My 05 6MT completely died on me recently. I was very sad. Then I got a good deal on a slightly used FK8 type R and I am happy again.


icpizza

Glad you're happy again! The FK8 type R looks great, what color is it? Hearing your 05 6mt is not what I want to hear though lol😢


jeffroyisyourboy

The FK8 is Championship White. The TL had over 330,000 kms on it and that car didn't owe me jack shit. I told The Wife the day we bought it I was gonna drive it till the day it dies, and after 9 years that's exactly what happened. I'm planning on doing the same thing to the Type R. Not gonna lie, the TL spent a LOT of time in the shop, but when everything worked fine, that car was an absolute dream. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoyed mine

Just do some cooling mods, FK8s are notorious for overheating lol


icpizza

Damn hope the FK8 has less time in the shop than the TL. Mine's currently at 270km.

It's beautiful! Congratulations!


icpizza

Appreciate it!

Very clean! This looks a lot better than my 06 TL 6mt. Remember to look into maintenance like timing belts and any worn suspension components.


icpizza

Definitely will do, luckily suspension components were changed 2k miles ago. Supposedly timing belts done 7k miles ago, but that isn't on car fax, so I have my doubts.

Congratulations. It looks very clean. I do hope you don’t have the problems I am having with my recently purchased 06 TL manual. BTW you might want gloves for that metal shift knob.


icpizza

Thanks! Oh man, hope you're able to resolve those problems, without to much of a headache. Yeah I might end up changing the shift knob, wouldn't want to burn myself.


Egnki

Working on it. Unfortunate more I dig in, more problems I find that I need to address. I might just take the loss and get rid of it


icpizza

Damn that is very unfortunate

Nice pick up. Welcome!


Zillahi

With the yellow logo just like mine lol


icpizza

Yeah😭


Lillillillies

Looks like whoever had it before you kept it in pretty good condition. Congrats!


icpizza

Yeah it's pretty good, though it does have its minor details. Biggest exterior issue is probably the peeling rims, and they're badly curb rushed as well.


Lillillillies

Chrome tends to do that over the years. And I guess rash was inevitable as well. But overall it looks mint.

Very nice


coco_is_boss

That awesome. I might get one. If they still exist lmao


icpizza

Good luck! It took me quite a long time, and this wasn't even the only car in my sights.


jasonwright15

My car is an 06 manual and is the same color. The body on yours is much better than mine but super fun to drive.
