Later model CTR question
Discussion
Hi guys. Just looking at cars on PH and looking at CTR's for around the 10-11 k mark. You can get a really nice 08 model with 19's for that. My question is about the championship white model. They seem to be more like £15000. Are they really worth 5k more for the colour and LSD? 15 is getting into 350z money and opens up a lot of other options.
Hear from you soon!

I agree with VeeTec. 15k gets you a proper Type R http://www.fd2-owners.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=... You may need to join up to see that, but it's a lovely 58 plate Vivid Blue Pearl FD2 with 13k miles, new tyres and a couple of other goodies... and it's £15k.
I'd snap that up in an instant if I were in your position. The FD2 is infinitely better than the FN2.
edited to add price of the FD2

I do like that car a lot and always wanted one but £15,000 starts to get me into a lot of other cars. If I was spending 15 I probably wouldn't buy a Civic even though I know that is a true Type R. My main worry about imports and the DC5 are the cars being clocked. It is terrible on Jap Imports in Australia and I just read it is rampant over here.
I love that FD2 but I am thinking more of spending £10,000 if it was going to be on a Civic. I like the EP3 but I would only buy that if my budget was more like 7-8. I would prefer something a bit newer unless my financial position changes. Under £8,000 and I would either buy an EP3 or BMW 325ti.
Also I heard that the FD2 ride is seriously harsh. Great on a track but hard to live with as a daily. Is this true?

I wouldn't worry too much about clocking on the newer stuff (EP3, DC5, FD2), especially something as new as the FD2 above, but i can understand you wanting to look at other options for that kind of money.
The FN2 is a rather firm ride, and would be particularly harsh on the 19in wheels. I'd stick to the 18's, without a doubt.

The ride on the FN2 is hard whatever you run on.....firmly set up, with torsion beam at the back.....19s look MUCH better.
One thing.....getting a good geometry set up makes a big differnce to them, as it did with the EP3.....toyos are a softer tyre well suited to the car too.....eibach springs can also help.
