Info needed on roro FD civic

Postby **2NR Smurf** » October 15th, 2014, 9:53 am

Guys im thinking about selling my ES and getting a roro fd. Ive noticed they come with either a 1.8l R series or a 2.0l K series engine.
My question is which would be the better buy in terms of parts availability and long term reliability? Do they both use the same transmission and what other differences are there?

Also are there any known problems they suffer from?

Thanks.

Boy I want to buy one and I trying to find out the same thing... So far I haven't heard of any probs with them. The R18 is an upgrades d-series(sohc). The 2.0l is dohc so compatablility is a no no... I stand to be corrected by anyone if I'm wrong.... Based on my research d R18 seems to be performing great, but my only concern is whether used parts are available or not in body, engine and suspension

I was told that the paddle shifter equipped 2.0L tends to have transmission problems.

Need some more info on the FD2. Anyone know which dealer has in stock in trinidad or I have to order it?

I've seen a type R model sold for 185,000.

I like the spacious interior.

Yeah I is a mitsuman eh but I like the look of the fd type civics. Yeah them prices wayy too far out. Might just have to settle with the 1.8

Hada look for an original bodykit and spoiler cause it aint coming with none.

thanks bro for the info..
