FN2 Civic Type R - The one they love to hate.

At the wheels.

After 18 brilliant months this is up for sale as I have put down a deposit on a Skoda Yeti to tow the MX5 to race meets among other things.

I've utterly adored this car and will be sad to see it go. PH for sale advert out there somewhere!

What link?

Now gone to its new home.

It's been a great ownership experience and I would recommend one to anybody. A truly great car and hot hatch.

Thanks for the write ups, they certainly were enjoyable to read. Too bad you didn't keep it, I don't think I will sell mine anytime soon. The Yeti will be more comfortable at least, no rock-hard suspension and all, but then again no 8,000 rpm redline either

Yes I'll certainly miss the Vtec (kicking in yo!) and the 8k red line but I do have the MX5 with it's insane charger whine. Now the 5 is considerably faster than the Civic it seemed the right time to move onto a sensible daily. We'll see how that lasts!

I sold this car 2.5 years ago and love that this thread has resurfaced.

I sold it to another PHr who has since sold it to a guy I know.

One of the few cars I genuinely miss. It was utterly brilliant in every way.

I think that helps yes.

Fit proper lowering springs. The standard springs on the FN2 are linear in their spring rate which is why it’s so crashy. Lowering springs from companies such as Eibach have a progressive spring rate.

The dampers are fine.
