FK2 or FD2 & mods?
Discussion
Simple question really, I've been looking at buying a Honda and I've narrowed it down to those two. I love the speed and refinement of the FK but I have an rs6 for that job so I have now been chatting with BHP about importing an FD. The FD seems raw and a good antidote to the rs6s flaws. Any advice from owners of them would be aprecatded also as an aside I wanted a dc2 but the insurance is about half the value of the car so that annoyed me and the ek9 is too slow for me, plus 4 doors is a bonus.
Firstly thanks so much for that comprehensive response!
size isn't an issue I'm a skinny youth the tighter the bolsters the better!
I don't need four doors its just much easier, I did look as DC5's but they're just not my cup of tea; the looks and the interior are not for me but i do love the seats.
the other car I had considered is a DC2 which I love but it seemed like the FD was the modern interpretation, I have also thought about ATR which is appealing as the price is so low atm value is great.
Im just torn as to what Type R I should buy I want an exciting car that i want to just take for a drive for pleaser
Any opinions much appreciated

Money isn't really an object up until silly expensive hondas like the NSX I wanted peoples opinions on Type R's it sounds like the FD is still a purist type r and true to the brand i.e. stripped out revvy and rewarding? Is the K series as entertaining as the B/H series engines are?
Sorry for all the questions but getting seat time is super hard!

The DC5 is a great car I'm sure but I'm just not keen on them and i don't want to compromise! I would love a DC2 but I'm worried by the age they are over 20 years old now and a lot haven't been looked after 100%. I do like ATR but again i can't find one that hasn't been abused or defaced cosmetically unless silly high miles.
I think I'm off the idea of an FK2 for the time being although every time i see the local one they do look super aggressive!

In the process of buying an fk8 which is a fantastic car. I decided the fd2 isn’t very road friendly it’s fantasic 2% of the time when your up it on a Welsh B road at 8500 rpm but for easy overtakes and fast road driving the K20C1 is a better engine. The FK2 is a great car it just isn’t a polished as the FK8. Buy an FD2 for JDM cool points or track car or specialness you’d need to spend 60k or more to get the same specialness maybe a Porsche GT car or M car. As I side note I did need to k20 in my life so I now have an EP3 track car so I get the k20 screamer out of my system. Hope that helps
