    Best looking Honda EVER imo. Great buy man!

    • @PerformanceCarsChannel
      @PerformanceCarsChannel  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Many thanks! I'm glad you like it. Hoping to do some modifications but not crazy stuff.

      Agreed

    • @prodsol-xi7fo
      @prodsol-xi7fo 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I still prefer the FD2. Most aggressive styled Civics imo. I love looking at pictures of these.

      PerformanceCars Good choice.

  • @clutch1767
    @clutch1767 8 ปีที่แล้ว +40

    The throttle response, the quick steering rack and the LSD matches for an amazing drive. it's truly a driver's car and it lives up to the type R heritage. Great buy man.

    • @PerformanceCarsChannel
      @PerformanceCarsChannel  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Many thanks for the comment and support. I'm glad you approve of my purchase. I almost went for the DB8 Integra Type R as I was after 4 doors.

    • @grantkahale8933
      @grantkahale8933 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Anyone know what the steering rack ratio is? Can't find any info on it.

  • @pentastarship9919

    In 2007, Malaysia became the only country outside of Japan to officially launch the FD2R.
    Thanks Honda

  • @immersiveparadox
    @immersiveparadox 6 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Man, I love this design since childhood, I’m so attached to this car. The design still looks modern even after a decade, best make of Honda so far!

  • @petesaxty9140
    @petesaxty9140 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Owned FD2 as well. Would have only have officially been sold in Japan, like dc5, but was also sold in Malaysia after Honda owners campaigned for it. Usual mod is to have Koni rear dampers, also had this mod, put them on softest setting for normal roads. Stiffen them up for track work.

  • @usmanrai1244
    @usmanrai1244 7 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    this is the best type r ever made

  • @Spencer-ty4sl
    @Spencer-ty4sl 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

  • @jamespuckett1770
    @jamespuckett1770 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Its amazing how the 8th gen type r interior is like identical to the Si except the badging and seat colors, gauge is grey and red instead of black and red

    • @tiagop720
      @tiagop720 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      For sure the 8th gen Si its the only one that is not so far from Type-R in many points. Its why the 8th Si have huge fans compared to others Si models.

  • @m.t.3307
    @m.t.3307 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

  • @Carl_JohnsonOGF
    @Carl_JohnsonOGF 8 ปีที่แล้ว +44

    it only weighs 2600 pounds? wow I thought it was heavier than that. Really close to the dc5/ep3

    • @leroyjenkins6809
      @leroyjenkins6809 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      MunroM84 no he said it weights 1kg more

    • @chrismartin1530
      @chrismartin1530 7 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Its about 75kg heavier than the DC5

      Chris Martin because he’s in the thing lol

    • @HTprototype

      Reality is its quite alot heavier than dc5

    • @mj68874
      @mj68874 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The JDM dc5 is 1170kg for the pre facelift base model 1180kg for the c package 1190kg for the facelift model Dc5. The FD2 is 1260kg-1270kg depending on spec with all fluids and a full tank of gas.

  • @sabio101
    @sabio101 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have the CSX (here in North America), and put it on D1 Spec coilovers, Advan wheels, Skunk2 exhaust, K&N intake, whole car is wrapped in Gloss Black Rose. Owned it for 5 years now and it's been a great daily. Wish we had the real type R here in North America tho! Amazing review!

    • @PerformanceCarsChannel
      @PerformanceCarsChannel  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Many thanks for the comment and support 😊 Does the CSX have a similar chassis to the FD2R? That's a nice list of modifications. Do you know how much power it has now?

    • @sabio101
      @sabio101 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yup identical from my understanding and articles I read. It's just re-branded because for some reason North America prefers "Acura" and other Japanese luxury brands over the original Hondas, Nissan and Toyotas... It would be a little under 200. It's by no means fast haha. But it is fun to drive and I really enjoy the handling after my mods and I like the look and it sounds better now as well.

  • @SaahilKumarChathrath
    @SaahilKumarChathrath 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @slaaaaave
    @slaaaaave 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Neat video man, good attention to what the TH-camr really wants; some cleverly edited shots of the gauges during speed tests, the weight statistics, and so on... Like the car a lot, and your video has helped my research efforts considerably. Keep it up - time to subscribe!

    Wish I could get a legit one in the US. I had the US spec civic si, loved it and miss it.

    • @PerformanceCarsChannel
      @PerformanceCarsChannel  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's a shame how the US hardly gets any Type R models.
      Did you sell the Civic Si?

    • @RCPropaganda
      @RCPropaganda 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      PerformanceCars yes I had to sell my si. I had a dc5 before and like the civic best. I miss it so much. I am currently building a 96 civic coupe. k20a going in in 6 months.

      I'm sure you will own it one day if you really want it. I can tell you that it is truly amazing. You won't be disappointed and they are holding their value quite nicely.

  • @chrisdooley6468
    @chrisdooley6468 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hold onto this car if you can. The only one I've seen here in the states is a guy who imported one for racing. I would've bought one if I had the chance. Amazing vehicle. Great review. I'm enjoying your channel. Cheers :)

    • @PerformanceCarsChannel
      @PerformanceCarsChannel  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you for your comment and support :) I will definitely keep hold of it. The engine is so much more responsive than other K20's I have driven in standard form. The car is also very practical too which isn't right for a Type R lol They're usually very compact etc

  • @aiman2191
    @aiman2191 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    • @PerformanceCarsChannel
      @PerformanceCarsChannel  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Muhammad Aiman Salahuddin Thanks for the comment and support. The road used for the FD2R review was very bumpy. I wanted to show you guys the handling rather than just going on a straight stretch of road.
      But for a long journey, it's definitely more comfortable than my s2000.

  • @doderiolarkisso4038
    @doderiolarkisso4038 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    really bummed that this was never sold in switzerland..but then again, we also didn't get the EK9..at least we got the EK4 though

  • @vtecmatt4204
    @vtecmatt4204 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Yeah, the FD2R is a factory sports car that is as close as you can get to a modified tuner car. Sub-3000 lbs. curb weight, 11 lbs. lightweight flywheel, LSD, short final drive, 8000rpm redline, double wishbone rear suspension, lightweight pistons & crankshaft, cams, engine porting, 4-2-1 header, bucket seats, spoiler, rear strut bar, and whatever else the engineers put in.

    • @vtecmatt4204
      @vtecmatt4204 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      The new FK2 and FK8 are derived from their Castrol Honda WTCC Civics, so you really get a race car or a taste of that through the factory, which makes them very unique and intentionally designed cars.

  • @eurotom288
    @eurotom288 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    The FD2 Type R has 225 BHP as standard, but the engine in the Accord Euro R is slightly different, the K20 a in the Accord has a Balance Shaft fitted to reduce Vibration in the Cabin of the car, the Civics engine does not have this, there both fantastic cars, drive safe.

    • @PerformanceCarsChannel
      @PerformanceCarsChannel  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I would love to have the Mugen RR version too. But yes, EK9's are wonderful. My second car review was an EK9 RX and I really enjoyed driving it. Have you done anything to yours or are you keeping it standard?

    • @tharmas13
      @tharmas13 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +PerformanceCars Mine is completly stock and planning to keep it like that. Seeing that a lot of people are using them for what they were made for, namely racing, unmolested stock ones will only become rarer and rarer.

  • @hammychan1
    @hammychan1 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    It would have been so cool if there was an FG2 (2dr version) Type R! In the US our 8th gen FA5 Si is actually very similar to this car. It's an all around softer version but with standard LSD and a K20z3 (197bhp).

    Very good review. Getting me interested in one of these. Vtec @ 4500 rpm though, is that from factory or has it been tuned to engage Vtec at a lower rpm?

    Dude holy shit i see that everywhere in singapore. Most stock, some modded (some rice, some not). But every fd2 type r i see, the rims is changed.

      I know right! When I visited Singapore these were like the usual performance car people drive, I was shocked as these as rare in the UK. They love to modify cars there too! Do you live in Singapore?

    I've got a Jdm Dc5 type r too, always wonder how it feels compared to a Fd2 type r, anyone driven both can tell me? really love the looks of the Fd2 type r as well, Nice vid by the way!

    • @MarkSims77
      @MarkSims77 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Alex Jai I've owned both. Speed wise the FD feels like it has more grunt and its handling is similar to the DC5 once it's had the FRSU done to it.
      I feel the seating position in the DC5 was better as I felt lower but other than that the FD is brilliant

  • @PrzemoV6
    @PrzemoV6 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Stock FD2R weight is 1270 kg and DC5 is 1180 kg according to Best Motoring data. Interesting that FD2 actually weighs less :) (Even with aftermarket exhaust losing 50 kg is impossible)

    • @PerformanceCarsChannel
      @PerformanceCarsChannel  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey PrzemoV6, don't forget that Best Motoring is simply taking their data from manufacturers whereas I actually weigh the car there and then. After weighing all the cars I review, it seems that the numbers are always different to what manufacturers state.

    • @Copestep
      @Copestep 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I wish we got it over here as standard, style wise it beats the FN2 hands down imo. Currently a EP2 Civic done a few bits mugen spoiler, spoon system etc all reps ofcourse haha. Im saving for a DC5 though :)

      Sometimes people make their own Type R's
      by Engine Swapping,
      Making it look like a Type R,
      And make it to not sound like Fart.

    • @soto575
      @soto575 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      can you find a ep3 or fn2 in canada ? i did some research for s2000 and i found them in many auto TRADER but i can find ep3 or fn2 or dc5? they sell only the 9 gen sivic si and i dont like them at all

    • @nousername2932

    • @PerformanceCarsChannel
      @PerformanceCarsChannel  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I had to look up 'CSX-S' as I had no idea what is was lol. It looks very similar to the FD2R exterior wise. Do you still own the CSX-S?

    • @nousername2932
      @nousername2932 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Just sold it 2 months ago!

    • @PerformanceCarsChannel

      I don't think any Civic Type R's was ever sold in Canada or the US. Hopefully 'Ctrl C Ctrl V' will be able to confirm this.

      SilentWraith261 you’d have to wait until 2033 to do it honestly the FA/FG Si close is not too far off from the CTR’s performance you can swap the Final Drive ratios of the FD2 CTR into the USDM Si’s and have a solid aftermarket suspension setup

  • @woo00oo0t
    @woo00oo0t 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    solid vid bro. I have an ep3 and that thing cant do a U-turn to save its life, other than its such an amazing car to drive. Is FD2 worth an upgrade from ep3 or should i look for something else?

    • @haroonnisar9012
      @haroonnisar9012 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      funny when i had my ep3 i was pulling rolling 360s on the street going to work..but the chassis is nothing compared to fg2/fd2
      they are the best chassis they ever did...my fg2 reached 216kmh on ice no studs

    • @jrel210
      @jrel210 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Just turn the direction you want to face, put in some power, let off the power and yank the e brake while counter steering. Then get pulled over by a cop for reckless driving XD.

    • @Y-J65
      @Y-J65 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      jack kim This is definitley a better car then the UK ep3 without doubt. The FD2 will be slightly quicker But if your looking for a noticeable difference between the two you will be disappointed. The FK2 will drop price soon as honda are releasing another type r to much their next gen civic next year

    How did the emissions regulation stop the k20? In the states, the Civic Si had it from 2006-11(197hp), 2012-16 it's was replaced with the k24(205hp) for more low end torque and now it's sadly the 1.5 earth dreams non-vtec turbo. Luckily Honda stretched the wheel base of the Euro civic type R, brought it over with the k20 Vtec Turbo!
