The only times I would have been at bobbing would have been either getting petrol or grabbing a quick mc'ds...eat and gone....never been a mcdonalds rudeboi. LOL. There 200bhp standard, that was Regal phase 2 mapped and pulled 250bhp then I went for the sports cat and VXR turbo and then...

Heres some pics that I got of my old astra.. ..No LED lights, OEM+ FTW! LOL 260bhp and 305ft/lb torque....went alright but nowhere near as fun as the civic! Was a good sleeper though until you saw the front mount. I used to have alot better pics but these are the only ones left on...

Yep I did the fitting myself so saved quite abit of money....werent that big a job ***....tbh it was a damn sight easier than changing the turbo on a MK4 astra (Well less cuts and scrapes anyway :) ) Breakdown of the parts... GM - Less than half the price you quoted ;) and I already had it...

Im not having a pop at you at all Loxy, I am just filling in some info that I have experienced with my setup. :) Try and clarify some of the bits.... One of the reasons I chose my mods is not to be the fastest FN2 (as we are constantly reminded that they'll never be as fast as a EP3...

No problems with the Gruppe M at all....when mine was being setup first time around after 20-30 power runs the intake temps stayed the same as the ambient temps, only when I went for my smaller pulley is when they rose up about 9 degrees but that was after about 15-20 runs and even then it was...

Good work Loxy, looking forward to the new manifold reveal...wanna see some pics before its fitted though. LOL Love abit of good customer service when they stop on and help out getting everything right....goes a long way in my books.

Romain is a top guy...recommend him to everyone, I been back a few times with my mate and bro, had FRSU done and always have a good day. He's always friendly and will talk through everything he's doing/done, map it to suit your driving style and isn't just in it to take as much money off you...

Hey people I know this isn't the group buy area but wanted to put it in here as its only gauging interest and want the maximum amount of FN2 owners to spot it (Sorry mods - hope its ok though). Anyway what im putting this up for is that I have been in touch with a large Japanese parts...

Sorry for the late reply I dont get on here as much as I should do. Im not sure what colour code or anything, I just went to Lepsons (http://www.lepsons.com/) and looked at what they offered and chose there standard Gloss black that they do.

My bros old DC5 didnt have a parcel shelf either. Yeah im up for meeting up soon, would be good to see it.

Cool. Yeah I dont mind showing people the setup. Where abouts do you go to in Kent?? You should sign up to civinfo.com as theres loads of info on there about tuning the FN2 and theres four of us on there now running chargers.

Where abouts are you mate? I have actually had some more work done now....it turned out I had a larger pulley than I thought on there and now I have the smaller pulley it is now running 305.5bhp with just the charger, Gruppe M and TDI headers.

Lovely car matey & like I said on your facebook...preface lift FTW! :)

Heres a couple of pics of mine....not CW but hopefully give you some idea.

I thought this was true too, I thought if they were chasing in a built up area or if other people were around then they are supposed to back off to try and reduce the offender crashing into other people. I'd check with citizens advice or a solicitor too, might get some $$$ out of it for some...

Cheers Jerry, was really good meeting you too, I have only just been on here for the first time in ages. Just saw the thread about your car and am truely gutted for you....I loved your car so hope it comes back better than ever and that you get some payout for the hassle.

I had one of mine smash, I didnt know if it was a stone or due to the bumper but I was lucky and picked up a second hand set for a bargain price. I think the issue is with how tight certain parts of the foglight are on the surround that if it takes a big hit then the force goes straight into...

Ohh man, I only just seen this thread...havent been on here in a while. Im so sorry to see whats happened Jerry...your car was immaculate! Really hope that you and your misses were ok and the stupid **** gets everything thrown at him.

Including mapping & unneccessary items such as Samcos, Oil cap, Mugen Socks & Carbon fibre cover it probably came to about 3k all completed.

Cheers mate. Im on the Isle of Sheppey, only a couple of miles from CPL. Where you from? Not too sure yet, havent properly tried it. :) lol

I believe he was putting out 298bhp on TDI's rollers with OEM catback & airbox & Toda manifold

Ahh that would be Nick, I lowered that Golf for him on coilovers! Looks awesome on the porker rims!!! Just needed a good tidy up

No im not, im from Kent, James used to live up here and I ended up on a forum he used to run then ended up as admin on the forum.....alot of the groups used to wander between sites so everyone knew each other quite well.

Yeah that and brakes are the next things on my list as they are the major let downs now. Romain said the FRSU totally transforms the car and makes it how Honda should have done in the first place. Yeah don't give up on the FN2s yet, they might not have the suspension and lighterweight of the...

Hey people Thought I'd put a post up to show off what I been doing with my time over the last week so here it goes. Spec :- Comptech Engineering Stage 2 Superchager RC650cc Injectors Greddy Sparkplugs TDI Headers Gruppe M Hondata Flashpro Hondata Thermal Gasket Red Samco Induction...

Try A-plan! My renewal with Bell had been put up from £850 to £1100 going from 2 to 3 years no claims and no points etc. so I rung around all the specialists like adrian flux etc& sky and they said they couldnt beat it so tried them as a last choice as they insured my bros DC5 and they quoted...

By the way im always insured fully comp on my cars as the money I spent on them I always wanted to make sure I was covered for everything on them. I Dunno how it was possible though as I actually had a RX8 (190bhp) before that, owned it for 2 months and 3 days then wrote it off and got the...

22 When I brought mine and am 23 now, insurance first year was carrying on from my Astra turbo (no increase) which was £850 FC & this year its £650 FC.

Hey everyone This is a question for all you turbo or supercharger guys..... What brake setup are you all using and do you find it adequate? What do you all recommend? I have just got my supercharger for my FN2 and before it goes on I have to get a few more bits for it, one of which being...

Hi everyone Was just wondering if anyone knows where the cheapest or best place is to buy a Hondata Gasket is? CPL have got them up for £50.21 on there site (minus VAT which is so annoying as you have to work it out everything with the VAT :evil: ) so it actually costs £59. Anyone know...

Hi everyone I been interested in getting a new exhaust manifold as after reading alot of reports on the forums they seem to give some very impressive gains and are a excellent first step to tuning. Below show some pictures of the standard setup and the XO manifold to show why you should get...

Does anyone know if the settings he put in the first post are the correct ones though? As theres a place locally who specialise in geometry and suspension and would save me a huge drive to some of the main places like ABP & TDI etc.

Lovely car and some awesome photo locations! Need to take a trip somewhere fancy abroad and get some pics of the car. :D

Very nice, James told me about this car and sounds absolutly mental! :)

I think it looks awesome, makes me wanna get some standard FN2 rims for mine and have some different coloured wheels for knocking about with. :)

Ahhh how gay!

Sorry I havent really read too much into this so dont know if its been answered before but I have the original ipod connector in my 57 GT and was wondering can it be changed or the software updated to the new one where it displays all the bits etc. as in the post above? Or is it a different...

I have wondered about this too....supposidly the manifold cover doesnt fit if its from a EP3 though as theres a difference in mounts or something. Apart from that you should be ok. :)

What ones did you go for? Also do you think they are a good purchase? Worth it? Thanks

If you do get some can you get some pics up as I wanna see what they look like properly on the car as nowhere has decent pics. :)

Done....resized to smaller than the rules say. :) My bad

Tough one....Milano (Since thats what I got) but equally its gotta be Championship White too. :D

Try some meguairs plast-x....you can get it from halfrauds and is meant for removing scratches from plastic stuff. Heres a link to it.... http://www.meguiarsshop.co.uk/?gclid=CNrYgaCA9poCFY9_3god013IcA

Ignore this post, I just trawled through pages of posts and found my answers. :)

Hi people I was just wondering if anybody has a picture of what the bass kit looks like or any info on it for the FN2? I seen it advertised in the brochure but was wondering if it was a stealth type sub or what it was.....just out of curiousity really. Also I have the built in sat nav which...

Well another quick update for you all....Honda have accepted the claim and they are being replaced with brand new ones and centre caps next weekend. Also its going in for a handbrake recall at the sametime. Think its time to get a few coats of jetseal on them while there all shiny and fresh...

A little update for you all, I been on the phone and e-mail to the garage and they are fine about the claim, the woman said she'd get it started for me today so I should be hearing back from them in a couple of days regarding whats happening. Some examples of how bad the flaking was tho.....

To be honest I only had it a couple of weeks so dont know what oil is in it, whatever Honda use I am guessing. I will need to check the oil level though.

I have a FN2 and from cold its quite juddery almost like you got it in a high gear with low revs and its trying to kangeroo. Anyone else have this problem and is there any fixes for it? Thanks

Nice tip, is this the same for the passenger seat?

Ok I will try and take a trip over there today and see them. By the way Stella I dont know if you remember me but I was at the rolling road day in essex you went on with torque-steer. I had the black astra convertible, it was the day when you lent James with the EP3 your front wheels so that...

Is it best to contact the dealer or the main honda HQ?? Havent had to deal with anything like this before so I havent got a clue. lol

Hi guys I have just noticed that on a couple of my rages for my FN2 the laquer has started to bubble on the inside of a few of the spokes. I have only had the car a few weeks and apart from that happening its been perfect. The wheels havent been kerbed or refurbished before. Has anyone else...

Hi People. First proper post outside of the introduction section now :) Anyway I was just wondering if anybody knows if there is a uprated RARB available for the FN2? If there is does anyone have it and what do they think of it? Reason being I think the standard suspension is good but...
