That's so kl that you've had it that long. I have a fn2 type s coming upto my first year. and yes I can agree that the engine is great, even when you challenge the engine, it always responds great. I couldn't find a low mileage type r so just went for a low mileage type s. I hope to have it for a very long time. Reliable and good looking cars!

I had a 1 owner CW for 7 years. Number 234. Loved it. Had a GP kit on it for about 500 miles and removed it. Preferred standard look (still have the the GP kit in their boxes if anyone is interested) I had Goodyears on mine and it would rarely spin. LSD is great. There was 2000 worldwide. 600 for UK. The white plaque is numbered out of 2000 so there is some UK cars numbered 6xx.

The FN2 was faster around the Top Gear track than the EP3 and there was never a drag race on Top Gear, only a negative review from Jeremy Clarkson even though Top Gear rated it the best hot hatch the year it came out. Also they're pretty much neck and neck in acceleration, the FN2 has a better gearbox with shorter ratios. The EP3 is more nimble and raw buts its not more planted, although the K20A in the EP3 responds better than the K20Z4 to mods due to the exhaust layout and the FN2s oil pump.
