The last photos of my cosmic Type r, 1 hour before i traded her in for red FN2

She had done 10.000 miles in two years.

So which one is better ? The fn2 or ep3 ?

Never mind you got a new one

Even though it`s still a great car it`s amazing how old fashioned the EP3 is suddenly looking compared to the FN2.

For colour when the sun is out ep3
For been a animal ep3 ( but not gone into v-tec in a full way yet )

Looks, inside fn2
Looks, outside fn2

It would be a hard choice for me... but if my 7gen CTR would be so young with such a low milage I would def. not sell it! (I think)

According some tests, reviews the EP3 turns better, is more balanced in corners and the back of the car "moves" more... the FN2 is a softer stuff, less hardcore with more understeer...

Understeer ? Oh dear, I must not have been cornering fast enough yet. I haven't had my tires slide towards the side in a corner once. The Potenza's eat road for breakfast.

yes, the RE050A is a superb tire!! I will def. buy a set of those after I have finished with the Michelins..

you should be careful where you want to find the limit of your car!!
don't try it on the street! that's extreme dangerous for you and for others also! take part on track days or go in a huge parking place at night when it's empty and make some sharp turns at different speeds

(I don't say that the FN2 is bad because of too much understeer.. it's a superb car but is a bit different compared to the EP3.. I wish I would own any of them

)
