I Bought A Cheap Honda Civic Type R FN2

On this video I was going to buy a Vauxhall Astra which turned out to be a bit rough around the edges so I decided to show you one of my latest purchases...
A 2008/08 Honda Civic 2.0 VTEC Type R GT FN2! Only a brief walkaround but hopefully you enjoy!
Sorry for limited content but I have been so busy lately! Hope you're all keeping well!

She’s a beauty ❤ in my opinion, Iv always wanted one to be honest. Looking forward to seeing you getting her back to her former glory 🎉

Shouldn't take too much! If it was an EP3 I think the Logbook would be going in my name! Still a great car to drive, so different to the modern hot hatches but I like that 👌

Labour trade price for timing chain replacement shouldn't be more then £150.

[@FlippinMotorsUK]

I don't think my mechanic has done one so it's a bit unknown. He's £50 an hour but does look after me on some of the bigger jobs. Still not got round to it yet!

[@honda.spares.man1]

@FlippinMotorsUK it's fairly easy, plenty of guides online and on KZbin. He will need to get honda bond to seal the timing chain case back on, cheaper stuff leaks or doesn't stick too well.

@@honda.spares.man1 great thanks for the heads up. It also came with a special tool to do the crank pulled

Great video I own a fn2 had it three years mint car 🚗

[@FlippinMotorsUK]

I can't lie I've been having some fun in this! Probably top up the fuel get it on some back roads over the Bank Holiday

[@uygar2580]

We have Type-R group with friends, ep3's fn2's fk2 and fk8's there. you breaking fn2's heart with this title. EP3 guys keep overvalue their cars :D, they become almost same price with fk2's here

[@FlippinMotorsUK]

I've always wanted an EP3 but at least this satisfied the VTEC craving ha! Good but not great like the EP3 in my eyes!

[@TonyM444]

Looks good for its age

[@FlippinMotorsUK]

Yeah nice example! Previous owner had it 6 years

[@flippingcarsrepairs]

Suprise this isnt rot as they all seemed to be 😁😁

[@FlippinMotorsUK]

First Honda I've ever bought! Most Japanese cars have rust issues, I think Mazdas are worst from personal experience by far! Anthony from Budget Bangers did a video on a 2009 Mazda 2 and half the boot floor was missing!

[@flippingcarsrepairs]

@FlippinMotorsUK yes totaly agree 👍 I saw that video it was crazy rotten 🤣

[@DaleSteel]

I stay away from vauxhalls

[@FlippinMotorsUK]

I did for a little while but I always seem to do good money off them, very quick sales uo here in the North East and not had any major issues especially the diesels so I struggle to turn them down if they're a good price

[@DaleSteel]

@@FlippinMotorsUK what models do you do well?

[@FlippinMotorsUK]

@DaleSteel I've done quite a few DS3 and C4 but only the 1.6 hdi ones. I like a Fiat 500/Punto too and never done bad off an Insignia 2.0 diesel either. Done a few Minis too.
