My Type-R #4 - Champ White FD2

Nothing much to report with the car, just had the chrome section of the grill painted to match the rest of the gloss black front/rear trim.

Next, I have new headlights on order to complete the front end refresh
 
New headlights arrived and fitted!
While the front bumper was off I filled all cavities with wax and sprayed with rust preventative. Headlight brackets were also given a coat of preventive spray.
Not many photos taken of the car afterwards as time was limited but it really makes a big difference :)

Loving this FD2. Feel free to DM me some photos and I will feature them in a ‘members car’ post on the TRO Instagram page!
 
The car has been SORN over the winter so carried out a few little jobs.
Firstly removed the rear bumper to investigate and add some protection. Thankfully, all looked good behind there:

During dinitrol application:

New side repeaters to clean things up a bit, plus some OEM Honda side decals:

MOT time tomorrow :)
 
My new exhaust arrived yesterday.

The Kakimoto has been a long time fav of mine after having one on my dc5 - I absolutely love the look and noise with it being quiet when you want it to be but it sounds like a jet during vtec!

I'm looking forward to the current circumstances being over so everyone can enjoy their cars. Stay safe everyone
 
I'm surprised you found a garage still operating that was willing to fit it, as everywhere has shut around here. That, and I can't believe you actually fitted it instead of hanging the backbox on the wall in your living room. Lovely.
 
Is it really quiet at low rpm? What’s the drone like? It looks really nice. Suits the bumper really well

Thanks. I fitted it myself at work.

Thanks. It almost sounds OEM when driving normally, maybe a tad deeper but only noticeable with the window down.
I’ve only driven the 4 mile trip to/from work at the moment with no motorway but I expect it’ll be similar to OEM levels.

The car had a J’s Racing 60RS (iirc) fitted when I bought it which sounded great when out for a drive but was tiresome when using the car for ‘A to B trips’. The way the Kakimoto can sound standard or mental depending on how it’s driven suits what I want perfectly.
 
I had a 60 rs as well. Lasted about a week. Too much drone took away the fun of the drive. I’m looking for something to improve the sound but not ruin the car! Yours sounds perfect

Just read through this thread. The car looks amazing, nice work! Not sure I’ve even seen an FD2 in the flesh.
