Okay, the guy claims his Type r does not heat up. Well, he was the one driving his car and proved it. Whether he was pushing it or not it is his 1st day on the track. Nobody pushes or drives fast on their 1st day on track. Give the guy a break. Don't hate guy and don't be a pussy about it. You were there once.

[@DC5RParts]

Hey! Someone with a little common sense. I couldn't have said it any better. It's okay though, people think "faster" is better. Those that NEVER touched a track day in their life. Let alone a car of this caliber. My driver instructors always say this "Seat time and improving your skill is more important than going fast around a track" Hmmm... I think I'll listen to the PRO rather than random hating people on KZbin. 💯👌🏼 I am going to have fun and enjoy every moment of it. The rest is just noise. 😎 I appreciate your positive comment! I enjoy talking to people like yourself.

[@kevinplanb1]

DC5R.Parts lmao I have a 2018 type R why would I be hating? It’s common knowledge that these cars continue to overheat especially when modded and making more power. You’re trying to push the 2020’s off as some new generation of type R lmao....they’re the same and you will soon find out for yourself. No reason for you to get all defensive, you also replied to someone saying you took it easy as it was your first day at the track with the car.

[@ToyotaAristo]

That's not the point. The car clearly overheats. Now if you drive slow it is obvious it will not overheat so why make a video about it?

[@FamilyLegoBuilds]

Well of course it won’t overheat when you’re as slow as a parade lap. 2020s still overheat and stock tires are shit plain and simple.

[@DC5RParts]

And you were there to know I was going slow? Your evidence based on a clip through a camera that I showed you. Lol 😂 I enjoy being the slowest. It's seat time and experience that matters 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@FamilyLegoBuilds]

DC5R.Parts the outside of car videos were very slow. And it’s very simple with this car, if it doesn’t overheat on track you’re not pushing it fast enough. Nothing wrong with learning but don’t think the 2020 “fixed” the issue because it didn’t. Also try a better tire re71r, a052, etc and you’ll realize the oem tire blows

[@mrwilliamwkok]

@@DC5RParts Iuno man... what were your times there? Video does look pretty slow.

[@chrischris7598]

Beautiful dc5!!! One of the best good looking cars out there ❤️

[@DC5RParts]

Thank you Chris! Means a lot.

[@Gmedalion]

Unfortunately when run hard the 2020 CTR’s overheat as well. Couples guys with 2020 were at Buttonwillow today and none could get more than 1 hot lap in before it started to overheat. Honda did not fix the issue.

[@DC5RParts]

That's unfortunate. Seems like depending on X-factors are affecting the car during EXTREME conditions. In my track I didn't get the issues. Goes to show you that during certain parameters, it won't heat up.

[@clintpopham5691]

C&R track radiator fixes the issues.. it's ALL over the forums check it out

[@ToyotaAristo]

​@@clintpopham5691don't lie to people. C&R dont fix anything it just barely improve it. Still over heat .

[@Chappers.Gaming]

Looks like a focus RS love the Blue

[@joeyau2428]

first off what was the ambient temperature? secondly the driver was not even pushing the car at all. The video show he was driving like my cool down laps when mine overheated. of course there is no overheating.

[@GT1Zero]

Your homie’s dc5 is super clean

[@DC5RParts]

Yes it is! He's a friend and customer too. He acquired the Type R goodies from me. Minty fresh all the way around.

[@victortalens2993]

Very nice Honda Civic Bro... wow and the color just superb..

[@DC5RParts]

Thank you very much man! I love this color more and more every day!

[@victortalens2993]

Awesome...

[@carbonzoidproductions4266]

yo that look like fun bro, i cant wait to when my friend gets his 2019 civic sport, great video bro

[@DC5RParts]

Thank you very much! It was so much fun!

[@mjd3625]

It will overheat once you learn how to drive faster. You are cruising the track bro. Honda did not fix the issue. Maybe one of my vids can show you how it should be driven.

[@DC5RParts]

What does "faster" mean to you? I am asking since you say you have so much track experience and I need to learn from you. It's cool, I'm sure the car can go faster. No doubt about it but since you got so much track experience you would take into consideration it was the first track event with the car and it would be dumb to drive the car hard on the first day. I tested my current limit with it, which actually was pretty fast, I mean you weren't there you're going by a quick track experience clip.

[@mjd3625]

DC5R.Parts but you are over here making FALSE CLAIMS that Honda fixed the issue? But you are cruising on the track. Come on now. Everyone who has driven the type R on track can tell you are cruising.

[@kevinplanb1]

Miguel John Deocampo facts.

[@TheBulbaCzar]

How you gonna buy a car THAT fast and drive THAT SLOW?!? Bro... @scottykilmer reva higher than you IN HIS NEIGHBORHOOD... yet here you are on a track!!!

[@GridZilla]

You’re not driving the car hard enough period. The fact that you think the factory tires are great on track says everything about how hard you were actually pushing the car.

[@DC5RParts]

Car came with performance tires from factory. What are you even talking about lol They are pretty good and I enjoyed my first track day of the year and track day with this platform. It's hilarious to me that y'all think it's as simple as getting on a car and hitting high speeds through corners lmao clearly you don't have any experience on a track. Seat time and learning the car is what matters. 💯

[@GridZilla]

DC5R.Parts do some research before you open your mouth and make a fool of yourself

[@GridZilla]

DC5R.Parts ..and once you’ve done said research you’ll discover that it was all too easy to overheat the FK8 Type R even on my very first track day on the platform and being 8 seconds off pace which illustrates further just how slow you were driving. Being cautious on a new platform? Smart... Being overly slow and then falsifying information on the internet on KZbin where people come to learn about things? Intolerable, but thanks for playing.

[@DC5RParts]

LMAO fool of myself? Oh please. I really appreciate your negative comments though. Like I said, I didn't experience the issue after 5 hours of track time. Did someone else in the world experience the issue, maybe? But for my parameters, I did not. If you did knew anything about track sessions maybe you would understand that it was the first day and stop the hate right there but you wanna be right, not help. Anyways, I don't have time for you, I gotta focus on my business and my next video. Thank you for the view and the comments, you help my channel grow. 😆

[@nickbuchanan9220]

@@DC5RParts Michael Baxi holds many type r track records/ very very fast times in Cali😂 you’re the fool DC5R

[@spacecyber2317]

The boost blue color is good for Civic. I don't have this color setting in Japan, so I'm jealous.

[@wl1896]

Oh the exhaust sound so gurd lmao 🤣

[@mowithoutyou]

The new intro is a banger!

[@DC5RParts]

Thank you! I like it better too 💯

[@prm5798]

What tire pressure were you running? Also did the sidewalls of the tires get scrubbed? Looks like you had fun.

[@DC5RParts]

I had so much fun! No scrub past the side wall markers. I believe I was running 37? I can’t remember exactly but certainly had to adjust a few times as it was behaving different with every adjustment

[@AirsoftFanatics]

Car overheats for fast drivers only. Sorry!

[@DC5RParts]

Am I supposed to take offense to that or something 😂 thank you for watching 😉

[@AirsoftFanatics]

DC5R.Parts take it how you will. Don’t go on the internet and say the car doesn’t overheat because you can’t drive the car at the limit.

[@DC5RParts]

Actually, I can. It's my channel 😂 I did my test and for my day. I didn't experience it at all. Whether that trigger you that's beyond me. I'll continue doing me homie. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@AirsoftFanatics]

DC5R.Parts yea that’s what we’d call a poser. Continue spreading that false info!

[@DC5RParts]

Remember this, you came to me. Not the other way around. You hate on me, not the other way around. I appreciate the words of encouragement and negativity. I actually feed off people like you. 🙏🏻💪🏻😙

[@limasierratango3834]

If you push the CTR to its capabilities trust me it will over heat, even in cooler weather. Don't be afraid to give it some, in the video it just looked like you did familiarisation laps.

[@DC5RParts]

Haha I wasn't afraid. It was my first track event of the year and track event with this Type R. It's being smart and not reckless. I learned alot about it but even after my "learning" sessions. I personally didn't experience overheat in a moderate hot day (85-90 degrees) I only showed SOME clips and not the whole thing. I did push my Type R for about 5 hours total with multiple hot laps 20 min long, only 15-20 mins of cool down time in between. I simply didn't experience any issues with it. Seems like there's a lot of talk online about the Type R hitting the track and automatically overheats. Well that's not true. There has to be a VERY hot day 95+ and other factors for a car to overheat. This is just evidence that this car isn't overheating just for the heck of it.

[@PeakPerformanceReviews]

Awesome video fella, what tyres do they come with where you are? Still the Conti sport contact 6’s? Glad to hear the overheating issue are sorted then 👌😎

[@DC5RParts]

Thank you mate! Yes those are the tires still being used to this date at least for the US market. Excellent tire!

[@PeakPerformanceReviews]

DC5R.Parts yes that is what we have here in the UK too as standard, I know the LE version used the Michelin Cup 2 which must be epic. How do the Conti’s how up on track? Are they wearing badly or shaping up pretty well? UK still doesn’t have the 2020 facelifted version yet and won’t for around a month because of Covid but I get the 2020 facelifted version as a press car this Friday for a week, can’t wait to try it and review it for my channel. I can be super fussy as I have a race licence and race here in the UK and can find faults with a lot of cars but so far this car has blown me away (2017-2019 models) as I’ve already tested and reviewed them ones.

[@DC5RParts]

I can only imagine with a far superior tire. The factory tires really held well during hard cornering with minor roll over at the front tires. It had to inflate a bit to correct it. I noticed minor noise after the track so they did shape up a bit. Nothing a 1hr drive home didn't fix. Tires are back to normal again. I'm extremely impressed as well! Honestly Honda did a superb job with the updates and added tech. You'll see for yourself soon. I'll be checking out your findings once you post it. I'll like to hear your point of view.

[@PeakPerformanceReviews]

DC5R.Parts thanks fella, it’s sounds like they really have made some amazing changes. The suspension seems so good out of the factory I suspect any roll comes mainly from the tyres, I’d love to see what it would be like with a Cup 2 tyre. Yes I look forward to it, glad you’ll be waiting to look out for my videos thanks fella, yeah take a look at my channel and subscribe if you like it as I think you’ll like what I have coming out ..... who knows maybe I’ll buy one if I like it so much ;-)

[@glennciaga]

where you get your gloves bro?! love the video

[@DC5RParts]

Thank you for watching glad you enjoyed it! Here's the link to the Amazon store I got it from www.amazon.com/dp/B004QMF87I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_6JYrFbB16JCY1

[@mrwilliamwkok]

I think the car really comes alive when you put better tires on it. The stock ones are absolute garbage. Also the car is probably not overheating because it looks like you were just chilling (that's probably cause it's your first track with it). Looks like you had fun though which is all that matters right?

[@DC5RParts]

Not quite, I did drove the car for quite sometime 5hrs, 20 mins sessions, 15 mins cool down. Maybe it was the day that helped it but I didn't experience it. Which is a great thing. You're right on the money, First day, learning the car and having fun with it. That's all that matters ☺️ thanks for watching!

[@pittwm]

The type R overheating depends on the track

[@DC5RParts]

Thank you for your input! That's always good to know. Seems like a lot variables have to come into play for this car to fail.

[@landonb7956]

Where did you buy your helmet? Sick video btw🤙🏼

[@DC5RParts]

I personally got it from Amazon. Any racing helmet rated Snell 2015 will do. No motorcycle helmets.

[@DC5RParts]

Thank you I'm happy you like the video

[@landonb7956]

DC5R.Parts Thanks Bud!

[@noshari]

Went tracking with my back 2020 TCR the past Wednesday, car didn't overheat because I could only do very few laps since the tires are shity af. Stock brakes pads are bad either.

[@Christian080172]

Did you check the Oiltemperature? It's far more relevant then the watertemperature.

[@DC5RParts]

No way of checking that without Hondata or the LogR app which hasn't been released yet. Water Temp is what people complain about overheating so that's why I went by that and also was the only thing available to me.

[@Christian080172]

@@DC5RParts Ah, ok, i thought the oiltemperature is displayed on the build in nav-sat display along with other parameters such as turbo boost etc. Isn't the logR-App available yet? When will it be downloadable?

[@DC5RParts]

No word on release date yet. It was due on late Spring time.

[@kevinplanb1]

Are you on the FK8 Facebook pages and forum??...if so you’d know that there have been multiple 2020 type R’s over heating and going into limp mode at the track. Honda has not resolved the problem. You barely pushed that car too

[@DC5RParts]

No I don't use Facebook forums. That's unfortunate for those owners. Given that I personally didn't have an issue doesn't make my opinion less valuable. Lots of factors go into play when a car fails, Ambient temp, elevation, length of track, mods, driver skill. How do you I didn't push the car hard? Because you didn't see it on video? Lol you weren't there to assume that. I did push my type r pretty good. I had zero issues. That's my conclusion. 🤷🏻‍♂️💯

[@forrestbashaw1455]

DC5R.Parts I feel you. I have a huge favor. Could you research for us if we can change our17-19 front grills with and or without the 2020 grill/whole bumper? I’m getting conflicting answers. One Honda lead tech says we should be able to, but a body shop coordinator was told no it wouldn’t fit. I wrote Honda Customerservice, but they said to check with any dealerships lead tech. So I’m still trying to get a honest answer. I have a claim on my CTR 18’s front bumper plus they other shop needs to do the pff as we found a few tiny tiny chips. I want to change the radiator as well. So I want to kill 2birds with 1stone while the bumper is being replaced/ re-ceramic coated and pff’d. Kind regards Forrest

What warranty!!?? Let the modding BEGIN!!!! Haha!!

Haha It passed the tests! Let the mods begin! Currently installing one as we speak 🏁💪🏻

@@DC5RParts wasting no time I see!!!

[@juansotomayor1479]

Nice runs but you needed to turn off your traction control completely off to run the car like it should, it can go faster without the traction control being on so you know boss, next time try it 😊👍

[@DC5RParts]

Thank you for the tip. It never kicked on so didn't see the need of turning it off from the start. I would have turned it off but it would be foolish of me to do that on my FIRST track day of the year, also FIRST track day with this platform. I wasn't trying to experience the limits, I rather learn the car before I start pushing it like that. I aight trying to wreck the thing lol. Once I have more seat time with this platform, I'll experience it with no trac control. 👍🏻

Boring yet you still watched. No I can't and not that I want to either. I've owned a RWD muscle car. Going in circles burning up tires isn't that fun to be honest. If I wanted to do that I would have kept it or buy another one. Because I can afford it. 🤷🏻‍♂️
