Building a FAKE Type R!?

[@atflores85]

hyundai genesis brembos, nissan rouge rotors and some wheels. Needs some sort of fake exhaust and window tint. No one will ever know until they see the sunroof.

[@DreamAutomotive]

Interesting! 👀

[@ACCORDriver_NL]

CONGRATS on becoming a father !! But also, great to hear that you're now also celebrating somewhat of an anniversary! Keep providing quality, that will be more and more recognized and bought. Not worried about that at all. You've got that covered. Great to see videos again!

[@DreamAutomotive]

Thank you! 🙌We really appreciate the kind words

[@jaypkkim1]

Its okay. You don't have to pretend the roof spoiler wouldn't come off. You can say you just liked it xDD. My FK7 came with that as well. Wasn't too jazzed about it but it started growing on me. Don't see too much of that in my areas. Seeing all those FK8s together makes me wish I sucked it up and forked over for a Type R when I bought my car but I am more than pleased with my FK7.

[@Carbon_craze]

I remember seeing this. Was impressed, but the wheels and Panaramic roof were a giveaway. I was curious to who owned this 😂

[@Aariahjames]

Would love to see this with lowering springs and wider wheels/spacers.

[@DreamAutomotive]

Coming soon!

[@roarlisfang2860]

Hey this randomly popped up in my recommendation but I just want to say I like your seat covers for my Type R! Definitely made my cleaning job much easier.

[@DreamAutomotive]

We're glad you like them! 💪 Thanks for watching

[@rjaybruhh]

*_Damn this is something 😵‍💫_*

[@NZTYNAZ]

awesome video! the car looks great, you’ve earned a sub 🤩

[@DreamAutomotive]

Thank you! 🙌

[@RS250Squid]

I love seeing videos from you guys. I don't get my FK8 until October (assuming I pass my test!) and I'm already making a list of parts I want bolting onto it! 🙂

[@DreamAutomotive]

The FK8 will be a MAD first car! 👏 We're ready to start modifying when you are 😎

[@brian.tm3]

i hope all the holes that got drilled got some sort of coating to prevent rust

[@antonkotsarov8763]

So are the bumper, fenders, side skirts, hood bolt on tke fk7 without any modifications? And did you had to recalibrate the Honda Sensing feature?

[@superflyguy4488]

You need to get all Mat Armstrong on that engine, we need flames on that school run😂

[@DreamAutomotive]

Fastest school run in history?! 😅😳

[@wimctrfk2]

Came back with a banger! What did i miss Dream uploads! Haha

[@DreamAutomotive]

Thank you! 💪 We've got a few more videos in the pipeline 👀

[@zeesu619]

Brother do you know about turkey and thailand so you know they can do it like 2 hours

[@SY-tn2io]

Should have made it a wingless type r

[@wattski]

If you don't want to fit aftermarket wheels then you should run the OEM FK8 wheels with some 5x114.3 to 5x120 adapters.

[@DreamAutomotive]

Aftermarket wheels are on the way! 💪 What wheel would you pick?

[@roxoevil]

Welcome back

[@DreamAutomotive]

Thank you! 🙌

[@A4ANT]

Where’s the national FK2 meet ? 😡😡😤😂

[@DreamAutomotive]

😆

[@jerrytong2209]

enjoyed the video good job on the car

[@DreamAutomotive]

Thank you Jerry! 💪

[@fastlane2914]

Spotted it straight away lol good job though 👍

[@DreamAutomotive]

Good eye! We think a set of wheels and some lowering springs would definitely have helped 😅

[@fastlane2914]

@@DreamAutomotive it was the wheels and the arch gaps that made me notice straight away. Then upon closer inspection the interior was a dead giveaway. To non type r owners you’d get away with it lol

[@hondamanvtec2894]

Take out the 1.5 in with a k20 😁👌

[@DreamAutomotive]

It's tempting, but the comfort, ease and smoothness is why we chose an FK7! It would make for an interesting project though...

[@KM-kl2wu]

Wheel spacer is a must on that one

[@DreamAutomotive]

Wheels are on their way! 🙌

[@QaserdJamoiun]

Combining elegance and luxury kislux

[@cnt.deanleon5894]

where did you get the Type R Spoiler?

[@DreamAutomotive]

It was laying around as a spare from our racecar - we're quite lucky to have many spare panels.

[@typ3_r_fk-894]

Great video 👍🏻

[@DreamAutomotive]

Thank you! 🙌

[@khalis9475]

can u make fake fl5 also?

[@DreamAutomotive]

This would be a lot harder, and more expensive, as the FL5 panels are moulded to be much wider rather than a clip on arch like the FK8.

[@RogerBlair]

What a fantastic job. Well done

[@DreamAutomotive]

Thank you Roger! 💪

[@ankwok-i9q]

We have a LOT in indonesia, pretend to be Type R but automatic trans 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭

[@michaelgrefteter8712]

The car looks amazing great job

[@DreamAutomotive]

It came out better than even we expected!

[@leks7954]

Fake Type R? We have lots of them here in the Philippines. Its just a lazy effort of slapping some Chinese replica Type R bodykits on a Civic sedan body.

[@artisanbusiness1314]

ah! the holes, rust bucket now.

[@openyellowgun]

Nobody noticed the unusual headlight washers on RHD ‘FK8’?👀

[@DreamAutomotive]

Keen eye! In some countries the Type R came with them, but not here in the UK! 😳

[@etcarief]

Fake Type R, you meant usual civics in Malaysia ?

[@DreamAutomotive]

😆 is this a common thing in Malaysia?! 1.5 CVT's with Type R styling? 😳

[@johnmichaelcabral3234]

great now we gonna have losers turning their LX into a type r 😕

[@xanthuschew8715]

Real Type R = FK8 Fake Type R = FK7.99

[@DreamAutomotive]

🤣🤣

[@xanthuschew8715]

@@DreamAutomotive the 0.01 is because of the engine and gearbox 😂

[@TheRealLemongrab]

Slowest type R ever

[@DreamAutomotive]

We have plenty other REALLY fast ones! This one isn't meant to be fast 😁

[@user-qr4hg2dw2b]

that is the base model lol

[@user-qr4hg2dw2b]

this aint no type r replica til you put the fk8 engine in it.

[@DreamAutomotive]

Why would we do that - we want the looks of a Type R with the comfort of a Sport! We have plenty of Type R's to play with here, this one is a family car 😎

[@JoaoSilva-in5bx]

Many fk8😅

[@alphatrion100]

Nice! I own a FN2 type R clone myself

[@prodbymicah]

What in the rice

[@user-sl7iBuilt]

Hopefully Honda redesign the civic type r, the last few have been rotten and get gapped by most cars 😅

[@DreamAutomotive]

Maybe in a straight line, but the Type R is a force to be reckoned with through the corners! 😎👏

[@user-sl7iBuilt]

@@DreamAutomotive never really felt that cause of them being FWD, always prefer RWD/AWD for a track.

[@dieselson18]

Why make a rep Type R?

[@neekras]

I reckon it's cause it's an Auto and a better daily driver than the actual type R (not as stiff).

[@hondamanvtec2894]

Its like saying Why build anything car 😂

[@DreamAutomotive]

Being a Type R specialist we got bored of the FK7's toned down looks but didn't want to compromise comfort as a family car - it's much easier to bolt on the FK8 body parts we had lying around than to try and fit a 1.5T, CVT gearbox, sunroof, etc...

[@Gen10civic]

They used to ask the same question in 2001

[@MultiDaijobu]

It’s nothing like saying that.

[@BodmonRys]

I didn’t know UK had so much ricers 😂

[@ryotakawamoto9108]

R.I.C.E.

[@DreamAutomotive]

😩

[@MultiDaijobu]

Why leave the type R badges? By all means use the kit ,but take the badges off. This is my intro to ur channel and i def have no interest to look further if this is the goofy shit you do

[@DreamAutomotive]

The badges were left on purpose in an attempt to trick more people and have the car go 'under the radar' - we're more than aware the Type R badge has no place on a 1.5T 😆

[@Lol_Boring]

meow

[@chriswhoop]

Bruh

[@DreamAutomotive]

This was the general reaction at the FK8 owners meet too! 😅

[@hapychap30]

Totally pointless, just buy a type r

[@DreamAutomotive]

We have plenty of Type R's in our fleet already - this car now has the looks of a Type R with the comfort of an FK7! 😎 We wanted features such as the leather seats, sun-roof, CVT gearbox and much bigger boot as the car is used as a daily family car.
