    FD2 Import on its way

    Thanks I’m pleased with it. I think it was around 3 months. Depends on the boats! It’s seems a long time to wait when you have handed over your money but they do source genuinely good condition cars! I was really pleased.. they send you pictures and talk the whole thing through beforehand. Give...

    So it’s been a while with a few bits done. Had to self isolate, waiting on a Covid test result so had a bit of spare time this weekend. Ordered some wheel spacers as I have never been happy with the way the wheels sit in the arches. Before After Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    My Type-R #4 - Champ White FD2

    I had to leave my car under a tree at a hotel last night. When I went to it this morning....... what a mess!! Gutted. Washed it earlier this afternoon and it has stained my paint (it’s white) it looks terrible. Any ideas how to remove it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    It's not a massive difference but combined with the stiff bushings makes a nice quick shift. I like it. A lot of money though
  28. Richo

    White fd2 type R

    Just a quick update. I wasn't expecting this but the shifter has made a nice change. Feels tighter and quicker, I'm very pleased. Money well spent.
  29. Richo

    White fd2 type R

    Got there in the end and it was rude not to fit their shift boot too, matchs the seats nicely. I like the way it looks but will have to wait for the drive till tomorrow. That's it for now, just looking at my next rhd Japan order.
  30. Richo

    White fd2 type R

    Now I've been thinking about the mugen short shifter but have heard a lot af reviews saying there is very little difference from oem. So I ordered the stradale version. Shorter titanium shaft, stiff bushings giving a shorter more precise throw. Or so they claim. Comparison very similar...

    If you can get a water temp gauge fitted! The stock one never reads over normal and they are prone to overheating due to the stat failing and you never know. Then it's head gasket if that happens. Fun cars though. My wife had one for a while

  46. Richo

    White fd2 type R

    It's the tyres, only 235 wide but the shoulder is wider (more square) as they are R1R toyo. The offset looks flush with the arch so I was really pleased with that.

    Recently fitted my evo wheels to the civic. I think they look pretty good to be fair, even though only 17" wheels. Unfortunately the tyres I have fitted are too wide and rub the rear arch.

    The condition is great I could hardly ask for better. I purchased a j's 60rs from dotty earlier this year, fitted it in my garage.

    EP3 Tanabe Super Racing Medallion Exhaust

    I had a tanabe smr on my dc2 a while back. I would imagine the sound would be similar. It was very loud with a decat, not quite so bad with the cat in place and with bung in it was fine. But the restriction takes away the whole point in the exhaust. The main issue for me was the drone. So loud...

    I have a mugen air box already. That's where I was coming from. Sorry I didn't mention that before. The box is smooth inside, that's where the idea came from.

    Silicone intake hose

    I haven't looked inside the rubber hose but I was thinking if it is smooth inside. Looks like it would be ribbed & maybe slow the air flow?
