JP Buys the cheapest Civic Type R in the UK!?

[@Android-vk8yh]

One of the most underrated cars in the world. I have a black one. GT 2007 and it is so much fun. Just with some mods you can make it such a great daily driver and track car. The k20 engine is just brilliant probably the best most reliable four-cylinder ever made.

[@Quattro_Joe]

Thats a great buy 1700 quid is fantastic money. worth the money just for the sound. I used to have an EK9 and DC2 type r. 3rd gear from 3000 to redline is just heaven

[@autosportivobedford]

Totally agree

[@fireball8767]

What's the mileage? But for 17 hundred quid you can't grumble

[@postmandnb]

I had the same engine in an Accord and they are mint. I love an EP3, they are a pleasure.

[@alphatrion100]

1700 doesn't even get you a normal 1.4 8th gen 5 door hatchback, let alone a 3 door type S or Type R here in Holland. Those seem to start at 6000 euros for a type S

[@zanderboy]

love this vid great guys. what a steal, get one Ant. is that the k20 engine in that version of type 4? brilliant engine

[@autosportivobedford]

I just bought another GTA coming soon to our Channel. Then I’ll buy a ep3 😉

[@colinbown5788]

this thing sounds sick… “floor it baby!!!!!” (nice)! 🚗💨💥💥 Jp I don’t think this one’s gonna last long 💥 😆😆🙏🏻

[@AutoWorldTube]

Hello , please i have a Bravo 1.6 16V from 1999, it started to overheat after driving it 10 minutes. What could be the problem ??

[@richardd8352]

Type r side decals and front badge were optional

[@claudioschumi87]

Not a fan of Honda cars but that V-Tech engine does sound awesome! Although JP should of gone for the older Civic much more of looker than this one, but each to their own as they say. Hopefully a bit tlc and a few mods she will be good as new! My guilty pleasure of non Italian cars are the Subaru Impreza from the late 90s early 00s, if I was to buy a non Italian car it would be that. 🙂✌️

[@jps3269]

Was on a tight budget haha.... Spent thousands in bits on the Abarth... I was looking at blob eye scooby's but cant justify 5-7k while building the Abarth.... Impreza's are one of my favourite cars 👌

[@claudioschumi87]

@jps3269 Haha, I hear ya mate, we all want so many cars at once. If only money wasn't a factor! Can't wait to see what you do with Civic over time. Keep up the great content!

[@DeAtHaToMiC88]

The EP3 is a better stock track car... but the FN2 is the wey better daily car and also better than the ep3 on track with a set of springs and a rear anti roll bar.

[@Andyjones07]

Jp check the boot vents each side I had issues with my type r and exhaust fumes being sucked into the car it took me ages to find it hope this helps

[@jps3269]

Ahh I shall do thanks for the info... I need to change the mid pipe as there is a huge hole by silencer under the drivers seat 😅

[@Andyjones07]

@@jps3269 must be a common weak point on them I had same issue when I bought mine so had a custom made system it sounded awesome 👌

[@dtrain1634]

FN2 better than EP3 atm - due to rust… the EP3’s are being eaten by rust :(

[@NeverGiveUpYo]

Haha, great video!

[@autosportivobedford]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@eurotom288]

The I means Intelligent V Tec guys, take care.

[@leonread8651]

Boost it and forge it. Be miles quicker then your abarth and more reliable. The k20 engine is a peach

[@JordzyBrev]

10k + to do this

[@danielhasahondaandtriumph]

Probs get one cheaper now from co part 😂

[@adammorris5628]

Sorry to shatter your dreams guys, but I've had my Fn2 Type R for 5 weks and paid £1500 for it, and it's a GT so has sat nav and the 19 inch wheels...good vid though

[@seshelbow336]

My mates just sold one for a grand.

[@jmad8163]

I cant find one for less than £2500 and that one had major rust issues

[@skendaskenda9156]

Great choice but honestly i prefere 5 cylinders sound , sorry J.P

[@leviddesign4537]

I've just purchased the cheapest Fiesta ST 08 plate with 74k on the clock for less than an amount required. Far less than what you have paid.

[@Quattro_Joe]

Not to knock your ST as they are good fun to drive but for driving enjoyment its not in the same league as any Type R

[@leviddesign4537]

@@Quattro_Joe EP3 I would agree. Fat son off said motor, nope.

[@JordzyBrev]

@@Quattro_Joeeven my 1.6 civic would keep up with st150s

[@Quattro_Joe]

@@JordzyBrev I’d imagine an EK sir would make short work of one. A single cam EG being driven like a mad man could keep up considering it weighs about 4 kilos 🤣🤣
