Having owned an FN2, FK2 and FK8, and going back to FK2 - I can confirm it is indeed the best of the lot.

@NickEnglishPhotography1 11 ай бұрын

How come Vs the FK8?

@adriaanduminy2910 11 ай бұрын

@@NickEnglishPhotography1 FK2 is more hardcore. Seats are better, the plane of the shifter (it's at 45° if that makes sense, compared to horizontal on FK8), suspension is more hardcore. They both have equally dead steering, and independent rear on FK8 makes it more playful and allows more rotation, but the diff on the FK2 feels more aggressive too, so you don't ever feel like you need the rotation when the diff can claw you out of a corner.

Is the size of the car a inconvenient for nimble driving? I own a Ep3 and the FK2 looks too large and heavy.

@adriaanduminy2910 11 ай бұрын

Re nimble - it’s light years ahead of an ep3. I’ve had mine around millbrook several times with professional instruction and it is incredible what the FK2 can do. I had Dc2 integra for 23 years then went to FK2. Drove the ep3 when it first come out and that was not as good as the Integra.

Would love a fk2 always been out of budget when it came to getting a new car. I was the proud owner of a ep3 and fn2 both cracking cars. The premier edition ep3 tho is a gem. Some of these later models were fitted with the jdm k20a engine and the gearbox with the factory lsd so that may be worth checking but either way it’s certainly a proper gem.

Hi Calvin, if you have a track nearby it would be good to see you doing lap times in the cars your testing. Straight line acceleration is good and all that but handling also plays a major factor in a cars total performance. Lap time leaderboard like Top Gear… ;-)
