I agree with all the attention I get in mine. For me, mopar’s are trying to race me frequently

[@rickym.5271]

Stones that gets between the front brake rotors and the dust shield is a pain in the ass especially after it rain or your drive where there are lots of pebbles and stones. After you get your wheels all shiny and black, they are dirty in no time. And the rear end and under the doors gets very dirty are driving in the rain. But I still love her lol.

[@TBVnBIX]

I own the '17 Si Coupe and havent had any issues with it. My apple car play has frozen 2 times for the past year(every day use)), but a quick restart fixes it. Never had a stone in the regular (non-brembo) brakes, didnt know that is an issue, i was thinking about getting some and now i''m reconsidering after i heard that noise lol

[@hadynjones5405]

Just to let you know the Vtec work on the exhaust side only and unlike the NA Vtec civics it start low in the revs to kick start the turbo

[@hartmutthomas989]

Angenommen sie fahren im Comfort Modus 100 km/ . Schalten den Sportmodus ein ohne das Gaspedal zu verändern , so fahren sie irgendwann 130km/h . Das ist so . 13:50 die Hupe ist mausetot . Das ist bei meinem Type R nicht so . Die ist falsch angeklemmt . - Dieser Type R ist in seiner Klasse absolut unantastbar . Sensationell im Benzinverbrauch , sensationell günstig bei den Wartungskosten . Sensationell im Handling .

11:30 ~My 2019 fk8 has the lane watch camera. ~Same for my 2017 fk7 sport touring hatchback. Canadian spec, seems to come with lane watch cam

[@eddiemcars]

That's interesting. I wish US-spec cars had something like that.

[@georgediaz8118]

yeah same here black screen 24/7 Anyone know of anyway to fix the entertainment system , like taking it to honda for update or usb hack / tune car ? any info would be helpful

[@kbt33_]

I had the same problem with the infotainment system. After bringing it to the dealership multiple times, they replaced the unit for me and I haven't had any issues with the new one.

[@eddiemcars]

That’s good to know. I miss my FK8! Hopefully the new owner doesn’t get many of the same problems.

[@DBX79]

I think it’s the rarity of the Type R. I recently purchased a GR Corolla, and sometimes I look for Type R’s on the road and barely see them. Your model, or the FL5 are rare to see.

[@TheFK8Life]

Wish you were in California - I'd take you for a ride in my 566whp 2021 Type R Totally old school top end Honda feel

[@oscarv6223]

I heard Cali has the harshest car laws

@@eddiemcars I'm in SoCal - if you ever come out to LA be sure to visit JSR Engines- lots of Type Rs including a 720whp sequential equipped street R Always a few of us hanging out

[@dieselson18]

Are you still selling it? Didn't watch the whole video but gave a thumbs up.

[@eddiemcars]

Yes. I sold it a few weeks ago. I’m behind on my uploads.

[@Hoodean]

super easy mod to swap the horns out for something more substantial, would be a good video too

[@eddiemcars]

I remember the Subaru guys did the Hella Supertones

[@Hoodean]

@@eddiemcars yea or a lot of other Honda horns will swap right in. Grab some from older accords or pilots

[@andreyvillones5318]

2018 accord horns fits perfectly. It’s plug and play it’s like it was meant to have those horns

[@douglasking1866]

Brother i get a rock like once a week 2020 type r. I feel you. It sounds like death

[@eddiemcars]

I know the feeling. It sucks!

[@Jesse.George]

Nah mines red and I get tons of attention as well lol. Gotta love it

[@g0d182]

⚙⚙1:43 Black fk8 owner here, not sure if black gets as much attention as boost blue, but I get the same type of attention, i.e. pictures, conversations, race challenges etc Had people send me a clip doing a tiny launch in traffic, and did not know them personally for eg

[@eddiemcars]

Thanks for that reply! I guess when people know the Type R, they know!

[@n0is385]

@@eddiemcars Indeed Even from adults who ask me what the car is!! Little kids too!

[@JoseGonzalez-ew6zz]

Got to get the piaa horns

[@turnpike_sime9897]

Nah forreal my fav thing bout my fg2 civic is the cupholders. Im thinking bout getting a type r but idk whether to get the new generation or the fk8

[@eddiemcars]

Both the FK8 and FL5 are good. I feel like it will come down to looks!

[@Alex05218]

11:30 GT versions has all that , and more

[@angelgutierrez3943]

The fk8 looks like a supercar because of it’s aggressive design. Very few cars below 100k look more stylish than this.

[@eddiemcars]

The FK8 stands out so much, especially the Boost Blue!

[@oscarguevara8402]

Is yours completely stock?

[@eddiemcars]

Bone stock down to the factory air filter.

[@toofast4radar]

I welcome you to the 21st century where transmissions are no longer necessary.

[@eddiemcars]

😂😂

[@TheFK8Life]

Transmission will also be needed Shifting gears manually is optional

[@theapplepaul]

Unless you want maximum driver engagement and control. Yeah, then you still need a good manual transmission.
