FK8 General FK8 (10th Gen) CTR Release chat

I got my reg number and chassis today. It's still looking good for collection on the 1st or 2nd if the car actually turns up on time next week.
Just spoke to my dealer regarding alloy wheel protection and he said definitely available for the type r (I'm sure he is wrong) so have said yes to that at 350 squid

Not sure we'd see much improvement on any 0-60 times though, every vid I see and experiencing it a bit myself on the test drive, getting the power down seems tricky enough with 316

Realistically we've hit the limits of what a fwd car can achieve 0-60. I can't ever see a sub 5 second 0-60 from any OE production car. Once up and rolling there's still room for increased performance, lap times etc. But 0-60. No. Not really.

what the...? £350 for alloy wheel protection?? I'm positive the sales girl told me it was £150.

Was probably going to go for that. Not at £350 though.

not really sure on gap insurance. I've taken it before but I'm not really sure it's worth it.

There is no way you should be letting a dealer do paint and/or alloy protection. Find a decent detailer and get them to do a proper job.

As jason said, he's talking about insurance.

i.e. From what I was told you pay for £150 and if you scuff your alloy during the 1st 3 years you can get free repairs done up to about 15 times. (can't remember the exact figure)

Word of warning on using 3rd party insurers however. Most don't cover the diamond cut alloys so make sure if you are thinking of a non-dealer insurance, that it covers the alloy you have.
 
I'm going up to my dealer tomorrow to pay some more down on the car , will get a breakdown of gap insurance etc whilst I'm there and report back.
 
Friend of mine sent these .. looks very nice in BSB. Possibly another fk2 convert

Ok so just about to jump into an FK8 for an extended test drive. Finally I'll be able to weigh up the looks vs performance.... more later.
