bonnet looks a lot better in real life, really sets the car off, wanted a vented one to keep temps down

great car m8, but i'm not sure about the bonnet colour..........design looks great though.

it might cost about 200 quid to spray it..........maybe less, because it's not as awkward as my rear bumper

colour matching it could be on the cards for the future, wings and bumper need spraying anyway, so don't think it would cost too much more to have the bonnet done at the same time

Apart from Autotrader+pistonheads are there any other places to search for a FN2.

Have a look at the for sale section in civinfo, but be prepared to haggle down from what might be a bit of an inflated price

company in Harworth near doncaster called RDT, race dyno tuning, they specialize in Honda's and seem to know what they are doing. Im absolutely crapping myself that something wont be right/go wrong lol

It will be fine if he's a decent tuner - the AEM is a good platform to work with and 350whp is nothing for that engine.

Superchargers generate far less heat than a turbo as well so the additional venting wasn't really necessary but it can't hurt I guess

Anyone know anywhere in the Manchester area that would be recommended to fit springs to a civic? Thanks

Grinspeed in Leyland.

Relentless81 · 5 Aug 2016 at 08:24

Yeah used them before, anywhere a bit closer?

ChrisD. · 5 Aug 2016 at 08:29

TDI North (or whatever they call themselves these days) in Warrington? I don't know of any around Manchester I'm afraid.

These were recommended on TRO the other day:

Forgot about them, expensive last I spoke to them. Might just try and a reputable local mechanic rather than Honda specialist it's only springs after all

That's why I mentioned Grinspeed, he's cheaper than TDI North.

Relentless81 · 5 Aug 2016 at 11:49

Yeah thats why I ended up using him last time, I'll see if there is a train station near Grinspeed I cant be asking the Mrs to follow me there and back

Noxia · 5 Aug 2016 at 17:48

Excuse the finger on lens but I installed the Eventuri intake the other day. The scoop is subtle enough to not bother me.

Also changed exhaust to a true 3" one, the pipes are not slash cut like OEM and also doesn't have 5 silencers..

I havent tried elsewhere, so cant comment , but TDI North have been excellent in my various dealings with them and have a good rep as far as im aware, am sure they'll all give you a standard price for Springs plus presumably Fast Road Setup, cant imagine you'd do one without the other....
