- This car caught my eye when it was up for sale online, I just had to have it! I’ve never owned a Honda so what a great way to start!
So far so good, they handle great for a front wheel drive car, Honda got it so right!
If you have a car you would like to see on the channel then get it touch 👍
Enjoy the video and please subscribe so I can keep the content coming 👍
Had one for 6 1/2 years and loved it.
Thought these were butt ugly when they released, but they’ve aged like fine wine… more aggressive than the FN2 without being over the top like the FK8
The shape aswell, so sleep, the.silhoutte from the front is so sharp and aerodrynamic
yeah, this is def the best looking modern CTR
Agreed for me the fd2 mugen rr is the best looking civic
Not cheap I didn't catch the price but I bet there's 25k worth there 😮
People used to bash the fk2 but it looks class.
I purchased my first ever Honda back in July this year. It's a 2018 Civic Type R FK8 in Brilliant Sporty Blue. I drove all the way to the top of Scotland from Dorset to get it! I absolutely love the car, and really enjoyed my road trip to The Netherlands in it back in August this year.
I only drove that distance as it's in mint condition! :D
Fair play buddy , never sell it as your regret it 👍
Loved mine, sold it for a lotus exige beginning this year. It’s worth mapping it as it adds a decent amount of power, I also added an eventuri intake. I had 370bhp and 500nm. Just get done decent tyres lol
What I did find is it became a bit more frustrating to drive more of the time, it would spin in 1/2/3 gear even with decent pedal inputs. When it was dry though it came alive. If I had it again I’d keep some semi slicks for the summer. Also it’s cheap to remove the silencer under the drivers seat which adds a bit more noise without the drone. Enjoy
Thanks buddy 👍
I love that type R version. I desperately want one 😢.... I have a Civic SE of that type it's great but I still want a type R in black..
@@philledger8261 one day! It’s a great car to own.
Amazing car mate and congratulations on it I have a fn2 at the moment but looking to upgrade to a fk2 as well soon and the lights are called shift lights enjoy it I know I would 😂👍
🤣🤣 thanks buddy
Not cheap about 25k there I bet
Can I be cheeky & ask the price lol ?
Best hot hatches ever made the Civic Type Rs, this one its hard to believe its a 10nyear old design, looks brand new and more modern than your boring and bland Golfs, Focus, A3s etc
To be honest, the Megane RS is just as good, maybe even better since it doesn't look like a boy ricer.
It's way older than 10 years is the design
@DaleSteel 12 years then as they came out in 2012, and the facelift in 2016 so 8 years for that in 2024.
It's ugly. The FN2 looked somewhat unique with its wing but this just looks hideous
Hold up. Forget the R, look at that red evo across the road 😍
🤣🤣 that will be on the channel soon 🤣
Stunning that is mate
@@lukejenkins9341 4 wheel drive is the way to go with fast cars. You can't beat it for grip and handling at speed.
That's what i spotted.
FQ stands for you know what.
Cracking car mate, moved a few years ago from Ireland to austria and got myself an fn2 mugen rep, neighbour has a white fk2 and it's just such a well designed car. just enough wild flares without being over the top and sounds great!
Thanks mate 👍
hope your channel blows up, liked and commented.
Thank you 👍
@3:40 Those are called Turbulators or vortex generator. They trip the air at high speed. Producing a boundary layer so air pressure detaches later. Meaning less drag. Improved aerodynamics.
Thanks mate 👍
I had an FN2 and when I saw this was coming out I couldn’t stand it. But it’s aged on me better now and it’s not so bad. The exhaust does drone at motorway speed though. For me the FK8 sorted all these issues out and has even more power, that’s my favourite at the moment.
I thought the same when they first came out 👍 thank you 👍
I had one of those … great fun but I eventually tired of high revs all the time even when cruising on the motorway etc … but I now have a FK2 variant .. and extra 100bhp thanks to the turbo but a far better car day to day … but it’s still a hooligan when you want it to be
I have one in Championship white as well, except my mirrors and grille are completely black. Bought it in February. Apart from some minor Spoon and Mugen parts, i keep it stock. Only 8000 of these were built. I live in the Netherlands, where tuning parts are a bit more expensive to come by, since a lot of them have to be shipped from the UK. If you want to tune it, watch Dream Automotive's videos, they sell a lot of parts and services. Mugen has some parts for the FK2, but they are rare, since this Type-R was only in production for 2 years. Spoon (The best Honda tuner outside of Mugen) has some nice parts as well. Subbed!
Thanks buddy il go check them out 👍
1 of my all time favourite cars I've owned was a honda accord type R.currently driving a mk 4 focus st
I have owned a grey one since early 2017 and still love it. Great car and only 15,000 on the clock.
Its that good you're only driving 40 miles a week in it........
Incredible car, i had one for about 4 years.
Had the FK2 for 4 years! So much fun! Enjoy it mate 👍🏻
Thanks buddy 🙏
That's a dream car right there, have fun learning how to drive it picking the right ref range ,I've got the fn2 GT. Great car. Puts a massive smile on my face. I've driven that one and it's got enough power to worry. Some very expensive ones. The technology on those front two wheels is very clever to stop the torque steer Honda have brilliant engineers, As you said, I drove a powerful focus st once and every time the turbo kicked in. It tried to throw you in the bushes😂
Beautiful car! My 1.6 idtec comes with the reverse camera, front and rear sensors, dual climate control, most are specced with these.
Hope to own an fk2 one day, had a mk8 fn2 type r before my mk9 diesel, mk9’s are the nicest civic for me
What a great car, I’d love one of these, I had a brand new type S and loved that, so this would be the dogs blocks I’m sure. Thanks for showing this.. ps had the same problem with the steering wheel and the speedo in my type S
Thank you 🙏 they are great cars, another video on this car coming soon 👍
Great video! Also great to finally have a car video with someone using a mic on their body - all the vocals were crystal clear. So many people doing videos and the audio is a mess!
Thank you 🙏
thats nice in white ive got one in grey not had any issues in 2yrs i change the engine oil twice a yr
Change the engine twice a year 😂.
@@Buck3366 was meant to say engine oil if it was a VW I'd probably need to change it twice a yr
Mine is grey. Love it!
Just subscribed 👍🏻 I had one of these FK2s a few years back, followed by a FK8, refuse to pay £50k for the FL5 so bought a 2 year old Mk 5 Supra and I love it! 😍
Thank you, got a supra video coming out in a couple of weeks 👍
@ nice 👌🏻 I look forward to it, I also had a mk4 Supra years ago too. lol I’ve had so many cars over the years, I’m just a lifelong petrolhead.
LOVE IT! Only thing that lets it down is the wheels, really don’t like the black with red lip. Silver or matching championship white always looks better. Enjoy the new toy, jealous!
Thanks buddy, wheels are currently off the car, another video coming soon 👍
Get the Dream Automotive seat covers. Eventuri intake and job done! One important thing to change is the radiator clamp set! Nearly all are rusty n leak causing head gasket failures
Oh thank you il google them 👍
I have no idea what these cars have such a bad reputation here in the UK. In the U.S. and Japan they are the standards to beat!
I really enjoyed seeing a non-Honda person drive a Honda and discover what an amazing car for the money they truly are! I enjoyed your video and hope you will enjoy your new Honda for many years to come!
BTW when I first moved to the UK I immediately bought an FN Civic then a Honda S2000! Because Hondas are so under appreciated here as a result they are cheap as chips! Keep up the great work mate! Cheers!
Thanks buddy , loving the civic so far, be another video coming out soon 👍
they turn into absolute rust buckets on our roads is why. Might be different now but it's hard to change a reputation once it's there
I own one of these GT specs fk2 type r 15 plate 325 off factory line :) in white!. And im very pleased with it, owned now for well over a year done some tasty mods to it and Remapped to 411. I drove from London to Santapod roughly 3 hour journey for me, and i was getting 52.5MPG I do have a track video of it standard on my channel if you're interested but you've earned my subscription. Will defo keep watching the videos on this see what you do for the future! Heads up if you like the turbo noises it creates, 100% recommend getting an induction kit it changes it completely its amazing! oh and heads up don't get a aftermarket forge dumpvavle if you get it remapped it will just boost leak past 1,3 bar these can push to atleast 2.0 Bar of boost in perfect conditions.
Thank you, was thinking new exhaust system first 👍
Looks absolutely mint ,lovely car. If I were you I'd keep it as stock ,these also really hold their money 😊
Thanks buddy, only thing I was thinking of doing was changing the exhaust as it’s a bit quiet! Another video will be out on this in next couple of weeks 👍
@ that's not a bad idea ,my misses has an FK8 for 3 years ,great car so reliable,you won't have any issues with that at all 😊
No way. I really considered buying this from Reo car sales. It's in beautiful condition.
I have also just bought a 2016 white fk2 type R with the exterior red pack, just like this one. Fantastic motor
Thanks mate, I’ve got a few little things to do as it’s not as mint as I like!
First thing is the wheels next week 👍
I bought one in red about 15 years ago. It wasn't a great car by any means, but, it never ever let me down in the 3 year's i owned it. All it need over that time was a new battery and a light bulb. I wouldn't buy the newest model because its not pretty and the price is very high. The model you have, can be picked up really cheap and for the money, are great fun little motors.
i had a imported EK9.....loved it!
There great cars 👍
Mate, car looks like a one hit wonder. Telling you now, in 3 years time, I will own this car. I feel like the newer civic type r's (2018-2022) are abit too much. This Exact year of honda civic type r is perfect. Just looking stunning, everything about it is a dream especially for its price its a killer.
Yay! Love the Honda Type R!
You will absolutely love that honda. In honesty, you should see if you can drive some of the older non turbo models and see why we love the character of vtec so much 👌👍
Thanks buddy 👍 yeah definitely going to try the older ones 👍
Shame we didn't get this in the States
The States have the stupidest rules regarding cars - there's so many brilliant motors you didn't get
Looks so good in CW and as you put the costa cup on the rear wing. I convinced my mate to buy the dark grey one as he was about to buy a bloody Skoda VRS. No regrets choosing the FK2 my mate said. 24:10
This one has the red/rallye pack.
Grille, mirrors , n the rear red bits
Respect 👍
Now the comparison to Mine
17 plate
1/100
Tag = SE 0401
Black edition with UK Rally Red pack...Grille,Wingmirrors & Spoiler ends in Red
Black Seats
Anodized Red Air vents
All round Drilled & Groved Discs
Paid 17,250 cash 2021
Daily Driver.......Never Skipped a Beat 👍
Love the Party trick Rear Seats and FK2 doesn't have a Fake Exhaust sound from Speaker 👌 😍
Sounds like a very nice car 👍
@barrettsreviews Yes extremely well looked after!!
Hope You enjoy Yourself in Your wonderful example 👍
This is my dream car. Congratulations
Thanks mate 👍
Great i want a civic type r now
Nice presenting style,just subbed.
Thank you 👍
Oil pressure is way high 8.4
I’d check oil level or oil pressure sensor
Mine idles at 1.1 when upto temp.
Think it needs a new sensor 👍
That thing is a weapon, cars not bad either !
I thought these things were fast until I raced one up in the bmw m140i kept had to back off cos I was going into it’s rear bumper
Looks really clean. I’ve got a Blue one which I’ve had for 6 years now.
She needs a few bits doing, so will be going to my local Bodyshop and I will bring a video out on that as well, there great cars 👍
@ if you’re looking at simple mods. A Remus responder will plug in to the pedal and allow you to make the pedal sensitivity better without having to use R mode.
Pannel filter will make your intake wooshes louder. You can also have the oil temp gages etc on the screen without having it in R mode.
what a beauty !
Get a Rear Motor Mount upgrade. You'll love how it drives at a cost of slight NVH increase. Not sure if PRL makes on for FK2 though
Switched recently from FN to FK2 great great car. Forget old school VTEC the real power comes from Turbo.
To true mate 👍
Oil pressure looks a bit high there mate. Should sit around the 5.4 mark although it does move around a bit. Could have been a bit over filled. EDIT - actually looks like it might be broken as yours seems just stuck at 8.4. It should change with throttle input.
Thank you mate, il check that today 👍
@@barrettsreviews should just be a new oil pressure sensor and you'll be all good. Not too expensive.
@@brahmz - The FK2 doesn't have an oil pressure sensor. The oil pressure is calculated from ECU.
I bought my fk2 type r last year now it’s a show stopper Itasha 😊
Looks really clean that. I have an fk8. I see you spent no time taking that sticker off the number plate. I wouldn’t be reversing off the truck though if let the driver do it.
Just subbed mate👍
@@lukejenkins9341 thank you
@@barrettsreviews you will soon be on 1k mate
Neighbours Evo looked nice too 😊
That’s will be on here soon buddy 👍
Very nice mate 👌
the back of the car looks so sick. but i would still prefer the golf r anyday. still dope car
@philippmogg5514 golf r are a great all round car, but for me lost the feel of a hot hatch, yes it's fast, but you don't have the feel and feed back you get from the type r. Things like the turbo lag and the dose noise, the feed back through the wheel, the fact you know there no fancy traction control 4 wheel drive to save you, just a more raw driving feel. Hard to explain. Type r is made to be a race ready and does apologise for it, remeber is was the fastest fwd round the ring and only beaten by car with out rear seats and rollcages. Golf r is a more Day to day fast car and all rounder, but just a little dull driving feedback. Golf r has no ring records. A better comparison would be a gti to the type r, and for me the type r wins. Both great but different cars and that what makes car great the variety and what make the schene great as we all have different tastes.
@simongphotography great insights thx m8. I consider saving up a bit more for the New bmw m2 but the r is alot cheaper so its a tough call
Looks mint
Thank you 🙏
I like this car a lot. I have a 2017 Fiesta ST 180 its a really nice example but I would happily have this Honda. I like everything about this car except the big front H badge. I don't know how you feel about it but I would be taking it off 😅
The only thing I don’t like is the stop start! Drives me crazy !
You might have a disable button. But you have to press it again every time you switch the engine back on I think
@@barrettsreviews I've just found out you can buy an autostop eliminator.
I'll be paying a visit to that street tonight 🚗💨💨💨🚓
That red evo at the start
That will be on soon buddy 👍
Looks mega! Congratulations :)
Thank you 👍
beautiful car
We agree!👍
@8:12 whats that camera that you use to stand it in corner mate, great video
Thanks buddy, I use my iPhone 16 👍
You can fixed that shiny leather on the steering wheel easily. Just take a kitchen sponge eraser , and spray some leather cleaner , and rub out the oils and dirt. It will return to its original factory look.
Top tip sorted it thank you 👍
bonkers styling, but in 2024 it has grown on me
Same 👍
Hi nice fk2 mate I’ve got a ep3 Hondas are sound car’s Dynodaze car parts they are good they have a Honda meet at the end of every month and they can map your car too so your car is lovely could do with a sports exhaust and induction kit that should give you some extra power
Thanks buddy, il look into that meet, definitely be changing the exhaust 👍
@@barrettsreviews ok they are good gang and meeting Honda people it’s really nice and they have a chat in the morning so you can ask questions on there if you are interested I’m on there most days everyone is friendly so we all help each other and have days out sometimes or go other car meets together so you could get content at car shows or meets so might be good for your channel too
Oh forgot to say if you want to go the car meets on the last Saturday of every month it’s a good crowd and you can have something to drink and eat it’s well nice hope to see you there
I had a fk2 a few years ago its total bonkers in R mode had a fk8 and now have a fl5
Is FL5 much of an improvement over FK8? I think they are essentially the same car given the same engine but packaged in a slightly better frame.
I had a fk2 from brand new , 1st change tires to Michelin 4s , 2nd fit new eventuri air intake system, 3rd remap, that's all you need , you'll be pushing 400 bhp , don't do much more to power you get to much wheel spin up after 400bhp , great car hope you enjoy it 🎉
Thank you 👍 another video will be out soon of what I’ve done so far 👍
My favorite Type-R, but of course we didn't get it in the US. 😒
Such a shame as there great cars 👍
I’ve got same colour had mine over 5yrs. Won’t be selling it anytime soon
There great 👍
Love it but where can you find a good one? These cars usually are not treated very well.
Just keep looking and don’t buy a cheap one! Spend a bit extra and get a good one 👍
First thing il do is bigger profile tyres
what i wanted, but since we didnt get those, i ended up getting the fk8
Sure the FK8 is a great car 👍
@ it is, i just like how these look better 🤣
Nice! I had a Civic Type FN2 in the same colour.
Oil pressure to high there! Also it's not moving. Might need a new sensor
Thanks buddy, someone else said that, will have to change the sensor and hope it fixes it 👍
I live in America and I had no idea this was a thing. Looks sick! Is Americans don’t get any of these cool performance cars.
I love the vented flares, however I’m not a fan of the front. But that quad exhaust looks good on this car. I own a GR Corolla and I’m salty we never got the Yaris GR…
Thanks bud, are you able to import these cars after 25 years ?
@Duuhvis
Hope you are enjoying your GR Corolla, ironically I wish we got those over here in the UK.
I’ve had my GRY for nearly three years now and have zero plans to ever sell but if a GR Corolla came over I’d make room in the garage. Both amazing cars from Toyota.
Man where did you get this car?
It's from Reo car sales in south Wales. I nearly bought this actual car. But ended up getting an almost identical car from Liverpool. Weirdly, we both picked up our white type R's on the same day (Sunday last week)
@BlundenCrypto WOW, wish I was overseas to get that type r kind. In the US they didn't come here I see. I'm a mile from Elvis house
Have you done a mot history check?
Much rather that red EVO 😂
🤣🤣🫢 soon 👍
Prefer my, 20 15 golf R stage 1,all wheel drive 385bhp,so civic no all wheel drive, and mine is a sleeper, don't want people to be looking at me🙈👍
@@Apocalyptic656 will try and get one of those on the channel soon 👍
Defo
They are not as quick as you think . I owned a 2016 for 4 years made a £1000 of it but own a merc A35 much better car
Jon cena has one
Mine is WAY TO LOUD!
Great car man, i ride the same watgs you R number please, cant read it so good thanks
Thank mate, 6999
How much u make?😅
Undersides on these ROT. They're as bad as old Hondas.
Yeah il make sure I keep an eye on it. Getting it up on the ramps soon as going to change the exhaust 👍
It wont get you anywhere faster .
Honda should have been ashamed after building such a ugly type r.😂
🤣🤣 Marmite 🤣
Nice evo through drivers window whilst reversing for test run.
That will be on the Chanel soon 👍
Welcome 2 the fam boyo see u in mexico 😉😉
