Thanks for the detailed response bro. Look they said they ordering parts for me. Do you think I should ask them to hang on based on what ur telling me?

No I'm only on this forum. My JDM days started in the late 1990s and after purchasing an S2k in 2005, got properly involved on forums local and international. Club meets etc. I bought the FL5 typically for some track day fun. MY2023 and I've only done 5000 kms. I sold the S2k some years back and haven't been on any platforms since. How's the current JDM car culture? Which city are you in?
I don't want to put you off man. But I think there's a reason you decided to check forums before proceeding. Go with your gut. Even if there ordered it, you can just hold off until you feel comfortable.

In my case if I didn't have the ticking sound I wouldn't have pursued asking them about the recall until they called me. My luck for being proactive lol

S2Ks are special. Asking prices are through the roof when I last checked for well kept ones. I lost track for a bit as well, the FN forums and groups got quiet. Was more of a casual. But it seems the CTR scene is still alive. And the Honda scene in CT seems to be most active. I can't speak to other brands but there are JDM meets every now and then.

Son your FL comes out on special occasions :) , good mileage. My FL is a daily. If you're keen on joining the FL group drop me a dm. There's good advice and school fees paid lol. I'm based in Jhb (north ish), but the group has members from all over, but no pressure.

Yip. I've seen good 2005/6 examples sell for as much as 500k. We paid 365k brand new back in 2005.
