goes well that for n/a. all type r’s come alive on track but the fd is in a league of its own out there
It's my favourite Civic. Probably the last true Type R. It's a shame it didn't make it to Europe legally.
It is legal, it just wasnt imported new
It's not illegal in Europe
@@Riknos It is in my country. It's freaking hard to import them due to gas emissions.
It's not that hard in the Netherlands, Germany or RHD countries but try to do so in Spain. You'll eat shit.
@@acwmq Not where I live.
I now own this exact car! Absolutely love it. Alex is a sound guy and I’m glad I managed to get a hold of this example! 👌🏻
Sick!!! This is a dream! I’m trying to convert my white hybrid to this at least to match the looks!
@@YaminChaudhry I have since sold the car to a friend but I do miss it!
Really enjoyed that mate such a well put together video. Glad o could break your FD2 virginity 😂. Your have to try it next trackday we are at together.
What are your wheel/tire specs if i may ask.
Do you have rubbing or fender/arch work done ?
Car looks amazing mate !
Decent bloke for asking you shout if you want him to slow down. I am not a good passenger, and the worst feeling is asking someone to slow down and them ignore the request ! Love the FD2, proper sorted track car right out the box.
Always say that to passengers just in case they get a bit worried once out. I know Adam sometimes isn’t a good passenger 😂
Had an FD2 last year, phenomenal car, outstanding performance and they look so sick with just a few bits. Just didn't think they have the character of the old 90s Hondas.
I'm torn on getting an ef8 crx or fd2 typer
Great video! Thoroughly enjoyed it! Amazing car and the owner seemed a really nice guy as well.
Awesome video! Car looks great and seems to handle a dream! So gutted we didn’t get these in the U.K.
Great work again Adam, look forward to the other future projects you got coming up.
God it makes me realise how much I need to get my dc5 on track. Looks like fun!
Never been much of a Civic fan (with the exception of the Jordan Civic from 99).
But they're growing on me!
This wast the best Civic ever imo. Amazing car, worth every penny
Eg???.......
@@googleuser6440 EGs are cool, but I prefer this.
Always loved the look of the FD2, was surprised at how well it goes for such a chunky car!!
Its still a very light car, lighter than the 3 door FN2 that we got here.
@@kerrinmarr9204 that's pretty crazy!! You wouldn't think it looking at it, I was always surprised at how well my FN2 went as well though when i first bought that.
Loving the 80s vibe at the start mate!
Apart from am EK9 this would be a definite yes please love a K20 sound track 👍
I can feel how good that quick shifter is from here!
The 80s style intro is 👌🏼
Such an awesome chassis so I’ve heard even better than integra and just about everything at price point for year
My favourite wheels the CE28. Nice car
Compared to old Honda's the weight of FD2 is high, but compared to any new 4 door
Props to Alex
Great video, great car. Buuuut, he asked have you ever driven one, I was expecting him to say jump in and have a go and he said you'll have to drive one some day. 😲 Noooo 😆😆
Haha I said your have to have a go some day as in go out in mine. I trust Adam, man can drive 😁
@@alexwilson9776 haha, I was just eager to see his reaction. I was patient enough with the EG build, I'm sure I can be patient enough to wait until next time 😉😆
wonderful machine
Lovely car, gear ratios and suspension seem just right pretty much out of the box too.
I can't decide whether I like the CL7 or the FD2 more, FD2 is 3x the price here though.
I am going with a CL7R because of the price..
Had the CL7, amazing engine and car but heavy. just got the FD2r - simply amazing!!!
This guy seems to working hard on his channel and has 60k subs where as Adam C goes to car meets and watches cars drive by and has 400k subs ,iam i missing something here? no dig at either Adams.
Variety. Some channels get stuck on 1 or 2 marques and inevitably won't go anywhere as they are only appealing to a small proportion of enthusiasts. Unfortuantely this channel is stuck on Hondas and the odd BMW.
Don't get me wrong FD2'S are amazing and i love them !! A great fun little track car , But to be honest I wish Honda had kept with RECARO for there seats instead of doing there own thing , I personally think a Red or a Black optional color seat of a SR7 Recaro would of topped the whole package off (plus keeping it modern in the interior) , even if it was for the jdm market for the fd2 , ... As the stock seats are / seem a little tacky, after years of recaro's that try a little hard but are not that real R thing , ....
I do agree with you on the seats. Pole positions will go in one day
@@alexwilson9776 oh awesome !! They will look great , very similar to the mugen RR seats right ? .. or tho the rr seats are still back adjustable.... Yeah as you know been a car guy about the recaros line the R hondas Na1s Na2s ek9s dc2s db8s cl1s dc5s ep3s cl7s all had recaros , so to chuck the linage away really annoyed me , . Or tho putting in aftermaket Recaos in is a way to go its kinda just not the same right , as silly as that sounds , if i had the money at the time buying a new fd2r , or and if there was an option for them you would honestly just tick it even if it was 3 to 4 grand more (nzd) at the time or tho i guess thats personal taste , .. and it doest take away the fact fd2r is a amazing R chassis at all with the k20a and box/lsd, body rigidity, bodystyling , breaking, etc
Great vid, love that car
Enjoyed that mate.
Hey Adam good video man. Looked like you guys had a lot of fun. They truly are a car that gets slept on a little. Right after I bought my 97 hatch I bought an 08 si sedan. There so much fun. They only weigh 80 ish pounds more than a two door. Keep the videos coming they’ve been great. Take care of yourself and keep having fun Adam.
This the one on Dreamcar Giveaways? Spec seems identical. Sweet ride, I bought a ticket
Love the FD2, was looking for one a while back but couldn't find a decent one, got an FK2 instead
FK2 is a decent choice though, not as 'pure' as the FD2 but quicker point-to-point and on track.
@@jase_llan Oh yeah for definite, I love it, just wanted that Vtec magic, FK2 is a very different thing
Going racing with ce28s must be Crazy 😯 Nice almost went for 1 but ended with fk8 ✊
thats what theyre built for man!
Was his digital speedo in KM/H or MPH?
mph
Hey adam,love your eggs and i badly want a EG6
May i know the name of the gearbox?
No heel and toe action?
Should’ve never got rid of my Honda. True drivers car. Focus ST is nice but it doesn’t have soul like a k20.
Is this thing bone stock , or is it in any way modified ? Exhaust and intake sounds a little louder than I'd expect stock components to be , what tires and size are you using also if you don't mind ? Stock suspension or no?
Hey man, it’s got a lot of mugen stuff on it, we went over most mods in the video :)
🔥🔥❤❤👍👍
Loved this!!! Hope there's more?
yes maet 3 more! all of which are available to members now, be live on normal youtube across next week!
@@adamivell Awesome Adam! Thanx! I'll be looking forward to them! Cheers!
@@adamivell PS: 80s feel on the intro was AWESOME!
Love that car it suck we didn't get those in the states the si one isn't bad but the looks of those are way better!!!
Here in Canada we have the exclusive Acura CSX which is actually the car this type r design was modelled after.
If you have an 8th gen it’s quite simple to to the headlight/taillight conversion
@@MonkeyAssasin25 lol funny you said that i saw this girl at a gas station with one of those i was like wth is that never saw one again after that!😅
rim saiz pls?
New project🤔
Why on earth didnt honda sell this in the uk .. fn2 in comparisons just not in the same league
Apparently too track focused, which makes no sense as track specials sell well in the UK
Don't under estimate the fn2 very capable on track I've done many
Its not a type r!!! Its a family car with all them doors!! 😂😂😂
Those doors*
