I was gunna say 45k into a non boosted Honda but when he said it was his dream car fair play mate. Nice build 👌🏾
Thankyou mate ! Really is a dream car for me , glad you enjoyed!
The whole draw to theese cars is the high revving decent power naturally aspirated motor tho right? Like an s2000 they are really fun to drive its not fast in a straight line but its fun to drive because it rips down a twisty back road at 9000 rpms and on thoose roads not many cars can keep up with high hp. I have a 518 whp rb25 s13 coupe and i enjoy driving my 275 whp 180sx just as much if not more on certain roads
Too many people watch straight line drag races nowadays. This is going to be such a blast on a b road. How it should be 👌🏼
Drag racing 😴😴😴 you know how it should be...especially in the UK.
One the nicest builds I've ever seen, got me FEELing all kind of ways
Ahh man Thankyou so much ! Really appreciate it giving you the good FEEL’s 🫶🏻💯
Finally a genuine Vtec fan, what a beautiful example of this model.
Best build I’ve seen!
Very kind mate ! Thank you , glad you enjoyed the video !
That is probably the best and nicest FD2 iv seen in a long time😍👏🏼, cool video guys, the sound of that civic is unreal..can’t beat a good old V-tec sound track!😅…props to the owner what an unreal build and a genuine car guy who knows his stuff, quality👊🏼💯
Thanks mate really appreciate the kind words! Was so much fun putting it together with bhp and I brings me a smile every day!! Glad you enjoyed the video
@@newripdj more than welcome mate👊🏼👏🏼💯
Pretty cool to come across an owner like this that geeks out about every detail on their car. Learned something new about the chassis differences so that's cool. Nice content as always!
Great video ricky, the build is spot on for some B road blasting. The owner is real enthusiast which is cool to see and really knowledgeable about his car. Imagine staying in the country and commuting to work , every morning and evening you get a good tear up to start and finish your day. Again Lovely build and great content. 👌
Thankyou bud, you’re spot on! Dream car and every day fun :) really is perfect for the UK B roads :) I’m so happy with it and Ricky covered it really well 🎉 glad you enjoyed the vid 🙌
@@newripdj no problem bro, enjoy 🤟
That's too bad for the Americans mate they have to wait until the year 2032
Came from the FD2 Owners Page. Looking forward to this!
Enjoy bro 😎
@@newripdj I am! 😂 My Mugen FK8 has sat still ever since I picked up an FD2.
Well that says something about how great fun they are!
Absolutely love the car. FD2 is definitely something rare that you won’t see much at all! FN2 Champ white edition here and opted for the FD2 RRC inlet manifold on mine to help with power along with other parts. But the vtec revving all the way up to 8.6k on mine is just heaven. Enough power on the road and as you both said, very usable power!
Superb video Tom, absolute credit to you and BHP. love the look of it and it sounds unreal. Watched the video 3 times and you can see your passion for your car shining through man. Honestly can't wait to see the car 🙌 all the best buddy ❤️
Ahh man Thankyou buddy! I’m glad you really enjoyed it mate 😊😊 can’t wait to meet up bud 🍻
Lovely that! not one scrimpy part done. Great power level for fun and I suspect could embarrass a lot of more powerful stuff down the right road 👍 top job and a nice guy to boot. Genuine lol at "let's go a different way home"
Thankyou mate! Certainly enjoyed the process of getting it right, in the right hands around a track im sure it would push some big powerful things out of the way ! 🎉
I've seen a stock FD2 hustling Evos around a tight track. Unbelievable chassis
Been following Tom's car for years on Instagram! Real lovely build, proper car enthusiast 👌🏻
Great video as always Ricky 💙
Ah man Thankyou ! Really appreciate that! Loved your EP3 turbo ! Rocket ship and great build also 👌👌
This car can be described with one word BALANCE, many people doing crazy builds with 800 hp and more but then who has de guts to drive them fast at the track? No one because they are undrivable.. just straight line performance, which is good if you are aiming for drag races.
People these days asks you how much hp your car has and if you say between 250-300 it's like beh, it's ok... but that hp with a lightweight car and a well round balanced car can make suffer many 600 hp cars at the track....
WOW.. I miss that high revving N/A induction roar from the vetec especially with an open cone filter.. takes me back to 2005.. 😊
Loads of amazing FD2 Type R's here in Singapore. Most kept their stock spoilers but added body kits and carbon bonnets, still real clean builds tho. However they cost an avg of 120k to 150k here on the market
270HP NA as a daily, FD2R are the best civic type r ever. Love from Malaysia☺️
Big love back mate! 270 is a great number to enjoy 🙌🙌🫶🏻🙏
Big up to the Geezer you can tell he like his car a lot. Knows it inside out. The only thing I would probably do in the future is a black carbon roof maybe. But certainly a rare car for sure
Thanks mate I really do :) well funny you should say that, a carbon roof from Ready Go Next Japan is on my shipping list 😀😀 you’re right it would fit right in !
Haha wish you all the best. Your car is definitely going up in value in 20 years time when all cars will be electric. Btw carbon wing mirrors too in the future could be handy.
Brilliant video and motor nice to see this content some people are missing the pure driving videos like these
Thankyou mate, honestly it’s just pure joy driving the dream every day!
Beautifully built FD2. These handle like a dream. Seen one on a track day it was as quick as Evos on a tight track. K20a the best 2.litre NA engine ever mass produced. Can't wait to get my DC5 back out to play
Got a fairly stock manual e91 325i and always been dreaming about this particular civic after trying an S2k.... Remap the n53 engine to 270ish HP and give it some nice coilovers & LSD or get one of these hand built sweeeeet civic imports in ANY configuration.... Very different philosophies... Father of 2 here soeaking... Dilemmas ❤ dilemmas 😅
Seems like I'm watching an advertisement for "Feel's" 😂
Seen this down at BHP when I was collecting my R36, Andy was saying a fair amount of coin has been spent on it. Lovely lovely car 👌
Funny enough, I drive past this car daily in Bournemouth!
Pretty cool to see it on your channel, Ricky🙏
Ive never seen him. What a awsome car
the FD2 is my favorite type-r, looks so sick
This is one of my dream garage cars too. Great feature, all cars seems to be either turbo or super charged these days and care more about HP than N/A fun.
Its very easy to buy a fast car that does everything for you isnt it in todays car world ! This car just makes me happy , glad you enjoyed the vid ! I hope you get one mate :D
Hats off to you for not having as a garage queen, built to use and not to look at, man after my own heart 👌🏼 happy motoring
That was always the brief! I appreciate you feel the same way, build it and enjoy it for what it is!!
@@newripdj should get it on a track day mate
You can't beat raw NA vtec power in honda.. that vtec noise is so addictive!! If you see the front of one of these in your rear view mirror.. you just know you gotta move over and let it pass..
Loves these. The RR would be a dream car for me. But I'd take a standard fd2 anytime
Got my JDM EP3 through BHP imports, picked it up in august last year and FEELS FD2 was still there at the time, really cool car.
You saw the behind the scenes!
Really nice example and looks like a proper laugh to drive. Had an EP3 back in the day which was hilarious so this must be riotous.. When did we start using “fenders” instead of “wings”?
It’s because FEELS list them as “front wide fenders” on their site so from there for me 🤷🏼♀️ endless scouring of their catalog 🤓 glad you liked the video and car mate :)
gorgeous car man. feels are the og in the Honda game. I think the owner of spoon use to work at feels so if you look at the parts some are the same. seats intakes brake stoppers to name a few
Thankyou mate ! FEELs IMO deffo rule the fd2 game 😍
@@newripdj another fun fact is that wings fits on a evo lol I have it on mine
shame we didnt get these here but then again, thats what makes them special haha
Superb video, Ricky!
This FD2 is gorgeous - sounds beautiful, more smiles per hour than any 1xxx bhp car and the confidence on the b-roads 🤫
This 💯!!! Glad you enjoyed the car
This is why they love in Asia fd2. The price it’s much more expensive out in Hong Kong for a tidy one it’s around 30k.
That’s a big jump! Very popular in Malaysia arnt they !
Class build bro, 1 of 1 beast you have created ... kudos
Really appreciate that!! Thanks
There are also super rare older honda civic saloons 2 door same as the Fd 2 that you will never or very unlikely to see same style and very comfortable seating position with the gearbox in the same location not on dash like the rest of them this car was at a motor show in Birmingham back in the day I have only seen 2 on the roads they come in dark colours but there is no mention or any documentation neither any information from Honda that's super rare
FD2 Type R will always, for me, be the BEST Type R!
Iv been waiting for an upload bro 😎 hope you are doing good ❤
Thankyou mate! So happy to share it ! 🎉🎉
Enjoyable horsepower! Underrated
The back looks so nice in the picture
Had a DC5, was powerful enough for UK roads, best car I've ever owned. Would love one of these though, I miss that K series induction howl.
Unreal 👌, i have to sit close in my fn2. Clutch position was weird
乗るたびに心踊る車ですよね♪😊
日本製タイプRのファイナルモデルでホンダエンジニアもそれぞれの想いを込めて仕上げた車となっております♪求めていたのは、まさにコレですよね♪
Man's got feels (feelings) for feels
Awesome car and owner seems pretty cool, I had an old EP3 with 250hp and upgraded brakes, suspension and fast road setup, really was a weapon on a b road, as they said, it's useable power and all you really need. Not sure I'd plough 42k into one mind you 🥺
Appreciate that mate 😬 yeah it’s certainly not for everyone to go this wild but I’m glad I did :) hope you enjoyed the vid
Dont think many would either tbh but thats hindsight innit, builds like this just evolve over time, its not like you take 40k and buy everyhing in a day, its just 600 here, 1k there over time lol.......built not bought ftw though.
i hate the youtube algorithm your vids haven’t been showing up in my feed
Looks mega . Would be epic to have it on ITB’s and some more aggressive cams
Yes! I’ve been checking out the full Toda head and ITB combo 👀 glad you enjoyed it :)
Love it mate love the passion
Honda Life ! ! Glad you enjoyed the vid
Flawless motor bud the mans living the dream 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Really appreciate that !! deffo dream car !
@@newripdj no worries bud
FINALLY!!! Great video! 💪🏻
Glad you liked and hopefully worth the wait!
A lovely, enjoyable power level for that weight 👌🏼 looks like a hoot!
Thankyou mate ! Glad you enjoyed it, it’s perfect for roads! But I think ITBs are coming
FD2 TYPE R are so rare in EU, you rather see them more in Asia and North America..
This is my dream build too
Stunning car, you can't beat the sound of vtech
Love me some good K20 content😍 FD2 was just made perfect!
Love FD2’s, need one in my life.
ive got some bad boy b roads id love to get at in this ooooffft what a beaut, defo a all weekend job down donington
This chap is a walking living advert for Feel's, I hope he has shares in the company😂. Car looks ok, but then I'm not a JDM fan
Thanks haha, glad you enjoyed the video, i understand its never going to appeal to everyone !
@@newripdj I respect anyone who puts full passion into their hobby, unfortunately your bank account won't respect it😂 . Once you up the power then I'll start worrying in my German whip😂
@@N1NJAKIDD haha it’s never going to be a straight line rocket, but an engaging B-road drivers car it truly is! I’ve got plans to build the motor to see around 330bhp NA so still some way to go :)
What a car! Although all that money spent on mostly looks and near zero performance gains is definitely not my thing, with just half of that spent on power gains instead could have a fully build K24 in there with well over 300 hp...
Thanks and glad you enjoyed the video! Now the car is looking how I wanted and handles like a dream, it’s onto a fully built 300+ K24 motor, don’t worry I’m not finished with the car 😊😊😊
@@newripdj Awesome, will be a true dream car then ;)
Look like Ricky is the only one he gives it to drive lol
He knows his machine inside out 👍
Thanks buddy absolute dream machine ✌️✌️
Believe the build is flawless: There is no need for more power: Otherwise;
construct another vehicle for power: Even a N57 is a superior undertaking.
Really appreciate that , means a lot, let’s see regarding power 😊
Beautiful car,relatively cheap,epic sound,no wasted power.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video ! useable power = fun as Ricky said , I love the car :)
That car will never die, unreal engines.
Aren’t they great! It’s such a brilliant engine :)
og gassed jamie has the best honda on the web in my opinion love the thing, this is still a motor
筑波サーキット仕様😊
FD2オーナーとしてはうれしい
ホンダ シビックを愛してくれて
ありがとう！
Looks fun to drive with a good level of power.
It’s a brilliant driver car :) glad you enjoyed the vid
it was released in singapore too
I thought the DC5 had the RRC also and the RBC was off the Euro R?
Not that it matters, just some geeky trivia lol
Lovely car the FD2!
Dc5 is RBC ! But still a legendary car, Thankyou mate appreciate the love !
@@newripdj Actually the dc5 is PRC inlet. RBC was the Accord Euro R, RRC was the FD2
@@Jmsborland97 ah there we are ! I was trying to remember from memory lol
I'm not a honda fan. But If I was to have one always liked the look of the fd2
Sick look and you know its bullet proof Honda engines just rev and rev and go and go.
How does it rev match by itself?
Am I the only one who can sense some tension between Jamie and Ricky? Loool @ Ricky propper emphasising how this is better than a dc5 and I swear I've seen some sly shots off Jamie too. Hopes it's all friendly banter but Ricky is the real OG
I mean, I owned 2 dc5’s before building this fd2 and put the box stock my fd2 would run rings around my sorted dc5 , it really is that good!
I'm a dc5r owner. My dream is to build something like this with proper parts. Keeping it n/a.
Lovely NOMDAAAAA money you spent probs could of brought the mugen rr but each to their own what a weapon
Mugen rrs are well over £80-90k now though.
@@darrenviljoen2522 this is the next best thing then ennit I didnt think they was fetching that sort of money jesus christ
@@grantbattle4911 yeah they went from like 40 to 80-90 last time i saw one sell. Tbh wouldnt be surprised if they well over 100k now. Both amazing cars in their own right
@@darrenviljoen2522 yh mate is gotta be the the best ff2 out their
Omg what a car but dang that owner he is dreamy 😍
🙌🙌🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰
Mate that looks sickkkkkkk, wanna get an fk2 and do something similar to this
That would make a great build! Glad you enjoyed the video mate :)
lovely car but please put the correct size plate on the rear
No one should ever underestimate this particular model of honda, even when stock with 220hp it's general set up and suspension the way it drives on any circuit could make alot of cars with more than 100hp more than itself look overrated honestly real talk it's that good. They are exceptional
100% !!! A fantastic car for the track
Bhp doesn't matter in the corners.
@@pictlandpickers1171 depends on the set up of the car to be honest, if a machine can use all the power its got due to its supension and quality level damping then it will be very effective but yes too much power just means wheel spin
It’s a good car, but shame that it comes right before chassis engineering entering the next stages. If it was born on the right time, it will have longer wheelbase and wider wheel thread. A full double wishbone setup and thicker arms is possible.
Does the dc5 use a RBC intake?
Nothing like an NA build in my eyes 👍👌
My friend did a 4piston in his ep3 awsome build
That’s 100% on my list as mentioned! Crazy engines
If Usyk was a car.
- “I’m very feel”
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This one gave me the feels
All the FEEL's ? Hope you enjoyed the vid !
Probably the best FD2 in the UK
Wow very kind mate!! ☺️
YES!
gotta love VTEC
That is a lovely looking motor. FN2 owner here, why didn’t they bring these to Europe :/
Honda said it was "too hardcore" for Europe... :( Thank you mate
@@newripdj No excuse, the FN’s have a terribly stiff ride also, may as well have brought the prettier brother over 😬
@@twillsJKZ I agree! Let us be the judge and all that eh 🤣
I had a 2004 facelift dc5 in pearl blue was a beautiful car and ace to own perfect all rounder, sold it a few years back I do miss it alot, was looking into buying an fd2 as a sporty family 4 door car but If I spend my house deposit again I think I'll end up homeless an single, not sure a hondas worth it tbh😂
It fast becomes an expensive hobby messing about with an old Honda eh 😀😀😀
@@newripdj lovely car that Tom, i bought my DC5 for £12k sold it just over a year later at a £1500 loss to torque GT and that was after I got it mint not like they sold it me, new screen, new scuttle panel, refurbed wheels etc.. etc.. 1 year or so after that the car was worth in excess of 14k!, the prices on these old hondas now is crazy, if my dc5 never had so many poor imperfections in the paint which bugged me or I had the money for a 3k repray I'd still have that car now, currently driving an old 1995 toyota trueno sprinter gtz 1.6l supercharged an i love it makes me smile everyday might have an Fd2 one day who knows.
Sounds like you’ve had an amazing time with them mate ! Thanks mate, and yeah never say never to another Honda! 🤣🤣🙌
dayummm im Feeling this honda x
Only geeza to say mugen right finally😂
Hahaha 😝
My dream car 🥺😍
Awesome video 👊
Glad you enjoyed it mate ☺️🙌🍻
Lovely car, great sounds. Bet it feels amazing to drive haha
It’s fantastic to drive, glad you enjoyed the vid! Thankyou
@@newripdj are you based in Bournemouth. Never seen you about
That's one lovely civic!
Thanks mate! Hope you enjoyed it :D
THIS IS THE CONTENT I CRAVE✅
🔥🔥🔥🤯
The murgen RR are stunning
Sadly they're quite rare to get a hold of now. I like this fd2 type r. But I do like the fd2rr
Luvly car definitely, but it can’t be 45k better than a dc5 surely.
Thaks mate, its my dream car and im not comparing it to a dc5 lol
Class video
