Random question, does anyone elses FN2 seem to create/collect more brake dust on the rear alloys than the fronts?...

I may be wrong but I think there may have been a recall on the FN2 for this? :confused: Send Loxy a PM on TRO or have a search on there.

EDIT ignore that, seems to be an FN2 trait, something to do with the traction control.

Yay. My wheels point the right way again.

Front right was out loads which is odd, more front camber than normally desired but we then, the subframe had moved slightly which could be adjusted around just the camber adjusters were maxed out. The balance is a bit oversteery now so need to relearn the habits of the car again

Had the day off so I also fitted the EBC yellows, cleaned and greased all callipers and slider pins and flushed fresh fluid through in advance of the OCUk track day on Tuesday.

Was this done at a Honda dealer? I want to check mine as a bit of uneven wear on one tyre (or my eyes need testing - which is highly possible! :( ), however i really dont trust my local garage to actually do the work - but if i got a printout like that i would be very happy! Also rough cost pleeease ;)

Many thanks....

This was done at Wheels in Motion (WIM). They are an alignment specialist based in Chesham, Herts. Tony the owner has forgot more about suspension than most ther places know so he can suggest settings for the way you drive. That above is completely custom but obviously they can align to Standard settings

I think it's £95 +vat for a full alignment on a car with full adjustability at WIM

Yeah certainly is, it's a nice don't get me wrong but I came from owning a mr2 turbo running 345 bhp but when I bought my first house I had quite a fair journey so it killed me on fuel. I replaced i with this but it just doesn't have the grunt.

Now I live at my work again so going to get a toy as the misses has a decent normal car and I bike to work.

I do like these though and it's definitely fun through the corners with a very good driving atmosphere.
