to the car and as we opened it up the 40's couple in the van hopped out and he said "We had been wondering who would own this...

    Tracking

    I took the ep3 on track last year. It is a vanilla unmodded car and I do not do anything particular before going on track, just check the tyres. Who else takes their car on track?

    FL5 New Civic Type R

    I see, thanks, yes it does look good, a worthwhile change. I was briefly on f**ook the other day and saw a weird fk2/8 thread about covering up the red stripe on the front spoiler and one person said will black tape look chavvy.

    FL5 New Civic Type R

    It is on arse, I agree with that, I had difficult selling my Elise and when whinging to someone about it heard of a porsche selling for 10k's less than expected. I don't think it's just for the moment either, I think it will just get worse, particularly in the classic car sector.

    FK2 Fk2 Workshop Manual

    Similar situation here, I am not going to do too much on the car but I like to do the odd simple fix / component swap. Thanks very much for the mention of the Haynes auto fix, I always used to buy haynes books.

    This is a great thread Phil, thanks for putting it up, I have a 2003 car and 2 months ago I took it for about its 3rd mot and service in my ownership and I asked the garage for an opinion on the underside and rust. They said nothing unsafe or needed doing but that it has lots of surface rust...

    use ctek 3600 on a stop-start battery?

    I charged the EFB type stop start battery on the fk2 for about 6 hours, the battery was low at 12v to start. I didn't measure it at end but I'm guessing it probably ended up around 12.5. I'll try charging it to full next time. Just out of interest what type of stop start batteries are in the...

    FK8 Honda Civic Type R review - the ultimate hot hatch?

    I get that, petrolheads don't need to own petrolhead cars forever. I'm retired also and sadly recently sold my Lotus Elise because I'm no longer anything like as into public road driving for its own sake as I once was. It didn't help the Elise case for staying that the wife wouldn't get into...

    use ctek 3600 on a stop-start battery?

    Thanks both of you. The battery on my fk2 us an efb (enhanced flooded battery). From googling what an efb is (I think it is like a normal flooded battery but toucgher eg it has carbon added into the plates) and looking at the 3600 manual, the ctek has 2 car modes, the normal one and a winter...

    It will be a lot nicer with proper tyres on, I put Michelin potenza sports on my ep3 and the feel was transformed.

    My ep3 clunks as I am driving straight along . The last time that I had it serviced and MOTed my garage checked the suspension and there is nothing wrong with it. I know that clunks on ep3s can be for various reasons. I want it looked at by a specialist, any suggestions for a say 30-40 mile...

    Suits' Cosmic EP3 - ***Oil Leak 08/09/23

    That looks really nice. When I saw shifter bushes on your change list I thought you could feel slackness through the gear knob? They're great cars, cosmetically my ep3 is a bit rough but its soul is the same as my fk2.

    FL5 New Civic Type R

    I cannot belive it was only a month ago and now I have a championship white fk 2 outside. That was just because I went to a Honda main dealer thinking it would be simple to px the elise, but they weren't interested, even against a 36k sportline.

    What is you like about it? On looks, the front is not immediately attractive to me, but on another forum they put up fk2 fk8 and fl5 side by side and the fl5 does look pretty good side on. It could just be a photo vs reallife thing I doubt Honda roulw make something that I didn't really like...

    FL5 New Civic Type R

    I am not great on selling cars and instead of selling the 111s I seem to have bought an fk2! I must see if there are any meets planned for fellow otaku! I like the big wing also, and the ridiculous g force meter. I don't like its kerb magnetism.

    FL5 New Civic Type R

    Dave and Matt, I am selling my s1 111s and casting around for what to get next, Exigepossibly but I like the look of the fk8 although I have only seen photos so far, not sat in one. I forget ep3 successor was it the fn2. I prefer what I have - ep3 - inside to the fn2 which I found a bit lairy.

    Why are there so few car sales on here?

    I've a pre-facelift EP3. When I bought it, it was with the idea of making my way through the different CTR variants, and I've just started thinking about moving, either to a facelift or more likely an FN2, this year or next. There seem quite a lot of ads on there and autotrader, but not so many...
