Does anyone know if the standard wheels on a fk2 civic can be refurbished? Just recently I've noticed just in the corner of the spokes there looks like what appears to be the paint wearing off, or is it as someone suggested the effects of really hot particles of the brake pads coming off and...

Has any member changed the passenger side windscreen wiper and replaced with a new original Honda one? I can see there is a flap that you lift up to take the old one off but not sure what you do from then. I've looked online for a video or explanation but I can't find anything on the fk2 or the...

I just wonder if any fellow members experience the same as I do.Quite often when i'm out for a drive i get other drivers who just want to race. I never latch on to their intentions as i've got used to this ,having had my fk2 Type r gt for just over a year.In most cases(without being clever) it's...

Recently i had a Honda free healthcare check on my 2015 fk2 gt . This took around 15 to 20 mins and a report came back to me which reported that there was an oil leak from the gearbox area and suspect rear main oil seal but will require gearbox removing to investigate further. Cost to remove...

I recently had a free health check on my 2015 fk2 civic type r and was told by my local Honda dealership that my rear discs were heavily lipped and my inner pads were 80-90% worn. The health check took around 20 mins so how on earth can you see the inner pads without taking the wheels off? As...

Last week I scraped my air deflectors ,you know those rubber flaps in front of the front wheels.When I got home it was just turning dark so I had a look under the front of my ctr fk2. The deflectors were fine but as I was looking with my ultrafire led torch through the middle slits of the tray...

Hi, Today I went for a spin in my ctr fk2 gt I drove over a rise in the road only to be followed with a dip which compressed the front suspension as a result there was some downward pressure and the strakes came into contact with the road also scraped which seemed loud in side the car. When I...

Hi everyone, Yesterday i went for a run in my ctr fk2 gt.I usually cover around 30 miles or so.I had done approx 17 miles and was on my way home driving on a straight fairly smooth road with a few bumps, when all of a sudden I heard a loud popping sound which seemed to come from the front...

Does any member know where i can get some Disposable clear car seat protectors for my Fk2. With The seat being quite large i dont think that standard ones will fit and handy to have when taking the car in to have it serviced and you know that the seat is covered as a lot of garages will just...

I suppose with only 2500 FK2s sold in the UK between 2015 and 2017 it's quite a rare sight. I was quite amused at the comments from the guy in the filling station the other night he came out with "I bet it's like ***t off a stick which brought a smile to my face.Then coming out of Halfords...

I'm fairly new on here and maybe this has been discussed before now. Before I acquired my fk2 I looked at various high performance cars with dfi engines without naming the manufacturers and what came up was the coking issues on the inlet valves leading to over time reduced performance and...

Hi I just wanted to ask fellow fk2 members who have the same colour as mine, Polished Metal Metallic if this is a trait of the paint. When driving i try not to get too close to cars in front and and when overtaking give the vehicle a wide birth to avoid stonechips.Yes inevitably I do get a few...

As the exhausts all four are 3.5 inch in diameter, when I'm washing the car I always cover the tips to stop water getting into them as a precaution. Small plastic bags with an elastic band around to secure them in place. I can imagine quite a lot of water could go in when hosing down. Always...

Hi All, I've just been reading a really interesting article all about the fk2. The Article is online and entitled . European Media Newsroom All About The 2015 Honda Civic Type R and is dated 1/6/15. Apologies to anyone who's already read this as I know it's from 2015. Basically the article...

Has any other fk2 owner found it extremely difficult to check the coolant level in the expansion tank. I bought my fk2 last October and it had just been serviced so no worries about levels etc. The oil gets checked quite often so last week I thought I'd check the coolant.so I looked at the...

Hi, I've just seen a video of a 2015 Honda Civic fk2 shoot out on a track vs an Audi RS3 (362 bhp 7speed 4 wheel drive) vs a BMW M3(425bhp twin turbo rear wheel drive) The Lap time of the honda couldn't be beaten by either, the Audi was 1/2 a sec behind the fk2 and the BMW was 2/10 of a sec...

I've just read with interest an article on the fk2 which covered 11000 miles and returned an average of 31.2mpg. Also the quoted top speed the fk2 is 167mph which just happens to be about the same speed as commercial airlines begin to take off.So next time you are jetting off on your hols as...

Is it me or does any other fk2 owner find it easy to get in and not so easy to get out? Once in a comfortable position, by that I mean you can reach the pedals, hold the steering wheel, the seat base the right height and read all the instruments on the dash. I find it virtually impossible /...
