    FN2 FN2 2nd Gear

    Hi Everyone, Just a quick enquiry. I'm sure I have read on here before that there were recalls on early FN2's because of an issue with 2nd gear? Does anyone know what the issue/symptoms were? I'm having issues changing up into 2nd when doing anything more aggressive than the usual tootling...

    FN2 Brake Recommendations...

    ello' ello' ello', I'll be back on the island next week, and I'm planning on giving the calipers a scrub and refurb. So, depending on cost, I want to change the discs and pads whilst I am at it. I quite fancy dropping a set of vented/grooved jobbies on, more for the bling factor than anything...

    Its blue skies and sunshine in the Reich this morning, so I figured it was time to bring the PiperX out of hibernation! It sounds farking awesome, and the Mrs wouldnt take a recording of the sound inside the cabin on the basis that it would make me a "geek". So until I convince her to shut...

    FN2 Standard Wheel Colour Change

    Hi Guys, I use my standard wheels, with winter tyres for use through the cold months. And ordinarily I havent given a toss about damaging them. That was until I took a chunk out of one, and then it upset me, but not enough to warrant a refurb. Saturday, my old man borrowed the car (hes out...

    FN2 FN2 Boost/SC or Evo X

    I need a project for the summer. So I am thinking 1 of 2 things, FI conversion on the FN2, or seeing as I am a lazy fecker, just going out and buying this. http://www.autoscout24.de/Details.aspx?id=l14ixd4trguq I think the only viable FI option for the FN2 is the CPL kit. So this will...

    FN2 Engine mounts gone?

    Hi Chaps, How do I explain this one without sounding like an eejit...especially in front of Neily03! ;) I've started to notice that when I am accelerating hard over bumpy/uneven road the engine note "skips" as I'm going over the bumps. Its almost like a string of mini vtec changovers...

    FN2 - HKS Premium vs HKS Racing Induction Kit.

    Hi Ladies & Gents (I think there are a few out there anyway). I've decided I want an induction kit for my FN2. I'm not after gains, I want the induction noise, and simply "because I can!". The Gruppe M would be the 1st choice, however, at £987.51 I'll give it a miss! I had a look at the Unit...

    FN2 Warped Brake Discs?

    Hi All, I have an 08 FN2, with 28'000 KM (18k-ish miles), and just recently I have noticed that when I step on the brakes between 80-100mph (autobahn territory only) I get quite a strong vibration feedback through the steering wheel. So I'm 99% sure its warped brake discs. But then would...

    FN2 Stonechip rust

    Hi, I picked up my FN2 in February. And now in August the front end is riddled with stonechips! Some of these stonechips have developed rust blisters. Is this something that is covered by the warranty? Its only 6 months old! Why have Honda now taken to slapping p*ss thin paint on their cars...
