hey everyone!
I've owned my FN2 for two years now and about a month ago i was finally in a position where i could buy my dream car, the FK8. I purchased my FK8 from Honda as a used approved 1 owner car. I was told by Honda that the previous owner bought the car as a retirement gift and was in his 60's but sold it as he had to immigrate. the car is in excellent condition and was really well looked after and serviced.
The original owner did do a few things to the car, hes put a Remus exhaust with carbon fiber tips with a cool sound controller for the valves and just yesterday i noticed a Mishimoto oil catch can. Honda told me the car is now pushing 460bhp (taking that with a grain of salt) and im still waiting to hear back from them regarding whats been done to the car (not sure if they even know) but the car is definitely not running stock power.
heres where i need help, ill attach the pictures to this post. the first one is located in the boot on the left side behind the little door where the tools are. there's a metal box with some plug sticking out with a red cover. It's clearly important becuase he's made a quick access cut out so it can be used with the cover on. The second is under the bonnet, there are two little black boxes with wires running to the battery, both the boxes are hooked up to each (cant tell where they lead to, maybe ECU?) I realize this may be a long shot
I dont know how to tell if the car has been tuned/chipped, is there any way i can find out? just like with the catch can i simply want to know whats been done so i can do any added maintenance thats required. would really appreciate anyones input and suggestions, i know its a long shot to identify them but perhaps some of you know or even have something like this.
cheers everyone!
