I've never driven one so can't comment on how they drive, but for looks I would say it's the best looking type r for me. I think a lot of the hate came from car journos since the ep3 was so good to drive. But all honda's respond really well to mods anyway, so stock figures never really mean much in the long term.

[@pawegeryk898]

I own one. As a whole car, not just performance, its a much better car than people claim. Its way more rounded than a EP3, its way more usable day to day so you get to enjoy the car more, and you still have many features than make your life easier without them getting in the way.

Again where these cars really shine, faultless lap, zero temperature fluctuations, finished lap with more fuel than it started with, and had its neck absolutely rung the entire time. Cannot fault Honda's engineering. You could absolutely see the need for an LSD throughout this whole lap though. Even with the good tyres the Open Diff FN2 aren't kind to more than ~10-15kw more than stock.

VSA stands for Vehicle Stability Assist. It helps to keep cars handling correctly during cornering, particularly if the system's sensors detect understeer or oversteer. It's especially useful when different wheels have different amounts of grip, a situation that would normally lead to skidding or plowing.

[@yct6956]

What causes a Honda VSA light to pop up? VSA button in the Off Position Low Tire Pressure Faulty ABS Module Tire Issues Steering Angle Sensor Damage

Just ESP same as they all use different names for it depending on the system they use eg CBC ESC. Don’t need it anyway if you can actually drive.

[@anton.unseen]

I picked up an FN2 in a swap deal a few months ago. Been a semi-quiet Honda and VTEC fanboy for years, and although I never would've bought this car outright, I can happily say it's one of the best cars I've ever owned. It may be the "least desirable" Type R, but you can't deny the K20, the short ratio 6sp, the lightweight short wheelbase, it's bucket loads of fun at all speeds. P.S. mine is for sale, so hopefully the values go up after this video :D

VTEC' . And you are not supposed to just play with it. The flashpro standard map is too rich and needs to be custom tuned on a dyno to give everything it got.

[@volvo09]

​@@golf1diesel luckily it's a durable engine and can handle abuse. I got a datalog from someone who supercharged their k20 and was running it on a basemap for months... WOT AFR was 17.0! I couldn't believe he hadn't blown the engine. For the datalog i asked for a 3rd gear pull and this fool sends me a datalog ripping it up to 120mph with that poor tune, so you know he ragged the hell out of it everywhere. One hell of an engine.

[@golf1diesel]

​@@volvo09 They even strengthened the oil pump compared to the Japanese K20A..." Englishman don't check oil" . My FN2 lacked 0.5 liters of oil when I bought it..I know..mistake buying from Birminstan..had that car for 4 years and modded it.

I had an FN2. I once changed from 3rd, at the redline, and caught second instead of fourth by accident and put 11k + rpm on the motor. And nothing happened. It’s a monster of an engine. I quite miss mine, sounded very much like this one
