Honda FD2R - On Slightly Wet Road, Slight Drizzle, & Semi-slicks up Genting / YS Khong Driving

The appointment was already made. When I woke up at 5.00 am, it was storming outside, but nevertheless, Samuel turned up in his Honda Civic FD2R at 7.00 am. We decided to take a chance, that maybe it wouldn't be raining over at Gombak and Genting Sempah, so with hopeful intentions, we drove through a light drizzle and set up our cameras at our regular stopover location.
We were ready to start, but there was still a drizzle, and on Semi-slicks, it wasn't that good an idea to go. Still, it was an opportunity not to be wasted, and rather than re-schedule, we decided to go the additional 17 kilometres in hopes that it would dry out.
It did, as we left the push-off point, but as we neared the actual climb, there was just a hint of a drizzle - the road looked like it was okay, and so we decided to try it anyway.
Little droplets came at us as we were halfway up, and so we went a little cautiously. The 2-Way LSD was quite a handful but other than that, we managed.
Please enjoy the video - it was my first time driving this car - the last I drove a FD2R was about 10 years ago, and that one was stock - so if you see some tentative footwork, it was just me being careful.

When uncle goes silent, you know things are really on extreme level. Amazing skills uncle!

[@snayar3231]

How abt, when uncle gets SILENT, things get VIOLENT

[@lorenzoo213]

Dance in the rain

[@benkoh7141]

i like how immediately after the first guard house he turns off the camera showing the speed XD

[@haikalfauzee3385]

Finally ! after a long waiting , uncle’s driving a FD2R ❤️

[@ahmadpintu3768]

Been watching all of uncle videos but this one literally gave me goosebumps.

[@jundaaaaaaaaaa]

Yeah man I watch also my balls shrink imagine the owner of the car

[@nickloong]

Wow, of all the videos of your Genting drive uphill, i must say this is one of the more exciting ones. Literally man and car becomes 1, and that fantastic howling Vtec engine. This is one great drive sir! 👍

[@YSKhongDriving]

Thanks Nick for your great support.

[@AdamBakar84]

i hope u upgrade ur type R n let uncle test it ones again... ur car still the fastest on the genting climb to me.. 💪🏼

[@fkmyoutube]

Am I the only one focusing on his pedals rather than the road.

[@chongqingwen6570]

U r not the only 1

[@kevinloh357]

His footwork was seriously impressive stuff

[@likie29]

Many skilled.

[@HeyUncleA]

One day you can do both✌🏽

[@asyrafmy09]

Same goes to me. Love to watch how he control the pedals

[@jaykhaw5025]

The vtec engagement sound is so nice and addictive. There's nth like a high reving 4-cyl like Honda

[@horntailsix6099]

True Power of Honda , Sound Awesome , Handling Awesome , 3 pedals by Awesome Driver.

[@benjaminwwj]

3:21 you know shit is about to get real when the a/c is turned off.

[@YSKhongDriving]

Hahaha, actually it was to prevent damage to the compressor.

[@johnmd6332]

I just find my self re visiting this video from time to time

[@YSKhongDriving]

Me too. I have watched it at least 8 times.

[@jamsbong]

That VTEC noise is the signature of Honda Type-R engine. Best Motoring Hot Version used that sound clip as part of their introduction theme.

[@Flowermouth]

Wrong

[@brendanjames7707]

Beautiful piece of heel & toe work and making use of every piece of available tarmac. Scary though, running on semi slicks on the wet. Tq uncle Khong 👍

[@kevinkwa]

Nice drive, Uncle YS~👍🏻 and kudos to Samuel for lending your FD2R... been wanting to see Uncle tackle the hill in one.

[@YSKhongDriving]

Yes, I am thankful to him too. Glad you enjoyed the video. Please share.

[@207history2011]

omg......u are doing justice to this car....it finally feel free.

[@THOMASYONG1]

WoW i so miss that VTEC NA sound. Wif a RALLY KING driving it, makes it so great !! Love this car so much…GOOD JOB Uncle YS, great skill.

[@YSKhongDriving]

Thank you for supporting

[@bkwong2535]

Almost all "slightly" except for his legendary driving skills. 😍😍😍 It took me a hell of a long time to learn the heel kick technique but this retiree uncle is doing it so smoothly like second nature. 🤯🤯🤯

[@iamgurpal]

Flawless heel and toe + glorious pedal to the metal action!

[@leongyet9896]

Seeing uncle khong driving manual with high toes is climax! More interesting than those "fake" manual cars nowadays. Old skool manual is the best. Showing the true skills of a driver Got part 2? Downhill

[@YSKhongDriving]

Didnt want to make the video too long. But yes, we have the footage.

[@shauntan2266]

Please make part 2. Hehe

[@harvard_lee]

Love the exhaust sound including the foot work video. Great stuff overall.

[@kiasu44]

Heel and toe technique is marvellously done by uncle.. Amazing

[@nobody.no-one]

Loving the Vtec when its kickin in Yoooooo! Enjoying the sound, the magnificqo of uncle driving skills 💖

[@kallolo90]

[@ngkwdaniel]

[@yewbtang1848]

I am late to comment but better late than never! Hope this video will attract viewers to appreciate the fun that only a manual car can deliver! Exciting drive, as always, Uncle! 👍👍👍

[@darren4158]

This is wat I call a proper drivers car and probably the most exciting video from uncle, beats those cars with auto gearboxes, paddleshifters with happy dyno numbers and seems boring to drive

[@chongqingwen6570]

Honda for life

[@RonnyandCars]

That’s a proper car!! Thx Mr YS Khong for making this video with the foot cam as well!! That VTEC screams.. Haha great stuff and great car too!

[@dg5959654]

OMG... Oh no... Dear all, any racing movie scene taken at genting highland uphill road ? This footage is far better than any racing scene in movies I have ever seen. What if it end with a drift at the round about... wah... I can not imagine oh. 😅

[@chongqingwen6570]

U mean outside footage? That would need a gallery of fans along the road side.

[@pantsdownify]

already thinking of buy one. after watching how YS take it through the mountain, haha guess u know the outcome....awesome work YS. 👍

[@irfanj]

That footwork tho wow

[@11chenlim]

The hills are alive, with the sound of VTECH🎶🎶

[@YSKhongDriving]

Hahaha, yes!

[@johnnycage558]

That's a beast. Can't wait to see uncle try all the otai legends of yester years like Evo, 4age, WRX, RB series and etc

[@imataquito005]

Wow... Nice drive uncle YS.. The sound is pure bliss... The speed on video is how I remember it to seem like when I drove up Getting...😬😬 And the footwork of being off throttle and brake but...rapidly choosing either to brake or accelerate 😅😅 and they part where you get on the throttle then had to brake even tho it's fairly straight but it was just too fast/ feeling scary... Aahhh... loved it... Like reliving a memory... 🤩🥰🥰😍😍

[@piee93able]

[@ridvirgo1994]

When the Vtec kicks in. it's orgasm for ear and wow, your footwork is impressive as ever. If possible I would like to see uncle doing special episode with Karamjit Singh 2 legend in one show should be epic. Happy holiday Uncle.

[@loongz6415]

The induction noises as uncle heel toe downshift is just heaven ☺☺

[@keathowteoh13]

Hi uncle, you can try opening the rear window a bit next time. This will reduce the unnecessary wind sound and you dont feel pressure on your ear. = ) Great driving BTW !
