[@jayleon89]

[@KarinHonda]

Ikr

[@mistamaog]

Now if only they can make the e brake a physical one

[@luisloera1309]

Finally a Subaru/Evo competition

[@ChrisCoy995]

Ifkr

[@mazpro]

This is going to be a crazy project! can't wait to see the progress 🔥

[@Mustangblack187]

🖤

[@mosesindecks]

Best Idea Ever. I am sure many of us will be looking down at this build years later inshallah thanking you for the documentation that you have done Devin. Receive love from Nairobi, Kenya btw 🙂

[@JonHop1]

Bruh I been calling for this for years! Since I got my fk8! But, I just dont have the time and resources cuz I just had twins and Im stuck in the city.. BUT I am 100% going thru with the k24 swap in my fk8 at the very least with Fuel Tech engine management.

[@ninjaStalker069]

Lmao, I've had to review other people's builds and take notes for my own so you're spot on!

[@JustUrAverageCarGuy]

Habari

[@danmccracken9858]

Yea I’m pumped for this one. Excited to see you push the envelope and your skills and knowledge into the unknown. Looking forward to this exciting content. BTW love the new filming style. I feel like we are right there with you and I think we actually see more of what you see compared to being on the tripod.

[@thomasarnott6436]

I called this out when you showed the crv. Top man devin my guy 👍 love it when you upload

[@BoostedEdd]

hey devin, there’s another way to turn off traction control. That shit will let you burn the tires to the rim and actually keep vsa and traction off. 1. Turn car to on position 2. Parking brake off 3. Press and hold brake pedal 4. Turn traction control on and off 5. Parking brake on 6. Release brake pedal 7. Turn traction control on and off 8. Press and hold brake pedal 9. Turn traction control on and off

[@JonHop1]

Devin if you can, drop the axle specs u will be using. Super hyped to see you venture into a custom Honda build like this.. This could pave the way for some insane Type R builds in the future!... Ive been dreaming about this!

[@jakubM3]

Wish it kept the k20c1 but gonna be a sick build

[@SocalThero]

Very stoked to see this project. Cannot wait to see how this progresses!

[@juanticimo]

[@panchoyyadi]

Incredible content as always!! Keep up the phenomenal work ! can't wait to see the progress

[@arknjo11]

Esse projeto vai ficar insano. Parabéns pela iniciativa e muito obrigado por compartilhar esse conhecimento. Infelizmente no Brasil o FK8 é muito caro (500k), então só sobra para os brasileiros assistir o que vocês fazem pelo mundo. Muito obrigado e boa sorte com o projeto

[@sethpoeski2954]

Calling it - this is going to blow this channel up like crazy. Can’t wait for this build to play out!

[@momlilmonster2491]

Super stoked to see more special type of project! 🦾🔥

[@CarsWithJR]

Excited for the build! You got this!

[@defusionus]

Sorry. I could manage to watch this from the first episode. I wanted to binge watch. Now that I see the final episode is up. I'm starting now. I think this is a "BRILLIANT IDEA". SEMA Worthy!!!!!

[@benashman5171]

Yesssss love it !! Good luck ! Can’t wait to watch

[@tonsixerauto]

Excited for this build! I thought about doing this to ours at one point!

[@jonathanb1987]

This is going to be a very entertaining and inspiring build series. 👍

[@elijahrivera487]

I knew it! When u said u need the cr-v for a big project I knew what was going down. Can’t wait to see it finished! 🔥🔥🔥

[@tareqjawdat6401]

MAAAAAAAN!!!! i was just talking to my friend telling him that I'm thinking about doing the first AWD FK8, was thinking about using the GR corolla AWD system n diff's as its very lovely n sophisticated yet simple n he shocked me tellin me that its done already!! I salute you!! very well done!!

[@kevinadkins8469]

The GOAT at work again. I'm so happy for you. You are back to doing something you love doing. Also it's a different type of car for you to work on. Which means there's a challenge for you. Also you can have your brother help you with creating parts for the car. He is great at that also.

[@NvSrAgE679]

Looking forward to this build!

[@jitin24]

Excited for this project to complete

[@TheEagleman193]

Extremely excited about this build. Coming from a golf r I love everything about the type r just wish it had AWD

[@AaronKnight-gi8di]

Looking forward to it 🔥 can’t wait for the next vid. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@EvolveGarage]

This is about to be wild! can't wait to see this project

[@Matt-yz8hu]

Hell yea brother! Super hyped for this build 🙌

[@SyriousMedia]

I've been waiting for someone to do this. This is gonna be great series to watch!

[@matthewchild7927]

Looking forward to what you come up with.

[@denverj8708]

HELL YEA!!! you gonna get damn good with the fab work

[@MURATAYA2008]

Hell yeah this is what I've been waiting for you to attempt some kind of non oem swap!! stoked!!

[@abdullahsajid5181]

This is the best thing you have done on this channel

[@sundippatel1796]

Excited to follow this build !

[@CPMUNSEY]

Oh man I cannot wait for this build!! A lot of the automotive YT guys over in the UK that I follow have done AWD Honda builds in older Hondas but never a modern one like the FK8. They usually use the AWD systems from the Honda CRV’s or HRV,s in theirs. Can’t wait to see what Devin does!! This is gonna be awesome!!👌🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@MrRedsi]

The Type-R in black is perfect!

[@MichaelHelsel]

Oh boy. Devins bouta BLOW up. Sick build. Probably the perfect modern "Evo." I'd love if Devin were able to preserve all the modem amenities of the Civic.

[@christopherbassit2757]

Gr corolla!

[@GeniusdonHayden]

Definitely intrested in seeing this build 👏🏾✌🏾

[@dustindenemark3326]

Excited to see this build!

[@KeViNMCMXXCIX]

Hype for this project! 🔥 Jared your burnout seemed like you didn't put the ebrake on (proper) since the back wheels were spinning along. It was a nice lil launch burnout though. And with Devin they stayed locked. Keep practicing you've got this!

[@wazza_za7873]

Great idea! Let's see the success!

[@bud9891]

Excited for this build bro !!

[@raphtstt]

What a nice project I'm super curious !! Keep it up !! :)

[@marciobritomarcio694]

Parabéns belo trabalho sou um fã seu ...

[@salrizzo3016]

Love this project, was wondering why no one else I have a did this.

[@nathanrolfe2837]

Just happy your working on something you actually want to do

[@brandonpersaud2548]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 can’t wait. Going to be so dope like all your cars lol

[@huntrusso]

I’ve talked about this so many times with my buddy. This is going to be an epic build!

[@SilverScarletSpider]

this honda civic type r engine sounds amazing!

[@michatech7]

Deff will enjoy this project, the first one true awd 👍💪💪

[@JustAnMMAfan]

I read "AWD Civic Type R" and instantly clicked to watch! This will be the most interesting build yet!

[@slimd3386]

This series is gonna be amazing 👍🏽

[@swaytv.]

I’ve been waiting on somebody to do this build lol🐐💯

[@jakoblong447]

Very Excited, I guessed it based on the Honda in the parking lot that was totaled. assuming you're using that awd setup. Stoked!

[@zainjatt1450]

I was also thinking this

[@Ouiya4200]

Devin this is gold, i like that you are going into the unknown!

[@ruizjuan3384]

This is amazing bro good stuff 🙌

[@kurtedmonds3864]

Devin I'm happy to see you excited again to actually build sumthin and juss be yourself again

[@brooklynnshow2488]

Excited to see this done. It’s been on my mind with my fk8 lol

[@Jaguar821000]

I signed up for sure. Here without question. Well done

[@rightleftmiddle1020]

Hey this is awesome, I've actually been planning a similar build in a 10th gen hatch for a while. I'm really interested to see what trans/rear subframe you end up using, and how hard it is to expand the exhaust tunnel. Good luck, keep us updated

[@seanharrison6162]

I was wondering if you can use one of their random suvs that you can splice together like a an older CR-V that's 4wd

[@Shono731]

I’m so stoked to see this project!! Incredible content as always!! Keep up the phenomenal work and thanks for brightening days with your videos! 🚙 💨 💨💨💨

[@thomasjordan3250]

All your cars sound the same bruv. 😅

[@gundy3730]

So sick. Super excited for you!

[@ACLASSVLOG]

Front runner! 🔥 build!

[@IsaacFonsecaTheEnthusiast]

Haven’t even seen the video yet. But this is what the world needed an AWD Type R!!!!

[@JonHop1]

I really cant believe no one has done this yet.. Its hilarious cuz when I got my Fk8 in 2019, I mentioned it in the Honda forums and got flamed for days about it... Makes no sense.. It seems like a pretty straight forward swap and you can get rid of that crap k20c1 motor(its not crap but it is limited with its direct injection).. I have actually talked with a couple shops about it, and most of them told me other than getting the mounting and axles worked out, the hardest thing would be engine management and wiring. Old K's are incredibly similar in size and position. Making the Fk8 available to the old K series aftermarket is a game changer.

[@pacthug]

Excited to witness first time in history FK8 AWD Civic Type R build!!

[@andrewable2634]

Excited for this!!!

[@davidyang577]

It will be worth it at the end of this project! Will subscribe!

[@no_lft_shft]

we all knew this was coming. Can't wait for this! LETS GO!!😊

[@Izimas]

So hyped for this build fr

[@DeepakDeepak-dn6qb]

Finally something different devin......hats off to take a project like this..man got to do this more often than just engine rebuilds and totaled car rebuilds

[@kelvingebodh6378]

I knew you was going to put 1 of the 2, K20 moter in eather one of the civics so hyped 😊

[@SphinxMTN]

I am just happy that YOU are happy. God bless brother.

[@alizae8084]

Super excited for this one 🔥

[@jlucas9342]

First thing that comes to mind is finding a away to mate a sti trans to the Honda block then using the rest of the drive train . I know it's been done with other Honda motors using a special plate to mate the trans and block.

[@abdelwakilajeddour1935]

devin is slowly turning into a honda boy. I like it .

[@zaccurry2259]

Big turbo focus rs would be sick too. Something different. I love this build though it’s gonna be so sick!

[@Glhaw]

I've been commenting this for years now.. I think he hates fords..

[@joemaggio6806]

To get off stuck wheels up here in the rust belt you take a 2x4 with a towel and hit it with a sledge on the outer rim of the wheel. No wheel damage and pops right off 💪

[@robertgabbard417]

I'm excited about this build.

[@Spoolin_S2k]

This is what is gonna take channel to next level 🎉

[@oFiGuReZo]

Hell yeah man! Excited to see how this turns out! Whats up with that Evo 4 I saw in the background???

[@SilentKiller-fx1qj]

Super stoked for this

[@box4aza]

Nice project!

[@nickdoescher9957]

Don’t they make an awd version of that engine in the crvs? They I just looked it up you should to use the housing for the curb and rear subframes and see if it’ll work with the stock engine.

[@JonHop1]

Yes, he will need either a CRV trans case or the custom billet ones. Most of the AWD kits for Honda's will probably work on the Fk8, axles and hubs will be the only issue. Probably gonna be some cutting tho, but who cares, making an Fk8 AWD with an old K is a game changer fr.

[@DELICIOUSORANGECHICKEN]

So excited. And you make taking apart a type R look way too easy bro! 😂😂😂🎉
