Mate that is excellent. Also that shifter is just porn.

Bizarrely I had a dream about the Corvette doing this last night. Never happened to me in any car ever, never experienced it, never heard of it on a Corvette obviously. Strange that I would happen to read a post about it today...

Brutal mate but at least things stayed together and the spin didn't wreck the car etc etc. Sounds like it's on the way to fixed now anyway :D

Well, ****.

Hahaha, how would a fire have repainted his calipers??? WTAF happened to cause so much damage to the rim face ***? Or is that just from continuous tyre changes... Shoddy if so.

Well there goes my planned roadtrip to Ireland. I would fail that so hard.

Or just pretend to be a Ferrari owner and retighten every 500 miles for fun.

The number of people who need to be sent that post is too damn high.

Pole Positions are the best.

Where do you live? If the roads around you are all sh*t, then you'll never really enjoy a car like a Type R.

KINDRED SPIRITS!

AMEN. Plus it's amusing being in perfect lateral Gs comfort whilst your passengers are ruthlessly flung around the cabin. **** them they're getting stock comfy seat.

Should've seen the load I put in your ride when you weren't home.

****ig hell, that's impressive.

Saw one of these on the road again last night. Got to say, they do stand out. It's a bit like making everything else on the road look really dull. Yes, they're overstyled, but it works when they're so rare.

Merry Christmas Bikerat

I'll be putting pilot sport 4s on the front of the corvette when my PS2s die. They are far and away the best tyre for high performance driving. If you can get super sports instead I would suggest them, but they're a bit more money. PS4s will be awesome.

:lol: Wow, however many thanks this post gets, it didn't get as many as it deserved :lol:

Seriously though - what's the story with this rapid release schedule? What's it about? I mean, surely the business case makes NO sense? Unless this changes the buyer market for the Type R. I know there was criticism of the FK2 being too rich for real Honda buyers... But I can't see this one...

Carbon is so beautiful.

... ... Joe changes plans

Yep it could well have been that. Great colour for it incidentally.

Is it possible I rode past one of these on Euston Road today? I am pretty sure it was the new 2017 shape. Maybe it was an FK2 though I don't know for sure. It looked fcuking mental anyway, I stopped filtering traffic to sit and look at it for a while. Charcoal metallic grey kind of colour. Two...

Honda have lost the plot.

I'm still hankering after driving one of these.

That's pretty ****ing cool !! Keep the orbital away... Saw a blue modified 370Z in London today, numberplate DR11FT K.

Pole Positions are such excellent seats, that's what I've got in the Corvette at the moment. Probably can't mount them and have them swivel forward to get access to back seats if you want them to be FIA legal though, as I remember even the official Recaro tilt n slide isn't FIA approved -...

Jeez lad. That's some change. Can't wait to see where you take it, from your Forum posts I'm betting it's gonna be proper when it's fixed up. Is it ultimately aiming for purely a track toy or also a fast road car?

I'm dying to see it with a motorbike zip tied to the roof bars. You seem like the type ;)

Not my cup o fish personally but a great wheel, and pleased you're happy with it ! Look forward to the high quality photoshoot no doubt coming soon

That said, pretty funny seeing a track grade high-grip tyre stretched :lol:

Pretty suspect IMO. 340hp FWD? That design is mad as well. It's half way to being an Accord at that scale. I have a natural fondness for anything Honda when I see it on the road, but I think this has got some ways to go before it sees any public appeal. Also, this surely makes the FK2 a rare...

Cracking work.

Perfect!!

Wesley Snipes spec EP3 looks really nice man. Which part of Scotland are you?

JIMBO ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY

I know it is dollar but it does just have to have a bike engine :D

Apart from your tragic spelling this thing is ****ing ace man. If only you'd just etched it into the door so it rusted the design in :D

Requires pics of wife bending into boot for full analysis. It strikes me you could have reduced the car's net worth.

Killing it my friend! I fancy a big stupid spoiler like that too :lol: Keep on man, love this car.

The front bumper looks absolutely brutal. Love it. White and black always looks so good!

My mistake dude I hadn't realised. I wasn't having a dig at all, just out of touch.

I know it's not what it's designed for, but 14s QM out of a 270hp 1100kg car isn't great is it? :| Is it the box killing it at the top end?

Have you guys seen the GT3 version??? http://www.topgear.com/car-news/new-york-motor-show/bewinged-beast-honda-nsx-gt3

Saw my first FK2 today, parked up in Fitzrovia. Does look good but I still can't accept the spoiler. Front extended arches look purposeful though.

— TRO motto

Gonna replace it with something?

Alu hat discs FTFW. Nice. I had them on my old MR2... Want some for the Vette now :lol:

:lol: I can't wait until you have the cash either. Have you been in touch with them? Do you know anything about lead times etc.?

19x11.5J = $820/each 18x10J = $770/each. They cost a stack but they're such amazing wheels. Look forward to hearing how you get on with ordering/delivery/etc. Not something I can afford to do now, but one day. edit. Maybe a pair of these on the back...

Where are you sourcing CCWs?? I need a set of 505a's for the Vette!

Makes that other one look so weak !

Mugen gets single exit exhaust. For a 4cyl with one turbo. Well done mugen.

That is really really really low !

I think de-chroming a bit will do the looks a favour if you're aiming for a more 'serious looking' car. The chrome only adds to the minis charming but kind of childish look out the factory. When you see some subtly modified ones they can look a fair bit more grown up.

...Aye it is. It was a late night last night...

Passenger seat refitted... Are you LHD?

Nice one fella. Best colour for em I reckon !

What he does not have however is £1500 burning a hole! Good luck selling.

I am definitely seeing some British Racing Green in there!

Shared your ad with a friend of mine who's got an S2k!

Friend of mine bought one of these maybe a year back! He's moved it on now but it was a great whip. Watch those brakes though :| he absolutely blitzed his on a spirited drive. Not sure if it had poor pads or fluid or something but they certainly weren't up to the asking.

http://youtu.be/5-7vADye8dk Ohhhh dear. What a car that is. I feel deep sensations.

I feel like you have probably made the right decision. There will always be another BM just like that one. But this will be an event.

Are you sure it wouldn't be more economical to sell up, and get another? Unless you've got some properly unusual bits on your car (and you couldn't strip them off pre-sale) I would argue resprays are an awful lot of cash and bother, unless you've got a sentimental attachment to the car or...

I don't like hatchbacks as a rule but I gotta say, I do like that...

Get a custom build. I paid Corvette tax for my exhaust and I've since met a bunch of people with custom built systems and they're every bit as good, ALWAYS fit better, and they're generally prestige-tax free as well. And build in an exhaust cut out valve!!

Nice one fella. With a stroke of luck I can see myself in one of these one day... Awesome cars, a nice cut of special + controlled obscenity. Look forward to hearing more from it!

That ticket pile is ace. Contrary to everything you've written above, the BMW is by far the more boring car. There's a million of them on the road. There are never going to be many of these Civics. I bet a tiny part of you regrets it when you forget which car in the car park is yours ;)

I have the Corvette for kicking ass and a bicycle for when I can't afford the petrol :D

Which tyres are on the car affects the performance in the wet more than which car you're actually in!! Get em changed.

Re your wheels - I would be surprised if "CardHore" couldn't do it. He's done some insane work, he's just one guy but he does amazing, amazing projects. His prices are really good too, only guy I would use because I've spoken to him personally a few times. I know he has contacts that do...

Sounds brilliant man. I am planning on doing the ARBs on mine as well - and am going to leave the shocks and springs relatively soft. Stiff shocks are detrimental to performance on roads anyway! Pleased to hear you're so positive about the ARB upgrade, looking forward to getting the money...

Nightmare. Puts the fear up me, this. If someone hit the Vette I wouldn't have the money to repair it so it would have to go down as a non fault claim and I KNOW I'd get raped on renewal and have to sell the car. I really feel for you mate, proper **** situation. I hope you find a company who...

...air ride maybe?

What's it made of?

Sick car. I fancy a front splitter like that as well... Caught it on anything yet?

Noob

That second shot is lovely.

That looks insane. Nice one! What are the seats?

+ My boner hurts

I nearly convinced myself I wanted a V10M6 once. Imagine the calamity when it broke...

Agreed, biggest improvement you can make / worst detriment to any performance car, fitting the best / worst tyres available. I really don't understand it. A lot of the corvette crowd run around on what's most affordable and as the cars only do 2000 miles a year they use them for 7 years. Wtf.

What are the tyres? Are they semi slick cup2 type tyres? If so discard all judgments made of the car until it's on normal rubber lol.

Can't believe someone's stacked one already. What a knobber!!

EVEN on the Honda version.... There would be an LS swap :lol:

Lol @ including two photos with his M3 in them. What a ******

Looked a bit fcuking out of place I tell you. Friend of mine has a DC2 and I'll try anything once... Lol

Too many white Hondas these days, buy a blue one.

They don't do any sizes that are remotely close to fitting an Integra in the Sport Cup 2 at least. Hmmmm... found this on eBay. Wouldn't recommend these exact ones but you definitely could get the original sport cups in your size.

Are you allowed to change tyre size?

Ah my mistake. I saw an Integra dc2 this weekend with sport cups on (assume these aren't allowed) and thought they'd offer super sports in the same sizing.

Can you get away with Pilot Super Sports?

Totally by accident, I ended up at this Honda meet at the Falkirk wheel today. We're you there??

Don't know where you are in Edinburgh these days but you can borrow my low profile trolley jack if you need it.

Saw an FN2 on the road today and thought... Damn, for a Type R that looks tame! Obviously new one starting to take effect!

How was the standard of driving of the cars around you? Anyone being a full on hero knobber? Or anyone shitebagging it and driving way too slowly? Wrong lines? Always dreamt of driving there but so nervous about pranging the car.

I don't know if I have any. But let's just say the standard of clothing was sublime.

I must go!!!!

You guys should've seen the Honda stand at Le Mans! Eyeballs out of sockets...
