OR get a ep3 and spend 10g on it
10x better than fn2
i wont even look at a fn2 in honda showroom..
I would agree with xqwzit and buy a ep3 and mod that OR mod your FD ( engine wise ) and try to have the same performance as the FD2R, that would be fun.
But in the end its up to you what you feel like doing.
Well went to honda today and got qouted for brand new black type r
which would be ready in a week...
It ended up being between 11-13 grand change over price with my civic
but they will have to do a full inspection of my car.
So just thinking how to prepare my car for the weekend. At the moment
there is a muffler on it is it worth taking it off and putting the stock sport
muffler on with the chrome tips. 50dollars to change that.
Take my rims off and put stock 16inch honda civic sport rims back on which
have only been 2000kms so are pretty much brand new.
tell me what you guys think is best....im gettin excited haha
why dont u climb aboard the ep3 train and purchase a jdm ep3 civic type r =p quicker then the new type r and if u want a good track car ep3 is the car for u hehehe GO ON DO IT ! ! !
Also i got my car dyno'ed recently. Its stock as a rock and pumps out 119.3kw at the wheels. The ep3 is a rocket ! ! !

haha dont worry ive seen everything you have written about ur ep3.
They sound good but i dont like the shape or look of them. Spose its
just a personal opinion plus im not going to be thrashing it to hard or
racing it so doesnt really matter that much about speed just something
to have a little fun in.
I would go for the FN2.The $10,000 mods would be great however I doubt that you will get even 10% of the money you spent when you sell it or worse ,trade it in.
If you want something with power forget the the GTI. I don't know what some people are thinking recommending one of the slowest factory turbos on the market with spongy handlingIf you don't prefer the Fn2 go for a Megane RS and if your budget allows it go for the cup version with the upgraded sports suspension.
When did the FN2 become a rocketship?
A simple ECU reflash nets the 2.0FSI Turbo a healthy 192kW and 400nm of torque. You wanna show us how a K20 can get 45kW from less than $2k?

He we go, another one on the GTI bandwagon.
If you think that the GTI is Sooo fast buy one then.A simple reflash on a Megane will give you 210 Kw and 420 NM.You want to keep on goin with examples?
The FN2 is not a rocket ship,but neither is the Golf GTI.Start mucking around with turbos you better know what changes need to be made if you want your motor and drive train to survive.
the New type R will always be worth it for resale alone, think about how much DC2's are still going for and thats for an at minimum 7 year old HONDA. and about the EP3 route if you damage an EP3 how are parts for them over here, i know we have the four door hatch but do parts change over?
