I remember this exact car leaving our dealership when we were still open. Special FK8 plates and all. Such fond memories! Not sure if it's the same owner or not, but cars looking great.
@@shutupishful you are right, after i did my research, it was just a few type R at the racetrack , but not all . And it holds more than 4 laps. It eas just a few. My bad.
I love that they made this car quite..I would love to own this car because of that reason...specially if it your daily driver....loud exhaust are fun for a while or every now and then...not an everyday experience.
I've actually thought as a Honda enthusiast just getting a gear knob collection from the type R's and putting them in a display cabinet. I know doing just that wouldn't be cheap. 😅
Owned fk8 for 3yrs now Power is good standard but people say a map just makes it that little better so that's next mod for me. I'm viewing from Scotland GB
The best things about the Type R are the performance capability, chassis balance, low maintenance cost, consumables are pretty cheap (besides tires and brake pads... because my track driving), timing chain instead of timing belt with basically nothing than oil changes and air filter changes that need to be done for the first 100k miles. Track driving warrants more frequent brake fluid changes (but I can do that annually before the start of track season because I use RF-650 Brake Fluid and that stuff is incredible and I was able to run it for the entire year. Are there faster track cars? absolutely... but can you take an FK8 throw some good tires & brakes on and still run with the best of them? ABSOLUTELY. I am only 2 seconds off the lap time of a Porsche GT3RS... a car that obviously cost ALOT more than mine and they are on Cup 2s with alot more power than me. I do have additional things planned like a roll bar and racing seat (mainly for safety)... but when I am done it will be like an OEM plus GT special. I have very mild aero mods planned, nothing flashy (the Type R already looks the part). Then I may consider additional cooling mods and more power... after that that's it.

Clay mate i want one so bad. I already have a civic type r, and im craving another, this time the fk8. I saw a facelift in blue today with the numebrplate 'anime' loved it.
Is that an upgraded steering wheel? If yes what is it? My 2021 Honda Civic Type % has. a sued steering wheel. Not that carbon look with red line at the tope of the wheel? any input on how I could get that?
Short answer: so that you can wake up or alert your whole neighbourhood during a natural disaster, just like an emergency alarm. Ps: that rear wing really saved its otherwise ugly butt and makes it look halfway decent
Most companies making new cars: The vents are cooling it too well, we're gonna have to make them fake vents! Honda: The car is overheating, what could we possibly do? Could we make the fake vents real? Nah. The fact they have overheating issues is seriously ridiculous, how can they go backwards?!
Having the 2021 type r for about 3 months. They are not meant for daily driving. Paint on it was cheap, stock wheels and tires are meant for track not streets. Keep that in mind when buying it. Had to sell mine. Too good of a market to not sell it. Miata ftw.
@@angelgutierrez3943 Well mate it's my own taste and here in Perth I prefer to spend that type of $ on RWD or AWD ,like I said a year ago It's a very nice Type R and AWD would be better
@@danyalag3366 higher maintenance expenses and frequency of replacement of some items than a Honda, sure. There is no leave you stranded type reliability issues with a Mk3 however.
I had one since 2018, earlier this year I traded it for a 2019 mustang gt and couldn't be happier, Fk8 is a extremely capable track car it sounds horrible even with a aftermarket exhaust !!!! Fwd isn't great either no matter how much honda mask it with their technology.
The honda looks good but that’s as far as it goes. There’s absolutely nothing exciting about an over priced front wheel drive car. This is just my opinion. If they made it awd it would be the ultimate weapon.
I don’t even know why this guy even compared the “4 door family sedan” Civic Type R to the DC2 “2 door” Integra Type R. The DC2 is a legendary “2 door” as this car is another “family 4 door sedan” with a turbo engine in it. All these Civic fans are always comparing this 4 door family sedan to the Legendary, iconic Integra Type R. I wouldn’t even compare this car to the Acura RSX Type S. This 4 door family sedan has a turbo engine take out the turbo and it probably won’t even be that fast. I don’t see RSX Type S nor Integra Type R owners selling their cars nowadays. Civic Type R owners buy the car new and they’re already selling them. Goes to show Civic Type R sedans are not that hot. Even the new Supra is a sports car. The 4 door Civic Type R is “not a sports car”. I’ll be fair though the CTR looks pretty fast but that’s as fast as it’ll get as it’s another “4 "heavy" door family sedan” with a turbo engine. A Honda dealer tried to get me to trade my RSX Type S for one of their “4 door family sedans” and that only tells me that RSX and Integra cars are still that fucking hot! Civics are not. I wouldn't trade any RSX/Integra for this heavy "4 door family sedan" Civic Type R with a turbo engine in it.
Short of asking you to get off my lawn, this is way too loud. Drone is coming thought the speakers for F's sake. Totally unneeded for power mods at this level. I need to talk to this guys parents and question what sort of son they're raising.
You are wrong and I disliked the video because of it. 2019 is the best year!!!! 2018< didn't have a volume knob. 2020 and up have added features you don't need that just make the car more expensive for nothing. You know, like a sensor on your windshield.
I realised my younger JDM days are far behind me the first day i owned this car. Sold mine and got a vf clubby lol. Cars a piece of crap and humilating to drive, buzz box dressed like a wanabe transformer. 20yo Col would have punched 35yo Col in the face for this comment.

Love the car Jason! Thanks for tuning in mate🤘🏻
I wanted one but I bought an EK sedan for now because financial issues
There’s just something special about the old Civics!😍👌🏻
Damn, those Type R looked so neat but expensive especially MSRP costing sux. Look forward to see new Type R in next year! That's my dream to get one!
Always loved the newer Hondas. But I won't ever stop daily driving my LS v ek 💪

Making me want a type R
Great video man, interested to see your thoughts on a new i30n dct against the 4cyl turbos you've done on the channel.
i have and 1999 type R i love it
Honda has a winner here.

Thanks for another good vid Clay!

Great car!
Very nice example here, these cars with be worth a fortune in the future I am sure.
what do yo think is comparison ?? Subaru, Honda, VW
You forgot the CTR main rival Renault megane RS
What steering wheel is that? Doesn't look stock.
great review clay!
If only it had a real handbrake
And a less glitchy touch screen…
its a fwd so real handbrake dont matter

First off, i need the money.
The color grading looks soo good man! I'm guessing it's a Sony camera? My Canon 80D looks so so outdated in comparison 😭😭
Thank you brother! Time to jump on the Sony train😁
🔥🔥🔥🔥 love that car
Was the start of the vid shot in cambells cove werribee south? area looks familiar as
l like type R's but l cant enjoy the civic's rear end they need to bring back a modern dc2 version

263kw to the wheels, a little reserve i think considering those bolt ons
I heard someone bought a 1st production line yellow type r 2022 for over a $100k

Nice fk8 ...everything about it i love , is it for sale
The car is up for sale on carsales
I do like the type r and would own but going to turbo my k20a in my ek and be quicker

finally someone else who knows! the FK8 is NOT the ultimate daily driver but it does have a lot of space.
Currently dailying mine, actually thinking about selling mine come the new year. And yeas the market for them is crazy right now.
why not for daily driving?
I daily mines. Just with different wheel and tire set up
I daily drive mine & absolutely love every second of it! A quick rim & tire swap with some PPF for the front, it's made the car perfect.
Nice type R just alot of $$$ for front wheel drive
Why shouldn’t fwd cars be expensive?

😍😍😍😍😍.. great videos…
Mk3 Megane RS 95% of the CTR drive experience and 200% of the aesthetics for 40% of the price.
French cars more unreliable than Scott Morrison doing something productive.
And also 10% of the reliability lol

Enjoy your time at the mechanics
Mk3 megane has got more rawness in handling, clutch feeling and steering.
I almost got this....BUT...Focus RS!
Honda is better
I have to learn how to drive a manual again before i can have this....lol

How do you think it compares to the fd2?
Different class. Mate. Each to their own. Fd2r also can be bolt on
That's standard 300 bhp in Europe???
the new civic 2021 they want 47k drive away, 47k might as well buy a fk8...
