They been doing this for 30 years and still have the best car enthusiast show on the planet 🌏 Love you guys 🤘

[@CharlieLiuPhotography]

Seriously, I grew up with this as a kid and now I finally can afford these cool cars. lol

[@justinchou2033]

They focus on performance rather than interior or other non-enthusiast interests. Not saying those things aren't important but it's secondary to a petrol head.

[@swift9417]

The Hot Version Intro never gets old 🔥

Bobbing my head and singing along every single time

[@apIthletIcc]

I was just about to say, I hope it never changes its just perfect lol

[@IchiBeemo]

I actually listened to the official song and it’s weird not having the sound of revving engines and screeching tires in the background. 😂

[@Rm-rv2jx]

Tsuchiya's driving is so insane. He put a lot of effort and different techniques just to win every race.

[@anhiirr]

its like watching an artist paint the same masterpiece endlessly with different mediums and methods while attempting to create the same end result and its much more entertaining to watch than the "painting"

[@justinchou2033]

He's willing to take the biggest risk out of the other drivers. Plus I think he adapts to these production/tuner vehicles the quickest. The other drivers seem hesitant to push the car past a comfortable limit.

FK8ユーザーです。 率直に嬉しいです🎵やっぱり応援してしまいます。 SEEKERのコンセプトが好きで、SEEKERさんのマフラー貯金中です。 でも、エボリューションさんも好きなチューニングショップです。 どちらも素晴らしいチューナーだと思ってるので今後も注目したいです。 しかしいつ見ても土屋さんや谷口さんのドライビング(今回は無かったけど織戸さんも)は本当にすごい！ 見てる人に興奮させる魅力があります！ 今後も応援してます🎵

[@rayzaking2tv562]

This is why FK 8 is my dream car. It's FWD 4 door with sporty looking and great handling. So you literally can have family and have fun car at the same time.

Yeah and America built the new NSX which is why it’s rubbish.

[@ChristosGR777]

@@madebyp90 No it's not. It was assembled in the UK which doesn't make it a British car.

[@DriverJ-N]

@@lawrenceinsley4114 it isn’t rubbish and neither is the civic

[@anhiirr]

@@lawrenceinsley4114 its not rubbish bc its american its rubbish bc its largely dependent on awd torque vectoring. Something that a MR mcclaren can seemingly replicate in corner with only rear wheel drive. As the level of lines it can take its almost as if it wasnt solely rear driven. Theres a large and fine line to draw from a mcclaren 570 what it took to get it to perform like that and the nsx...plus you have to think about the vapid/affluent/ and typically ignorant ...somehow...."general public" that can afford these kinds of cars....and their actual aptitude for driving

[@addy660]

Just so glad to see the guys at seeker are doing well and still making fast civics!! Still remember the time when I first saw their eg on the touge and that thing was lethal!! Looking forward to seeing them do more touge runs and hopefully become the MAOU!!

[@mingomix1]

great video to start on Friday, excellent seeker's honda, and Mr. Aoki incredible the weight reduction he does in his cars, how incredible the 86 and I'm sure this Supra will achieve the same or more. Hot Version just keeps getting better. Thanks for the English subtitles. Thank you Mr. Taniguchi, Mr. Orido, Mr. Tsuchiya

[@mikemikeyee]

So good to see hot version still doing great work with their new episodes

[@AngelFloyd27]

Amazing work with the Seeker FK8, you can tell that car is well prepared, mild handling, good precision and fast response, excellent car. The Supra's setup was extremely radical for this layout, specially on wet conditions. Bad approach from the tuner, a bit too circuit-spec. Thank you very much for the subtitles Best Motoring. Fantastic job as always, you are the best.

[@Antmattroman]

im very impressed with the seeker civic. i think everyone there thought the battle was going to the supra, even i did. excellent job from both parties.

[@joescivic]

I'd say, if it was the 3.0L inline 6 Supra with the same mods this 2.0L 4 cylinder Supra has, it may take the win. As much as I love my FK8, I'm going to side with what I said. Lol.

seekerはかっこいいね！eg６の時からのファンなんだけど車も良いけどこのエンジニアの人のストイックなクルマへの向き合い方も凄く職人気質を感じて好き！

[@forosta]

Хонда как всегда на высоте, легко разобралась с этой БМВ

[@JustYohannes]

🔥 I could tell the seeker civic type r would win from the beginning, you can tell the Chasis tire selection and over all tunning of the suspension was all n sync. The supra was twitchy and power comes on to sudden for stability out of corners. Snap over steer is what killed it. Maybe a little less power and delay of response. The supra to me has never really been a touge car, even the 2nd gens. Great stuff

[@pokihaya]

I think wet surface hindered the supra quite a bit.

[@hendrahendra]

I agree, that civic looks really well damped from the outside. That supra has too much engine/boost response (the only time that its bad?) under wet conditions. It just breaks the tires loose everytime he touches the throttle, maybe mapping the boost control to be more progressive/linear would be better suited under these conditions.

[@hksp]

he said the setup not for wet condition

[@idokwatcher2062]

He put some hybrid turbo in there and it's laggy as hell with that 379bhp he squeezed out of it. That 2L has no torque before boost, the it all kicks in like a mule.

[@sfisosg7904]

@@pokihaya but at the same time the civic was also at a disadvantage due to wet weather which front wheel drive are known to be worse off

[@YSekiai]

SEEKER FK8の完成度に驚きました！オンボードの映像でもギャップで上下動が無くスムーズなので、速く見えないのに速い！トラクションが抜けないから立ち上がりも速いし、常に接地感もあるから安心だと思う。🏁 SUPRAも良いけど、峠なのにサスをガチガチに固めちゃったのが大失敗でしたね。

それは別の素晴らしいバトルガイの👏でした

[@anhiirr]

ah yes were we the viewer learn yet again there is no best car but simply that theres always a car better suited for the situation...and not a second was wasted. I mean at some point watching these over the years you wind up less interested in the results and more interested on the road conditions/tune and realize the entertainment is how each driver is different and equally applies their own adaptation and adjustments to make better time. I mean thats really the gold in these vids countless gold like a bottomless vault in this channel

[@t.s.kchannel9102]

最近の2リッターターボはポテンシャルが高いですよね。 にしてもミューの低い路面でシビックFK8のスタビリティの高さはとてつもないです‼️ 路面状況の悪いロケでの各ドライバーのテクニックは見てて勉強になります☝️ 真似はできないけど（笑）

Civic guy had the old seeker civic 10 years ago the red one it was fast.

[@ralphire77]

Not surprising to me anyone that follows cars know Civics has always been a beast lol especially on the track

[@typerfk8]

I wish I could have Seeker tune my car! I am curious on what dampers they are running, their alignment settings and it is fascinating that they use a 295 tire in the front. 295 is the biggest tire I have heard anyone run on a Type R and it clearly works! The Seeker looks so much more willing to rotate than my FK8., I have 275 tires all around and slightly modified suspension.

[@sfisosg7904]

I think having 275 and 255 on read will help with rotation or it might be your camber and toe settings so the is not gripping to allow proper rotation

[@donaldlin586]

Like snowy days the RWD becomes disadvantage on wet...

[@user-hn4gw1pe8z]

シビック素晴らしい、見事。ドライバーもそのリアのいつ来るか分からない所を補正して走ってるなと、重たいのに FFだってパッと思い当たる物以上にベースもすごくいい車なんだろなー スープラは今回は煮詰まってなかった部分が残念だけど、伸び代は半端なくある筈と。谷口さんも車とリンクできなかったと言いながらあのペースは凄い

Dori-Dori and his bemoaning of the lack of handbrake in the FK8R always makes me laugh, I hope some day Seeker will make a retrofit manual handbrake just so Dori-Dori can finally be at peace with the car.

Guess collaboration with BMW has quiet fruitful for them.

[@sfisosg7904]

I mean if this was back in the day the supra wouldve most likely lost its got power but weights alot verse the civic and cornering machines

[@racer668]

The front tires fitted on those FK8s are wider than the rears of a C6 Corvette. I guess the front suspension was engineered for it to work.
