They lost their contract with recaro when the fd2r was built. If you don't believe me check out interior pictures of them. I'm almost certain the fd2r and mugen rr don't have recaros but rather honda upholstered and manufactured their own "recaro styled" bucket seats.
Yeah went and checked out an FD1 today, Looks in good condition actually. 57,000km, full service history ect.
No accident history according to the dealer and revs, no odometer discrepancies and no finance owing on the car. The rear right quarter panel has been painted though because there was a tiny scrape up on the rear quarter from someone scratching it. The dealer showed me some photo's of the damage before it was fixed and it was only minor damage. Apart from that it needs 4 tyres and rear brake pads as they're around 20% depth thickness left. Clean interior, Paint condition was around 6.7-7/10 but would come up immaculate with a full 2 stage cut and polish which I can do myself. Has decent tyres on it so I know the owner wouldn't have cheaped out on tyres (turanza's). Could probably do with a full service too.
Perfect base to start my type r conversion I think. Tried lowballing him to 9,800 but he said 10,500 was his lowest. So I made my final offer of 10,250 and said if he doesn't accept I'm afraid I'll have to give it a miss.
He said he will contact me tomorrow so fingers crossed he accepts because this is a pretty good deal I'm getting I say. It's a black VTi-L...
