- Thanks for all the support in the last video and welcome to new subscribers. Watch the vid and see how the Civic is looking for our trackday at Castle Combe (video to follow!)
Any Gopro experts that can tell me why my GP 10 seems to sway left and right in the car, regardless of the mount I use, please do let me know!!

Enjoyed the 2 videos so far 👍 keep em coming
Thanks man, will do 🫡
Nice vid....what bran can spray did you use for the wheels and how well did it keep up the color
30-32 psi depending on how lively you like the rear.
On trackday knock out 4 psi unless you're running nitrogen.
The car looks great, good job.
👍
Thanks, I've been loving it!
Glad to have found your channel. I'm looking at picking up an FN2 in the not too distant future and only live in Weston so good to know there's someone local who knows what they're doing with one.
Happy to help if we can 👍
wicked video! looking to take mine on track at donnington at some point
100% do it, so much fun!
looking good, I need one of these as a second car
They’re actually a great little all rounder, I like it a lot!
Fully polybush kit ?
Greatest upgrade for precision feel, other than the corner weighting with full wheel alignment.
Enjoying the content- you could fit a short shifter adapter £15 from eBay that dramatically reduces the gear throws- the inconsistency with air con could be the shim washer on the air con clutch just remove it and definitely change the driveshafts- J&R driveshafts do a set for £120 - enjoy
Thanks, I’ll definitely look into those, they sound like worthwhile mods 👌
Has the torsion bar got an adjustment on one end? If you’ve loward it the torsion bar might need to be shortened ever so slightly?
Can’t adjust the rear torsion bar
Hi mate, you will want to change them disks and pads, or at least pads
i fitted mine a couple of weeks ago and did Cadwell park other day and they are shocking, they warped and juddered like crazy.
That sucks! The discs seem to have held up pretty well, even with my heavy braking but the pads did get munched!
Hey mate how do you compare the fn2 to 370z?
I’ve had my fn for a while and seriously considering a Z
It apples and oranges really, they are very different cars. The 370Z is definitely much quicker but it's harder to drive 'fast'. There's loads of pros and cons but if you fancy a 370Z, you probably need to scratch that itch!
Did the new clutch sort the low bite ?
It improved it but it was still fairly low. That said it did give the pedal a lot more 'feel' and it's no longer an on/off switch!
What did you do to make the clutch feel better?
Replaced the clutch
@@ShiftingMetal get a damper bypass helps slot to
A limited slip differential will transform it.
No doubt, it doesn’t sound cheep though 😬
@@ShiftingMetal You can purchase an Mfactory helical LSD for £560... But the difference will be night and day, or get a second hand standard LSD from a breakers. The standard LSD is great. It's one of the best modifications you can make to a fwd car.
The standard LSD can get a bit "grabby" on uneven roads, under full throttle. You have to be aware and on it
Horses for courses... LSD will transform track driving. But will make it feel heavy on roads. I know this from my own very recent experience. You essentially have a choice. Make it great on a circuit, or great on a road. The two don't really overlap. Choose your preference... Mine is set up for track and is a bit of a dog until I race it 😉
