    Calvin! I would love to see a video of what’s actually wrong with the Type R. Don’t have to fix it. Maybe a video at VRS or nearby garage confirming what’s causing the smoke and overheating. A repair bill Ed how much it’s gonna cost. Loved this video man keep it up

    This is what happens when people buy and own something without asking if they can afford it, then instead of spending what money they do have on maintaining the car properly, they spaff it on pointless "mods". I'm gutted this FN2 has been so badly mistreated. The spec is great, but it needs a bit of TLC to bring it back to the rightful condition. These may get a bit of "it's not an EP3 tho" hate now, but as the last NA engined Type R, I have no doubt there will be a sudden realisation that they've been overlooked and underappreciated. It's probablyy too late for this one, but hopefully there's lots more out there that have been treated properly.

    Calvin, you should do a build series/long episode on this on how you would go about fixing on a budget/what options there are to fix this. A lot of amateur weekend mechanics on this channel who I'm sure would love something like that. Probably a lot of people who a fixer series would resonate with as they're in the same boat.

    Calv it's worth WAY more in parts honestly, just part it out for a profit (depending on how much you got it for) and scrap the rest. But yeah, loads of desirable parts on that
    The smoking and it smelling like fuel is likely because it's running lean and probably needs a new sensor

I’ve owned several of them and have put over 200k on every single one of them,lol!! They were all still running strong when I sold and or traded them. Hondas and Toyota’s are hard to beat when it comes to reliability and longevity.👌🏽🔥🔥🔥 This one prob needs a head gasket and will run just fine.

    The main problem's I've had are snapped drive shaft
    Vtec solenoid
    Pvc valve
    Suspension
    Control arms
    Drop links
    Bearings on the pulleys
    Hand brake like yours
    Roof rust
    . Bare in mind there getting old now so it's all pretty common.
    This is a bit far gone.
    Brake it.
    £300 seats
    £300 wheels
    £750 cat
    £1000 engine n box
    £450 boot bonnet wings ×, trim
    £120 front n back lights
    And there more.
    These cars are be being broke at a rapid rate because there just hitting that age a lot of the abouve will need attending to.
    You might think you cba braking it but believe me you won't have a problem selling any parts off it very very quickly.
    . For peace of mind I'd at least start to brake it to ensure no one ends up in the same situation as you. Who maybe less Financially fortunate.

    So being a fn2 owner myself and having experienced ALOT of those issues the most likely cause of each is:
    ABS sensor has gone and is causing the VSA and ABS sensor issue and the smoking and engine light is probably due to the rad being blocked or something however the temp going that high have probably done ALOT more damage now

    vsa light could be a stretched timing chain. that was the issue with mine when i had it. i tried cam sensors first but it wasnt that. if not kept on top of services, especially if driven after being stood a while these can stetch by half a tooth on either side. youll see the light come on before any rattle. windscreen rust is common, that sticker on the rear cluster is to cover the grime. also check the false floor under the boot, will be like a swimming pool in there

  • @LAD241
    @LAD241 2 роки тому

    Sounds like the air/fuel mixture is too rich on it causing the smoke and the smell but there’s definitely more to it than that if the temperature is so high. Unfortunately you’re probably best off just scrapping it or selling it to a breaker

  • @petert2922
    @petert2922 2 роки тому

    White smoke out the exhaust is basically textbook headgasket failure, further backed up by temps getting high which will happen if combustion gasses make their way into the coolant. Its an easy fix if theres no warping in the cylinder head, its maybe 1 up to a couple hours for a mechanic to replace it. The fuel smell is unrelated but it is an issue on its own, leaky injector or pipe, bad seal on the pump, could be anything.

    Maybe no water in radiator, civics and jazz's handbrakes,rear calipers tend to fail/bind/stick,rust also an issue, usually on ep3s, also many fn2s were fixed under Honda warranty due to rust at top of windscreen,EML light maybe due to a decat.

    Seems like a head gasket. White smoke is coolant burning in cylinder and high temp shows loss of coolant.

    Boost it! Poor car has had a hard life and needs some loving. They still look up to date with today's cars imo. Great fun to drive aswell
