I have owned this car for approx 18 months now and have loved every minute of it, however I have just bought an FN2 at a bargain price so this car unfortunately has to go. It has been ultra reliable.
I bought it from a CTOR forum member in February 2010 with 105k miles on the clock and then used the car for the motorway trip to work covering approximately 1k miles a month until I moved jobs in November. The car is now on 115k miles but hardly uses a drop of oil between changes. It has MOT until April 2013 and tax until December 2012.
It has had a few modifications fitted but all the engine modifications will be removed this weekend apart from the AEM filter.
Mods included with the sale include:
Brenscivic rocker cover in blue
Spoon oil and rad caps
AEM V1 CAI with hydrosock
Mugen front splitter (blended into bumper)
Tinted headlights
JDM front ARB
Tein coilovers with EDFC
Grooved front discs with Yellowstuff pads
Alpine headunit with Ipod connector
Front polybushes
Mugen pedals
Energy mount inserts and gearbox polybush
The car has had a fast road setup carried out and handles great, the steering rack is free from creaks (common problem).
I had the timing chain and tensioner replaced at Eight Speed recently as a precaution due to the mileage and the engine spec at the time. The car also had a new Exedy clutch at 108k miles.
I have always ran the car on quality oil changed every 6k miles using genuine Honda filters.
The standard alarm was faulty when I bought the car so there is now a Laserline alarm fitted with certificates. The car has two keys and two alarm fobs. This car also has air conditioning which is ice cold.
The car is HPI clear with certificate to prove.
Problems I can think of with the car are as follows (please remember it is 10 years old now).
Display on the EDFC has clouded over at one end, still works fine to adjust damping though
Drivers seat has a worn bolster
Assortment of stone chips on the front end due to motorway miles
Few car park dings and small scratches/swirls in the paint (joy of black cars)
Wheels need a refurb desperately
Previous owner fitted Nankang front tyres and i've never bothered changing them
Slam panel has been trimmed for RBC inlet (neatly though)
Please note that any performance upgrades in the pictures are being removed on Sunday.
I'm looking for £3500 ono.
