FD2 Civic Type R - My First Vtec Yo!

My first ever Civic Type R experience is in what is arguably the last "true" Type R.
Big thank you to Steve, go and follow him on Instagram: @07CTR

Nice car! The one mod that should be done to any VTEC machine is an intake. It really takes the sound and experience to a whole other level.

Steve had put on a Gruppe M intake (think I’ve remembered that right) and hated how it muted the vtec cross over, so put it back to stock. Thanks for watching 😎

[@gdmcgill]

@@DavidBournePhotoandVideo looking at the design of that intake, I can see why it would muffle the sound. Too bad though, because a more open design makes the vtec crossover really pop 🙂

As I watched this vid, I started to think the car looked really familiar. Sure enough, it’s the very same car. Literally picked it up a week ago. 😂 PPF then race track for me… she’ll be thoroughly enjoyed. Great video!

[@DavidBournePhotoandVideo]

Haha small world! Cheeky Steve hadn’t even told me he sold it! Glad you enjoyed the video and awesome to hear she’s going to live the life she deserves! Thanks for watching 😊

[@DavidBournePhotoandVideo]

Thanks so much for watching mate 😎👍

G'Day Mate; How you getting on? All the best Shaun of

[@DavidBournePhotoandVideo]

[@NathanCAY1010]

Yeahhh i'm sure she didnt say that but hey i'mma sub for sure🤘🏾

[@DavidBournePhotoandVideo]

Haha cmon man, you can trust my Japanese skills, right?! Appreciate the sub 😊 thanks for watching!

[@NathanCAY1010]

@@DavidBournePhotoandVideo all good man😂😎

[@golf1diesel]

Maybe CL7 Euro R better overall as a car? I like the DC5 a lot but not so practical

[@DavidBournePhotoandVideo]

Would love to drive a DC5, or even a DC2. After sampling v-tec goodness I’d love to check out more of them. Thanks for watching 😊

[@kotarojujo2737]

its not, way more weight with small torque from k20, so no. Well maybe better in terms of comfort but everything else is better in fd2

[@444aleman]

Is a LHD Conversion possible in this car????

[@DavidBournePhotoandVideo]

I’m actually not sure. This particular one was a JDM only model, so I’d assume no, but where there’s a will there’s a way, right?

[@444aleman]

Of course! Might try to convert it when I can afford it, thanks for replying!@@DavidBournePhotoandVideo

[@DavidBournePhotoandVideo]

@@444aleman no worries at all, mate. If you’re allowed to drive a RHD where you are then you’re probably better off doing that, rather than having to go through the hassle.

[@ThrottleDownunder]

It sounds so beautiful and raw when you get on it Davey

[@DavidBournePhotoandVideo]

It’s a glorious sound hey! Thanks for watching mate 😎👍

[@user-em7pe8jj4u]

Your Japanese is very close, she said that there is no toll card inserted

[@DavidBournePhotoandVideo]

Ahhh! I mean it’s almost the same thing, right? 😆

[@user-em7pe8jj4u]

Close enough😂 I flew to Japan in December and bought a 2008 Fd2, patiently waiting for it to land to Ireland here in a few weeks 🇮🇪🇯🇵

[@DavidBournePhotoandVideo]

@@user-em7pe8jj4u that’s awesome mate! Must have been a surreal experience getting to see it in Japan, knowing you’ll be blasting around home soon enough. Bet it’ll love some Irish B-roads 😎

[@user-em7pe8jj4u]

@@DavidBournePhotoandVideo Absolutely! Has been a dream since I was a kid to go to Japan, buy a car and bring it home! This is more exciting than Santa coming!!

[@DavidBournePhotoandVideo]

@@user-em7pe8jj4u can I channel my worst Irish impression and say it’ll be good craic? 😆
