- The 2015 Civic Type-R (FK2) was a Nürburgring lap record holder (briefly), and I passed it up to buy my 2015 Seat Leon Cupra 280. Did I miss out?

Coming back to this video for the 5th time maybe, but this time being a owner of a fk2 ! Feels amazing!
🔥 Same here
The 316i driver in the front really don't give a damn about his mirrors 🤣
They were connected to his indicators...
Oh man I just wanted to slap that idiot
Of course, it is a BMW. I have an FK8 Type R and a 318d would not move over, floored all the way to 180 before he decided it not worth it and moved over :)).
Always a pleasure to watch you drive Dale. Lovely attitude as well.
enjoyed the feed back on this video , thanks Dale
That was a true review, but great job!
Watching others driving fk2 on the ring there is no doubt its another level over others. I this example looked seriously good fast.
Great drive, thanks 😊 🙏🏿 👍🏿
Mega fella! If you ever want to drive our Facelifted FK8 bud your welcome too you’ll frigging love it 🙌❤️✅😎 great vid bud
I'm coming back to this for umpteenth time just love it
Excellent video, very much appreciated unbiased opinion , quite a revelation .
Funny watching this now having been an owner for 2 years, I’ve also had mine remapped. I agree with the looks it’s divisive, but I have some many people come and talk to me and want to know about it. I normally get bored of cars after a year or two but I’m falling more in love with it the better I get as a driver it’s an animal.
Great drive! Great car! I love mine! Mega on a B road!
Damn, that guy in his E36 Shoebox went "full battle mode" , probably thought you wont stand a chance in your "Reiskocher".
At least you waved nicely goodbye to him. :D
What a driver dale u never disappoint.
Really pleased to hear you're still rocking your Cupra. I remember watching the lap videos when you picked it up. Will it make a reappearance on the channel?
nice driving. Thats my old Car ;) Hope you have a lot fun with it ;)
Getting one in 6 months can’t wait 😛
Rich is so right, people and reviews always judge over the look. The car is great.
There are only a handful of FK2 Tracktools because it’s not so easy to get track orientated parts. And the water and oil temps get really high if you drive it faster + the ECU setup is very restrictive and pulls a lot of power when hot.
Wagner intercooler helps a lot with intake temps. Cooling can be upgraded if necessary. But the amount of track parts is low.
As a standard car it works brilliant...but you know how it is to stretch the limits. Problems are waiting in a row to be served.
Great video Dale, would be interesting to see you do a comparison lap with the fk8 type r!
Good idea!
My previous Ringtoy was an Ep3 type R, and I'm looking to buy a FK8 type R, but if I can't, I will definitely going for this model.
Thanks for this video an your return on it.
Great video! Miss the Ring, hope travel restrictions allow a trip soon…
Best review of an FK2 on track by an experienced driver.. Awesome well done!
I'd love a type r estate. Like vag do. But the Cupra is very good looking car.
Very nice test and very nice car.
But I'm not objective as I've also own an FK2 ^^
You don't see them so much as they are pretty rare because it was produce for only 1,5 years at the EOL of the 9th Gen Civic.
And not available on USA (and Japan maybe but not sure), so not many companies worked on aftermarket parts.
Mine only have steel brake lines, StopTech brake pads, RBF 600 fluid, Invidia Catback.
I'm looking to get some front camber adjuster, I order to put just a little more camber. It's a front heavy car so on track I've an outside tyre wear issue (espacially with PS4S tyres as the sidewall is soft)
Now try the FK8, it's even better! Absolutely love this car!
That's the plan!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Not liking Type-R's because of the looks is mental, they look amazing. I've got the exact same one as this
What are your thoughts on the old fn2 Dale?
try the latest one,that is even more fun
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Type R FK2 has identical interior same as every 9th generation except engine and seats. Same interior as Civic Tourer also.😂😂😂 But FK2 is a blast to drive and much stiffer then any other.
Did you drive the i30N yet ? Never came up in conversation so wondering.
Can you test it on really hard braking? usually the rear moves around, some people complain about it.
I was braking pretty hard, and it didn't ever feel dangerous.
I have a fk2 r 400 hp stage 2. Put red stuff pads in it and they transformed the braking. I have found under really hard braking the rear can start to feel a little light sometimes. However this also depends on the speed you're slowing down from. I drive the wheels of mine and can't wait for more power.
Ha ha , the BMW bouncing it’s rear end out of the carousel.
@BTGdale
You spotted that too? Dampers need a twirl, maybe the driver too 😂
@@BTGDale 🤣🤣👍🏻
Hi great video. I have a FK2 and I did'nt get what the car owner has desactivated in the menu before starting. Thank you for your help 👃
Same situation, what’s turned off?
Crash detection@@jordiroysantos3765
I didn't catch the first mod he mentioned. What was installed on the front and rear? Thanks
It was Dixcel brake pads.
Do you really recommend Cup 2's on the Cupra? I've just kept the P Zeros on mine, does it make such a difference Dale?
The Cup 2s really are great on the Cupra
P zeros are crap compared with the cup2.
@@TheTechnoaddict Like Pirelli in F1, crap hahaha :P
Have you driven the FK8 already? How does it compare to this one Dale?
Unfortunately I haven't :(
@@BTGDale if I make it up this sommer or fall then I'd be happy to let you have a drive with my stock fk8.
Is this cupra marketing cuz I’ve heard that a lot in this video
What did he switched off in the car computer?
Rev match
@@statementleaver8095cannot be rev match, this model doesn’t have it
@@jordiroysantos3765 Not every FK2 has it.
Mainly 2015 models.
2016 carbon spec should and any Black edition (15-16)
I own a Black final edition 2017(2 buttons don't work = Rear wiper & wash jet) Rev match & Hill assist....full spec 👍
♥️♥️♥️💗💗👍👍👏👏☀️☀️☀️☀️
7:06 wtf
It's a Honda, rev it
The FK8 is a huge step forwards over this car IMO
What do you think is better?
@@ronshowsyou2 back suspension is the key
@@astorbergonzoni for a high powered FWD car the front is the key. The rear worked well also in TCR.
@@ronshowsyou2 i was talking about the big diference between fk2 and fk8, the big diference is the rear suspension
Seating position for taller people is terrible in the FK2. Way too high. The FK8 fixed that completely.
