I BOUGHT A BROKEN CIVIC TYPE R! 

If anyone has any great ideas for the civic let me know. Burning it is all thats coming to mind for me 🤣

This is what happens when people buy and own something without asking if they can afford it, then instead of spending what money they do have on maintaining the car properly, they spaff it on pointless "mods". I'm gutted this FN2 has been so badly mistreated. The spec is great, but it needs a bit of TLC to bring it back to the rightful condition. These may get a bit of "it's not an EP3 tho" hate now, but as the last NA engined Type R, I have no doubt there will be a sudden realisation that they've been overlooked and underappreciated. It's probablyy too late for this one, but hopefully there's lots more out there that have been treated properly.

An absolute shed of a car - never seen an FN2 in such poor condition!!

Calvin! I would love to see a video of what’s actually wrong with the Type R. Don’t have to fix it. Maybe a video at VRS or nearby garage confirming what’s causing the smoke and overheating. A repair bill Ed how much it’s gonna cost. Loved this video man keep it up

Bolt on an eBay turbo and send it for the draggy times 😂 Ps - top the coolant up first tho ! 😁

Where’s the 20-70 mph draggy times big man 😂😂 Loved this video. Made me laugh after just coming out of hospital after surgery. Keep up the great content 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Bruh...the previous owner literally gave 0 F@#%s

That is a banger of the week you ain’t wrong there calv 😂

Packed in driving a few years back...no fun on public roads ..but love Calvin's video. So honest and real .top bloke good luck mate

I had one from new great car 2 years no matter how hard it was driven never a single issue.. sad to see one so badly treated as they still need to be looked after

Calvin, you should do a build series/long episode on this on how you would go about fixing on a budget/what options there are to fix this. A lot of amateur weekend mechanics on this channel who I'm sure would love something like that. Probably a lot of people who a fixer series would resonate with as they're in the same boat.

"Exhaust either sounds good or it's blown" loool 😂🤦‍♂️

I would love a diagnose, fix and then track day it Calvin. You love getting cars fixed up and modded, take this to the next level. They made a fantastic Touring Car.....

A shed, nice one! Excellent video Calvin, your expressions tell the tale. Honda is a real trooper though. Perhaps, get some cheap used parts, repairs for the MOT, make it a 2022 track car for BINCA outings :)

This makes me feel good about some of my bad deals 🤣what a banger mate

Would be interesting to know what it would cost to get it running and on the road again, an if it's worth it video 👍🏻

Had one of these in the same colour on a 57 plate about 10 years ago. Loved it and was super reliable but did feel a bit tinny and the paint wasn't best.

Bloody brilliant video had me in stitches 😂

Jesus Christ thats in bad condition! Makes the one I sold a month ago look like it just came out the factory. Videos on the channel if anybody want to see one that's been looked after 😄

Hondas just really never break, even when the physics says that they should 🤣

That car has been beat on and abused it’s whole life. You can tell it’s lived a rough life but it’s still going. That’s a Honda for you. I’ve owned several of them and have put over 200k on every single one of them,lol!! They were all still running strong when I sold and or traded them. Hondas and Toyota’s are hard to beat when it comes to reliability and longevity.👌🏽🔥🔥🔥 This one prob needs a head gasket and will run just fine.

Not a lover on these cars but you made wicked content from it. Did enjoy watching it CALVINS WINNING OUT HERE

Strip it for parts, if the engine is salvageable maybe keep it for a project :D

Made me proper laugh when you tried to pull the door shut when you stopped to turn around👌🤣

😂 love your videos pal keep em coming bro

Turn it into a banger racer. Love to see you hitting the track in it

Cals reactions to the car made my day hahahhaha

Calv it's worth WAY more in parts honestly, just part it out for a profit (depending on how much you got it for) and scrap the rest. But yeah, loads of desirable parts on that The smoking and it smelling like fuel is likely because it's running lean and probably needs a new sensor

Should’ve done Draggy time by pushing it off a cliff 😂

bangers of the week 🔥

I currently have 3 of these . 2007.x2 and 2008 gt. Not the quickest of cars but smiles per gallon are on point 👌 The main problem's I've had are snapped drive shaft Vtec solenoid Pvc valve Suspension Control arms Drop links Bearings on the pulleys Hand brake like yours Roof rust . Bare in mind there getting old now so it's all pretty common. This is a bit far gone. Brake it. £300 seats £300 wheels £750 cat £1000 engine n box £450 boot bonnet wings ×, trim £120 front n back lights And there more. These cars are be being broke at a rapid rate because there just hitting that age a lot of the abouve will need attending to. You might think you cba braking it but believe me you won't have a problem selling any parts off it very very quickly. . For peace of mind I'd at least start to brake it to ensure no one ends up in the same situation as you. Who maybe less Financially fortunate.

So being a fn2 owner myself and having experienced ALOT of those issues the most likely cause of each is: ABS sensor has gone and is causing the VSA and ABS sensor issue and the smoking and engine light is probably due to the rad being blocked or something however the temp going that high have probably done ALOT more damage now

Double check Cal if the C.A.T catalytic converter ain’t missing it’s definitely worth something 💪🏽

It’s nearly bonfire night Calv, give it the send off it deserves

put a match to it, love the vids

Banger of the year Calvin never mind of the week, needs to be spares or repair.

vsa light could be a stretched timing chain. that was the issue with mine when i had it. i tried cam sensors first but it wasnt that. if not kept on top of services, especially if driven after being stood a while these can stetch by half a tooth on either side. youll see the light come on before any rattle. windscreen rust is common, that sticker on the rear cluster is to cover the grime. also check the false floor under the boot, will be like a swimming pool in there

Fantastic video with of course nice edits 👌😂

My guess is the previous owner ran it without oil and the engine got f#@ked as a result

Does a Type-R stock exhaust fit on a 1.4 iVTEC Civic Hatchback 2010 Facelift?

White smoke out the exhaust is basically textbook headgasket failure, further backed up by temps getting high which will happen if combustion gasses make their way into the coolant. Its an easy fix if theres no warping in the cylinder head, its maybe 1 up to a couple hours for a mechanic to replace it. The fuel smell is unrelated but it is an issue on its own, leaky injector or pipe, bad seal on the pump, could be anything.

Don't understand how people can let cars get like that. No respect.

Do you still have the mitisubishi gto Calvin? Thanks

Got be head gasket gone with smoke and overheating

Spares & repairs Calv, hope you did alright on the car they purchased - btw were u & family in Bournemouth end of Aug….I see you in the Gardens, wanted to come & say Hi as feel I know you as long time subscriber but thought better not!! 🤔

Had mine now for about 5 months 08 plate 64,000 miles FHSH its shocking how bad condition is on this!! This car has been ragged around like most boy racers do!! Im looking after mine as they are slowly going up in value!

I'll give you scrap money for it 😂 oh, I need it delivering to Peterborough too. Cheers Calvin!!

lol that is a banger mate, looks like its spent alot of time near the coast as thats probably whats caused the corrosion

Random question but what's the best way to get that adhesive off the windows 😁

Make some furniture for your waiting area out of the engine and seats. An engine table and a couple of chairs

It looks like it's been sprayed with neat traffic film remover every day of its life 🤣

Honda will fix the roof rust. They did mine I know its the least of the problems

surely this is banger of the month! Worst one I've seen you buy, makes for good content tho!

Before watching I knew the VSA and ABS lights would be on but didn't wanna comment til I saw it. My dad's 1.4 dsi suffered from that problem too and still can't fix it. That car's pretty much had it unless you go to honda officially to diagnose and replace parts. Just a tip for you Calvin lad

Any chance we can have a fixer upper series like the old days?

Can someone please tell me if a stock Type-R exhaust fits on a 1.4 iVTEC 2010 Civic Hatchback Facelift?

The amount of rust, it's like it's been at the bottom of the sea for a while! Banger of the decade!

Where to start with it?

I love my type r I've had it 4yrs i used to be a detailer but had a massive heart attack 2yrs ago so haven't been able keep on top off her she needs a good detail and deep clean inside.... Its the best car I've ever owned

Sounds like the air/fuel mixture is too rich on it causing the smoke and the smell but there’s definitely more to it than that if the temperature is so high. Unfortunately you’re probably best off just scrapping it or selling it to a breaker

@calvin that cst is from dundee Scotland

Funny guy those v tech days in the crx's the exhaust note sure nostalgic lol great content best thing is scrap it by that mot though piston rings deffo but alot worse I bet money pit Calvin GETRID BRO ✌

Banging tune on the intro cinamatics....

I was actually laughing out loud at this video and your face was a picture once the smoke came inside the car I think you should dedicate 1 video a month for "banger of the month"

What's temp gauge like

It's bonfire night soon Calv 🔥😂

I was gonna say would it be the valve stem seals from it smoking ?

Maybe no water in radiator, civics and jazz's handbrakes,rear calipers tend to fail/bind/stick,rust also an issue, usually on ep3s, also many fn2s were fixed under Honda warranty due to rust at top of windscreen,EML light maybe due to a decat.

Not a fan of the type R but would be good to see what they are capable off

It’s a sad day when you see a Honda in that state. Shame the structure is corroded as otherwise would be a decent fixer upper for someone, just not really economically viable for the everyday person with the repairs that would need. Maybe get the engine out and find a nice little hatch that’s begging for a k swap?

Well you certainly brought your selves a Yorker there, piston rings gone over heating? was there water in it? did make a great video, what to do with this car is banger racings :-)

Would love to know how much you paid/discounted for it?

The car itself needs a complete overhaul from interior to exterior, then the actual heart (engine) needs a complete overhaul, head gasket, top end and bottom end building back up properly if you skim and take shortcuts itl smoke again not worth the hassle in my opinion.

It would be interesting to find out exactly whats wrong with the engine. Being they are supposed to be bulletproof could be something simple as no coolant or a faulty water pump

How much for the civic

Head gasket just because no residue on oil cap doesn’t mean it’s not the head gasket. It’s 110% coolant getting into combustion chamber

Seems like a head gasket. White smoke is coolant burning in cylinder and high temp shows loss of coolant.

Wow that poor type r is rough. I had one new in 2007 on 57 plate and it was a cracking car for the 3 years I had it

Would say strip it Calv!!But dont think its worth even doing that to it!😂😂

Your a legend mate 😆👌

Jeez how can anyone treat such a great car so badly to get it into that state . I freak out if my car even coughs . I hope you didn’t give more than £ 10 quid for that heap of junk Calvin 🙄

Probably just needs a new O2 sensor or its burning oil or probably the engine coolant temperature it's putting more fuel in because it has no data but the head gasket is definitely blown

Had the exact same car Calv. Mine was concours compared to that 😭😂😂

break it for spares cal if you've the time lol .... great video bud

Had some hammer that mate🤣

Add some steel seal to fix head leak, experiment with some additives?

oil stem seals?

many be velve seals have gone sound like it needs a propa sirvice with the smoke tegiwa would sort you out the bits to repair

Price ??

I've seen this car irl I can't remember where. But I remember seeing the black strip where the reverse lights are and was like NOOO

Yes Cal same would like to see you take the car to vrs or a Honda type r specialist it would be interesting 🤔

Banger race it lol then make some furniture for the binca waiting room from the interior, scrap the rest lol

What a nail lol had a hard life 😂

Give to the lads at Car Throttle they'll know what to do with it👍

Keep rolling rolling rolling lol 🤣

Just put it through a mates rate MOT 🤙🏻

Must have been near the sea with how much rust it has 😂

Change the PCV valve probably sorting out and put a com test on it The only way you’ll kill one of them engines is To run it out of oil

If it's a part ex what did the guy buy from you?

The music this time was pretty good👍🏽
