Is there a purpose built tool for removing the FK8's under bonnet plastic clips that hold the slam panels etc in place? Ta.

That answer was for this question!

Yeah i do that already. On occasion i slip, and i just know that one day it's inevitable i'll score a plastic slam panel or worse, the paint.

Now we're talking, cheers lad.

Not sure anyone's posted this vid.

Brand new FK8 has the engine pulled out in the interest of education, and the cars mechanicals are talked about in detail front to back.

I found it real interesting.

Drop the spoiler and it might look ok

"Well, they couldn't possibly make it look worse..."

These journalists sure give the FK8 a slating about its looks!

I wasn't keen myself on the styling at first but i think it looks awesome now!

Just went for a Friday night blast.....note to others, them golf GTE's are quick.....I am sure he had the had foot to the floor with all batteries set to warp speed and maybe even plugged his own phone in for good measure but kept me honest

The gte has a 0-62 of 7.6 should have walked it. Unless you're talking rolling start and then i'm amazed, as that's what the CTR is good at.

I remember having a similar experience against an i3 when I had an fk2.

 

[Alexander2017]

The gearbox is assembled in Swindon from parts supplied from Japan.

Honda have identified the problem now and are in the process of testing a fix - I can tell you it's not the master cylinder.

Thank you man! It's one of the best news I had this year. I wonder how long would it take for the change to be implemented in the production chain.

As somebody said earlier, I'm also having this car on my mind but holding off getting it. I tested it against M2 and FK8R ended up being more impressive. I am stunned every time I see one passing by, it's like a fighter jet on the street. But then the likely perspective of dealing with such complex repairs on a new car, at this price point, makes me put it off. Plus that I'd keep it longer than warranty therefore it needs to be reliable.
