4.7l including filter. Realistically you can put in 5l which will take it around 2mm above the max marker on the dip stick which is fine (incidentally also recommended to slightly overfill when on track).

Does anyone know of anyone who might be interested in selling their FN2 standard 18's?
I've been lurking on Civinfo but missed out on a set because I couldnt get to the money with it being bank holiday

Ive pondered changing my wheels (for rotas or pro race 1.2s) but it depends what I can get for them, and I might also be changing jobs soon to something where an obviously modified car might not be a good idea.
Think the 18s will look good on the Accord though if you can find a set!
If you do replace your current alloys with a set of FN2s, I could be interested in your existing set..

If you want to take it to email I'm interested in a price but it all depends on the condition and the tyres, I'm only in Stockport so not too far. I want to stay OEM as I think they will look good but it has to be a cheap upgrade because if it works out too expensive I will be considering a set of Rota Torque's or Pro Race 1.2's too
No worries, they'll be for sale when I replace them but its a matter of when, I beleive they are Enkie and the same as the Euro-R and similar to DC5 DC5 OEM wheels maybe the same, they look great but too small for the Accords Universe sized arches

Update;
Mechanic told me that the woodruff key area of the crank pulley had worn out. Crank rods seem to be fine so that's a relief. Only problem is buying the pulley. Honda want lolmoney for it and only other place I know has to order them in.

One word, Martelius, wow - do want!!
One of my favourite roundabouts at 28s, think I've seen you about in your car.
So is that Martelius manifold or just exhaust?

It's amazing just how many crap sounding exhausts are available for Civics.

Sadly not mine buddy, but come June/July thats what mine will sound like
The guy in the video has manifold and catback. Been out in one today with a standard manifold + Martelius catback and that was loud, so cant even begin to imagine what the car in the video sounds like in real life. For me its liveable as I rarely travel long distance on motorways, mainly town driving.

lol - can fully understand your disgust. Still doesnt beat the sound of a nice V6 or flat-four but does have a certain charm, almost motorbike-like at high revs.

See that white mugen stylee one also in Stoke, good roads up newcastle way on the 34

agreed. too high pitched. i have noticed a lot of FN2 systems sound a lot tinnier than the ones i have heard for the ep3.
they all seem a deeper tone.
the manifold isnt available yet as AM has the test unit.
im assuming it will just be a catback, but judging the sound, i would imagine it may have a race mani of some description.
or the sound of a k20 with a decent exhaust system strapped to it

Had to order from Honda as only other place would get them in next week and if I wanted it sooner it would be same price as Honda. Looking at Tuesday now.

Looks like the 2.4 executive? Great purchase but why petrol? Did you try the diesel? Also looks to be bought from an Asisn fellow? Hoping it was maintained right. How much?
