KiNK43 Posted October 29, 2023 Author Share Posted October 29, 2023 Hey,.. erm yeah I did some more mods on the crown and got it all set up beautifully. Put some lovely 4 pot brakes on etc. then got a bit twitchy with it because everything is so expensive for those cars. Realised was gonna take 10k minimum really before I'd be remotely happy with performance etc, so I'd be into it for over 20k by that point. And also I drive so Infrequently when I do go out I want something fun to drive , which nice as it was, it wasn't a fun car. So sold it. Genuinely gutted I sold my mb6 actually. Moment of madness. So been in a bit of a rut and a bit grumpy about cars. But have baught an fnPoo with some nice mods on. And plan to put my stamp on that and do some track days etc next year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Ah mate, was hoping that wouldn't happen with the civic. Wang some pics of the fn on though.. I'm liking them more the older they get... Same with the 8th gen accords. Hopefully it'll do the job on the track as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share Posted October 30, 2023 Yeah grown on me big time tbh. However I do feel I need a car I'm not too precious about for track duty. So that's how I ended up here in a red dog egg as me and me mates call them haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Aye, that worries me about taking the deck on a track... It's be so gutted if I binned it. Though I was looking at hill climb tracks the other day 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Ahh man, sorry it didn't work out with the Crown mate. Truely nice car but like you say, expensive in every way. Had a feeling you would get pangs about the mb6 mate. the amount of time, work and money you poured into it, plus how long you had it, was always gonna be a tinge of regret selling her. Know I felt physically sick after |I sold Ruby the first time, even more so when I saw what the muppet that bought her was doing to her! Wasn't as bad the 2nd time I sold her although still miss her even now. Glad you're back in a Honda though! I have mixed feelings over the FN2's but mostly good feelings! I love the styling more than I think any car I've owned (except my Mk3 Cortina's though!), just think they look so cool from any angle! Also best interior I've had by far! Only things I didn't like about the TypeR FN2 were the fuel consumption and the ride. Just far too stiff for me! Power was nice though but deffo was gonna loose my license if I'd kept Roxy! If I'm honest, think I prefered my FN1 typeS, as a daily anyways. But loved them both, just something about the FN Civics. Even now I'm still looking at them on autotrader! Deffo get a new project thread going for the Fn mate, would love to see where you go with it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted November 19, 2023 Author Share Posted November 19, 2023 I will do at some point. It's in bits at the minute. Already had some modifications on the car which are not done to (in my opinion) a good standard. So undoing a lot of crap whilst putting my stamp on it I guess. But not going to go mad just want to do some track days in 2024 then may look at selling it. Can't see myself getting madly attached to it tbh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
