I will happily talk up the FN2R. The version with the LSD is great and most of the talk about it being worse than other cars is usually by people who haven't lived with one. Once you have one for a...

Yep, my 2009 FN2R is doing similar but I don't listen to the radio much. It skips folders and tracks both on USB and CD. I took it to the dealer a week ago (not under warranty) and they didn't want...

Bump for a good thread and good point by Hankook. Handling, acceleration and and braking all get better with a reduction in un-sprung weight. I tested it first hand and I had such a good improvement...

Great write up - did this exact swap last night!
Maybe a tip to add is to put the 14mm bolt back in a few threads once once you have loosened it off.
When you are jiggling the wheel loose this...

Nice work on putting up the cash and effort for the install... now if we can get you to tell us what 'nicer' means we'll be set! :)

I installed subframe locks on my s15 and there was little movement except when the LSD locked in and out. A bit harsher but quite noticeable

Sorry to bump an old post but I would have liked to have this information a while back. I weighed my OEM wheels when I swapped my tyres over to some 15" enkei's.

7.9kg each and that includes...

Hey dude - I'd suggest use 98 (I do in my b16a2) more for the anti-knocking properties of the higher octane rating than anything else.
Knocking is when you get combustion happening slightly before...

Nice one - thanks for the advice. There's a great book by Richard Holdener I have been reading called Xtreme B-series honda engines and it's sparked a few ideas. Cams are appealing as once they are...

Just a quick question regarding the supporting mods for upgrading camshafts on a b16a2 engine. The Skunk2 tuner series Stage 1 Cams for B16A2 seem to be a straight swap and will work with the current...

I feel your pain - a jack is your friend

A backyard solution is potentially really cheap. For the cost of a sheet of aluminium or some washers and some wrenching it might be worth someone having a crack. If you know someone with a lathe...

Interesting thread - any thoughts on using simply crush washers instead? (Aluminium)

You wouldn't get the geometry improvement but it would be a damn sight cheaper than the spoon set-up. If it...

Am up early to replace the endlinks and bushes on the front swaybar with hardrace ones and to fit some NF210 lowering springs

I've been working like a mad man the past couple of weeks - reversing camera off my dvd player, 22mm whiteline rear sway bar, cusco front lower arm, spoon intake elbow (fakey from tegiwa) and an oil...

Get yourself a copy of a book called "Extreme Honda B-series Engines" will tell you everything that works (and doesn't) depending on your power and torque goals!
cheers

(P.S Written by a guy who...

I have the same short shifter and the stock b-pipe and there is a slight rattle through the shifter too. I also had the engine side bolt and washer come loose and some trouble getting into first at...
