FK2 FK2 general discussion

[RSmith1992FK2]

Not knowing how the first owner drove it. The cars now done 25k. I assume from normal use that its normal for the Brembos to be dead (pads and discs) at roughly 25k.

I get roughly 5k from front rubber, every 4-5 months i need new shoes. The rears last twice as long.

Really? New disks at 25K?!

... I might get an Alfa.

Buying a Alfa or any other budget italian car is buying problems. They are well designed but CTR F2 is by far more reliable!

Really. Who knows if the previous owner tracked it.

I'm real taken with the Giulia Speciale, looks nice.

Yes, all Giulia line looks great. Alfa made great cars back in the 60s-70s of the last century. They are trying to revive that era with Giulia line.

I'm having bad thoughts of trading the FK in, i've only had the car 5 months and the running costs are getting to me. I knew i was on the cusp of being able to afford to run the car doing 60 miles a day in it, but wasn't expecting the costs to hurt as much. Monthly PCP payments. New tyres last month. New brakes this month. Much £££ on petrol. Thankfully servicing is free.

The thought of trading a car in i love sucks.

Maybe i'll run it till the new tyres are dying, then...

... I might get an Alfa.

What mileage is it on ?

I've seen this one for sale with quite high miles. Not sure what the bloke got for it ..

 

[Brilliantsportyblue]

Its on 25k, or there-abouts

Anybody know the paint code for FK2 side skirts / front splitter / nose etc? Can you buy touch ups?
I've just noticed a minor scuff.

I saw two FK2's yesterday and only one DC5 and one FN2.

Bloody things are common as muck now.

Getting caught in the storms last night was not fun. Zero visibility, hardly any grip and deep standing water being shovelled out the way by the chin spoiler. I swear i was causing damage somewhere. All seems well this morning. Few.

How are you FK2 chaps finding the addition of a turbo?

Look like a good bit of kit these cars

They only made 2,250 FK's in the UK. Compare that to 13,000 FN2's and 21,000 EP3's!

I think there might have been more than that

I did read on here that someone from Honda HQ confirmed only 2,500 for UK roads. That's the number most people are saying.

I've only ever seen a couple of FD2s on the road in my lifetime and only a handful of Integras, so I'd have thought the FK2 will be extremely rare. Most definitely rarer than the FK8.

Is it a tad naive to hope the FK2 holds its value well?

 

[Brilliantsportyblue]

Yes.

 

[j_james]

Thats a very confimed yes??

Made it to 1:25 before turning it off, jeez that guy is annoying.

Did he get close?

 

[V-TEC]

A tenth away I think. Anyone else notice the FK2 he was driving with the interior camera was red but all the external shots were from a white one?

 

[MB CTR]

Yep they always seem to have dodgy editing like that
