That's great that you actually covered the whole Type R thing instead of only the Honda Civic, awesome video man thank you! *VTEC kicked in yo!*

[@daxydaxy9736]

@GT Content, Hi for the FD2 Civic Type-R you forgot to mention that the chassis concept was taken from the Canadian only Acura CSX which went through 2 generation iterations from 2006 -2008 and 2009-2011. Honda of Japan stated that they loved the Acura CSX design so much that they used this as the platform for the FD2 Type-R that is still considered the most beautiful Civic ever produced~

[@GTContent]

+Daxy Daxy I was looking for that information as I was aware the CSX was built in Canada (I pondered doing a CSX conversion on a 2006-2012 Honda Civic at one point. lol) and couldn't find it, hence why I left it out. Thanks for the info!

[@yolo-gc4yu]

You missed out jdm honda accord cl1 euro r h22a, which is the jdm version of accord type r. Euro r cl1 has more power than the european accord. I had one smokes dc2 type r and ek type r easy

[@ngokhanh7291]

yo lo lol, smoke an DC2 and an EK9 XD LOL, it can’t stand nowhere near the FD or even an EP Civic lol

[@roblife1192]

As an american it saddened me alot of kids would make fun of VTEC in school but I aspire to get a honda civic type R of some kind just to help my Japan brothers and sisters out. Your videos show allot of dedication to your people and what TRUELY went into each vehicle which was blood, sweat, and tears. #Honda for life.

Great video man. Just one thing though, the FN2 didn't have the K20A, it came with the K20z4 which was very similar to the K20z3 that we got in the USDM Si, except the intake manifold was slightly different.

Another great video Gary! I love old school Hondas. They are some of my favorite cars in the world. I'm so sad that they left the high revving engines to go to small displacement turbo engines.

[@GTContent]

+Tgonzo417 Thanks! Yes, they will be missed, but at least we can still get them in the used market.

[@MeanSpiritedDuck]

The EK series Type R wasn't just Japan only market but more of a Asia only market. Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Indonesia and even Thailand has many EK CTR on the road and even my mum had one and I'm a Singaporean. Same goes to the FD2 CTR. The FD2 was also sold not only in Japan but mostly in Asian market side by side the FN2. This also saw salesof both models in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Hong Kong but for the FN2, Asia market hated it more than the FD2 which in many Honda fans, FD2 is considered the best CTR of all beside the new one.

[@GTContent]

Good to know. Thanks.

[@TonyEG6]

Hey man just pointing it out but you missed a few type r models. You missed the 4 door sedan integra type r that was sold with the dc2. You also missed the accord euro type r that had the k20. Nice video other than that:)

[@riothero313]

I was never a honda or even really import guy but, I did like the prelude. I know that thing was bigger but, it never got any love.

[@grandmaster-grouch]

Forgot to mention Honda used to be just a corner grocery store until a hurricane devastated Japans industrial sector. Honda manufactured the legendary D type motorcycle. D stands for dream type, honda's way of helping japan rebuild its manf. industrial strength while helping the Japanese people travel after the prev mentioned hurricane. The D type paved the way for hondas motorcycle heritage. The Honda Type R brand came off the then CBRR liter race motorcycle which fathered the vtec engine management system. Cheers

[@GTContent]

+Epic-Elite Dynamics Good to know.

[@michaelbullington3182]

Informative video. Torsion beam was used to save weight; it's not all that bad on cars with FWD. The best thing about 1990's Honda was even on a base civic, you could get A-arm suspension at all 4 corners; the best for cornering and for suspension lowering.

[@GTContent]

+Michael Bullington True. Torsion beam is lighter since it's less complicated, but the real reason is also cost $$$. We get them when accounting gets involved. A performance car should have independent suspension at all corners. Not that it's necessary, but it should be the standard. Like you mentioned, the 90's were the best since it was standard.

I could only imagine what Honda could do with the J35 in a Honda Accord Type-R Coupe. At a minimum, 3.5 Liter SOHC V6 with a 8100 RPM redline, pushing 430 horsepower, with a compression ratio of 12.5:1. I would take it with a 7-speed manual (with the last gear as an overdrive for MPG) or a dual clutch automatic. Honda needs to produce something to show the world they're the power house in engineering. Lately, with what is going on with formula-1, they need to show the world again they can make what other manufacturers can't do: reliable, low maintenance high performance engines.

Having owned a DC2 ITR and now an FK8 CTR, the CTR is just better all around vehicle. The ITR was fun and very lightweight but it suffered lift-throttle oversteer too easily and was very slow until VTEC kicked in. It also droned at highway speeds as the gearing was super short and could have used a 6th gear for a true overdrive.

John Connor Ok do you realise that if Japan would of kept fighting. The United States would of Lost over 500000 soldiers? and We would of been thrown into a great depression if the emperor did not surrend? Did you know that Japan is the only country that legitamately attacked contental United States by destroying oil refiniries in Los Angeles? It would of costed more money and more casualties to the US to take over Japan than Germany in a unconventional Surrender? Dont believe me Look it up. Majority of our computer Systems are Japanese since the Persian Gulf War of 1991. Yeah they were enemies back in the day but there one of our top allies for Economy and our pop culture. From the Honda Dirt bikes in Moto Cross to the kick ass high powered Lawn Mower you use to Mow down 12 inch blades of grass. To the cartoons your kids watch. I would show some respect because shit in ww2 could of killed our countries status if the emperor was like hitler.
