Type R #12

dotty · Aug 20, 2017

This will be a brief ownership, even by my standards. Something to bridge the gap between my FK2 selling and the FK8 arriving.

It had £2.5k spent on it last year including a new clutch (stage one)

It also has a hks rsk intake (think thats what it's called) and yellow speed coilovers with camber arms and it has been polybushed.

It also has a nice pioneer app radio thing with Bluetooth / hands free calling.

I have ordered new discs and pads all round , and will give it an oil change.

It appears to make a lot of noise for very little progress and I can't wait to get overtaken by everything in it when it goes to spa in October.

Will be for sale by mid October for under £3.5k , with a fresh MOT.

There must be some mistake, I thought that wasn't a Type R?

Is there a Type R you haven't owned at some point?

I can't remember a DC2 either, but that might be my memory.

When the lease on the Zoe ends, the replacement will be #20.

Changed the discs and pads and did a return trip to Europe for the Belgian GP - it survived

However ... this car was meant to be heading to spa and the ring for a track day in early October but it just isn't cutting the mustard really (sorry fn2 owners) so I'm on the look out for something more suitable that I can take over to spa and use and not lose too much money over.

Will be for sale when the v5 turns up.
