Back in February, after having my lovely, low mileage 172 for almost 5 years, I decided to sell it as I fancied a change and I'd always wanted to try a Honda Civic Type R. The car was sold to @AdamB182 and I found a really well kept 2010 Civic FN2. Six months later the FN2 is up for sale and I'm back in a Clio :smile:
For those that are interested, despite some negative reviews, I really like the FN2. Used as my daily it can be be credited with great build quality, a fabulous gearbox and engine and a lovely interior. However, I missed the sparkle of the Clio's handling which is a cut above the Civic which can feel slightly inert and the Clio's sense of fun when driven on my B road commute. So, thanks to @R-Sport Cars LTD I'm now the owner of this beautiful Cup Packed RB 182 FF. It's done just over 44k miles, has full history and is in genuinely stunning condition.
I messaged Steve a few weeks ago to see if he had anything and unusually for me, my timing was spot on as he was just in the process of getting it. Lots of PMs later, we agreed the sale and I picked it up last weekend. I cannot thank Steve enough, what a great bloke and he really went the extra mile to make sure the car was spot on when I collected it. There's not a mark on the paint and it even has the original splitter and also the original exhaust which in great condition bizarrely! Inside, it's mint and it's finished off with a Snappy wheel.
The only plans I have for it are to put some Cooksports on it (as it's on stilts right now and I had the same springs on my 172) and also to sell the standard exhaust on and replace it with a stainless of some sort. Longer term, I may replace the seats with some Recaros as the Honda CTR seats have really spoiled me these past few months! The car will be my daily for the next couple of years however my annual mileage is only 4k and then it will go in the garage and be kept forever next to my cherished 1991 white 1.9 205 GTi.
I'll keep this thread updates as I go and get some better pictures at the weekend
