Hi Shauny.
Here is things I have ran across since buying my Fn2 last month.
1. Clunky gear box - had the had box oil changed which made a great difference.
2. Engine oil level. - I learned that these cars drink the oil just like they drink the petrol. The car also won't VTEC properly if the oil levels are low, the VTEC light won't come on when the oil is low.
3. The bushes on these cars aren't the best. I
would inquire about these and the suspension arms. - I had to have the right suspension arm replaced last week!
4. Air conditioning Gas - this is something I also had to have refilled.
5. Watch out for the short clutch lol

Other than that the car is immense. I bloody love it. Lol
