When you replace a battery in the keyfob is there any pairing that needs to be done? Icon was showing on the dash for low power on the key, I switched the battery with a brand new duracell and Nada, tried a second battery and again nothing. Theres no little red led flashing on the fob when pressed, and nothing small visibly damaged on the circuit board either, so I'm wondering is there something I'm missing out on or should it be a straight swop?
Just a straight swap
When you say brand new battery do you mean you just bought it ?
I replaced my remote battery on the FK2 & still no joy only to find my stash of batteries were years out of date having sat in the drawer :getcoat:

Two weeks, bloody heck. I used to post under zero7 but forgot my password, tried to do a password reset but it couldn’t find me under my email address so wonder if something happened? I then had to register under a new user name (just put another 7 on the end of it lol)The forum was down for about 2 weeks so it may take a while for the regular posters to return.
No worries at all. How come you ask about the E92 M3 specifically? FK2 is likely just as fast in the real world, especially when traction is a limiting factor. But that V8 is a beauty.
I've had a couple of M3's a really nice Dakar Yellow one and Stratus Grey Metallic one. The performance of them is what I'm looking for as a benchmark. I've had a lot of cars since the FD2 including a tuned EVO9 GT, a Spec-C Subaru and a V8 mustang. From the video's I can't quite gauge the in gear performance levels. I'm guessing it will be almost as quick as my Subaru Spec-c which was also running around 320bhp.
God to know, I really liked my M3, really came alive on track but you had to rev it, took a long time for me to get used to the quality, it was like an onion, had a lot of layers Also the DCT box really suited the car in full agressive shift mode, better than the god awful manual box they shoved into it. Pretty set on an FK8 now, just need to sell my two cars to make way.Genuinely didn’t think my E92 M3 was a good car tbh and especially when you compare it to modern turbo hatches it is slow. Only plus points for me were the intake noise and steering feel. I briefly owned an FK2 and it would have trounced the E92 imo. Same torque figure, lower in the rev range and in a lighter car. Can’t see the FK8 being much different.

Question on main dealer forecourt prices, I like a good haggle, do they tend to budget more than £500 - £1k? for say a 2018 example?
Hi Av, good to hear your coming back to the Honda badge!....Once Covid is over we can go for a drive in the FK2 and you can compare.THanks Alex, the discount side of things helps, will get my cars shifted and get myself a nice red fk8, been too long out of a honda.

Personally I prefer the looks of the FK2 over the FK8....
