Found some bird crap on my rear spolier this afternoon. I cleaned the spoiler when I got home, but the paint/lacquer has been damaged badly. Its left a pitted finish which I can't get rid off. I've even used brasso, which did reduce the pitting, but its still very noticeable. So its looking...

This is my second FN2. After having a Milano previously I didn't want a second so this time went with Crystal Black, which has replaced Night hawk Black. The pics were taken the morning after collection. The paint work needs some protection and wax to bring out the shine. So on to the pics...

Just done the deal to buy another FN2. So on 1st September I will be trading in my 2007 Milano FN2 GT for a 2009 FN2 GT in Crystal Black:twisted: Night hawk black has been stopped, and Crystal Black is the replacement. Looking forward to having HID's and a decent iPod connection. Other than...

Was it possible to have a Blue DC5 with Red Recaro:confused: I'm looking at getting another FN2, and it is now available in Deep Saphire Blue. However I'm not sure how it will look against the Red Seats.

My FN2 is nearly 24 months old with 16k on the clock and is due its 2nd service. I've just had a quote of £270 from the local stealer:eek: Anyone else had the 2nd service done recently. I thought it was the normal 12.5K check up, which last time only cost £84 with me providing the oil. I'm...

The FN2 has always been bad for stone chips. My bonnet and front bumper is full of the little nicks to the paint:rolleyes:. But in the last month I've found 5 very large chips, on the door, wing, bonnet, roof and even the rear spoiler:eek: I know I'm picky, but its really pi**ing me off:evil...

Just starting to experience a problem with my clutch. Sometimes when you fully depress the clutch you can hear and feel and notch/knocking towards the end of travel. Gladly I don't think its associated with the hyrdaulic Clutch mechanism itself, because when I looked the pluncher is fully...

Well after having the a flip key case for a few months, I've finally fitted it. A little tricky because you have to desolder the immobliser transpoder to get it closer enough to the ignition barrel. But worth the effort.

Snetterton Trackday Just got back from my first full trackday. I was in the FN2, and my mate was in his E36 M3. We booked via a local company 'Heritage trackdays' and it was well run. Got to track, signed on and had the drivers...

Starting cleaning my car this morning at noticed this It wasn't there when I last used the car, and I never heard it crack. Spoke to the local dealer and its £95 to replace plus 1/2 and hours labour to fit, as the bumper has to be replaced. Not what I needed at the moment, as I'm to busy...

I've always really enjoyed cleaning my cars, and keeping them in mint condition. With my past 2 Civics they have looked better after a year than the day I drove them off the forecourt. But with the my Red FN2 its just not happening. Now I loath cleaning the thing as I just think I'm making it...

Received a letter recorded delivery today from HUK. Apparently there is a recall on all Honda Civic FN shape regarding the handbrake. There is the potential they installed the release button spring incorrectly. This could result in the handbrake releasing itself:eek: So they have included a...

I'm thinking of doing this trackday at Snetterton http://www.motorsportvision.co.uk/trackdays/event-details.asp?ProductID=3565 Here is the format of the day. The day includes: ·Teas / coffees and bacon roll on arrival ·Lunch with instructors ·1 ½ hours one to one tuition in our VX220 Turbo’s...

Thought I would start a thread to cover my new FN2, and update as I update the car. Don't have any plans for the car yet, I will have to see what becomes available. So here are some pics of the car, a few days after I picked it up. First modification:twisted: 2nd Modification...

Had my car at Dalco's today having my Bluetooth Handsfree kit fitted. Anyway once he got it fitted, he drove it out of the workshop where the engine proceeded to die:o He tried starting it again and it turned over but would not start, almost like it was an immobiliser fault. So I drove down...

Had my first disappointment with the FN2 this weekend. I was driving quite hard trying to learn the car a little more. As such I was braking hard for corners to get my speed down, before powering around the corners. As I'm still getting used to the car my cornering speed was quite low, so I was...

Been cleaning the car and notice the amount of brake dust coming from the rear pads. The rear wheels were filthy, were as the fronts were nearly spotless:confused: I had done 500miles of easy driving so haven't been using the brakes very hard. I can't believe the brake bias is set towards the...

I'm struggling with the quote function of the new forum. If some one was quoted someone's post. If I want to reply I press the "quote" button. But only the last person's message appears in the quote and not the original quote. If that makes sense. I've tried using the "Quote+" but it doesn't...

Well after a 5 week wait I have a Milano FN2 sitting in my garage.:twisted: I'm really happy, I loved my Cosmic EP3 and it will be a car I will never forget for many different reason. But time moves on and it was time for a change, and I'm really happy with the choice I made. I nearly went...

I'm trying to read an old thread I started about recovering photos from a SD card. My another thread I now the old like was http://type-r-owners.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=18003 but I now can't access it, even if I try and change address to vbulletin and use the topic number.

I know its early days yet but does anyone know the wheel size, and tyre size for the 18" Standard Alloys. I would like to change the 18" once the car arrives but I can't find the offset etc to see what alternatives are available.

I'm having trouble logging into the forum. I have set Firefox to remember my Username and password, but when I go to login the username field is empty. If I type in my username frefox will remember my password. I then tick the remember me box, but the same always happen. Also the forum keeps...

Is there anyway to edit Thread titles after you submitted them? If you go to edit the original post and go "advanced" you can edit the title, but it only edits the title in the post and not the title shown on list of threads. See my thread here...

Test driven Mazda 3 MPS and FN2 back to back UPDATE: Ordered FN2 Started off with the FN2, a black GT model number R-000101 with 18" wheels. When I saw it in the showroom I didn't go wow but I think this was because I had already seen so many photo's and vids, plus seeing it at the Geneva...

Long shot, but does anyone know what size 18" wheels will fit the new Civic??? Or if anyone knows the spec of the official Honda 18" Storm wheels. The other question is be if wheels fit the current 5 door models, will they fit the new Civic Type R/S???? Whats of questions but I'm...

Had a bit of problem today, when I indicated Left the indicators flashed twice their normal rate. But when I used the hazard switch then both sides flashed as normal. When I got out of the car and looked the Front left indicator was not working. Then this afternoon the fault cleared...

I forgot to ring Greenlight today to confirm that their policies allow you to drive other vehicles 3rd Party. I'm flying to USA on Sunday and my insurance runs out on Tuesday, so I need to get Emma to sort it out. But I was hoping that someone could shed some light on the situation before I go.

My front tyres are starting to get low and will need replacing in the not to distance future. I've only covered 10K miles. I would think they need replacing before I do any trackdays this summer i.e Brands in July. The question is when I replace the fronts should I but the new tyres on the...

Could anyone help me. I need a photochop of some Rota Rev Wheels in Bronze and in Silver But I'm struggling to find a decent pic. Or here http://www.rarerims.co.uk/alloys.php?product_id=19f7a53f928407a1e69efe87e5c4df84&startrow=0 On a Cosmic CTR like mine [/url]

Been thinking this might be the exhaust for me. As long as I keep the car for longer enough to warrant modifying the exhaust. I've seen quite a feel photo's and clips (thanks to N77). What I like is it seems not to be too loud until you hit VTEC or full throttle :twisted: Just a few...

I want to install and extra cigarette lighter 12v socket in the car. So I can run my PDA without having a cable across the dash. Ideally it would be somewhere near the furry pocket or fuse box. I've had a quick look and can't see an easy cable to tap into. Has anyone done this, or similar...

This is not for my CTR but for Emma's saxo. I have had the front disc's and pads replaced as it was juddering under braking from higher speeds. Will these take time to bed in a bit as there still seems to be a bit of juddering. The bad news is the mechanic also noted the rear drums are on...

I have a rattle, drone from that sounds like its coming from the exhaust. Only happens when the car is very cold. I'm sure its the exhaust but it could be a heat shield somewhere. Although it doesn't sound like the rattle I got from a heatshield before, last time it only used to happen around...

Would it be possible to have a spell checker function when writing a post. My English is not the best so this would be really helpful. I see www.avforums.com have this function, but I don't believe they use phpbb :?

Ok I may just be going mad but I'm sure that I read some where you can change the washer jets on the Civic. I want to change the orginals to a jet, that gives you more of a spray type, i.e. like you get on VW's I'm sure there is another Honda (Jazz, Accord???) that has this function and...

My Mugen Pedals have finally arrived, following all the hassle I had with a few group buys :wink: :evil: Unit 8 sorted me out and they arrived today :P Cheers Stevie. I have fitted the brake and clutch within a few minutes and they look great. I have a few questions about fitting the...

Ok I know this is a newbie question, but what size wheels are the standard Alloys, and what size can you fit :?: :oops: :oops: I know they are 17" but are they x 7.0 or x 7.5? Can you fit either, ie aftermarket wheels? What ET's are the standard wheels and what ET can you have and...

Anyone got pics of Buddy Club P1 Racing SF in the Dark Grey fitted to a Cosmic. I can't quite decide between the Oz Superleggeras or the Buddyclub's :?:

I'm having a few problem fitting my Mugen Airbox :( This includes knocking off a coolant pipe but thats a different story :evil: My main problems are fitting the scoop. I can get the Airbox in place no problem, but can't get the scoop on. I have the DC5 Scoop that should fit but I can't...

I was trying to fit my Mugen Airbox today but thats a different story. Anyway I knock the pipe highlighted in the pic, below :shock: The clip couldn't have been gripping properly because it came away when I knocked it with the air scoop. Anyway a load of coolant drained out, so I quickly...

Basically as the title says, has anyone heard from Turbo5? I thought he was meant to be collecting his CW 54 plate one today, I want some pics to drool over =P~

I think it may be a good idea to have a sticky in the Faults section. This sticky could contain details all the common faults that are known on the Civic Type R. You could have a sticky for each model :idea: This would save the need for loads of topics of the same subjects. I have got...

Guys On behalf of a friend I need some help. They have some paint spray on their car, which they think has come from road line paint :( They have tried using white spirit to get it off with no joy, whats the best thing to use. I remember someone has had this problem and did remove...

I have a new rattle in the car :( It seems to be coming from the boot and after a little investigation I think I have found the problem. The boot seems loose when it is closed. When the boot is closed I can pull it (like you would when you open it but without opening the handle) it will...

Well as this has cropped up a few times in the past I would thought I would do a post about MP3 players and the original headunit. You can use CD changer port of the original headunit to play the MP3 player with. You need an adaptor for the MP3 player. The one I have just allows the output...

We thought I would get some pics of my Standard Cosmic CTR. Updated 25/9/05 I have finally fitted my Mugen Airbox, I've had it since August :oops: I'll update this when some more parts arrive from Unit 8 :twisted: Hopefully there should be another addition after...
