- It's been quite some time since the launch of the Honda Civic FL5 Type R, and we have been patiently waiting for a test car to be allocated to us - as we understand it, there is only the one car and it is slowly making the rounds through the motoring media, and we actually have no idea as to when it will be our turn, or whether it will ever get to us.
Thus it was a great boon to us to have David, one of our viewers get in touch with yours truly and asked me if I would like to check out his newly-acquired FL5 (Japan Spec model) on our favorite mountain. And the story continues from our initial contact.
The Honda Civic Type R FL5, is the latest iteration of the Civic Type R, and is based on the 11th-generation Civic lineup. Building upon the legacy of its predecessor, the FK8, this sixth-generation model is engineered to thrill enthusiasts.
Under the hood lies the potent KC20C1 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, paired exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission, delivering power to the front wheels.
For Malaysian models, owners will get 319 PS at 6,500 rpm and 420 Nm of torque spanning from 2,600 to 4,000 rpm. As for David, hic car arrived with 400km on the clock, and he has since clocked 4,000 km, and he has done some slight tweaking (Stage 1 tune), and the numbers are 350 hp at the wheels, and 500Nm of torque.
David's FL5 is shod with 19 inch Michelin PS4S, with stock brakes and suspension.
Beyond sheer power, the new FL5 has some significant improvements - An enlarged radiator grille increases airflow by an impressive 48%, while a lighter flywheel and refined rev-match system ensure seamless transitions between gears. The six-speed manual transmission benefits from a high-rigidity lever and optimized shift gate pattern, offering drivers more precise and direct shifts. Complementing these enhancements are a helical-type LSD and an aluminum shift knob, adding to the tactile engagement of the driving experience.
The FL5 Type R's suspension system has also been tuned for increased rigidity, optimizing straight-line stability and steering feedback. Electronically controlled dampers offer three drive modes-Comfort, Sport, and R+-alongside a customizable Individual setting.
Do watch the video and let us know your thoughts - do you think the FL5 is better than the FK8R?
Thanks again David for letting me check out your car. It is well setup, and you don't need to do anything else. Also, anytime you are ready, let's do it again!

age is never been an issue for a legend.
The owners face is like.... Damn... I can never drive like this 😅😂🎉
But he can learn, since he is in the car with me and can see everything first hand.
@@YSKhongDriving
Very true. 🫡
But you will always be the most Legendary
What a bumpy ride, is the cars tuning ok uncle? High rev engine .
Lol
@@viggensaab2020
I drive a 2007 Civic 1.8 FD. Currently for sale 27K
To be honest, rev in between 2-4K rpm is fun, best, and very fuel efficient. It's currently almost 380,000km on it, and still feels like new. 🎉
This is how a master drive a fast car. It feels like motorsports. Its very fast yet you feel its in safe hand.
See the quality of the line taken, how he can corner so quickly and yet so safe, always slowing down to give safety margin for take care of other road users.
This is master level of skills. People should learn stuff like this n upgrade the skills. Then our road would be safer.
Thank you very much for this statement.
Uncle should conduct classes
Yes … Take lessons on track!
Uncle Khong is the only guy that drives up Genting often but never gamble 😁
he is gambling. his life and his passenger. maybe some other road users too.
was about to say the same thing 😂🎉🎉🎉@@lllcinematography
He’s gambling car rides 🤣
Man sad. Man Watch this. Man Happy.
Respect for uncle. Drove so fast, yet safely at the same time
I saw the video thumbnail and straight away knew Uncle is going put on a show for us 🎉
Thank you for supporting.

Managed to bump into Uncle YS in person at KL. Mighty Humble fellow. Like I said uncle, this FL5 vid is what I was waiting forrrrr. Beautiful shiftsssss!
Thank you!

Uncle YS in full attack mode! Can drive up this hill blind folded 😅
The FL5 is a total Monster and this proves that it’ll take time and effort to tame the beast
Uncle Khong + Civic Type R = Uncle R 😁👍
RRRrrrrrrr.......!!!!!!
I remember being driven along the roads to the top of Genting 20+ years ago & thinking… car enthusiasts must love / will love this road
You are absolutely spot on!

The sounds sooooo best

The power of '2nd' gear 😊
Uncle Rock! 🏎️🔥 MVP
that car behind did a good job trying to keep up with a type r too
Great video. Car handles the extra power nicely
Yes, it does.
Aq perhatikan sja kereta belakng tu dr awal.. bukan senang nak kejar hehe.. tpi uncle 1st time bawa FL5 ni.. nice uncle
Power band is good, if suspension soak up more the bounce, it much better 😊

Thats how the real type R should drive. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This a way to get uncle bless the car.
epic owner reaction
Naughty grunty mighty TypeR... cute owner see his face got sucked into the bucket seat❤
Nice torque cant seem to spot a turbo lagged
Nice driving UncleKhong,i suggest is time to have 4K camera for the onboard driving, it will raelly play nice in bigger screen. hehe
My adrenaline after watching him shifting gears perfectly 📈
Yesterday night i saw FL5 in utara selatan highway, it’s damn way nicer than you saw in video man
In car we trust uncle ys khong👍🏻
Beautiful foot work
Thank you very much
Woooo… great camera and sound setup. Felt like I was sitting there with you. 😊
That was the intended effect. Glad you liked it.
Padu sgt ni uncle ahaha 😂 .. orang lama ni dia tenang je
Fantastic drive Unc Khong 👏 🙌
Now, show us the downhill drive back to the foot of the hill. 😊
Downhill was a relaxed drive. And it was heavy traffic so we didn't get any useful footage - no point showing us following traffic at 40 kmh, hahaha.
tbh im not fans of honda but this fl 5 totally caught my eyes kkkkk this is purrrfect car
Terbaik uncle, saya kalau lalu genting pn mmg ambk race line mcm uncle 😂
This car is cool
That thing sounded alive!
Hahaha, it was!
You rock the FL5 Uncle!!!!! Hahahhaa 🤣
owner kecut perut laa sir haha kalau saya pun sama wooo HAHAH
It looks like uncle just having a warm up🤣
4:19 😂 love the suspension and antiroll on this
The owner be like
😮 W T 😮
+R mode is too stiff
Using leather shoes! Omg😆 what a legend you are uncle🙏🏼
Just like ayrton senna when testing the NSX at suzuka
The fastest one I saw. 😮
I also think this car is very fast. Unfortunately there was heavy traffic.
😍😍😍👍👍👍 after watching this video, to me is like a modern FD2R to me. Gonna save up 😂
Yes, that sounds like a great plan. But keep the FD2R too.
@@YSKhongDriving 😅😅😅
YS Kong had a bigger smile driving the M340i.
Finally the car everyone was waiting for uncle to drive uphill! Amazing drive uncle, please let us know which one feels better uphill, FL5 or GR corolla?
Each car has its great points
next time (for the owner) u can try changing the wiper (might be wiper are aging or cannot be use anymore) or try cleanup the windscreen to give better driving view
Looked like the owner said “are u serious uncle….. u drive so fast! Hahaha
Hahaha.
Uncle's video is the best advetising for Honda Malaysia
And the car belongs to a fan. This car is not from the Honda dealer.
Finally
Sorry we took so long. Finally managed to get a car thanks to David.
Owner putting on his bravest face 😅
Owner was very happy at the end.
宝刀未老🎉🎉
Amazing. And the best sounding FL5 I’ve heard. What’s the setup?
All the action happens in 3rd and 4th
Im sure this fl5 is a more engaging drive, but uncle looked to have more fun in the BYD seal imo 😅 or maybe uncle just quiet due to full focus
Dancing in side 😅
Uncle is a BOSS....drives it as cool as if he was a taxi driver! The owner looks like he is sh*tting himself but also looking like he knows he bought the right car! :)
This is who I think I’m driving like when I’m driving my fl5 😂
Hahaha. Yes you can
Typer r ori mari... Memang padu!!!!
You should try to drive again with normal or sport mode.. cause i saw the R+ mode is too stiff for the cornering.. also can see some of the review from japanese profesional driver 😄😄
Uncle YS KHONG can i learn driving from u one day
It doesn't sound too bad tbh
Uncle ys saya cadangkan buat jelajah satu sabah
This guy is Bunta of Genting KL
Uncle doing heel and toe naturally just like normal breathing 😁
u should be my uncle 😂 watching u driving with no pressure
that guy cannot breath
You Know It’s Handle Well if the suspension hard AF. 😊
not how it works
I saw the owner of the car..kecut.hihi..Nice driving uncle
Thanks for supporting our channel.
for a fwd, that steering seems very neutral and sharp...gearchange to die for...3rd and 4th seems a little far but wow...love the car wei!!..t shirt dapat sekali ke ..😬
i like your driving manner than aderen lim 😂. You will take care of the car and take care of other's car or motor on the road. you will slow down when people around. Good driving manner. LIKE!!
car looks really stiff in +R. great driving as always!
Thanks! 👍
that owner must be thinking "there goes my FL5"
Thanks to the owner,btw what happen to the white alpine race shoe?
It was a blue Alpine racing shoe - did some house reno, stuffed it into somewherr and couldn't find it.
This is so much better than Honda Civic Type R
eh? Haha
lol 😂😂😂
huh?
Uncle I notice you drive BYD seal top range like more fun and happy as compare to this FL5. Not sure is my observation right or wrong :D
This FL5 is a serious machine - the enjoyment is of a different type - this car is super quick and needs full attention.
😯How stiff the suspension want to be? Yes
How stiff ? Stiff enough until the foot cam fell off from the vibrations at 13:51 🤣
i think if you wanted the best peformance with Fl5, you need to use the suspension on the soft mode
Race driver said that the R mode suspension is to stiff so better using soft mode
Noted, will try next time😁
+R makes the suspension too much like pogo stick
even in comfort mode the car is pretty stiff
The white shirt guy face : 😃😃😃
Can only see imagine me driving like this in arcade
The dumping on R+ is madness! Feel like on the track. But unfortunately Genting road quality is so bad..
7:08 is a thinking gesture
I think there was a mosquito
Membe sbelah dh cual sgt2 tu.. kaki asyik cari break.. hahahahaa
The owner is holding his lunch in his belly 😂
We went up for breakfasr, so he was running empty then.😄
