#BangerOfTheWeek

[@CalvinsCarDiary]

If anyone has any great ideas for the civic let me know. Burning it is all thats coming to mind for me 🤣

[@lukebradley986]

Banger race it pal

[@AudiRS3.786]

Rebuild it as a project maybe or just scrap it

[@neil9242]

@@lukebradley986 I was going too say the same thing, Either banger or stock car.

[@rodneyporter3320]

Burn it immediately 😂😂😂

[@thoandr2]

I had a 08 from new - the early models have clutch and flywheel issues as well , honestly just set on fire and upload the video you’d make more in ads than you would from that. Shame as they are great to drive when not broken or in this case disintegrating

[@paul1978g]

This is what happens when people buy and own something without asking if they can afford it, then instead of spending what money they do have on maintaining the car properly, they spaff it on pointless "mods". I'm gutted this FN2 has been so badly mistreated. The spec is great, but it needs a bit of TLC to bring it back to the rightful condition. These may get a bit of "it's not an EP3 tho" hate now, but as the last NA engined Type R, I have no doubt there will be a sudden realisation that they've been overlooked and underappreciated. It's probablyy too late for this one, but hopefully there's lots more out there that have been treated properly.

[@steveberridge4648]

An absolute shed of a car - never seen an FN2 in such poor condition!!

[@Jay-dg6th]

Bolt on an eBay turbo and send it for the draggy times 😂 Ps - top the coolant up first tho ! 😁

[@e46spartan75]

Calvin! I would love to see a video of what’s actually wrong with the Type R. Don’t have to fix it. Maybe a video at VRS or nearby garage confirming what’s causing the smoke and overheating. A repair bill Ed how much it’s gonna cost. Loved this video man keep it up

[@szieee84]

I can answer ur question :) it is a valve seals :) about 20quid if u like fix things :D

[@chrisdev9839]

Where’s the 20-70 mph draggy times big man 😂😂 Loved this video. Made me laugh after just coming out of hospital after surgery. Keep up the great content 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Would be interesting to know what it would cost to get it running and on the road again, an if it's worth it video 👍🏻

[@scalecrawlnl]

A shed, nice one! Excellent video Calvin, your expressions tell the tale. Honda is a real trooper though. Perhaps, get some cheap used parts, repairs for the MOT, make it a 2022 track car for BINCA outings :)

[@benskipper1870]

Bloody brilliant video had me in stitches 😂

[@CPMUNSEY]

That car has been beat on and abused it’s whole life. You can tell it’s lived a rough life but it’s still going. That’s a Honda for you. I’ve owned several of them and have put over 200k on every single one of them,lol!! They were all still running strong when I sold and or traded them. Hondas and Toyota’s are hard to beat when it comes to reliability and longevity.👌🏽🔥🔥🔥 This one prob needs a head gasket and will run just fine.

[@andrewjohnson7960]

Problem been bounced all over the redline constantly haha 8 owners is a huge risk ! I had a mb6 vti B18c4 and that burned a litre in 250 miles pulled dipstick was nearly dry 150,000 miles no service history oops. Now own an Aerodeck vti with 89,000 miles no smoke

[@williammcloughlin8024]

This makes me feel good about some of my bad deals 🤣what a banger mate

[@dewiwilliams2231]

Had one of these in the same colour on a 57 plate about 10 years ago. Loved it and was super reliable but did feel a bit tinny and the paint wasn't best.

[@adamf5942]

I would love a diagnose, fix and then track day it Calvin. You love getting cars fixed up and modded, take this to the next level. They made a fantastic Touring Car.....

[@richweston6202]

Strip it for parts, if the engine is salvageable maybe keep it for a project :D

I think the engine is knackered buddy that’s the main problem

[@philipbarrett3732]

Calvin, you should do a build series/long episode on this on how you would go about fixing on a budget/what options there are to fix this. A lot of amateur weekend mechanics on this channel who I'm sure would love something like that. Probably a lot of people who a fixer series would resonate with as they're in the same boat.

[@CraigsChannel]

Jesus Christ thats in bad condition! Makes the one I sold a month ago look like it just came out the factory. Videos on the channel if anybody want to see one that's been looked after 😄

Had mine now for about 5 months 08 plate 64,000 miles FHSH its shocking how bad condition is on this!! This car has been ragged around like most boy racers do!! Im looking after mine as they are slowly going up in value!

[@BigHumz155]

Calv it's worth WAY more in parts honestly, just part it out for a profit (depending on how much you got it for) and scrap the rest. But yeah, loads of desirable parts on that The smoking and it smelling like fuel is likely because it's running lean and probably needs a new sensor

[@seanharris3217]

Got be head gasket gone with smoke and overheating

[@manolisstratakis]

Fantastic video with of course nice edits 👌😂

[@The_journeyy]

bangers of the week 🔥

[@ryanmitch7993]

So being a fn2 owner myself and having experienced ALOT of those issues the most likely cause of each is: ABS sensor has gone and is causing the VSA and ABS sensor issue and the smoking and engine light is probably due to the rad being blocked or something however the temp going that high have probably done ALOT more damage now

[@realMaverickBuckley]

White smoke is gonna be coolant in the combustion chamber. FN2 owner here too, damn I feel happy my car isn't that one ! 😆

[@multipreach2674]

A blocked rad will cause overheating mate.

[@kenshaw6985]

put a match to it, love the vids

[@TheSjd001]

Turn it into a banger racer. Love to see you hitting the track in it

[@davisdesigns1153]

My guess is the previous owner ran it without oil and the engine got f#@ked as a result

[@rd6781]

Don't understand how people can let cars get like that. No respect.

[@Djwatzy]

I'll give you scrap money for it 😂 oh, I need it delivering to Peterborough too. Cheers Calvin!!

Double check Cal if the C.A.T catalytic converter ain’t missing it’s definitely worth something 💪🏽

It's bonfire night soon Calv 🔥😂

[@garethedwards2883]

Banger of the year Calvin never mind of the week, needs to be spares or repair.

[@adventuresofadingbat691]

I currently have 3 of these . 2007.x2 and 2008 gt. Not the quickest of cars but smiles per gallon are on point 👌 The main problem's I've had are snapped drive shaft Vtec solenoid Pvc valve Suspension Control arms Drop links Bearings on the pulleys Hand brake like yours Roof rust . Bare in mind there getting old now so it's all pretty common. This is a bit far gone. Brake it. £300 seats £300 wheels £750 cat £1000 engine n box £450 boot bonnet wings ×, trim £120 front n back lights And there more. These cars are be being broke at a rapid rate because there just hitting that age a lot of the abouve will need attending to. You might think you cba braking it but believe me you won't have a problem selling any parts off it very very quickly. . For peace of mind I'd at least start to brake it to ensure no one ends up in the same situation as you. Who maybe less Financially fortunate.

[@declanduckworth7978]

surely this is banger of the month! Worst one I've seen you buy, makes for good content tho!

[@CalvinsCarDiary]

[@purplebarnet3630]

I was actually laughing out loud at this video and your face was a picture once the smoke came inside the car I think you should dedicate 1 video a month for "banger of the month"

Funny guy those v tech days in the crx's the exhaust note sure nostalgic lol great content best thing is scrap it by that mot though piston rings deffo but alot worse I bet money pit Calvin GETRID BRO ✌

Give to the lads at Car Throttle they'll know what to do with it👍

[@justmatt6790]

Would say strip it Calv!!But dont think its worth even doing that to it!😂😂

[@schon74]

What a nail lol had a hard life 😂

[@CeltSfodster]

It’s a sad day when you see a Honda in that state. Shame the structure is corroded as otherwise would be a decent fixer upper for someone, just not really economically viable for the everyday person with the repairs that would need. Maybe get the engine out and find a nice little hatch that’s begging for a k swap?

[@Saltermedia]

I know what your saying I have that car in silver same age and it has no issues with corrosion and in in fact none of the issues this one has so just glad to have a nice example of one. I undersealed mine and it was already really clean underneath.

[@AXEMURDERER751]

Had some hammer that mate🤣

[@dnybooker]

Your a legend mate 😆👌

[@christopherhudson4134]

vsa light could be a stretched timing chain. that was the issue with mine when i had it. i tried cam sensors first but it wasnt that. if not kept on top of services, especially if driven after being stood a while these can stetch by half a tooth on either side. youll see the light come on before any rattle. windscreen rust is common, that sticker on the rear cluster is to cover the grime. also check the false floor under the boot, will be like a swimming pool in there

[@michailtoulas]

Does a Type-R stock exhaust fit on a 1.4 iVTEC Civic Hatchback 2010 Facelift?

[@garyeccleston6789]

I love my type r I've had it 4yrs i used to be a detailer but had a massive heart attack 2yrs ago so haven't been able keep on top off her she needs a good detail and deep clean inside.... Its the best car I've ever owned

[@skillzpeace1245]

Before watching I knew the VSA and ABS lights would be on but didn't wanna comment til I saw it. My dad's 1.4 dsi suffered from that problem too and still can't fix it. That car's pretty much had it unless you go to honda officially to diagnose and replace parts. Just a tip for you Calvin lad

[@tots_mk1_225]

The amount of rust, it's like it's been at the bottom of the sea for a while! Banger of the decade!

[@petert2922]

White smoke out the exhaust is basically textbook headgasket failure, further backed up by temps getting high which will happen if combustion gasses make their way into the coolant. Its an easy fix if theres no warping in the cylinder head, its maybe 1 up to a couple hours for a mechanic to replace it. The fuel smell is unrelated but it is an issue on its own, leaky injector or pipe, bad seal on the pump, could be anything.

[@PRB_and_PLB_Photography]

Make some furniture for your waiting area out of the engine and seats. An engine table and a couple of chairs

Well you certainly brought your selves a Yorker there, piston rings gone over heating? was there water in it? did make a great video, what to do with this car is banger racings :-)

[@bigmatt2896]

lol that is a banger mate, looks like its spent alot of time near the coast as thats probably whats caused the corrosion

[@almilhouse9059]

Did the lads use it in top gear..... Hilux sea water test.... Looks like it was the same for the civic

[@df9834]

Had the exact same car Calv. Mine was concours compared to that 😭😂😂

Not a fan of the type R but would be good to see what they are capable off

[@seanmursell3206]

Wow that poor type r is rough. I had one new in 2007 on 57 plate and it was a cracking car for the 3 years I had it

[@mickwilson1918]

Nice project for you 🤣😂

[@LAD241]

Sounds like the air/fuel mixture is too rich on it causing the smoke and the smell but there’s definitely more to it than that if the temperature is so high. Unfortunately you’re probably best off just scrapping it or selling it to a breaker

[@PinkFK2R]

As a previous owner of an FN2, this makes me sad

[@J4Z666]

Set fire to it Calv.

[@thedetailingdoctor5746]

Head gasket just because no residue on oil cap doesn’t mean it’s not the head gasket. It’s 110% coolant getting into combustion chamber

[@Benjy9845]

Agree

[@SebAxton]

Just put it through a mates rate MOT 🤙🏻

[@matthewlewis1795]

Any chance we can have a fixer upper series like the old days?

[@fazzeg3]

The car itself needs a complete overhaul from interior to exterior, then the actual heart (engine) needs a complete overhaul, head gasket, top end and bottom end building back up properly if you skim and take shortcuts itl smoke again not worth the hassle in my opinion.

[@franburke]

Get it priced up exactly how much it would cost to fix it, then blow it up.

Honestly you need to find the person who traded it in and slap em for letting this get so bad… the roof rust is a common thing and was a recall by Honda. Hate seeing a lovely car (that I’ve had and still have for the last 9 years) just be abused and mistreated.

[@TroyMcMahon89]

Do you still have the mitisubishi gto Calvin? Thanks

[@scorcha100]

It would be interesting to find out exactly whats wrong with the engine. Being they are supposed to be bulletproof could be something simple as no coolant or a faulty water pump

[@user-ue6iv2rd1n]

It's overheated and blown the headgasket + god knows what else, scrapper.

[@Paranormalcoffeelounge]

Basically been bouncing off the rev limiter and oil been low. And damaged everything these things drink oil if you constantly rag it

[@snbala]

Unfortunately these sort of cars fall into the wrong hands too much, these aren’t much to buy so it’s affordable to many who want a cheap hot hatch then rag it, don’t service it and treat it like dirt. This one is probably the most neglected type r i have seen. Shocking that it’s been treated like this.

[@Haseeb_0987]

Couldn't of said it better myself.

[@retroryan836]

Yep, so many shit FN2's out there which sadly makes the nice ones looks well overpriced. Thankfully over the coming years ones like these will be scrapped leaving only the decent ones. Similarly with EP3s, you dont see nearly as many shitboxes as you did 5-7 years ago.

[@FOX6819]

Box of 🦢vestas required 😂

[@leeparker1029]

Boost it! Poor car has had a hard life and needs some loving. They still look up to date with today's cars imo. Great fun to drive aswell

[@thebanditsix]

Maybe no water in radiator, civics and jazz's handbrakes,rear calipers tend to fail/bind/stick,rust also an issue, usually on ep3s, also many fn2s were fixed under Honda warranty due to rust at top of windscreen,EML light maybe due to a decat.
