Been thinking about a CTR EP3 as a track toy and found this clip.

Not seen it before.

Danny will be on in a bit to say that it's a fantastic car but it's far too raw for the Uk roads.

It's a shame as from what I've heard it's probably Honda's best chassis since the NSX.

They did. They came to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland too.

Via import.

Honda's best chassis since the NSX was the S2000's, which used similar geometry.

The FD2's chassis sort of proved that Halford's tuning measures do work very effectively on the track, but are unsuited to UK roads. The F-series' suspension may be boring on paper, but it's fundamentally good nonetheless.

Coilovers is all it really needs and then it's probably perfect Although I prefer my S3 because it does what I need it to do, the FD2 is worse than the S2k in the snow
