This video is legendary. Watched it 14 years and just come back again for another bite. That ek sounds unreal. What a clip and what a driver not scared to rev the nuts off the old girl. They were expensive even back then, I had my dc2s around this time, good memories!!!!
Yea do like the integras don't see many about. But love ep3's my pals old one had a AME cold air feed and when she hit vtec it roared never heard another type r like it. Iv been looking at the new civic type r and I think the m4s going back to the dealers
Getting an EK9 in a few weeks with a B20 in it, got a CRX VT at the moment. Your EK9 sounds lovely, thought the Seat would have been quicker though but seems I've been proven wrong. Lovely sound!
@CupraLloydyy They already have a turbo engine in the acura rdx. I think that V-TEC was never meant to compete turbo engines, it was meant to compete N/A engines with similar displacements and there it did very well. For my understanding they are forced to switch to turbo because of new emission standards. That is also why they had to discontinue the s2000 with the 2L engine in the US, it then had a 2.2L engine with more torque but less power.
@duhabcdef Ek9s do have a passenger air bag.if u saw a Ek9 without one its either a canadian model,or has the CDM air bag tray in after the airbag was removed.
The FN2 is heavier but the final drive in the gearbox is a 5.10 compared to the EP3's 4.7 which is why the acceleration between the two cars is very similar despite the extra weight. The EP3 & FN2 in standard form are virtually identical in straight line performance. The FN2 would be slightly quicker than an EK9 after 65/70mph but It would be marginal
@walton12341 Thats what i love about them, only ever owned by enthusiasts so theyre really well looked after, i mean come on what other 10 year old car do you know that revs like a bike and can take so much stick and keep coming back for more.
ek9 awsome car to drive as i have one my self , power out of the corners is surpurb as the LSD kicks in for maximum grip. for a 1.6 they fast . but chuck in a b18 lump turbo WOW :)
Dude you're car just sounds the dogs bollocks to be honest, gotta love the sound of the B16, are you running skunk exhaust by any chance? Looking to get one of these as a track project between a few friends
I doubt the Seat is stock though, the big intercooler is a give away, so i bet there is a few other mods. The Ek9's have around 182bhp standard but rarely hold good power, guy in my local owner club has one with decat + filter and with only 60k miles it made 160bhp, they ain't easy to get power out from either in N/A form. They are rapid little cars. The only Honda i'd buy.
umm its an ibiza try with a leon cupra , it has 240hp stock , they say that if u take it to a dyno u will see that the car has 260-270hp , they declared less hp to pay less taxes
robert hdz yeah, i would rather get a civic like the one in the video but where i live there arent , we only have audis and beemers , the cupra is a golf with a seat badge and more powerful than a golf so its a nice car to have, it isnt soooo expensive, with a chip the cupra can easily get 300hp , just with the chip, the s3 costs almost the double here and u get a similiar performance
Dacrazy-can And i think you forget hes racing a naturally aspirated 1.6 litre honda he has no turbo or more engine capacity like the seat ibiza being a 1.8 20v turbo running less power standard than the n/a b16 honda engine which is 185
@CupraLloydyy We don't know if that seat was stock or not,you think it was and I respect that,the civic (engine) certainly was.The weakest cupra turbos were available with 180hp engines over here,it may be that in your region they were offered with 160hp engines.The weakest ones sold here still had 50% more torque than the civic's 1.6L. And no worries,I am not holding any honda shares! :)IMO the 2 later generation CTR are a step backwards.Word is that the next generation CTR will be a 2L turbo.
@CupraLloydyy Boosted engines are easy to tune hence many have extra power. However, it's hard to compare them to a small N/A engine. In motorsports the cupra would have to compete in a higher class than the civic. Keeping that in mind the performace shown by the civic was outstanding and it didn't even show it's full potential (like it would on a track). I have mistaken it for the recent cupra which has a boosted 2L, I am not good with the seat models. It still has a bigger and boosted engine.
@duhabcdef i wasnt saying it was a canadian model, but the replacement air bag tray is a oem canadian part that many people order to replace the air bag.do me a favour check out "Hondadlli's Mek ya machine talk" video and tell me what you notice about the hondas in this video.
Not bad winning against an Ibiza Cupra MkII 1.8 Turbo. The Ibiza has more torque which comes handy at higher gears, but in the end, has 156bhp againsthe 180bhp of the EK9 Type R, which also thanks to high-revving manic VTEC has shorter gear ratios which help to increase wheel torque, so it is no surprise you owned that Ibiza. Amatch against the Cupra R ersion vwith 180bhp would have been very interesting
@duhabcdef iam glad ur 100% sure.just to let u knw iam from Antigua aka Wadadlli.google it,it was in HT magazine some months back. we get jdm cars, american cars are special ordered.ive seen hondas that you will have to fly across the world to see.so if you feel good telling your self i havent seen one merry christmas.
wtf? The Sound of the civic is just from another planet!!!
good job man!
Ela RE BONA MONO HONDAA 🔥♥️♥️
Open window
can't believe this video is still getting attention! been going over 6 years now....
+David Irwin this is a civic, civics are always lovely haha :)
Love your car mate ! Vtec crush em all
Mean while in 2020
Yea you still look fat in this video l😂✌️
Was a turbo fitted when you had the video uploaded?
This video is legendary. Watched it 14 years and just come back again for another bite. That ek sounds unreal. What a clip and what a driver not scared to rev the nuts off the old girl.
They were expensive even back then, I had my dc2s around this time, good memories!!!!
I could never afford one but had my share of 4 different ek4s
this type R sounds angry and hungry yo, she sounds nice
True
that vtec sounds so good, hands down
Anyways Type R's were never built to be fast in the straight line , built to be really fast around the track.
Yea, but they are fast at both. Linear power band, lightness, stable chassis, good ratio gearbox, LSD......... etc.
& it all adds up to a sensational hot hatch that can do it all
With heel-toe downshifts like that, this guy actually deserves this type r.
pacrat90 yup he actually knows how to drive his shit i agree
One of the OG videos
i love watching how N/A 1.6 beat turbo 1.8
There fucking quick for a 1.6 n/a ek9 are worth good money aswell but it's all about the ep3
+Mick Cronin Rather have a DC2 over an ep3. Quicker, handle better, look better and sound better.
Yea do like the integras don't see many about. But love ep3's my pals old one had a AME cold air feed and when she hit vtec it roared never heard another type r like it. Iv been looking at the new civic type r and I think the m4s going back to the dealers
The Power Of Dreams
"objects in mirror are loosing"
:D:D
B16B rocks!!
That ek9 sounds insane when on tec!
Epic!!! Perhaps the loudest ek9 I have heard. Sounded well slick man
brilliant sound from that EK9!
i could listen to that all day
Getting an EK9 in a few weeks with a B20 in it, got a CRX VT at the moment. Your EK9 sounds lovely, thought the Seat would have been quicker though but seems I've been proven wrong. Lovely sound!
Used to love racing civics in my cavalier turbo always the top end got them..
1.7l smoking 2.0ls
that gear change at 0:31 music to my ears!

Jeeeez, this must be the best sounding EK9 I have EVER heard!
EK LOVE! Is the EK stock? I love that rev limiter man,my heart is jumping.
I miss my itr swap civic and I want an ek9 ctr so bad I love that car
reminds me of the 'just a little four cylinder' video fucking excellent! nice job pal
Look at that tracksuit! Polish for sure!
This along with the dc2 and mk1 focus rs are the best fwds ever made total beasts!
That is one beautiful sound b16c in that civic type r sexy Honda vtec baby
that's a nice sound, not sure I would enjoy it on the way to work at 6am but for a weekend runner or show car very nice piece of kit
@Every1sgotamateDAVE I'm so addicted to that sound, i even have this car on GT5 so i can listen to its song haha!
WHAT A SOUND !!!! HONDA ♥
The FN2 is heavier but the final drive in the gearbox is a 5.10 compared to the EP3's 4.7 which is why the acceleration between the two cars is very similar despite the extra weight.

cupras are nice. make good power too. i like to heal toe like that too. good sounds. !
all motor baby !!
Bye bye cupra.... roads are our racetrack :) booooom vtec!
1:16 VTECCCCCCCCC
=D
Yeah, round that area. The cars been sold now though so wont be seeing it around her again!! :(
@Gurdil95 No no no. 2:14 is VTEC. He just stepped on the gas to the max so it sounded like VTEC.
@walton12341 Thats what i love about them, only ever owned by enthusiasts so theyre really well looked after, i mean come on what other 10 year old car do you know that revs like a bike and can take so much stick and keep coming back for more.
ek9 awsome car to drive as i have one my self , power out of the corners is surpurb as the LSD kicks in for maximum grip. for a 1.6 they fast . but chuck in a b18 lump turbo WOW :)
very nice shifting and insane sound..... VTEC JUST KIK IN YO
Fukin love the sound of a vtec wen its on it!!! Bye bye seat!!! Vtec just kicked in yo
Dude you're car just sounds the dogs bollocks to be honest, gotta love the sound of the B16, are you running skunk exhaust by any chance? Looking to get one of these as a track project between a few friends
Man what Engine is in this car to make it sound so Amazing
I doubt the Seat is stock though, the big intercooler is a give away, so i bet there is a few other mods.

umm its an ibiza try with a leon cupra , it has 240hp stock , they say that if u take it to a dyno u will see that the car has 260-270hp , they declared less hp to pay less taxes

You are on crack The LCR doesnt have 240 standard you crackhead, Ive seen many standard pull less than the 210 they are stated to be
*****
the fr has 211 , the cupra has 240
No it doesnt the most powerful lcr in the mk1 is 221bhp The fr was diesel,
Dacrazy-can And i think you forget hes racing a naturally aspirated 1.6 litre honda he has no turbo or more engine capacity like the seat ibiza being a 1.8 20v turbo running less power standard than the n/a b16 honda engine which is 185
Your civic is quuuuuick! Awesome vtec sound
oh shit!!! remarkable sound!!!
nooooooooo!!! what the hell you did to the awesome honda steering weel??
@willbaxter90 Yes, you are right, 185bhp + LSD, for a car of ots size and weight, a hell of a car.
1:16 - 1:45 love this sound...
prangggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
But we should mention that the EK9 is faster around the track and that it has much more tuning capabilities.
Nice sound in that car.
Super sick EK.
Props.
Sounds amazing! nice video, more please!!!!
Baaaaammmmm Smoked f**king Cupra xD
What a damn good Sound :O
b18c type r sounds like to me nice authentic rhd to pretty cool!
1:17 bad ass VTEC sound

if they had seat leon cupra in America i would buy one immediately love those cars
+ANTHONYNI33 Its not a Leon, Its a Ibiza
daym exciting from the start
very good job bro......i loved Honda........
THE POWER OF DREAMS....! JDM POWER.
Seat, volkswagen etc. are not sports cars, are familiar to walk
sounds killer!
@CupraLloydyy We don't know if that seat was stock or not,you think it was and I respect that,the civic (engine) certainly was.The weakest cupra turbos were available with 180hp engines over here,it may be that in your region they were offered with 160hp engines.The weakest ones sold here still had 50% more torque than the civic's 1.6L.

Awesome !! and Great Sound !!! Keep On It ! :)
double clutching... i like it!
I want to be able to heel toe like him :( Sounds so good!!

mate u have a great civic i run a ek9 turbo am putting out 300bhp atm
Applause ... great performance. 185HP vs. 156HP.
ive owned a civic ek and now own a leon cupra... im buying a civic again
No worries dude - EK9 1080KG's, EP3 1240KG's & FN2 1320KG's
@duhabcdef i wasnt saying it was a canadian model, but the replacement air bag tray is a oem canadian part that many people order to replace the air bag.do me a favour check out "Hondadlli's Mek ya machine talk" video and tell me what you notice about the hondas in this video.
wow n thats a standard ek9? unbelievable sound
OMG! Vtec going to work.
Not bad winning against an Ibiza Cupra MkII 1.8 Turbo. The Ibiza has more torque which comes handy at higher gears, but in the end, has 156bhp againsthe 180bhp of the EK9 Type R, which also thanks to high-revving manic VTEC has shorter gear ratios which help to increase wheel torque, so it is no surprise you owned that Ibiza. Amatch against the Cupra R ersion vwith 180bhp would have been very interesting
Fucking sweet ,He had no hope in hell of passing you!
i am now the proud owner of another civic
Best car eever made!
B16a? vs 1.8 20v turbo? or is that a 2.0 turbo?
Dude how could you sell that? :O The noise is just orgasmic!
what air intake do you have? what style ,carbon cold air intake? very very perfect sound :)
Not surprising really is it.
Stock Ibiza Cupra has circa 150bhp
Stock EK9 CTR has circa 185bhp
Plus the Seat will be heavier too
HONDA!
THE POWER OF DREAMS!
@duhabcdef iam glad ur 100% sure.just to let u knw iam from Antigua aka Wadadlli.google it,it was in HT magazine some months back. we get jdm cars, american cars are special ordered.ive seen hondas that you will have to fly across the world to see.so if you feel good telling your self i havent seen one merry christmas.
nice vtec sound do u still own the ek9 type r
What you Got in that thing, i like the sound when he shifts at the beginning
a stock ek9 will never beat a ep3. the ep3 is K20 one of the best honda engines.
