Modded FD2 For Sale...


That just isn't worth the money in my opinion.

If I was a millioniare Honda enthusiast then I'd buy it. But I'm not, and £40k can buy you alot these days; there are far better handling, faster and more impressive cars out there for that price. I'd rather have a an FQ-400 and run it for a year with the change, than buy that.
 
Wow shed a whole 10kg, its ready to be tracked :) lol and i think standard they are 220 or 225 bhp so its a lot of money.

Never heard of a 4-3-1 manifold?
 
I saw this the other day! i said to my mom

''Mommmmmm? all i want for christmas is this''

and turned the laptop towards her, she laughed and said keep dreaming ):

looks a beast!

This is true but also at the same time its nice to have something different isnt it dont you think?
 
Buy a standard FD2 and have a spare 20k to pump into it, god knows what you could produce, would certainly end up 1000x better than that one :)
 
WTF that steering wheel is soooo chavy and on a £40k car!

No i would have an original 93 NSX Type R Champ white any day for that sort of money.

Dunx
 
That's a 30 quid Playstation wheel ffs....and it's expensive too, way too much for what you get. But it looks great imho.
 
There is so much more to this car than just the price. I took one for a drive round a track here in New Zeland (we have two) and the difference over the "normal" FD2 is leaps and bounds.

The suspension is much more track focused then the street FD2R (for argument's sake I'll call it that) and of course there are the differences in the brake pads (FD2RR runs a Mugen pad as opposed to the normal pad run in the FD2R), exhaust note, interior, the list goes on.

A lot of development work went into the RR and as a result it laps a full 3 seconds faster round Tsukuba circuit than the FD2R (from memory, maybe someone can find a more accurate time, but makes the FD2R look slow).

But is it worth the money? Have you seen how much the carbon bits on that car are worth? You couldn't buy an FD2R and convert it to RR for the price, and I'm not just talking about the body, the engine is AWESOME. For that money I would expect REAL carbon fibre in the doors, not carbon style, but for a car that fast who would be looking at the dash when you're thrashing it? The RR I drive didn't have a steering wheel like that, it had a real sweet leather MOMO job WITHOUT the horrible red inserts, I would say the original steering wheel has been "taxed" somewhere along the way, it'd be worth a fortune!

Dunk is right though, for that price I'd have an NSX, but store a Mugen RR in a garage for 20 years and it'll be worth you retirement fund for Honda, who'd love to buy it back...
 
wtf is with the really tacky halfords crap steering wheel, belongs in a saxo not a bleedin mugen rr :angry:

Would you put your money on the Mugen RR or an FD2, modified for 15k pound? I'd go for the last one. It ain't that hard to get a great note out of a K20, It ain't that hard to get 240bhp out of it. For the money an RR costs I can install nice Ohlins suspension with a seperate resevoir, put all sorts of braces on it and other swaybars, have the geometry setup. Get ITB's on the K20, put other cams in it, better header, sports cat, better intake, have it tuned. Say that will cost you 10k. 5k left for carbon parts and other weight shedding, better brake pads, maybe a bumper kit if you really fancy one (or lips). I know what I'd choose and go on holiday from the money I save.
 
Quite right JT, only someone who REALLY wanted one would pay the money.

Me? I'd have an FD2R and the money to mod it, thanks.
