leyton72 Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 Here’s some pics of my blue coupe everyone (sorry it’s icy cold this morning), unfortunately it has major lacquer peel as seems to be quite common with these American built coupes. It does have a good Honda history and was owned from new by my local Honda garage until a local gentleman bought it. I think it has 1 previous owner on the log book. The FRV is my daily driver and have owned it for over 6 years now, it is the ES spec and has a lovely manual 6 speed gearbox.

Site Subscriber’s Josh98 Posted December 13, 2022 Site Subscriber’s Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 Your coupe's both look like fantastic projects, looking forward to seeing what you decide to do with them 🙂 I don't know much at all about FRV's, I always tend to notice them when i'm out and about but they always look abused 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between myself and the Mrs (she drives a golf) we average about 5k miles a year. Sometimes I drop the kids off to school in the green coupe, can’ t resist the sound of the exhaust note. Got the FRV booked in for the mot, i’ve just changed the number plates as they were weathered and cracked and also changed the wiper blades, might also need two tyres. Just hope it doesn’t need any major welding or anything as I recently spent a small fortune on a new clutch and flywheel for it all fitted by my local Honda garage to the tune of just over £1,300!! I asked around and everyone quoted over £800 for a clutch and around £400 for a flywheel. 😤 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also they are not as long as people carriers or SUV’s so easier to park. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just about to do a Jazz clutch, shuddering badly, hope the flywheel is ok ! £400 gulp !!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, unfortunately the flywheel was quite badly worn apparently, they said they could just fit the clutch, but the car wouldn’t drive properly and will keep juddering. Since this was my main car, I had no choice but to get it sorted ☹️ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators hughezee Posted December 17, 2022 Administrators Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 Nice looking blue coupe under that frosty finish. 😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leyton72 Posted December 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 Thanks mate, yeah you’re right it does look quite nice in that frosty finish😂. Unfortunately doing the bodywork is a challenge when you’re open to the elements. Just need some good weather for a week to tidy up the paintwork, too much to ask for in December i guess😂😂. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
