I want an FK2 Type-R but I'm scared. Should I be?
Discussion
Hello,
After much pondering, I really want an FK2 next. I drove one yesterday and it was wonderful.
After digging deeper though, I'm surprised by some of the issues they have. Gearbox I'm not overly concerned about and neither is cooling, I'm not going to be doing any trackdays. But the head gasket is a real concern and I don't think I'd enjoy ownership all that much if I was waiting for the HG to fail.
Suppose I could replace it pre-emptively but that's not going to be a small bill.
Interested to get owners' thoughts.
It was of course sorted for the FK8 but I much prefer how the FK2 looks.
Cheers
