As far as i know. Its stamped up and is noted in the additional information in the service book, done at Brindley Honda, Wolverhampton.

101,000. Chain replaced at 87,000 in November 2017.

Thanks guys, just done a quick check and it makes no difference. I checked some videos on YouTube and the valve seemed more to do with making a vacuum noise where as mine is a harsh rattle. Just checked the pulleys i can reach and they all seem good. I would do the obvious thing and take it to a...

Im not sure what a PCV valve is, let alone where it is or how to test it! Do i need any specialist equipment for it? If i'm stood in front of the engine, it seems to be coming from the left hand side. Thanks for the reply!

Could really use some advice on this please. It seems a bit louder today. It can be intermittent too and go completely for a few seconds at a time. Also, once warmed up it's hardly noticable. VTEC is also kicking in correctly and there seems to be no loss of power. I have a video on my phone but...

2009 FN2, has recently developed a slight engine rattle, doesn't seem exclusive to just idling. Anyone had such an issue and if so what would the problem be?

All in post 1!

Yes, thats it! Thats how i trimmed mine but then removed every last bit so the surfaces are nearly glass smooth!

It does seem strange that it's not included, i mean it's not like it's just come out. And looks shouldn't come into it. It's a Type R, unlike the S2000 which was never a Type R yet gets an inclusion. Very odd.

Removed all fins from the box, touched no other part of the intake system. Literally copied a photo i found on here and google . (Loxy's, i think)

So today, having a day off work, i decided to carry out my first modification in just over 3 months of owning the car. I didn't want a full induction kit but was quite intrigued by what i had read about the airbox mod'. First i got myself a K&N panel filter. Then after removing the airbox, a 5...

Yeah, probably but never had trouble in the past. But doing x, y and z through the post, mapped at one place the other side of the country and then having to rolling road it elsewhere is just ridiculous for a few bhp extra. Standard makes far more sense. We're talking Honda Civics here, not one...

Crikey, i remember the good old easy days when you could just go to Well Lane Turbo, get a rolling road read out, then re-map and then a new rr read out all within an hour or so and about the same time to drive there! This all sounds too complicated and fussy. Thanks for the advice, i'll keep it...

Thanks for the reply. Is there anywhere i could get it done profesionally with a rolling road read out?

As the title suggests, im considering a re-map. Wont be until Spring so I have plenty of time to consider my options. The main thing is, can i have a re-map on a totally standard engine? I dont want to replace my exhaust or filter as both are near brand new and i like the silence it offers in...
