With this being the daily I thought why not try a cheap method see how well it does. What's your opinion on the verdict? Enjoy...

@n00baTr00pa Жыл бұрын

Instructions on mine suggests to heat inside of windscreen with lighter or hair dryer to to ensure resin reaches the entire crack but not to use excessive heat as it can cause further damage. My solution to this is simply turn on the car heat setting for windscreen defogger.

Yeah...informative video....maybe worth a shout to say at " prep stage" ..if you have access to a pressure washer..you have a better chance of cleaning engrained dirt from out of the chip/ crack. I did this.."but not on full power"..I just let the water from the pressure washer continually stream into the chip for 5 minutes. It removed a lot of the road grime.

Thanks for this.. very useful.. I had Halfords (motor store retail chain in UK) use a professional kit on a previous stone chip and it was no better or worse than yours... I'd be very happy to have had your result. Thanks

Thanks for your how to guide. I ve got a small chip on my windscreen, not worth paying out £75 for insurance to to fix but I will try out one of these kits. Have you thought about having the cdti remapped for more power?

@FNLEW 3 жыл бұрын

No problem and good luck with it. Personally I don't want to. Simply because I have a car that's already performance based that I'd prefer to improve the Type R rather than get my slower car to match it.

@CarefreeCFC83 3 жыл бұрын

I'm pretty new to the FN2/Honda scene but interested in your channel (shame that the Stealth guy vanished from uploading on his one). You got anymore plans for mods or restoration on your main car - see that you have been uploading FN2 vids for quite a while now and people often move on to new projects? Anyway keep it up mate 👍

@FNLEW 3 жыл бұрын

Yes mate it was a shame that he stopped, really nice guy. Yes mate plenty of plans for the type R. I get quit emotionally attached to my cars so as long as I can help it, the Type R's going nowhere. Cheers buddy 👍🏻

Nice video.. From your personal experience how would you rate the performance of the Type R vs the i-CTDI.. obvs the type R is a type R but 2.2 has nearly 1 and half times more torque?

@FNLEW 3 жыл бұрын

For hills and pulling away, the diesel has it. For handling, high revs, sound and all round fun, the type R every day.

@chocolate_squiggle 2 жыл бұрын

I'm really curious to see the video and your results but I can't listen to what you're saying at the beginning because of that background music that also has lyrics. It's soooo distracting, I don't know why people put any music at all but if you must, at least put plain music and not singing which competes with your own dialogue. It doesn't matter how low the volume it's there and it's immensely distracting.

@99ron30 3 жыл бұрын

Even if it doesn't effect your no claims, the twats will probably still put you on the "CUE Database/register" for making a claim, this does put your insurance up. Don't trust them to be fair with you. You can find out if your on the CUE if you request it from the organisation that runs it. And you can complain to your insurance provider if they have put you on it against their own terms and conditions and make them request for you to be removed from it.

Maybe Next time you post something in my opinion start taking about the subject the viewer has searched for and the video is supposed to be about. For me if they prattle on at the beginning I go to another video. Just feed back.
