    FN2 Newbie Type R Owner

    Nice one Julian, enjoy the car, and I`m sure you will........as I collected mine LAST Saturday, and am loving every minute of it. Look forward to seeing some good pics of it mate, as I`ve never yet seen a bronze one in the "flesh" (so to speak). You`re exactly where I was at this point last...

    Painted my Calipers......wrong colour??

    I think they look good mate, tbh, and, as has been said, you`ll find that the "glare" of the red calms down a bit once they`re covered in brake dust etc.......... Looks good, don`t worry about it, and just let them "wear" now... :cool:

    Nice one Stu; I shall look forward to the pics and the write-up, and good luck with the sale mate. :cool:

    FN2 The way back.......!!! (Now with Pics)

    Hmmmm.......must admit mate, I hadn`t noticed that, and I presume it occurs when the skirt kit is fitted, as they are dealer-fit, as opposed to factory-fit. Having said that, it`s NOT going to spoil my enjoyment of the car, as in these days of water-based paints, and plastic bumpers, there`s...

    FN2 The way back.......!!! (Now with Pics)

    To be honest people, I`m overwhelmed ! :eek: This car is fantastic. Just as quick and mental as the old EP3, as far as I`m concerned, but with comfort and maturity now thrown in, which is great when you`re not going for it, or using the motorway, etc... Here`s the pics.........

    Sigs.......

    Okay gents, thanks for the replies. It would seem that I can post a sig, even though it states I can`t ? Anyway, I tried a quick tester out before, and it`s fine. Thanks again..........:cool:

    Sigs.......

    Hi all; just "re-joining" the forum really, as I`ve been absent for a loooonngggg time ! :D I would like to post a sig for myself, but when I try to edit signature, via the User CP option, I`ve seen this: "Can Upload Images for Signature No" Any ideas why this is anyone, do I need a certain...

    FN2 The way back.......!!! (Now with Pics)

    Evenin` all (yes I know it`s a bit late for an evenings greetings, but anyway....:lol: ) Not been on here for such a long time, and even longer since I posted, but: I used to own an EP3, and am now returning to the fold, as I collect my brand new FN2 tomorrow morning...........!!! :D...

    FN2 Is This New??

    This really does make me wonder if there will now be an "RR" to follow, as, IMHO, Honda have taken a backward step with this thing. It`s more like some sort of facelift version, in a similar vein to what Ford did with the Focus, but at least Ford had the decency to progress massively from...

    The new motor...

    Very, very nice mate. The wheels look superb, as does the interior. The MX5 consistently gets rave reviews over its attributes as a "driver`s car". Good choice, and enjoy ! 8)

    Upto Date For You All :D

    Nice one Vin ! I actually like the carbon bonnet on yours. I don`t always think they suit other colours, but with yours being Nighthawk, the carbon sets it off. 8)

    Minimising Torque Steer

    moNoKnoT: I think that this is simply a consequence of putting lots of power through a front-wheel-drive system, mate. As you say, it`s only been happening since the re-map, and is really par for the course with power increases, and damp/slippery road surfaces. Try to compensate with...

    How to calculate your MPG

    Don`t know how you lads do it............when I had my CTR (facelift), I never managed more than 26 mpg. I`ve just done a 400 mile trip in my Golf GTI a few days ago, mostly M-way, and fast A-road, and averaged 36.5 mpg. :shock: Quite pleased, to say the least ! :D

    Fuel Consumption using Tesco 99 RON.

    And they say there`s no North/South divide. Looking at that, I would say that someone in head office has decided that us "Northern-wanks" can go and whistle..................... :lol:

    A-Plan Insurance

    I use A-plan for my Scoob, and their quotes are extremely competitive. They also understand your mods, instead of sitting there scratching their heads, thinking about young parker-wearing scooter-riders that love to go out on Bank Holiday Mondays................... :P

    Me and the missus cars :)

    Very nice mate, the both of them ! 8) Not sure about the TSL conversion, but everyone raves about it, as they do PPP, which I can vouch for of course. I don`t think you`ll be sorry with either to be honest, but something interesting that was pointed out over on Scoobynet, was the fact...

    Focus ST v new CTR(R)

    I don`t think anyone`s doing that mate, just offering their opinions for discussion, as you do on a car forum, you know :wink: BTW, like G, I also have a Scooby STi, and have owned a CTR, and a WRX, and have also driven the GTI, but not the new ST. Out of all those I`ve listed, (barring...

    Manchester CTR owners beware!! UPDATE

    This is a bloody disgrace, and it`s come to something when things are now so bad that you get people at your front door with weapons, demanding entry. What`s it going to be next "Oh, I believe you`ve just bought a new Plasma TV, so we`re here to collect it, there`s a good chap" It`s about...

    Much appreciated mate. :D

    Forum URL car stickers.

    Ah, but they`d all say that mate. :P I chose colours that`d suit all the colours the CTR is finished in, as opposed to blue or yellow etc, that just wouldn`t match at all. :wink:

    Forum URL car stickers.

    Ahhhh...............understood now Nick. I`m sure I can knock up something nice and simple, with just the URL (as can others, no doubt. ) :D

    Forum URL car stickers.

    Aren`t they just printed straight-off Stu ?

    Forum URL car stickers.

    Okay, here`s my "effort" :lol: You`ll notice that no, it`s not instantly readable from 35 miles away, and the reason for that, is by my way of thinking, if peeps are trying to look at it whilst the car is moving, they`ll need bloody good eyesight to read and remember the...

    Vtec

    When I had mine, I always thought the "hitting VTEC" thing was over-rated anyway, as sometimes it was hardly pronounced at all. I did love the car in it`s own right though, for it`s handling, grip, and all-round hooligan-toy qualities........................ :twisted:

    Aggressive/Enthusiastic Driving in the Type R.

    Scouse, the golden rule ALWAYS, with corners and bends is "slow-in, fast-out". If you follow this you can`t go wrong. Make sure that you enter the corner/bend at a speed that you are happy with, and the car is happy with, and once you can see the corner`s exit then you can progressively apply...

    I wonder how much my renewal will be?

    Smeg, A-plan are very good for Scoobies, but I wouldn`t know about the CTR. Worth a try though, and good luck.

    New Civic Type R

    Anyone remember how it looked in silver, with some carbon bits on it ? :twisted:

    FAO Milano Chris+Mods can we have this pls?

    A good idea Greig, and again, as others, I have seen it on other forums too. It works very well for deciding what you do/don`t want to view. 8)

    Do you still get scared??

    Been there, done that, and yes, I fully agree, bikes are awesome. Only trouble is, there`s too many cameras around to play out on a bike these days. Never mind, been there, done that............................................ :lol:
