Fitting the Meister R coilovers on my Civic Type R FN2! 

Good point mate thank you 👍🏻

Cheers mate. You know me, rough and real haha 😅. That would be awesome to tinker with mate 👍🏻

Thank. Good point 😅

Hahaha 😂 born and bred mate 👍🏻 thank you so much!

Thank you mate. I'm definitely chuffed I got it done myself 😊

Awesome! You won't be disappointed 👍🏻

Cheers buddy 👍🏻

Thanks so much mate! Good luck fellow northerner 😉

Yes they'll definitely be useful for future now 👍🏻 wow what a massive job 😂

Already booked in there for next month mate. Can't wait 👍🏻

@@FNLEW Awesome, Area were at Cadwell today testing a customer EP3. I just uploaded a video of my FN2, can see how quick they are with a good geometry and some decent brakes.

I can't remember unfortunately but I think they were roughly £30

Ok no worries, thank you

Hi jack thanks very much. I haven't bought any at the moment so I could recommend a size. Sorry

Ok no worries, thanks anyway 👍

No way on this car. The handling's too good with these coilovers set up.

That means a lot buddy, thank you!

@@FNLEW I've ordered the bits so fingers crossed. I'm just doing a straight replacement and not an upgrade like yourself. I also used your videos to do the front suspension which I did last year. Oh and the serpentine belt , the brakes and refurbed the front calipers too 🤣. The work you've done will be helping people for years to come. Good on you!

@@MrDirkles unbelievable mate, I'm so glad I could help you! Enjoy the car and thanks for the support!

I would think so mate but I'd just check with Meister R themselves.

@@FNLEW thanks for reply man will give them a email

Nice one! To be fair mate from memory I thought they were pretty accessable from the top. But obviously if not then yes maybe that's a way to get to them

Congrats on the new purchase mate but I think doing it all again in these temperatures would be the last thing I'd want to do 😅

Just shows where aggression gets you 😂

The car is 13 years old. Enough time on salty British roads to get a bit rusty I'd say. All the old components were still in good working order though.

Can't wait to show you. It's so different!

Thanks mate. There set up and aligned now so loving them 👍🏻

I never use to work on my own car. But youtube is your friend. Have faith in yourself and just give yourself plenty of time to do it. 👍

I used to have no knowledge or experience mate. Couldn't even change a wing mirror cap. It all comes in time mate you just have to try 👍🏻

If I could give advice it would be give it a go, but to start small and work your way up. Build confidence and knowledge slowly. Get appropriate tools, sockets ect - including a long/breaker bar! But yea start small build confidence you will be surprised how far you can take yourself. You gotta go outside your comfort zone to learn, but know your limits and only a little at a time.

I dont have any mechanical savvy people around me. So if I bugger something up im stuck with a "fix what I broke" bill aswell as the cost to do what I was trying to do hahaha. I won't even attempt the breaks on my own. I'd rather just pay a garage and know its dont propper. Would love to be able to do it my self though

@@mickgad1 a long empty weekend and loads of research before hand is your best bet buddy 👍🏻

No I just got replacements. If anything you can get ones that are adjustable length to make them shorter or longer if you wish to do so.

Hi mate. Unfortunately with the nature of these cars being a sporty hatch, they are slightly lower than the average car anyway. You could do it but you'd be spending a lot of money to potentially ruin the handling of the car by raising it. Other things I'd check is things like is your undertray not fully attached and sagging. Is your metal inspection panel hanging off or damaged (common problem, most people remove it). Other than that mate it's just a case of been more careful than a normal car with bumps.

@@FNLEW thanks for replying so fast. I have took the tray off so it ain’t scrapping so much but what I am finding very weird is the drivers wheel is closer than the other to the arch. I have took it to a mechanic and he says there is nothing wrong with it but you see it’s closer. Also I have watched quite a few of your videos and the car has had an aftermarket exhaust put on half way down ain’t got a clue what make it is or anything but it is embarrassing loud. I driving it has slow has I can to stop people looking at me. I think I would rather have the original on it.

@@SEC0NDTW0N0NE that's strange. Maybe a shock is leaking. Yeah if it's a straight through pipe unfortunately they can be really loud.

Thank you mate! Haha it didn't stay that way for long 😁

@@FNLEW look forward to a review!! Interested to know if that horrible crashiness has gone!!!!???

Thank you matey 😁

Cheers mate! Don't worry it didn't stay for long 🤣

@@FNLEW 🤣 I know I know

I got them from the meisterr official site.

Cheers mate. So did I 😂 forgot I let off two rippers aswell 🤣

@@FNLEW It happens dude 😂 one certain guy we both know is particularly bad for it! 👀

The damping? You don't have to take the scuttle panel off, just pop the damper top nut access cover open, adjust the knurled adjuster, pop the access cover back on and down.

I have seen those, that's a very good point. If I tracked it more then I definitely would.

@@mickl8212 you have to take the wiper off then take the top trim off every time you need to access it on this model of car.

@@FNLEW you certainly don't mate, there's a little access cover on both sides of the scuttle panel. I've had my MeisterR coilovers off enough times to know (due to the faults mentioned to you in a previous comment). Damping can be adjusted in a couple of minutes that way. If you want to adjust the camber on he top of the strut assembly you'll need to remove the scuttle panel as the M6 capheads are harder to access and undo/tighten.

@@FNLEW have a look here mate. It describes removing the full scuttle, then a bit later on, shows the access panels above each strut top bearings. I never removed the scuttle in all the times I had to adjust the damping on my MeisterR coilovers. www.civinfo.com/threads/strut-top-mount-access.38712/

Had me aswell 😂

@@FNLEW cheers man. I might look at getting these on my Type S GT, they should be the same hopefully.

@@jambowinniefell5091 no problem. I got them from their own website so worth dropping them a message to double check 👍🏻

No way 😂

Thank you mate 👍🏻
