I always forget Japan didn't get the civic coupe. The em1 has always been my favorite civic, I have a red one in my collection. From this video I like the early 2000s style civics, they bring back memories from car shows when i was 18
My cup of tea🤌, man it's amazing seeing so many amazing civics on the road from the Golden Era still around. So many have been cut in half and sent our way, it's nice to see these people still care and are passionate of they're possession. Thank you Dino 🤙 your doing great keep the content coming bud!!
This is quickly and easily made it to my top couple of channels to watch. I can't stand the craze of over saturated "build" vlogs, I want culture. this is it! thank you for the perspective you bring
Although it is originally a rest facility for drivers, did you know that the large number of tourists without cars trespassing and gathering here to take pictures makes it difficult to use the facility as it should be, and the area is sealed off late at night and the police are mobilized in force. If you try to photograph a modified Japanese car, you may be arrested in the worst case. At the very least, you will lose your means of getting home and will have no choice but to consult the police.
Re: 4:55 - not strictly true. The (also) Swindon built FN2 Type R 'Euro' (sold here as the Civic Type R in lieu of the now commonly imported FD2) is also technically sold in Japan. The EP3 shown also was launched around the same time as the DC5 ITR (they're a very similar car underneath), and the CL7 Euro R (along with the UKDM Accords on the same chassis) were also all Japanese built.
There's 4 generations of Civic Type-R's that were built in the UK. I find people often confuse the Euro-R with the european market Accord Type-R. It is a little confusing though.
@@dln.sweeney very good point, I almost entirely forgot about the FK2 and FK8. Given they're K20C turbos however, a part of me just considers them to be an entirely different car.
It's awesome to see the love for the Civic wagons, even saw a third gen! It seems like the wagons get ignored a lot when there are CRX's and Si's available. Great video!
@@dino_dc video idea. I know Japan also has a massive scene for the model cars and some of the biggest model car shops in the world. It's difficult to get English content on them. Also with such big shops there has to be Japanese people who have massive model car collections.
Never a dull day in Daikoku! It looks as if the Civics are all up for some Kanjo racing! Nice mention on the Accord Euro R which is my favorite Honda, it's like a mature gentleman's sedan yet packs a Type R punch. The back drop of Daikoku never cease to mesmerize me as always, those shots of Civics leaving the parking area is simply stunning, would make a great wallpaper!
Man, great video, you're creating some of the most picturesque and atmospheric looking car content. My car of the shows gotta be the Beagle 4x4 shuttle. Thanks man 🤘
Thank you so much for representing the 3G Civics, have never seen so many together (I own 5 myself) and they all had their own styles and flaws. This really made my day 1:17
I get excited every-time i see a Daikoku PA special... I laughed when you said unnecessarily loud hahaha could not agree more. some nice clean builds and some hmmm
After owning 2 SB3's, EF, EG and EK... imo the SB3 is still the best chassis out them all closely followed by EG. The EF and EK are no means bad either, in fact phenomenal in their own right, old civics just hit differently. SB3 have unreal driver feedback, handling limits and just for the raw driving experience they offer. Love seeing SB3 content.

Great video! I loved daikoku when we visited in Feb. Was the best night! EP3’s were hugely popular in Europe. Strangely built in Swindon and shipped back to Japan with DC5 running gear and champ white paint (we didn’t get champ white in the uk for some odd reason) Other type R’s built in the uk were the FN2 Civic Type R and the CH1 accord type R. CL1 and CL7 EuroR’s were both Japan only models. Still odd they were badged as EuroR rather than a type R. Great cars either way.
If I’m right all ep3’s were built here in the uk but the white jdm one was built in Japan I think,I know that ep3’s were built here then imported to Japan for sale
@@dino_dc Thank you so much! Do you remember when we met at Gatebil 2014? I was like „We’ll provably never meet again“ and you replied „You never know“. I still laugh about that, because it might become reality 😂 If there’s any event you attend in the upcoming 2 weeks, let me know please 😊
Dino, the EU civic is the 5 door hatchback. The Type R is the EP3, ‘cause is the 3 door hatchback. ;) In Europe there’s also the EP1 (1.4), EP2 (1.6) and the EP4 (diesel one, don’t remember the displacement). There are 3 different EP3s: the jdm Type R, the european Type R (without LSD and 10hp less than the jdm), and the US SI (with 160hp). Love your work!! Cheers from Portugal!
@@dino_dcHi Dino,do you have any ideas is there any underground car meetup during the Tokyo Auto salon 2024,I would like to experience and attend this kind of event.Could you please enlighten me or notified me when and where they will held this kind of car meetup even.
My fav new channel - I've been a fan of yours since the early days of Speedhunters (2009? 2010?). There's been a void of truly knowledgeable RUclipsrs since Capt. Bradford stopped doing videos.
Oddly enough, the JDM version of the EP3 Type-R is a different spec (Japan keeping the best versions for itself even when production is outsourced to Swindon...) with a DC5-spec K20A engine and gearbox, whereas the UK/EU version used a slightly milder K20A2 which is ~500rpm and 20hp lower in tune. That means that many JDM EP3s have actually been 're-imported' back to UK and typically trade for more money (like-for-like) than the locally-delivered cars. Weird...
So much in my feels with this one. The 90s cailifornia baggey clothes with usdm/jdm flavor of cars. This just doesn't seem real and should be a gta server or something. So cool.
The white Mugen A series from the beginning looks hard! That's one of many picks , when so many golden Era 88-00 civics its really hard to pick just 1. Il take an nsx anyday though
@Dino DC yes sir!!! Such an amazing piece of Japanese engineering. I know your a skyline and older nissan enthusiasts deep down inside. But I love the appreciation you have for anything automotive. Porsche, honda,nissan, I'm sure I'm missing alot because of your Italian roots. Iv been such a big follower of yours, paddy and Larry Chen during speedhunters you guys do such an amazing job. I'm loving the video content
Awesome! 🥳 It is just good car culture, the police should leave these cars alone. FYI, FN2 and FK2 Civic Type R are also built in the UK 🇬🇧 besides the EP3 👍🏻
Thanks for the walkthrough at Daikoku!!! I’m travelling to Tokyo for a week end of May and would love to experience Daikoku or other meet ups. Have any suggestions where I could go because Daikoku seems difficult to head to without a car
That s 94/95 Honda Accord. The roof is not stock it’s a sliding ragtop. Legacy Products is the popular band here is the US. I would like more information on the car if anyone has any? Owner? It’s cool to see a left hand drive accord in Japan
Besides the type R is there really any interest in the 10th gen civic over there? I have yet to find one video of a 10th gen in japan. I know they didnt get the coupe which I find odd, and the sedan didnt sell well. What about the hatch though? Any idea?
i would like to know if theres a website for private sales of cars in japan I am looking for something in particular and cant seem to find it at auction
Do the police ever hassle the car owners? In Australia the police often go through and defect cars for their modifications. Exhaust over legal limit, cars too low, etc etc.
It's a highway rest stop so yes you need a car. A lot of tourists get a taxi from Yokohama station but then end up getting stuck there. I've given plenty of lifts to guys & girls that have gotten stuck there lol
@@dino_dc oh nice. Looking forwarth to it. Very Curios how Japanes folk tune French cars. If my dangerous half knowleg is not wrong then the TU and EW engines have great tuning potentail.
Plenty of Honda variety in this one, not common for the Kanto region! What would you Civic of choice be from this video?
Love them Honda cars!

You’ll get culture here that’s for sure. I also try to present it from a more insider-type perspective rather than the tourist-in-japan view

It’s a culture built around mutual respect. Simple.

FL5 is now built in Japan
What an amazing place!! I would love a EG Type R
Epic

I'm sure we can find one!
good work capturing this stuff bro!!
