There is lots more great content to come from both the FN2 and the E46 including Track days, Repairs and Mods.
For those new to my channel, I try and do as much auto mechanics on my cars as possible. I'm very obviously not a mechanic, I just have an interest in repairing and modifying cars, and track driving.
Currently, my BMW E46 330ci is my track car and my Honda Civic Type R FN2 is my daily. The plan is to modify the FN2 with the aim of getting my racing license and turning the FN2 in to a dedicated amateur race car.
The E46 is very much a budget track build, however I am still trying everything I can to get that Castle Combe Circuit lap time down...

Cheers man, saved me a lot of hassle today! 👍
Awesome mate , glad it helped 👍 😁
Nice vid mate. Looking to do my rear coilovers soon and this video helped me a lot. Keep to good content.👍
Thanks buddy
Ahhh mate, the good hold Honda snapping bolts 😅😅🙈 gotta love them!! Love the content pal 👌🏼👌🏼
Such a PITA! But hey, only two snapped. Got to look on the positive side 🤣🤣 Thanks buddy, much appreciated 👍🙏😀😊
@@ModFix mate it's like Honda made them that way 😂😂🙈 no worries bud. Your content is so informative , love it 👍🏼
First!
I feel you. Im currently replacing the rear axle on my honda civic in my garage and the rusted bolts are truly a pain in the ass :/ Those brackets at 8:05 arent coming off and im thinking of just cutting them off and making new ones im not sure
Definitely a pain in the ass 👍 Yeah that might be easier. Are there any scrap yards about where you could get the brackets for a few £ ?
@@ModFix I live in Latvia and there aren't that many scrap yards around here, but i already made new brackets, it's fine.
Oh cool, good job mate 👍
Good job, thats no mean feat on your own in a home garage... fair play
Thanks buddy. It appears that I may have got a non Type R beam ( even though it was sold as a Type R beam). Just ordered a rear ARB to make up for a less rigid beam. Might as well do it now while it's off. Why's nothing ever easy!! 😂
@@ModFix Ah bugger, i had no idea they were different to be honest. could you not get the originally shot blasted and powder coated?
I'm just mid dispute with the eBay seller. He reckons he has sold 500 of these to typeR owners. Probably talking out his arse. I'm going to fit the new beam. I did measure it beforehand and it was the same dimensions as the original one. I will refurbish the old one to keep as a spare
Hi can i ask where in northern Ireland you got this rear beam. Im currently after one.. thanks
Hi, I got it via ebay from eurosubframes 👍
@@ModFix thank you kindly buddy.
No worries 👍 I'm pretty sure they are in Northern Ireland
Great vid, but sorry to tell you, the new beam is for a 1.4,1.8 and 2.2 diesel. Type R rear beam is much thicker with a thicker torsion bar and extra swinging arm surport brackets.
Oh no. I had my suspicions. Typical. Was advertised as Tyre R beam 😠 Do you know if it still fits? I was thinking I could add an anti roll bar to stiffen the rear up.
@@ModFix it will still fit. Just not as stiff as the type R version. I have a Whiteline rear roll bar and it almost eliminates understeer.
Thanks for the reply's buddy. It's much appreciated. I'm such a numpty sometimes. I should have gone with my gut and returned it. Hopefully the ARB will sort it out. Did you have issues with the white line brackets being the wrong size?
@@ModFix the white line ARB makes a huge difference. If you put it in tha hardest setting it will compensate the lack of stiffness of that beam. If I had to replace a beam I would use a FK2 one.
@@FN2OPS Cool, thanks. I'm just arguing with the seller at the moment. He is adamant it's a Type R beam but I'm sure he would say that
Hi mate, I know this is an old video. I need to take rear beam off my old car and put it on "new" civic. Any special tools needed and should I be able to get it done in a weekend. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.
Hi mate. Are you changing the bushes as they would need some extra tools? It it's just the beam, I don't remember using any special tools apart from brake pipe spanners. A couple of trolley jacks would be useful. 👍
@@ModFix no just removing from one car, and fitting it to another car. Same year, model, engine etc. Will give it ago this weekend. Thanks for the reply. Just needed reassuring.
Take it easy!
@Naughty Monk no worries mate 👍 hope it goes okay. 👍
