I have never seen FD1 type R on the roads in here. If you direct import it will cost around 6 million i hope.

Back in late 08 I visited Stafford and asked bout ne FD2 Type Rs and they said they brought one down for a guy working for British Airways, I didnt know BA even had an office here.

The RED RR looks gr8 saw it on Vajira Rd once.

Thanks guys for all the insights and yes im refering to a Stock FD2 Type R not a Mugen RR. I have seen the red Mugen in Colombo as well..dont know who it belongs to though.

I used to own a 2007 Honda Civic 2 door with the I-VTEC 2.0 engine. Real neat ride and can answer any questions you have on them?

Cheers,

Chris

Would be good if you can find out about where the maintanance is done and whther parts are available. When i say parts, parts for servicing.. Thanks.

There is a silver fd2 typre r on its way. should be here end october

[CMR555]

Well brake pads are the same as the FD2.........So is the oil filter and most other maintenance parts.....anyway going to the dealer for this car for parts is stupid cause in SL the HONDA AGENTS only look into their big number cars........there'll never be another Mugen so I doubt they give a damn about it. Anyway to order the Mugen original parts for anything like the bodywork even you need to have an ownership document and go Honda direct or through the agents for the mother company to to trust your claim. Either way getting parts for this car is probably gonna be as hard as getting any part for a rare car here in SL...Go for private specialized importers for these kinda parts. Do not go to the dealership!!
