Not sure on the colour code but its called Etna Black.

Evening TRO So I have been meaning to claybar the Alfa for some time now and as we were blessed with another fine day on the southcoast I got to work this morning. First I pressure washed, then washed car with the 2 bucket wash method, dryed with my new dodo juice fluffy drying towel, then...

Welcome to the Alfa club!! And a good choice as well, look forward to seeing the pictures!

Can't Believe This Has Happend To The Alfa!! So Wednesday night myself and my misses went to see Skyfall at the cinema, we were enjoying a pleasent evening until returning to my car in the carpark to find some kind person had driven straight into the side of my car leaving a lovely dent...

Yes and no, if anything for now I will put in a K&N or BMC panel filter for a little better breathing, but in terms of other mods nothing planned for the minute, I would in the future look into a rear diffuser and exhaust upgrade that I have seen, possible re map up to around 200bhp and maybe...

:getcoat:

Yeah no too bad, filled her up a few times now and normally pay around £45-£48 per tank (at 137.9) and getting around 300miles, but i do always fill up at quarter of a tank so she probally could do more! Not sure on annual insurance cost yet as for the minute I just changed details on exsisting...

Yeah there are a few about that are re mapped to around the 200bhp figure, not sure on tourque figures though. Not something I will look into at the minute. Altough it is only 155bhp, between 30-70mph it pulls harder and (feels) faster than the type R.

Cheers kev, and yes you are right on location, fancied a little drive to the race course, went on to bury hill after for a cup of tea and slice of cake! Lol!!

Afternoon TRO, So after a tough decision it was finally time to call it a day on my Type R ownership, I have enjoyed owning a EP3 and FN2 but it was time to move on to something else. Now I know these are not to everybodys liking but I have loved the styling ever since I first saw them. I am...

Welcome to the FN2 club!! Nice and tidy looking example there. With regards to your clutch take it to your Honda dealership and ask them to strip the clutch and re lube the master cylinder, I had this done and only paid £40 labour, for me so far it seems to have resolved the problem.

Yes mate it is.

Hey Mook, Can I grab another new 'R' style external please, Will PM over details.

Part of the 'Hendy' group, it gives me 50% of MOT's 10% discount on all parts/ labour, free courtesy car, colletion/ delivery service within 10miles radius plus various other things, had to pay £14 for it but every little helps!

So we are all aware of the clutch problem on the FN2, and I am one of those who has this problem, as much as I have tried to ignore the noise I have got to the point where I can take no more! So I thought I'd share my little experience with my local Honda Garage. This morning the car was...

Finally a weekend off work!! So what better to do then grab the camera, jump in the FN2 and go for a Sunday drive to sunny West sussex, Here's some of the shots I took.

Wheel arch sounds like the best option I think, I will have a play around later!

Just reading throught this thread as my Fn2 has now developed the 'Squeeky Clutch Syndrome' and just a quick stupid question, where is the best place to access the rubber grommet on the firewall?? Had quick look in footwell but is it better to go in through driver wheel arch?? I know the best...

Really nice example, Makes me miss my SS Ep3 even more.

I have recently cleaned my floor mats with this and cant fault it, plus the bottle is gonna last me forever, very good product!

Now the weather has warmed up slightly im not getting this problem so much, but I have found that running engine for a minute or two before moving does make a difference. Also as Honda never changed it on my minor service last month, I replaced the air filter myself, and I dont know if it just...

Yeah and the kind sales man who lent us his car kindly left it with fumes in the tank so had to coast it home in eco mode ha ha. But to be honest I wasnt in too much of a rush as I know from countless times before that the bloody things were probally turned off, and guess what when we got...

So i got to drive the new civic today, Long story short, dropped the car off for MOT ten mins later and the misses said 'oh ***** I think i've left my hair straightners on'!! As we have also just had new capret laid we had to go back and check, so I thought I ask at the reception if there...

Yeah im up for a meet will keep an eye out for it! As much as I love the Fn2 I still keep looking about for DC5's and S2k's, only prob with the s2k is stupidly high insurance for my current postcode. Also I do miss certain things about my EP3, watch this space!!!

So much want!!! Looking good buddy.

You can get some good pics up there, many a time i have been up there to get some shots when the sun is out. Im only down the M275 in town, got the FN2 last year before that I had a Ep3.

Looking good buddy, road in picture looks familiar, Portsdown hill by any chance??

Looking good buddy. This makes me want a GP pack even more now!

So I havent really posted in this thread much recently, so I thought it was time for a few new pics

Looking tidy! Fancy a trip to Portsmouth to do mine?? :lol: Mine really is in need of a good machine polish and paint correction!

Welcome, Looks nice and tidy! Good colour too!!

Looking good buddy, nice colour choice too!! I need a GP pack in my life, time to start saving!!

Finally got round to doing this today and first impressions, mmm.... it didn't feel as jumpy, could just be in my head, but I'd say give it ago wont do any harm. And as mentioned in posts above no need for any radio codes, all I had to reset was the clock!

So got my renewal from Admiral yesterday and after another year of clean motoring they decided to put me premium UP £400!!! I know insurance clams etc are or the rise but really £400, for what?? So after visiting Mr Meekat plus many other sites I got some good results, and out of interest I...

Cool, cheers guys I will reset it and see what happens!

Well looks like a visit to Honda before resetting the ECU, I can not find the radio code anywhere!! First page in handbook where details are supposed to be are blank, Is there no way of finding out the code or will I have to ask Honda?

Cheers Loxy, Shortly after writing this post this afternoon i thought about the air filter as i noticed on the report sheet it is not changed on the 62.5k, so i thought i would have a look at it and to be honest it looks pretty tidy, just a little dirty but not enough that i would think could...

Hello, Just a quick one, really not enjoying driving my FN2 at the min, when driving from cold it is so so jumpy, just the smallest of movements on the accelerator pedal causes the car to almost kangaroo, it doesnt help that every road around where i live has speed bumps so im constantly on and...

Congrats on the new purchase, and a good choice of colour too!!

Looks just like my old EP3, I do miss it!! Looks good mate enjoy!

I saw 3 of these in some rather fancy stripy camouflarge shipping out to St.Malo (France) on one of our boats Wednesday night, didnt know it was a civic at first but now I know!!

Just had the call from Honda, and turns out its the rear pads that are worn and on the indicators, So new pads being fitted now!

Yeah after I posted this done abit more searching and thought it sounded like the pads were on the way out, she's in with honda as I write this so hopfully they will phone later this morning with some good news that its just the pads.

Hello, When driving earlier this afternoon I had the windows down and noitced a very loud and high pitched squeek coming from what sounded like the passenger side, over 40mph it goes but if I turn to the left the squeek starts again, and below 40mph whilst turning it gets even louder, Please...

Hello! So after just over two years of happy ownership of my Ep3 I wanted something a little newer and something with a few toys on, so after some test drives and searching around I found this and picked her up on saturday.. No real mods planned as of yet, just...

Can anyone help please, went to view a FN2 GT over the weekend (07), now I know as standard they do not supply a Ipod connection cable, so my question is where is the best place to buy one, how easy are they to fit and do they charge the Ipod whislt playing?? On my Ep3 I currently have a...

Morning all, Just a quick one, Was under the bonnet yesterday doing some work and noticed this bracket just sat next to the battery, not attached to anything, so now im thinking should it be holding something in place or is it nothing to worry about???? Cheers for your help pic below..

Hello chap, I know this isn't the same branch (but same company) I had my wheels refurbed by the 'wheels specialist' in farham (hampshire), I was very impressed with the finish, time scale and price, I would reccomend them to anyone, Unlike some company's who just break the tyre bead...

I just used water to clean mine mate, fill up sink, let it sit in sink for abit, shake it about, empty sink, then repeat until water and filter nice and clean, let it dry completly and stick back on car! :smt023

Nice purchase mate, I like. Enjoy!!

Cheers mate, and yeah for the price you pay i cant fault them, good old Google done me well on this one!! ha ha

Cheers bud, im getting another quote just for the wing and then i'll go from there, will post any updates at a later date!!

They are a pain and all it takes is to follow a car or lorry and another stone to fly up and your back to a stone chipped bonnet. Im a little anal about the condition of my car but I think for the minute finacially its just gonna have to be a wing spray! And i'll prob give honda a miss...

I got my blades from www.wiperblades.co.uk, just put your car details in and it lists all the blades, I went for the flat blade ones and for the price I cant fault them! Been on the car for nearly a year now and still going strong!!

I may go down that route as I really cant afford £300 at the mo, but there are some nasty stone chips on bonnet (which would be sorted too) so if im gonna get it done I may as well do it properly and get it all done. Stuck what to do now, I may pop to my local Honda and just get thier view on...

Yeah I suppose its not too bad for the whole front end I just wasn't expecting a whole front end job just for a small patch of rust. Silly qustion but if there was someway of just having that area sorted would it stick out like a sore thumb? I'll try and get some more pics for up for you joe...

Hello all, Well where do I start, After cleaning the car the other day I have noticed a couple of patches of rust starting to bubble under the paint on the wheel arch. To cut a long story short I took it to a garage this morning (friend of a friend of a friend and so on) for a quote, the...

Filled up yesterday with 'Fullsave' 111.9 in Portsmouth

Good guide suits I might actually get round to doing this now, been on the to-do list for sometime!!

I found it through the forum, there was a link on here sometime ago. The site is called eforcourt mpg calculator or something.

I might do next time, but to be honest im not too fussed about mpg, I just thought I'd post up mpg from first tank of fullsave. Ok my fault sorry I should have said I didn't have a completly empty tank when i filled up, I only purchased about 36.88 litres.

I used some online calculator thing, typed in the amount of litres purschased, then the miles covered pressed enter and it gave me that mpg.

Well I filled up this morning after using a full tank of this coverved 300 miles and that gave an average of 36.9mpg.

Filled up with this morning with this and went for a long drive, just under 100miles and needle only just dropped off full. Wasn't a sunday drive either plenty of v-tec. Will report when the tank needs refilling to see if I got any better millage out of a tank. Im not expecting much more...
