I’m eyeing up a used Honda Civic Type R, but before I take the plunge, thought I’d ask you lot for some advice. Any known issues or red flags to watch out for? Specifically interested in the EP3 or maybe a later FN2. Any input would be great. ta!

      For these two generations, you should pay attention to the following:
      - VTEC is engaged at 5500 rpm
      - the timing chain should be changed every 75,000 km
      - the condition of the engine and gearbox mounts
      - the condition of the steering gear
      - the condition of the body and the absence of rust
