"Mugen" Brake Air Ducts Instalation - Part 1 - Big Fail

[@BoogieMan1599]

Hey, I considered doing something similar but it was quite the engineering project to undertake. 😅. But for anyone tracking the FN2 you will very quickly conclude that brake cooling on the FN2 is not sufficient. I ended up refurbishing mine every few track days as the rubbers/dust boot perish due to the heat.

@@BoogieMan1599 yeah man stock callipers can’t handle it. It is a much heavier car than ep3 and the same callipers

Hey Vitor, i feel your pain but id say just go for it, take your time. Its not like you daily this car anymore

[@FN2OPS]

Yeah mate this is it. I was just not fan of cutting the wheel arch but needs must

@@FN2OPS get some of that adhesive rubber edging to tidy the edge of the liner between the two. Will look mint.

@@ExpressionCulture good shout mate will try to do that ❤️

Hi, what are your most recommended mods of this car? If you had to modify from stock what would you do first or think is most notice of change with driving and maybe something you would not change?

[@FN2OPS]

Hi Janny, thanks for watching My top 3 mods would be: - rear anti roll bar ( completely transforms the car, good money for your car) - Brakes upgrade (either dc5 or megane brembos on a budget) - LSD it just compliments and balances the car. One thing I would not suggest to get is the engine mounts inserts. There is considerably more vibrations and it will make it sound horrible inside your car (if you daily it) I have a video with some o my mods but I will do an update

[@JannyUK]

@@FN2OPSthanks. I have bought an fn2 recently which I will be changing to next month and is my daily, I would prefer to keep balanced with comfort and handling. Mine came with LSD as 2011 but rear anti roll bar is on my list. Coming from a 1.8 civic so I sort of know which mods I like from the ones I have done. What do you think about polybush the rear axle or other parts? For comfort? I will check your other videos also.

@@JannyUK most polybush will be harder than stock ones. The car already a bit harsh. If your are looking for more comfort I would say coilovers.
