guys, is this a normal idle rpm for N gear?

somehow my my rpm fall a slightly and cause jerky for a very very short moment and then back to this rpm again. what is the problem? its something like mounting issue, but just for like probably less than a second of jerk.. sad.gif

this is the same rpm level when i engage D gear..
*
Yes, normal idling RPM for a warm engine is 700 - 800 RPM

Fast Autoworks in Sri Muda

thats where my friend did his FD2 to K24

Only thing I don't like about Fast Autoworks is the place very messy... I just like more organised and cleaner workshop. Just looks more professional that way... not saying the job quality is better... just the way I prefer it.

no... definitely no reason to do it.... it's an automatic not a manual gearbox.

Anyone driving FN2R?

Any particular reason you're asking? Planning to get one urself?...

No, I'm not driving FN2R but 2 friends driving it and my regular workshop deals with several customers driving FN2R, FD2R and DC5.

Yep, test drove a unit yesterday. Just want to know how difficult it is to find parts for the car if anything goes wrong.
So do you know?
*
Parts are available... just have to wait looonnngggeeerr time compared to FD2R or DC5... since not from Japan or Thailand.

Also some parts are much more expensive compared to FD2R or DC5 also for the same reason.

FD or DC5 sharing many parts with local models. Civics so sometimes can substitute. But not for FN2R.

However FN2R is cheaper to buy compared to FD2R. Of course DC5 are even cheaper but not as cool looking as FN2R la...

I wouldn't worry on parts availability if that's your main concern. Reliable stuff just be prepared to pay and wait if you do need to replace something.

At first of course i want FD2R compared to the FN2R but because of the price difference, which is about 30-40k, i opted for the FN2R. Im just worried about the parts.

Btw, do you know whether we can adjust the height of the clutch on FN2R?
*
you mean the clutch pedal or the actual gearbox clutch..

Because i feel its so difficult for me to get used to the clutch height. Im quite a short guy some more,
so it was quite hard. Haha any major problems regarding this FN2R?
*
ermm... can't you just move the seat closer to be able to depress the clutch easier??

Anyway, just look out for the normal stuff that you check for any used car that you buy...

Only thing that may have issues are engine mounting (may have crack because of torque from engine), maybe the clutch if previous owner always drag it, suspension and bushings I guess...

those are stuff I can think off.. otherwise should be reliable..

What's the purpose of the 6 holes at the rear bumper ar... ?? hmm.gif
Saw quite a few cars like that... always wondered why?

I can only think of maybe aerodynamic related stuff... air trap at rear bumper at high speed... but wouldn't that be better solved by sealing off the bottom.. just guessing.

Or just for show... which i dun understand also.. make the car uglier from the rear.

that 6 holes is called a diffuser... and yes...aerodynamically related.

rear bumper acts as a parachute....the holes will let the air through giving less air resistance on high speeds.

sealing off the bottom also uses a diffuser like THIS

but there really isnt any for the EG unless DIY. and even then, it may not be as effective for the EG coz of the undercarriage design may still allow some air into the rear bumper causing it to be trapped there and may even make matters worse with a diffuser coz it doesnt have any where to go

personally... i dont like how it looks with gaping holes... but once u put netting at the holes... they look real good... and yes i have them netting biggrin.gif
*
aha... ok. My guess is correct. Thanks for clarifying it. thumbup.gif

There's a big empty space under my rear bumper also.
Any significant improvement for you after adding the holes?

Okay, might increase my budget a bit then.

Hmm, want to ask you guys.. When I was test driving the car, I stress the engine a bit and rev it to 4k rpm.. When accelerating, there's a smell (like something burning?) in the cabin. The dealer told me it's normal for all the cars.

Is it true?
*
hmm.gif Any abnormal smell may indicate a problem. So I wouldn't say it's normal.

However I have the same smell in my Civic also... but only sometimes. I've never figured out what's wrong. Could just be the heat from the exhaust burning whatever dirt on it and the smell get into the cabin.

Better test drive another car and see if really same burning smell.

LOL, original windsreen and HONDA oem both are same, made in malaysia.
Cabin sound, road noise tyre roll, engine roar are the nature of civic. Fender, roof,..... everything is light and thin, thinner than proton i assume. The windscreen is as well thin, engine is madeby aluminium. ......

Everything in Civic including chasis is designed to vrooom vroom. sound proofing will only change the civic into heavy toyota. If you cant accept racing setting, its better for you to ride comfort toyota.  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif

Why aluminium engine no good?? rclxub.gif rclxub.gif
