Type R #9 CW FD2

Messages

Hello.

Having recently just sold my CWDC5 (better change my name) after owning it for 5 years and carrying out various modifications on it , it had served me well but I have had a nagging for an FD2 for some time, yesterday it finally happened

I had been on the hunt for one for a while, but they are few and far between especially clean ones.

This one was sourced by Andy of 200bhp cars and imported via jm imports. Previous owner was the only owner since import and also had a DC5 and EK9 respectively. The car has been meticulously maintained by the last owner who had it just shy of two years.

It comes with a Toda catback and m&m Honda intake, also supplied with the car is a brand new toda decat and m&m honda scoop which fits behind the bumper... They Are the only modifications I have seen, these are due to be fitted at Tgm next week after I come back from Spain, I may have purchased a flash pro.. And a mugen grille... And mugen wind deflectors. I have also bought a complete service kit including spark plugs, spoon sump plugs, braided lines and fluids etc, will get that done soon.

I have also bought an FD2 related plate, and still have to fit my spoon plug cover, gear knob and a few other trinkets I kept off my DC5.

The car is great, in many ways just like an integra but a bit more 'grown up' my Teg had braces and coilovers , I feel the Fd2 handles significantly better than my DC5 , the grip in the thing is mind blowing..

I actually feel it's the best Honda I have owned to date, the ride is stiff but not uncomfortable. Maybe a different story for back seat riders but there we go, not in a rush to upgrade any suspension parts whatsoever. I do fancy a double din but the head unit is a fairly decent alpine that charges my phone and plays the music from it so again that can wait.

Pics after a quick clean to remove 300 miles worth of flies.

Very nice. Does look in fantastic condition. :smt023
 
Painted my garage white, any guesses for the floor colour when that gets painted ?

Also debadged the left side at the rear, and gave it a coat of naviwax.

No silly plans. Just to get it mapped with the decat and intake fitted. After research there's no need to fit a race header on these as the OEM manifold is a very well designed manifold, so a decat , decent catback and good intake is all I'll be looking to stay with on this, engine wise.

Don't forget as standard they have a 5.1 final drive , RRC inlet and shorter 1-3 gears than a DC5 as standard. I think the suspension is pretty sorted but may look at that later on. The white wheels may annoy me with the dirt factor but I love how it looks in OEM guise. May venture down the carbon bonnet route but this would certainly be painted white. They really don't need much doing to them to be very quick a-b. Already had a bit of a tangle with a new cupra R and pulled his pants right down around a well known private bendy road near my house. I took a mate who has a Teg out in it yesterday and all they could do was laugh like a child at its grip factor.
