The Fast Car Big Build: Civic FN2 Type R. Episode Five - Tuning Time

After a fun day out testing the chassis upgrades at Brands Hatch last time out, the FN2 Civic Type R’s performance shortfalls were exposed, with that in mind Jules and Midge hit up eBay and ordered a bunch of essential tuning parts to get the Civic moving in the right direction.
The first tuning mod for any car should be an exhaust and filter, so that’s exactly what they tackled first! You can watch these upgrades being fitted in this episode, as well as a couple of other additions to give the K20 a little sparkle. Enjoy and we'll see you on the next one when we tackle the audio upgrades.

Look forward to seeing what you do with the audio. As I have the same car and find the audio rubbish as standard

Personally, I wouldn't waste your resources on the audio when you can listen to the beautiful K20 sing all day. But hey, each to their own.

What about when cruising around town or stuck in traffic, we can't drive at 5400rpm everywhere :-)
