My FL5 TYPE R is Here! Honda Civic Finally PERFECTED? | Episode 1

[@TheKingkingg]

Congratulations, I miss your Accord experience and experiments. Life to the fullest brother and remember the sabbath.

[@accoRding2Joel]

I miss it too, brother. I try to every day!

[@isaiahexile]

Never cared or put much thought into cars til I started playing forza lol. Now this is my dream car and got to see this exact color in person at my job one day, these things are fantastic looking. Can't wait to get one!

[@accoRding2Joel]

They're even better in real life man!

[@volpedesign]

Congratulations dude!

[@accoRding2Joel]

Thank you Dave!

[@shep3597]

Nice! Can't wait to see what you do with it. Joel's back in the game baby!

[@accoRding2Joel]

Grazzi!!!

[@shannonschupbach6705]

Joel, I just wanted to say a couple of things, bro. First off, another Colorado Native here. 5280 throwing down man. Second, and more importantly, it's good to see you are BACK and you've got your health. I've been watching your channel ever since I purchase my 2019 Accord Sport 1.5L, deemed PUNISHER. I want to thank you for all the advice and pointers in all of your videos. I may not have a 2.0 but I'd have to say that I try my best with the Aesthetics and performance. I am no great head by any means. Other than having the resonator and the muffler delete done by a shop. I have installed everything on this car via KZbin videos...yes even yours is(was) a 2.0. Didn't mean I didn't learn anything from you. Again thanks for keeping up on it. OH and CONGRATULATIONS on the new purchase. Hopefully, once I enjoy Punisher more and pay him off (4 more years). I'll be sitting in a new 2027 civic Type-R. Message me back or get back to me if you wouldn't mind or want to meet up in person. Again, I live in Centennial so Boulder ain't that bad. I would love to see your new ride in person, and shake your hand. Maybe show mine off a little. Regards, Shannon S.

[@accoRding2Joel]

This is the longest comment ever but I'm glad I read it! Shannon, thank you so much for watching my stuff since back then. Means a lot that you're still here! Follow my Instagram and we can meet!

[@shannonschupbach6705]

@accoRding2Joel Lol, not the first time I've heard that, long ass messages. But it was the introductory one. Had to be. Thanks for the reply. Gorgeous day out, enjoy a cruise in the new whip.

[@putiscruz1997]

Very cool. Hope you enjoy & have a lot of fun times in your new Civic TypeR

Thanks 😊

[@theking54077]

Nice bro can’t wait to see what you do with it !

[@accoRding2Joel]

Same!

[@JimJuno]

Awesome ride man. In Belgium they're not accepting orders yet and there's 1,5 years waiting time they said. They did have one in the back, Championship White just like my EP3 was 20 years ago. Wrote Honda the day before yesterday I'm in. They couldn't give me pricing but I don't care. This is truly the last of the titans. Good luck with it and take care dude!

[@accoRding2Joel]

The last of the titans! Well said, the fact it's harder to get in other countries makes me very grateful to have one. Thank you!

[@JimJuno]

@According To Joel I'm sure you're going to love it. I don't need to drive one to know. Cheers man 🤜🤛

[@accoRding2Joel]

I do already! Cheers 🍻

I got a 6 speed Accord (2019) and I am so tempted to get the type R smh. I’m nervous the dealers are gonna jack the price up

[@savedby_grace6110]

Congratulations! Honda's got your number! 😂

[@MSN-82]

Congrats on the new Type R mate!! Looks outstanding 👌 I started hating my 2.0 😞

[@accoRding2Joel]

Thanks! Why the hate?

[@MSN-82]

@@accoRding2Joel The new Type R just raised the standards. I reckon Honda really nailed it with this generation. Looks better, performance is marginally improved, and can be perfectly daily with no issues 👌 and yeah it comes with a manual transmission, unlike the Accord in our region which comes only Auto.

[@accoRding2Joel]

It is an absolute pleasure driving the car. Bummer about the auto only option!

[@Slimsyxgen]

Glad to see uou happy again bro 👍

Feels good brother!

First video about new Type R that still have plastic cover warped around the front seats. Hot from the oven. Can't get fresher than that.

[@accoRding2Joel]

I begged them to not touch it when it arrived until I got there. I wanted it fresh from Japan!

[@josephtolick8655]

I have a 2022 accord 2.0t and want to upgrade it a lil you think it'll be reliable long term with hondata stage 2 or k tuner pre set tunes. Only upgrades right now are intercooler and piping and hasport motor mounts. Not going to beat on it all the time as it's my daily but I want it a bit faster.

[@accoRding2Joel]

100%

[@DELICIOUSORANGECHICKEN]

Congrats man! Made me cringe watching the tech bring it to redline with probably 10 miles lol

[@jasongt1]

What is the break-in period for this engine like? What did Honda recommend? First few hundred miles not passed 4k rpm?

[@accoRding2Joel]

Honda didn't tell me anything. However, I've always driven all my cars the way I'll truly drive them from day 1. The Type R factory breaks in these cars before they ship out.

[@vteccivic1000]

@@accoRding2Joel Read your manual, just like the fk8s and any new honda they specifically state in the manual "avoid sudden acceleration or full throttle so as not to damage the engine or powertrain" for roughly the first 600 miles/1000kms.

[@accoRding2Joel]

I appreciate the advice. However, this isn't a regular Honda. These engines are built with forged internals.

[@jasongt1]

@@vteccivic1000 yeah. if you want to ensure that you have a well running machine for years to come, it’s probably better to err on the side of caution.

How much did you get it for? I hear dealers are selling these things 20 grand or something crazy over MSRP.

[@accoRding2Joel]

More than I can afford pal 😆 No mark up for me, just forced accessories.

[@miklos1298]

⁠@@accoRding2JoelWhy did the mechanic that brought the car for a spin with you rev it? Aren’t you supposed to avoid going over 4.5K rpm during the first 1000 km for the break in? Does it not matter much or did he just get too excited?

[@accoRding2Joel]

@miklos1298 these engines are broken in at the factory

[@miklos1298]

@@accoRding2Joel I very much doubt that since it’s in the manual as well. I saw it on another yt channel but it’s fine. It’s not like he did it too many times.

[@accoRding2Joel]

@@miklos1298 I've been beating on it since I drove it off the lot. These engines are dyno'd before they leave the plant.
