1 lap at Donington - Honda Civic FN2 type R vs Evo X

[@havoc6_1_6]

I've owed both a civic type r fn2 GT and an Evo 8, both incredible cars, the evo cost soooo much to run though. Still got the FN2, love it!!!

[@yardspeed13]

Ah nice, I had the chance to buy an Evo 6 a while back and passed on it. I kinda regret that. But I still enjoy the civic for sure 👌🏼

[@dtrain1634]

Fully agree 👍 although we only had the fn2

[@gavinsmith9022]

I also have the worst type R as well, had it six months now and i love it, gonna keep it standard cos it's a daily driver, great to see what it can really do out on track.

[@yardspeed13]

@@gavinsmith9022 Enjoy it mate 😁 mine started as a daily too, just saying 👀 They’re great cars, for sure… ignore the haters, they don’t know what they’re missing 🤪😂 Thanks for watching and leaving a comment, I appreciate that 😃

Air filter really improves the pull and keeps it quite standard :) we had an fn2. Oh and seal around the boot top seam joins- keeps water out :)

[@mikar636]

This is so true! I track my car often, and I absolutely love it! With a few mods, it's hard to find another car with so many great features. Mine’s also a beast on the straights (FN2 K24-320hp), not just in the corners-I’m faster everywhere! Honda: Making every road your racetrack!

[@squareblueorange]

Love your fn2 😎👍. I'm old enough to remember when top gear was really the only car programme on TV and there wasn't much car stuff on youtube. Jeremy Clarksons opinion carried a lot of weight in those days and I remember him being pretty harsh on the fn2 review. Him saying that might have been were all the 'worst civic type r' came from. I really liked them then and still do. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@yardspeed13]

@@squareblueorange Cheers mate, I appreciate that, she’s not perfect by any stretch but fun for sure. I’m the ‘wrong’ side of 40 and remember those episodes too.

You definitely looked the more experienced driver bud, the evo was losing a lot of ground in the corners, no idea how they handle, never driven one personally. Great battle though 👍

It’s NOT a bad type R.. my wife used to have one. It’s not that bad tbh 😮 she traded it in for a Octavia VRS 245 which is a better daily but not as keen

[@yardspeed13]

@@ModFix Yeah, I understand that mate. It is a bit of a mission to say the least. Before you factor in anything that goes wrong. I may be wrong, but I think you can't take 'track cars' on TF. Obviously you can on track days, i.e I think it has to be road legal to go on TF. Plenty of great tracks in the UK anyway.

[@Nitrolore41]

@@Nitrolore41 honestly I have no idea on the Evo. Very nice car I’ve always wanted one. As for my FN2. It’s 220bhp approx Coilovers, LSD, AO52’s tyres, decat/70mm exhaust. HSK inlet. So not much more power but more agile/light

Sadly judging by the speeds at various sections of the track, neither car was being pushed. 81 on craner… both are capable of over 100 there with ease. The evo driver was out of his depth, needed a more confident driver to call this a vs.

[@yardspeed13]

@@FamilyGamers-ml2jm interesting analysis… I’m regularly doing between 100-110 through Craners. I’m being held up by the Evo. Thanks for watching maybe you could offer some tips on how to push the car more. I always enjoy expert opinion 😉

[@FamilyGamers-ml2jm]

@@yardspeed13 clearly you’ve taken the comment as criticism. It’s not, it’s simply showing the evo isn’t driving anywhere near as fast as it should be, so it isn’t a vs it’s a case of he just didn’t move over as you had much more pace. Says a lot about someone to reply like that. I’m out .
