Living With And Modifying a Honda Civic Type R Fn2 - The Start

[@Danfn22016]

If you hold down the info button on the steering wheel for about 5 seconds it will take you to a secret menu you should be able to reset tyre light there. As for rear lip its a gp lip you can get it from coxmotor genuine part from honda they do a front one to. Hope this helps you out👍👍

[@DynodazeHondaTuners]

You sir are a true gent. Thanks for the info. Make sure you stay in touch pal

[@Danfn22016]

Not a problem glad I can help 👍👍

[@funkyphil]

Had mine close on 4 years ive left it completely standard. Best hot hatch I've owned and I've had loads.

[@DynodazeHondaTuners]

Thanks for your comment Philip, was it mapped it completely stock? Also what fuel are you using?

[@funkyphil]

@@DynodazeHondaTuners Completely stock and running on standard 95 octane unleaded whatever is the cheapest not one ounce of a problem with using it! It`s had the occasional tank of the good stuff (bp ultimate). In 4 years its had PCV valve,middle pipe on exhaust,front spot lamp (smashed travelling back from goodwood FOS to Manchester,full set of tyres and the usual pads and discs. Very reliable car just hit 95k. Of course there`s a few niggles the boot sometimes fills with water and the odd creak and bang but to be expected from a 12 year old car!

[@fantomett1]

RHD shortshifter kit combined with weighted gear knob is absolutely amazing in my opinion. It made mine feel like brand new :)

[@DynodazeHondaTuners]

Short shifter a good idea then? I’ve missed a few gears or certainly crunched a few so far

[@dav123spunky]

Got my fn2 with gp bumpers front and back and after 4weeks some div ploughed into the back of me. 5 weeks and waiting for body shop to fix it. Enjoying your videos 👍🏻

@@DynodazeHondaTuners yeah all good was more worried about the car haha 😄

[@civicdriver1987]

Had mine since March and still love it, however I’m finding the previous owner didn’t look after it so well! I’ve had to start putting things right but it’s definitely worth it.

[@DynodazeHondaTuners]

Good to see you love it enough to put right buddy, please keep in touch and let me know how you get on.

[@Szabb1]

I have a LHD ch.white Fn2 year 2010. (Nr. 1858.) Absolut love it. The car is full stock accept the wheels. I changed the heavy stock wheels (12kg each) for a lighter one Sparco (8kg) with lighter tires. It total transformed the car. Such a feeling you found 30hp more not to mention the comfort. Much more comfortable but still good at cornering. I use 100 octane petrol and 0W30 Motul oil. The car has 128k kilometers in it. I would like to keep it as a stock. Enjoy it very much. Btw it's a weekend car for me. :D

Bit late to the party but if you haven’t found out, the rear splitter/skirt is part of the GP (grand prix) pack. If you want the matching front skirt i can help you get one. Lovely car danny.

Not The Real McCoy happy to help

[@richardd8352]

Love the white 👍 Got my fn2 about 2 months ago. It had full service history with a fresh oil change, but I changed it myself again just so I knew what oil was in it. Currently I'm using 5w 30 Castrol, but on next oil change I'm thinking one of either - fushs titan race pro s 5w 40 or motol sport 5w 40 or miller's nanodrive 5w 40. Decisions 🤔 the only things I've done so far are window wind deflectors and painted calipers. But I have a thing about remaining pretty stock with cars.

[@deadseven1]

Best mod I have done so far on my fn2 is a skunk 2 weighted gear knob. Makes the gear change a lot more positive. Oil

[@yardspeed13]

my mate was banging on about these for ages and i was like... a gear knob, really? But you're right they do make a difference.

[@DynodazeHondaTuners]

Love all my mods. EcuTek ECU, HKS intake, M2 exhaust and meister coilovers. Would highly recommend all of these. Car drives and sounds incredible.

Oh and the rear splitter is part of the gp kit that honda used to do at the factory but if you search up fn2 gp body kit you'll find a few different places selling it

[@DynodazeHondaTuners]

Thanks mason

[@alsum2219]

I have my for 10 years. Highly recommend having Paul West remap it. It transformed the whole car. The rear splitter is the gp kit. It was optional extra. There also front gp kit too.

[@DynodazeHondaTuners]

Al Sum Uncle Paul is ace, but we map these in house with Ecutek software

[@andrew260z]

MTF 3 or decent gearbox oil change for a box that hasn't had a change in a while. Hard for me to say what made the biggest change because I had the exhaust + RRC + Flashpro + tune all done in one hit and it transformed from mild to wild.. but now chasing more! Freakyparts BBK will help (one on order) rear swaybar helps turnin. of course the facebook groups will answer all your questions :-)

[@DynodazeHondaTuners]

We supply all the parts at work so im covered there, then i will map with Ecutek, cheers for heads up on rear sway bar will get one fitted

[@tonyboswell5414]

[@shaunmckenna8618]

Definitely go for a map Danny, the map you did for me has really woken the car up with the vtec coming in a 4k it's more useable power, and maybe a hks style intake myn is not genuine hks but still does the same job and comes with all the hks logos on.

[@DynodazeHondaTuners]

I couldn’t use Fake parts, being part of the industry. Glad you are loving your map buddy great car yours is.

[@HondaK20]

True!

[@lister817]

I had a s4 4.2 v8 and went to the fn2 i don't regret it. I.have 2 kids and is brill as a daily then whiz up Oulton park and track it. I did 200 mile om track no problems and now its mapped by Tdi North it's alot better top underrated cars

[@DynodazeHondaTuners]

Paul is excellent mapper, he works from Dynodaze a lot these days, but we map these in house. Such good cars

[@wazpaz7125]

Would be interesting to see some back to back dyno runs with different intake setups. I have tried a few on mine but feel the drilled standard air box with cold air feed from behind foglight is best for sound and performance 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@DynodazeHondaTuners]

Thanks chap, year we will have to get some testing on the dyno done

[@ayr7r376]

Bought mine a few days ago for my first car, probably going to enjoy it stock for a while and the some where down the line look at upgrades. Came with the 19s so gonna be going to some alloy 18s as my first mod paired with some good tyres.

You have the gp splitters mate. Lovely looking motor there. Love my fn2, shes the 59 plate with the LSD, corners like shes on rails. If it was my car, id freshen her up, keep her oem. Theres alot of modded ones, would be nice to keep one oem and clean. With your tyre pressures stick 35psi in the front, 32psi in the rear. Where did you get the complete bush kit from?

1 of my latest mods I'd never heard of til a friend got 1 is the clutch damper bypass. Its a cheap (£20ish) mod but a far better feel and the odd 1st to 2nd crunch I used to get is now gone. Think changes feel slightly quicker too

Nice video mate, i was going to do some videos on mine...which i recently took around Oulton Park.

Looks like loads of people will have told you that's a GP kit rear bumper. Good luck with the mods

And you definitely hear exactly what the engine intake side is doing lol , VTEC cross over is very very audible

[@elaxel1469]

I just would like to ask, is the suspension so hard as people say? unbearable in cracked roads?

[@JA-wy1zv]

I'd say it's very firm, eibachs springs transform it , better than coilovers I've had both

[@lordyboyo]

For me the biggest gain I had was with the rrc intake off the fd2, I did have a full system exhaust with decat also, but for me that seemed to be the biggest improvement, I live quite far away from you guys, I've had my car 6 years now and I have always used a company called grinspeed in leyland. I always use what oil they recommend, which is honda's 10-40 (I think).
