Hello everyone!

I've joined up as I've just bought a Champ White Type R and am looking for help on how the hell to keep the wheels clean!

I'm a member of a couple other Honda forums as I've just moved from an Accord (for 6 months LOL) after owning an EP3 Type R for 4 years before that.

First impressions of the FN2 are much better than I was expecting after the number of people that seem to bash it compared to the EP3.....although I haven't driven a non-LSD FN2 so not sure how those compare...

Here's the only pic I've got at the moment, just after picking it up when it was clean:

Anyway I'm sure I will be on here often - bye for now....

Can't believe some EP3 owners would dis the FN2, next you'll be hearing of 8th gen owners rubbishing the 9th gen .....

Welcome mate,

Nice car

I used to own the ep3 for a long period of time also.

The FN2 is twice as good overall in my opinion!

Hello & welcome.

Wheels, you will need either Iron-X or Autobrite Purple Rain, also some Tardis. Once you have used these products then you need to seal the wheels with a good wheal sealant. Then wash them weekly. This should give you some ideas on the process http://www.civinfo.com/forum/cleaning/70789-wheel-off-now-waiting-magic.html

Good luck

hello and welcome...

i wish they had done white earlier ... i would have preferred white

don't listen to fn2 bashers, most have never owned one and quote clarkson's review on top gear as proof.

...both are wrong...its a great hatch, fun, quick, great looking inside and out, more tuning potential than you would think and overall a better car the the ep3.

wouldn't argue its not much faster or quite as track orientated but you take your pick and enjoy....
