The Perfectly Modified Type R? HondaPro Jason's Take on The FK8

I caught up with ‪@HondaProJason‬ at Fuel Fest earlier this year to go over his take on the FK8 Typer R. 5 years after the initial release, how does this modern FWD car hold up?

You are an idol of mine. I wish I could travel the world and take pictures of cars. Great video. If you could make a print with the full profile of an FK8 or a new NSX, I would buy that in a heartbeat. I did see you had an older NSX on there

[@JohnTaylor-zu4ki]

Hey Larry, great video as always bro. What's the name of that song playing at the end of your videos??

[@HondaProJason]

This video was so much fun to create with you Larry! It turned out awesome! Thanks for all the love my friend 👊🏼

[@obsidian....]

Your enthusiasm was great. Really happy for you

[@jacobstephens802]

Is the exhaust from awe the touring or the track version?

[@mugensamurai]

Perfect build.

[@chaseteter]

This is a forever car. I never feel like anyone upstages OEMs with their mods. Singer does, there’s a few companies. I can’t think of an individual other than you though. Props!

[@NCLme]

Jason all you need now is to upgrade to a Bigger TurbO

[@donaldmokgale3123]

Holy shit this dude is a SERIOUS enthusiast, attention to detail is absolutely impeccable!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 must be an absolute ball of fun to drive daily sheesh!!!

thank you and Yes it is a Blast to Drive & own!

I'm happy for how happy he was. The man truly enjoys his car, and that's really all that matters

[@hyogomarume8345]

I remember when Jason first painted it phoenix yellow. But man, he took it to the next level after that! 👏

[@Tonyyyy_666]

[@PandaOnSkis]

Its wild how some people care so much about details i couldnt give a poo about. 8 months to paint a brand new car yellow, my gosh, id never. It was probably a 20k "mod" for what really? To each their own, thats why car culture is great

[@jasonterry9343]

Wait. He painted it yellow? This isn't an LE?

[@JacobMueller]

@@jasonterry9343 Nope, the LE wasn't announced and he had one of the first FK8s in the country so years. One might say that Honda made the LE yellow because of his car. :P

This dude is one of the reasons I’m a Honda fan boi, yep. I love the FK8 type R, I had a 2017 2.0 manual and love the chassis. Will get one when this bubble pops and they are cheaper used then new….🤘🔥😎🔥🤘

[@ylee280]

These will never drop in value. Get one now before it gets even more out of reach.

[@angeloah]

@@ylee280 sad but true

[@HondaProJason]

Thank You 😊

[@hushg2000]

Nope … if anything they’re going to get more expensive. Even 100k mile ones

[@automotiveobsession7265]

Great video as always and a great car to feature but also a very passionate owner. Hondapro Jason has been sharing Honda content for many years now and it's great to see he built his car the way he wanted to. I think that Porsche 968 next to the civic definitely deserves a feature. It's a rare car and not often seen modified.

[@ThePerpetualStudent]

The most amazing thing about the factory car is the brakes. Phenomenal brakes.

[@HondaProJason]

they are amazing!

[@chaseteter]

Jason and Larry. Another great YT collab. What a time to be a car head. As we march toward an electrified, autonomous future, content like this feels like a hell of a finale. I miss the good print mags but this content is even better. Also shout out to Curt’s customs in MO. Who would have guessed there was world class jdm body work getting done in the show me state?

[@troybooker2331]

Very tastefully done. That’s exactly how I do my cars. It’s all details. Well done.

[@Tommytwoforty]

Lucky enough to meet Jason at H-day this year, dudes such a great guy, he takes the time to talk to absolutely everyone he possibly can and loves talking Hondas :)

[@Crogando]

This video worth every single like on KZbin. Such a beautiful job done in this car 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@joedim]

Honda should have hired this true enthusiast car guy to help them built an already really good car to a much much better car...

[@BeastFromTheEast79]

Bwahahahahaha 😂😂😂

@@Lofi.z34 💀 💀🙌🏼

[@accord_aero_r]

Honestly, I'm sure there are "true Honda enthusiasts" working at Honda. The problem is that business is business, and at the end of the day they're a large corporation in the business of making money.

[@accord_aero_r]

@@Lofi.z34 I have a feeling that while there's probably some truth to "they put those there to make the car look what they think people think looks cool," half the reason fake vents exist on any car these days is probably just down to how big cars have gotten, and they need to fill that space with _something_ to keep it from being a large, boring slab of empty panel. Look at the bumpers of even a base model 2022 Civic, and compare them to those of an early '90s Civic or Accord. The older cars only had just enough room to fit a minimal radiator opening and some turn signals/fog lights. Today, they've got too much space to work with thanks to safety regs.

[@joedim]

@@accord_aero_r I totally agree with you...

[@johngreat265]

16:45 you should stitch or carbon the plastic edge around the shifter assembly but this is such an awesome build and has to be so much fun to put together. Wonderful job

[@HondaProJason]

Thank You!

[@rhinohippo55]

Another idea is to Install some LED lights under so at night that part of the linkage is more exposed

[@cdoleoj1]

Jason has truly improved what honda has done, without ricing it out. I love it he knows his stuff. It only improves its value. Good job jason.

[@LF-Productions]

Bro when he said he had the spoon sticker my jaw dropped

[@parksed24]

I like that Honda made these crazy looking, plenty of more modest options out there if it’s not your thing. The only thing I wish is that they sounded better. Still really want one though!

[@cosminmihu9963]

Yeah it sounds pretty shitty. But you forget this when you take a corner at 170 kph without any issues :)). Trust me.

[@dknight25]

That's what I love about the Type R the most. It looks so wild and different than anything you'd commonly see on the road. I've had people say it looks exotic. lol

[@streetrage8694]

Love the Type R but not the 65k price of a new boost blue the dealership wanted what a scam

[@toddmccallum3879]

Stunning car..real humble guy..knows his stuff.

Awsome interview i follow jason and i did not know all about the car until this, pretty cool.

[@caribbeangtr8077]

Love what you've done to the car Jason

[@sean2freshmdsn]

I've really grown to like the fk8 and the yellow is soooooooooo good I saw one in person if I ever get one id hunt for the color or wrap it

[@mrcawfee.]

Definitely would have to wrap it lol the only one that comes from the factory in phoenix yellow is a 2021 limited edition which are ridiculously expensive cheapest I’ve seen new is 78k cheapest used I’ve seen was 66k

[@rjung_ch]

Here in Switzerland I paid USD 38'000 for my FK8 (2018). I got the GT version with all the newest things I don't need. I have the dark gray one, not too excited about the 20" wheels, prefer the 18" wheels.

[@scoobiroobiroo]

I slapped a set of 18" Enkeis on mine. Never going back!

[@grillagabe1]

I paid msrp for my 2020 fk8. I had to pre order it and it took about three months to get. The dealer told me if the car was on the lot they mark it up about 10 to 20 grand. My payments are pretty high though.

[@Creativeculture_HQ]

Does anyone know what gear knob that is? Suits the interior so well

[@INSTACOATPR]

If you are a FK8 owner check out the FI exhaust. Best one handsdown

[@jeffl1484]

I live in IL too, I swear I've seen this around, maybe. 630 area ?

[@nYdGeo]

I was told that the under-the-hood coverings being left off was to increase cooling. If it was just cost, that sucks.

[@Iglnuevatransformacionencristo]

What’s the parts list for the mods to make more power?

[@LuciferHybrid]

I was lucky to get my 2020 R with only 10 miles on it for $38,500. It is crazy to see them 10k over now.

This guy thinking Honda "copied" him... Which is hilarious 🤣

R-00891, nice!

[@racenightsolutions5626]

They don’t put fender covers on the type r, so that air can flow through the hood scoop and out the fender vents

[@revmatchproductions]

So what does it make on pump gas? 450 wheel are the E85 numbers no?

[@Earl_VTEC]

Honda love!

[@scoobiroobiroo]

I paid retail for mine! 2019. you have to get lucky and get to the dealer when they have a 1 year old model year and a new model year. In order to sell the new one above MSRP they want to move the old model year. Got mine for 37k, the MSRP in 2019 😁
