Let's discuss the differences between the FK8 and FK2.

So far we know it's an entirely new chassis based on the global 10th gen platform.

They'll share the same K20C1 engine and transmission.

Gear ratios are slightly different. FK8 is geared towards faster acceleration.

@CTR1633FK2 can you comment on the oil filter used on the K20C1? Is it unique to the K20C1 engine, or is it the same filter used for all Honda engines?

Good thread.
I was going to set up a USDM vs CAD vs EDM/UK vs JDM differences thread with part numbers as they become available!

Does the FK2 have oil pressure, oil temp, and water temp read-outs? Helpful for people who track their cars.

Yes, oil pressure, oil temp, water temp, boost pressure, G-force meter, Brake pedal pressure, Throttle position.
Can the oil pressure, oil and water temps be displayed all at once? Or do you need to switch between different views?

The FK2 has another screen on top of the dashboard. The FK8 will probably only use the centre LCD screen with the tach.

I hope the FK8's digital dash has something that resembles the shift lights and gear position indicator in the FK2.

It'll have the shift lights. It can be seen in the Nurburgring lap record video. Not sure about the gear position though.

I think the gear is shown in the red box in the video above when you are in a gear driving?
