3.2L early 250HP engine

This was recorded on 18/07/23 around 7PM. I'll be there in my FN2 next year. It is getting some more mods to make it more reliable on track!

Wasn't it reliable? Did you have any issues? @@thesillyhatday

It was all good. Very much enjoyed the car. Even the cheapest Porsche has a great balance and sound. Tyres wore perfectly even on stock suspension, Porsche knew what they were doing. My Civic is much more setup for the track with a bunch of handling mods. I know the car better and can lean on it harder. I might not be as fast, but it's all about the fun anyway.@@lifenitz

Stock, the Clio is more fun, Civic is quicker with understeer bias. Suspension setup and tyres, Clio is super playful, Civic feels serious and stable. When Civic breaks loose it feels like a knife edge compared to the Clio. Both well matched on small tracks. Clio faster on tight turns, Civic faster on high speed turns. Clio brakes are miles better, though not fair comparison as the Clio is smaller and stripped out. About 350 to 400kg weight difference.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4 :)

Badly scuffed knuckles. Hospital job

I'm homeless 🤣

Didn't even know there was such a thing 👍

Not half. When they said they dont use blue flags it confused me.

@@thesillyhatday bain of my life, being faster everywhere but some bellend with all the gear, no idea wont move aside because he thinks he'll drag race you down the straight.

Hey, not sure why I missed this comment. I think at the time for modifications I had: Rota GR6 Wheels Michelin Pilot Sport 4 Tyres Project Mu HC800+ Pads Brambo Drilled Slotted Discs Tegiwa Catback Exhaust HEL Braided Brake Lines Meister R Coilovers -2.1 Front Camber Front Anti Roll Bar Polybush Whiteline Rear Anti Roll Bar Stripped Rear Seats K Tuned Shifter Bushes Skunk2 Weighted Gear Knob

@@thesillyhatday It's cool man, that's an awesome list of mods. the only mods i have are the skunk2 shifter and an ecutek remap haha. does the job for me as its only a daily.

@@cameronbrown3380 My daily too! I want an ECU tune. Want a manifold first before that. Mods a bit longer since then

@@thesillyhatday oh do you still have it? I thought you didn't from the comment. Surprised you don't have a tune, I bought the marlin ecutek map off tdi North. Awesome upgrade, definately what these cars need, gives you some usuable mid range and a higher rpm limiter, also some goodies like advanced traction control and flat foot shifting.

By any chance, it might be: The Strain - Man of the moment. Believe me it took some finding. Good luck finding it anywhere

@@thesillyhatday it's on Spotify 🤩🤩🤩🤩

Much appreciated, thanks. Back there at end of March again

@@thesillyhatday Lucky guy - have fun! And please put another video up. I'm in press of getting another car as my Alfa is likely to be written off after someone drove into me last week. Honda fn2 is top of my list.

@@PedroskiClimb Well the last year was a bust, we never made it. Ahh well! You get an FN2? It's not a great track car lol

@@thesillyhatday last year was definitely a bust! Yep, I got an FN2. 59 plate, and previous owner already fitted Yellowspeed Racing BBK and coilovers, and I've since switched to lightweight 17 inch wheels instead of the heavy 18 inch lumps. Really pleased with it, and I think with the sensible mods that have been done it should be pretty decent on track.

@@PedroskiClimb They aren't bad on track, you just feel the weight and fight understeer. I'd like to try 17 inch wheels, mine came with 19s, awful. The brake kit is a must. I'm tiered of constantly cooking brakes on track days. I even cracked a disc on one really hard day. Right from the outer edge to the centre!

It stopped at the end as it had run out of fuel. Choke it out and you can suck enough fuel through to get it running again. Might have to do a basic starting trouble shooting on it in the next video. I find they are most sensitive to fuelling. Make sure your 'jet' is clear of crap and that your fuel screw will wind all the way in. See your float bowl is keeping a nice level inside while its running. If fuel is dripping out the intake your jet isn't seating right with the adjuster and not atomising the fuel properly while running. If that's in good order, make sure you only use 3/4 turn to start and about 1/2 to 3/4 for running when it's warmed up. If that's alright, then see the spark timing is somewhere between 20 - 5 degrees before TDC. Make sure that spark is consistent and strong. Clean up you points in the magneto well. To do a good job they need to come out and be refitted. Oh smoke means too much fuel

Sillyhatday thanks for the reply I’ll have to go through what you have suggested we’ll try anyway I can do somethings not to keen on talking the carb apart in case I mess it up I think it’s something to do with the air valve thing

Something could be stuck in the fuel line or the float could be stuck
