Honda Civic FK8 R Revisited in 2024 Up Genting With 370 HP 520Nm Torque | YS Khong Driving

[@Kratos863]

dude look like he had the biggest shock of his life

[@imrauf2998]

It’s realisation what his machine is capable of doing 😂

[@A2KLAU]

The owner should re evaluate where this car would spend the majority of its time, road or track? Even for a dedicated track only setup 3.5 degree is extreme. 2 degree personally would be my setting for the best balance. This car has the dual axis MacPherson strut design, which is a mix of best of both worlds. It doesn’t need aggressive camber. When going straight the benefits of “double wishbone” is felt because it will keep the wheel geometry closer to zero for maximum tyre contact patch, but when cornering and weight is shifted to the outside strut the geometry changes per the MacPherson design and adds camber upon compression, so in fact during cornering rather than seeing 3.5 degree you may be going to 5 degrees or more. The Honda engineers have spent huge amounts of time developing this very trick system so be very cautious adjusting it this far away from their settings. Even in track conditions you’ll still be leaving performance on the table because of the bad settings. Take Uncle’s advice, it’s worth its weight in gold!!

[@TheSingying]

Torque steer because the Kingpin or steering axis been changed due to too much camber or lowering. Hence the handling characteristics are totally different from what the Honda wants it to be. That’s why we shouldn’t anyhow modify the suspension with extreme alignment settings. It has to pairs with the right mods before lowering the car or setting it with extreme camber on the front. The stock type R shouldn’t have any torque steers.

[@jaslee5960]

thats what we call la la zai mod , camber tune to negative in normal use havin 370on wheel also no use cant use it at all and makes the drivin more not uncomfortable

[@PiguProMax]

Nice driving uncle! Always enjoyable to watch

[@YSKhongDriving]

Thank you! It's a fun car to drive.

[@tupperwarecapayam1071]

Very strong torque steer but he’s still enjoying the car. This range of power already sufficient for fk8. If more sure hard to control.

[@nazaribinismail4548]

LOOKS LIKE A BUMPY RIDE, SEEING BOTH OF YOU BUMPING UP AND DOWN IN YOUR SEATS , BUT AS YOU MENTIONED MORE SUITED FOR THE TRACK 😄

[@harvard_lee]

Love the dashboard and steering wheel 🎊

[@zzputra]

Ini kali nampak uncle terpaksa bekerja keras to tame the beast😅

[@YSKhongDriving]

Ya, kena kerja kuat

[@kurosakiichiniedi]

Seem like maybe good on track but on genting road maybe different setting needed seem like 370hp does not come out powerfully and feel like jumping a lot on this car anyway reset back to normal and adjust back accordingly it should be good this car is good one heheh I like uncle ys adjust steering wheel to his comfortable level so that driving car is a good position which remind a lot of driver also I believe a lot of people didn’t adjust it also hehe 😅good point on this😊 cheers

[@bennevantang4688]

Another thing. The torque steer might cause by the ET of the wheel. The wheel offset is too aggressive.

[@YSKhongDriving]

That is why he had yo use so much camber. Increasing offset would allow lesser camber.

[@A2KLAU]

@@bennevantang4688 this is a very good point, because the scrub radius would also be different because of the change in ET, mixed with the camber the effect is compounded.

[@Kevin-ue3ef]

So many complaints haha. Too much torque for a front wheel drive car. The power delivery doesn't seem smooth or linear enough. Stiff suspension actually slows down the car on street due to reduced contact patch.

[@myozaylin5783]

Hi Uncle Khong, what's your take on this car vs. the FD2R? Does the extra torque and power make it feel way more responsive? Did you find the FD2R lacking in power and speed?

[@YSKhongDriving]

The FD2R will always be a favorite because it is NA and the sound of the engine is something special. Both offer different driving experiences.

[@glacieropgaming1683]

Uncle YS Khong ill recommend bmw e60 M5 to maximise the experience and the glorius v10 engine gonna whack the corner 😂❤ personally love e60 M5

[@YSKhongDriving]

Hahaha, the roadtax here is qiite daunting

[@Zack11Zack11-vf9sw]

🎉🎉 uncle you the best

[@sueqma]

if need the back roll. fully turn off TC. can see TC still kick in. camber front a bit too much in my opinion.

You gave it some Mr Khong the young fella is little to much focus on stance with camber .

Uncle😂same like drive the lorry 🚛

[@YSKhongDriving]

Nice lorry this one!

[@yapisksk4828]

Seems the car is not stable taking corners. Suspension alignment needed.

[@Kyeva4896]

feels like the tyre is not able to handle that 520nm torque

[@YSKhongDriving]

Tyres were ok

[@mikelai7483]

Uncle can fetch me naik genting ? I will pay for ride😊

[@CHINKAIWENKPM-Murid]

owner not even know what torque steering is , with offset 20 whatever alignment or setting or camber also cause torque steering.

@YSKhongDriving i have a question Tito(uncle).... is it true that car manufacturing documentaries are immortalising because they'll just be a memory of the past and Futuristic Car are now Indemand? Specially Chinese Brands

tyres proxes tr1? that might be the issue

Too much negative camber

Nice car but it doesn’t perform well, this type of built only for car auto show . I bet uncle more faster in circuits using stock car. It’s up to owner which mods he choose in the end.

[@YSKhongDriving]

On a circuit this setup would do very well. On Genting it needs to be a little softer.

[@aravindparthiban3157]

Just from watching the video alone, you know the handling is set up all wrong for street.
