  • 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!!

    30-32 psi depending on how lively you like the rear.
    On trackday knock out 4 psi unless you're running nitrogen.

    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.

    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 👌

    Nice vid....what bran can spray did you use for the wheels and how well did it keep up the color

    Fully polybush kit ?
    Greatest upgrade for precision feel, other than the corner weighting with full wheel alignment.

      They’re actually a great little all rounder, I like it a lot!

    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.

    • @ShiftingMetal
      @ShiftingMetal  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      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

    • @ShiftingMetal
      @ShiftingMetal  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      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 ?

    • @ShiftingMetal
      @ShiftingMetal  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      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!

  • @Hondafn
    @Hondafn ปีที่แล้ว

    What did you do to make the clutch feel better?

    • @ShiftingMetal
      @ShiftingMetal  ปีที่แล้ว

      Replaced the clutch
