    Don't get me wrong FD2'S are amazing and i love them !! A great fun little track car , But to be honest I wish Honda had kept with RECARO for there seats instead of doing there own thing , I personally think a Red or a Black optional color seat of a SR7 Recaro would of topped the whole package off (plus keeping it modern in the interior) , even if it was for the jdm market for the fd2 , ... As the stock seats are / seem a little tacky, after years of recaro's that try a little hard but are not that real R thing , ....

      @@alexwilson9776 oh awesome !! They will look great , very similar to the mugen RR seats right ? .. or tho the rr seats are still back adjustable.... Yeah as you know been a car guy about the recaros line the R hondas Na1s Na2s ek9s dc2s db8s cl1s dc5s ep3s cl7s all had recaros , so to chuck the linage away really annoyed me , . Or tho putting in aftermaket Recaos in is a way to go its kinda just not the same right , as silly as that sounds , if i had the money at the time buying a new fd2r , or and if there was an option for them you would honestly just tick it even if it was 3 to 4 grand more (nzd) at the time or tho i guess thats personal taste , .. and it doest take away the fact fd2r is a amazing R chassis at all with the k20a and box/lsd, body rigidity, bodystyling , breaking, etc

      Variety. Some channels get stuck on 1 or 2 marques and inevitably won't go anywhere as they are only appealing to a small proportion of enthusiasts. Unfortuantely this channel is stuck on Hondas and the odd BMW.
