It will be very difficult to find a good condition one as most owners will not sell it, or expect top dollar for well looked after one. The ones at the used car lot are in terrible appalling condition that’s why they’re “ cheap “ .The FD2R common problems is the wear and tear parts, ball joints, suspension link Rubber bushings. Easily replaced and fixed. Won’t cost as much as a conti, replacing one part of a conti u can restore a Type R wear and tear items including labor 🤣. This car is fast becoming a collectors item and is still abundant in Malaysia
As We used to be one of the few countries to get it outside
Of japan new.

QUOTE(Alternation @ Jan 10 2019, 10:08 AM) Have you considered an mx5? It's has all the appeal. Drop top, fun, speed, good looking and pretty civilised when needed. Any type r is intended to be enjoyed at insane dangerous speed and shrunken balls might speed up ED too lol. LOL 😂 but it feels damn stable at insane speeds. |

QUOTE(pillage2001 @ Jan 9 2019, 11:48 PM) Thanks for the reply....you're right, I am prolly vague with my question when I asked if it was abused. LOL. I am sure people buy the FD2R to be driven like a person out of time . Totally have no issues with that and if they are not redlining the engine, they mind as well settle for a FD2. I've even okie if the previous owner service according to time with Honda oil....but just want to make sure that there's no lapse in periodic maintenance......Actually, I read a few places where people say Ron95 is okie for the engine but given the high compression ratio of the engine, I was wondering why people said it's okie........ I was looking on more if there are any known issues which Honda did not fix and also any habitual maintenance that you guys do. I am not looking to mod the car if I ever get it but to have it as a daily driver to work and what not. Speaking of which. This question is moot but alot of people complained about the suspension too stiff, as you know, our msian roads are hopeless.....given your track record of cars owned, I am pretty sure you are used to the stiffness, I drive and Accord now, what do you think if I were to move to a FD2R? I had Koni Yellow with Eibach on my Accord before and it was abit too much too take. lol Ohlins suspension can fix the hardness problem... but 10k++++ Worth every penny in my book. |

QUOTE(pillage2001 @ Jan 10 2019, 04:26 PM) Fd2r no known problems bro. Just usual wear and tear. The problem is the stock suspension which is too hard Which is track bias. Just change to ohlins... settled. |

You can go for HKS type IV suspension around 8k Nice balance also for road and track.but ohlins is better. Or just go BC racing.... it’s okay la better then stock on road but don’t expect to keep up with the newer cars in corners. |

QUOTE(6UE5T @ Jan 13 2019, 01:46 PM) Because the suspension is not as stiff as the FD2R hence more comfortable for daily drive. Agree and got easy turbo power, BUT I know quite a few people who crashed their Megane when driving close or at the limit. Almost all was lift off over steer. Anyway maybe driver problem....  |
