A Few Shots Of My FN2 Type R.

[Ian_182]

Just a few pics of my fn2.Ive had the car for 2 years this month and its been a nice time.The car has never gone wrong or let me down once.I didnt manage to get any interior shots this time as the midwife turned up.
Yesterday was the first time i managed to give it a proper clean since christmas really so i thought i'd share a few pics.

Im not a detailer by any means so i washed it with a mit and some halfords shampoo.I then rinsed with a watering can and dried it with a chamois leather.After letting it dry in the sun for a couple of hours i used some maguires liquid gloss and then toped it off with some zaino Z6.Not being a detailer i can vouch for the maguires and the zano stuff its brilliant on red.I know christopher gets his best coloured car ever soon so chris,the zaino stuff is great on red.

Anyway here's a few shots i took on a shitty lumix hand held.

 

[Christopher]

I give these some stick, but they're a decent motor really.

That really does look superb though. Shame there's no 4-pot option for the front. It'd really finish them off.

Red cars FTW.

 

[Joe#]

I'm loving FN2's at the moment

 

[Ash']

The only colour i'd have a FN2 in looks amazing, nice pad too!

 

[K1NGY]

cracking car! do have such a soft spot for these

 

[Scrooge]

Strange looking cars but I like them all the same.

 

[Ian_182]

Also forgot to say it has the 19" rage alloys and GP kit which is the rear diffuser and front splitter in gloss black.It is also the GT model so it has the extras.

Thanks for the comments.

I must be getting old but I find myself more interested in the house than the car (no offense to the car btw) that your gaff? If so looks proper. I'd love a single let alone double garage!

 

[Ian_182]

Yes its mine turkish and as you can see im not a massive petrol head but im a family man first so the house is priority.The civic to me looks the part,still modern and still catches a few looks and at the time with my budget was what ticked the right boxes.
Ill always go house first but ill try to pick something decent for what i can afford.

 

[Turkish]

I wasn't being negative toward the car, nothing wrong with it at all mate. I just particularly like your house! lol

 

[Christopher]

I'd be painting and carpeting that garage like a showroom.

 

[.GAZ.]

House & car are both cracking sir!

 

[Space Cadet]

Lovely car (and house), I think black wheels would realy suit it and tie in with the bumpers.

 

[Gally]

I'm not going to lie... it's superb. I love the FN2 anyway, especially in Silver and Red.

Perfect example mate. Not lowered at all? Sits perfect even on the bone crushers!

 

[Gally]

Lovely car (and house), I think black wheels would realy suit it and tie in with the bumpers.

Hopefully he won't do that.

 

[Munson]

That looks f**king excellent!

Great cars. Such an amazing engine and gearbox. GT-spec is pretty baller as well, and that GT bumper pack really finishes it off. Are you suffering any corrosion yet on the Rages?

 

[Turkish]

Agreed, when one of the details on a wheel is a diamond cut/polished face to highlight against a darker part of the wheel painting the lot black makes it all look a bit pony/cheap IMO.

 

[Djw Dave]

Looks lovely that.

 

[.Adam.]

Bloody awesome Ian. Really like it.

 

[Munson]

I actually think the design was so far ahead of its time, they look fresh now. If you'd never seen one previously, you'd be forgiven for thinking that is a brand new model.

Shame I had to cancel my order back in the day (same colour, same GT spec with Rages but no GT bumper pack - don't think it was an option then). Really nice car to be in.

OH and your house is amazing. I'd be proud rolling up on that drive of an evening :approve:

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

A guy at work has just purchased the Mugen version, It's in white & looks superb,

I think are a decent buy second hand and i was tempted until i got an insurance quote!

 

[JD]

Give a damn if you're not a detailer, it looks superb, Ian.

 

[not normal dan]

Stunning car, I was very tempted by one of those few months back. Love the big 19"s

 

[Beef-Mc]

Nice car, better abode.

 

[MattT]

Sweet!
I so nearly bought Red, but went with Silver in the end - tough call!
Looks very tidy - love the GP kit, tis the only option mine doesn't have! I'd be interested to see how your Rage's are holding up too, mine are looking a little tarnished in places thanks to the polished finish. Would quite like a painted refurb if I'm honest, cut out the hassle. How is it for stone chips too Ian?

Love the gaff too btw!

 

[Ian_182]

Sorry guys Ive been a little busy this evening.Right,Matt and Roy the wheels are starting to tire in places.Couple of crap winters and road salt and crap and its game over.

Dont know whether to anthracite the wheels or get them re-done??? also the Honda paint is weak and there are a couple of belters as in stone chips on the front.

Christopher,i will be attacking the garage at some point.It used to be the show house so the walls inside are already papered in white.The carpet is green so will be going.Would love to have the floor done in that black and white squares that they seam to do a lot in America,but dont know the cost.A good thing is that theres a gas fire in there,obviously from when the sales ladies used to sit in there.

Gally,the car is totally standard.I know this because the wife hit a brick in the road and bent the shocker and when i ordered a new one with spring they are all coded Honda front/rear.The 19's just sit lovely in the arches i think.

Thanks for all the comments on the house BTW.We were either going to move up to this or i was having an E90 M3

She won,but I'm glad i moved really.Hopefully one day ill sell for a big profit and downsize and enjoy retirement

 

[Christopher]

You have a gas fire in your garage?

F*ck me, I'd live in there. Man cave.

Jealous.

 

[Will.]

Lovely car. Jealous of your garage too ffs.

 

[JParker]

someone's doing well

 

[Ian_182]

Ive never looked into whether there has been a house thread.I must do a search and post some pics.The garage is a must for a good clearout in the summer.

 

[Turkish]

Garage that size and a heater is a perfect excuse for a kit car project and the Civic, who needs an M3 the current house/car combo is cracking mate.

 

[ch!ppen]

As said, nice car and nice house. I'm jealous.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Blooming lovely house & car Ian!!!

Id be incredibly proud of both tbh

 

[Jonny1*2]

There is a car in those pics more house pics please lovely house and motor Ian

 

[Al_G]

Lovely motor mate!

Out of interest how big is your garage? Is there a dividing wall or is it one big garage?

 

[aucky]

Tidy

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Lovley Ian, a car appreciate when i see but dont hve a desire to own...!

Didnt you hail from Ecosse?

 

[Ian_182]

Hi danny,yes i moved from scotland when i was 6 or so.When the docks closed basically.I was born in east kilbride.

 

[Ian_182]

Ill try to find the size of the garage.And yes its one big space.

 

[Rob]

Got to say, I totally agree with Roy (for once).

When these came out they looked almost space aged, now they blend in nicely with other new models.

I'm not the biggest fan of the normal one, but the Type R looks so much more aggressive that I actually really like it. Also like the rare factor too.
