    Jimbothemagnificent's Zenki

    Hi again - a slightly better shot of the engine bay. Cheers for the comments, she's a right beastie okay. Looking at the problems you have I would suggest the Haltech would be the way to go. Sad you have to sell for a house deposit but that is the way it goes sometimes. My car started as a...

    FK2 Lots of talk about FK8 Values. FK2?

    Thanks for that. Yes I paid NZD$55,000 (£28,200 in todays exchange rate) in 2017 for my 2016 model. I've done 50,000km as a daily-driver with no issues. For the record, the one above at $65,000 has done 20,000km. Happy to hear any other experiences out there.

    FK2 Lots of talk about FK8 Values. FK2?

    Hi; I have one of the few FK2's in New Zealand and am reading plenty about the price of FK8's in the UK and the values (whether that holds remains to be seen). I am interested in what the market is doing in the UK for FK2's. Is there a resurgence in interest/ values there given the more limited...

    FK2 Buying an FK2 - What should I look for?

    Hi NZ from NZ I have an FK2 (one of the 750 Japan models which arrived here brand new (one of 5 x MY16 models in a batch with zero mileage)). I purchased it at only 60km on the clock in October 2017. At that stage there were no FK8s in NZ either. My car is now at 23000km and has had 2 x...

    FK8 SportContact 6 Tread Wear

    Absolutely - median income in NZ is NZ$48000 (25000 pounds) - so tyres would be a fair whack. But we have a great landscape to go driving in.

    FK2 FK2 Rear fog light - Numpty question

    Yes - I read also that Japan only got non-GTs. Sounds like they did indeed get their own spec. New Zealand never got any FK2 CTRs - domestically we had the bread-and-butter version of the Civic and missed out on any hot version. The only CTRs here are privately imported/ dealer import (like...

    FK2 FK2 Rear fog light - Numpty question

    Hi; as the owner of R-0663 ex-Japan, I have a question regarding the lower rear red fog 'light' between the pipes. Does it work? As I would expect there would be a separate toggle on the stalk for turning this on but only the front fogs have this. Does that mean as standard it is only a...

    Hi guys; To pick up this thread, As per my "Newbie" entry, my car is a brand new arrival from Japan (R-00663). It appears it was exported from England with no audio fitted (?) as I would assume the Japanese would fit their own headunits with a Japanese language as its baseline. Therefore its...
