I am an FK8 owner and I think the FK2 is so cool! I also think it's a better looking car (FK2) They are all so cool. Front end of the FL5 looks amazing!
Lovely car... he’s done a great job of the mods... Eventuri is absolute quality. We should always remember just because a car isn’t maybe somebody’s cup of tea, it’s the owners pride, joy and passion.. And isn’t that what it’s all about ☺️
I have an FK8 and absolutely love it. This type r is great too. Looks has always had two extremes. If you like it, you will definitely love the car the way it drives. If you don’t like it the looks, that is fine. Go find yourself another car but don’t be disrespectful. Personally I love it
Far better car in than a 140i in every respect. The handling is on another level, such a well sorted car from stock. Anyone who says they prefer a 140i or Golf R obviously doesnt enjoy driving and likes bland looking cars. The most obvious reason is because the finance deal stacks up⁷
Although you have a point as standard the M140i is not a very good handling car, with some mods it can be quite decent and although it looks a bit plain many people like that aspect. I have a preference for a different type of hot hatch personally but the World would be boring of we all drove the same. thing.
im lucky enough to have a CW facelift FK2 (stock atm) as a daily driver, or a daily grinner on michelin ps4s these days ;) the fk2 is the last old style civic imo the interior is very 8th gen but evolved. Zero torque steer at standard config.
I’m in love, just bought a 2016 FK2 on the back of this video. Not being lazy but i have to have that exhaust to go with eventuri intake if you could advise on cobra/custom? Any of the many other systems don’t seem great like this. Also any tips on remap would be much appreciated. Limited on budget but have to get to 400+ bhp somehow…
Rolling and in the bends, yes.. civic is almost 200kg lighter with more torque. But ofcourse 4wd in the wet is great in the golf and the launch is something else.
Fk2 is THE type r. Power and styling. I wouldn't go for stage 2 that exhaust is too much and difficult to get that power down within legal speed limits. I recently remapped the 340i so it's similar power to this type r more torque however and can use every single bhp from 1st gear. Luke stop messing around and remap your m140i you won't regret it. I recommend doing gearbox aswell as there are limiters there that tell the engine to back off!
You've obviously not driven one. Believe me they get the power down, very sophisticated from suspension setup. More more fun and faster around a track / back road than 340i
I'll be honest when I was in my 20s this woukd have been my type of ride but now bit to loud and not just in exhaust tone. Young man in type r makes sense to me.
Each to their own i just absolutely hate FWD cars. But I understand most people start with FWD but I jist never did. Had RWD every car since my first car.
People really should learn how to hold the steering wheel properly. 2fingers, some sort of claw hand style, right hand at 10oclock on the steering wheel etc is not good and not in full control although I suppose he wasn't really pushing in bends.
Maate..at least put your foot down so we can appreciate that vtec. You need to invest in a mic. All i could hear was the engine. Constructive criticism 👍😂
@@cupra2Jock. you’ve been smoking spice too, a fl rs3 makes 480-490bhp stage 1 and is a dsg, these type r do terrible 100-200kmph times, do some research
@@cupra2Jock. 9s 100-200 is slow for a car of this power, my stage 2 cupra was doing 8.3 at 400 and a fl rs3 at 480/490 will do a high 7… so please explain to me how this is faster than a stage 1 fl rs3 in a roll race… deluded
Whats the point in spending lots of money on one of the most crucial parts of a car? Looking good is the most important criteria. Surprised it hasn't got smart price tyres on.
Flow formed is still an improvement over Oem cast alloys, i chose these bolas over OZ HLT range for this reason. I could not be spending £4k+ on full forged Work or Advan this time round 😢
Typical backhanded snide envious reply. Rather than say something nice, say something negative. It’s a great car tastefully done. Unless you can do better stfu.
Sorry never did like the Honda Civic type r and when this came out it was worse it look like something out of space with all the panels on the car it looks to much. so not my cup of tea sorry it looks so ugly but dose sound alsome tho but it not about about the sound and performance

Had an FK2, this video definitely made me miss it. Can only imagine how the Fk8 drives.
@@amapolishplummer i have the fk8 but so much want to have an fk2 next to it :)
Spoke to Stephen not long after buying my FK2 and I’ve got to say he’s making that car to be one of the best looking FK2 out there, very tidy 👍🏻
Excellent car can’t beat a type r 👍🏻
You can. Easily with stock gtr. 😄
@@tomcharlton3503 a GTR is a super car. I had a stage 4 gtr r35 and prefered this fk2.

Id take anything rear wheel drive over front. I stopped wetting the bed years ago.
Agreed much nicer than the boring m140i👍
Track Time Videos I like the Nissan micra cool little car
car looks very nice, just got my eventuri today can't wait to get it fit...then remap time..
Not really my kinda thing but kudos to the owner for creating his dream.
Should review a M235i, would be a good comparison between the N55 and the B58 in your M140i.
Great video! Wish we had these in the U.S.!
Admittaly I don't like the look of the New Honda Civic Type-R. But it looks awesome in that shade of blue 😁
This is a 4-5 year old one not the new shape.
@@tracktimevideos5164 I am talking about that one. This is the new one. And the new one is the new new one. 😉
Bro i have a fk2 white but i love that little details, need to do on mine

Very nice FK2, mint condition and in the best colour imo. Sounds a lot like my ST250
Nice, sounds epic. Wish my fk2 sounded like that🥺. Yes I am jealous
Awesome car, out of the new gen CTRs this is my favorite but that rev hang is annoying AF is it possible to remove it?
Single mass fly, FK8’s fit
I know it's picky but i prefer the Dash/dials on this to the new cars.....
you passed me in Tidworth while filming to lol
I have managed 5.4 sec in my type R i absolutely love my FK2 R
Thats my best so far, think a sub 5 is possible now with the new tyres on a sunny day 👌🏻 i dont like doing it often as the synchros just dont hold up

Custom exhausts are far cheaper and you can have it as you want it 👌🏻 when remapping get it done custom, RDT would be my go to in future
big fan of the civic type r cheers steve 👍 😀
lovely colour!great video!
Thanks bud!
Nice sound 👍. Cobra sport exhaust?
Cobra sport cat, custom resonated exhaust
Have you got the link for the steering wheel and the bigger rear callipers. Thanks.
The steering wheel is from carbon zone Poland mate, check them out on Facebook or Instagram
Rear calliper upgrade is from USA, balladesport
Stunning car. Type R's are fantastic
Best type R ever, mine is 485 hp on wheels ❤❤❤
Very good steering wheel... Where did you buy this? Thank you and nice car
Carbon Zone Poland,
Thank you very much 👍🏻 still coming along with more mods 👌🏻
wow 👍 really nice sound 🤩🤩🤩
Beautiful Type R 😍, is that a perfect fit?
Diffuser, for example?
Best regards
If this car came out of the factory looking like this, I’d still not b surprised
It sounds like NA😍😍
Gotta get that Barnet cut my g.. lovely car tho
Great looking car, where did you buy all the carbon parts? And what are wheels?
Carbon zone Poland for all carbon 👍🏻
@@steveb3914 thanks👍
What is the name of the company that make the steering wheel? Lovely car by the way
Carbonzone poland, thank you 👍🏻
What's your brand's exhaust?
It is custom, but the cat is from Cobra
I can't tell.. but did they talk during this video?
Is this more fun than a golf r stage 2?
Rolling and in the bends, yes.. civic is almost 200kg lighter with more torque. But ofcourse 4wd in the wet is great in the golf and the launch is something else.
Ooopfff... Hi guys its luke here 😂 best intro so far
😂😂
😂😂
Dude you need a Trim 🤣👌🏻
Nicely put together machine, but that waste gate/pop off valve would drive me mad.
Noise is all from the eventuri intake, stock recirculating valve. Its personally my favourite performance part
Class
Lovely car, But just sounds stock to me with a dump valve, compared to other performance cars. But a stunning car 👌
Never seen a Type R driver drive so softly - you have to rag a type R

Lockdown Luke 🤣
You need more outside shots, fly bys n that. Car sounds boring inside except for that intake need to hear it outside
I’d take M140i any days of the week.
Love the M140i. Total beast.
I'll be honest when I was in my 20s this woukd have been my type of ride but now bit to loud and not just in exhaust tone.
Young man in type r makes sense to me.
I would also take the m140i but it needs a lot of mods to be anywhere as near as good as the sharper hot hatches.
The M140i just looks boring!! The FK2 drives as mad as it looks!
@@marcohelmet agreed.
The type R is raw and fun !!
What’s that dustpan on the scuttle panel for?
