Second Hand Honda Civic

[DefecteD]

^^^^^ Link broken??

my bad! cant get the links now but take a look on autotrader, they all there!

 

[Grimspoon]

Yeah, my civic eats breaks!
also a set of wiper blades - R1000 , what a rip off
very good car though, havent had a problem and had since new, 2007 model

When I was looking at buying the Accord, the dealer was pretty up front with me about the brakes. He said they are made from a softer compound and thus wear quicker and are not that cheap.
I appreciated his honesty. I can't seem to remember why Honda's brake pads are made from a softer compound though.

FD2.....

FD2 (left) - FN2 (right)

 

[Grimspoon]

Can't say I have ever seen a FD2. Is that newer or older than the FN2 :wtf:

 

[DefecteD]

Uhmmmm, very sorry to burst your bubble, but that is a FN2 NOT a FD2??

never said anything about FN2 - sorry to burst your bubble!

Softer compound provides better braking if I'm not mistaken.

Thought you said you can buy some of them for around R170 000??

Honda don't sell them here, its the Japanese Type R. The proper Type R

 

[Creature]

[DefecteD]

[FarligOpptreden]

NEVER!!!!

Apparently it does fall in the continuum of time though, because I did and never regretted the decision!

 

[Creature]

Hahhahahahaha, I was reffering to FD2, but anywho......

 

[Ono'rach]

Please explain the difference between FN2 and FD2?

FN2 = sedan? Only difference?

 

[FarligOpptreden]

Please explain the difference between FN2 and FD2?

The one is a Civic SEDAN and the other is a Civic HATCH.

 

[Ono'rach]

The one is a Civic SEDAN and the other is a Civic HATCH.

So mechanically they are the same? We don't get the sedan here do we?

FD2 has a different engine in it. More powerful than FN2

Isn't the suspension setup also different? IIRC they tested both on Fifth Gear and the difference around their track wasn't THAT much, even though the FD2 was noticeably harsher to drive.

Correct.... Still a good looking thing that though
