Bro, if i were you, i'll get the ori FD2R, save all the time+hassle+money to convert this and that..Btw, yr current FD was bought new or used?..If u din lose a lot of money then sell it off and get this:

p/s: ORI is still the best IMHO..

Buy a real FD2R cause no matter how you modify your FD2, it will never match/be the real thing, especially since your FD2 is automatic.
Btw, 170K for a FD2R is too expensive, many are selling around 150 nowadays.

Better get original one, ive done some converting from my FD1, to visual as FD2R ive done converting exterior & interior of FD2r...and done nearly Rm25k of 2nd Original Item...if u plan to convert to FD2r this is summary of total cost 1)interior = RM10k 2)exterior = RM10k, 3)Engine K20A+Gbox 6speed manual+brembo= RM25k, Total cost approx 45k..not include time/installation/problem unidentified such like wiring plus u still dont get strenghten chasis as ori FD2R...yours is FD2 FL rite..RM130k + RM45k = RM170k bro..so better choose the Ori FD2r..

Sell ur present honda cos de market for civic 2.0 is still good.

Get urself an ori fd2r. Not worth converting it from ur present car.

 

[VTEC LoVeR]

yes agreed... sell/keep your FD1 as daily drive, and buy a FD2R for pranggggggg.....

 

[hondadiehardfans]

bro, did u already convert ur fd2 or buy the R ?

 

[sb3]

Just for your info, someone from the 8th gen just swap the cams and piston to type r (including reflash ecu) for just under 10k. Dynoed run yield ard 180whp! Of course if u want the type r suspension, brakes, interior, exterior , mt, stiffer body, get the ori JDM TYPE R..

Keep your car and get another DC5.........yummmy......if the funding permits....
If not sell your car since you still get good price..... then get the real one
FD2R or DC5..... both are yummy to me

 

[Supra_Fanatics]

No point converting, is like should I get an EVO 3 or convert my wira to EVO3? Surely there are differences at the end of the day
and not worth the time and money when u can get the original one if you can afford it.

 

[ken yeang]

Buy ori....

Personally, I think conversion is lame. Damn malu if parked next to a real one. Of course, its just me...

Both you and your wife can afford new civic and murano...just go ahead and buy lah. But remember..you can no more going back but rev hard.
