[@stevochang]

Wow it looks so much better in race trim!!!

[@TheSpazoflondon]

The body work looks tamer and cleaner than the Road car :)

[@DenonGregory]

I agree! I have No issue with the type r's looks but I'd most definitely, definitely prefer the styling and clean look of the tcr.

[@HondaProJason]

My favorite KZbin video series TY for creating this

[@MrJonnergonzalez]

HondaPro Jason I asume you know if this Is a automatic transmission... is it?

[@alfonsotejeda6931]

State of the Art!!! That exhaust and engine sound rocks! 🤘🏻 the best wishes the the world championship Touring this year. The 1st race was not too bad but you can improve a lot mainly at circuits with high top speeds good luck 🍺🍺

[@nexamax]

What a Beauty that TCR... I agree that some of the mods should be made available to the public ;-)

[@mr.pritchard67]

Just would have liked to have seen more of the process it undergoes to become the race car. ☺️

[@jonathanescobar6289]

Thats sick Honda well done🙏 😎❤💪

[@777DxX]

Ahhh I love all those tcr cars nowadays

[@FlyinGato]

so, when can we expect to see that front bumper for sale to the rest of us Type R owners? I'm ready...

[@yooitzmightyy567]

FlyinGato right! I just picked up my ctr last Saturday elias. White like yours bro :)

[@suje809]

yeah that front bumper makes the car look sick

[@DavidSchwind]

I second this... when/where can we get this body?

[@poolplexer]

lol 👍

[@marinersfk7349]

The car has to be the sexiest honda I have Ever seen

[@professorquack]

kinda disappointed on the cut together lap footage. The fuel door was open on some cuts and not on others. Hope it's the same driver

[@becominghumble]

I would love to drive the TCR!

[@roccosiffredi9794]

Type R 💪😍

[@virgilarce]

Go go go HONDA ! Always goooo !

[@ReevesTop]

Very Cool Indeed!

[@Mrbeanstalk4]

Norbert Michelisz seems like a very likeable guy

[@charliedom947]

Which is the wing that got??

[@danielibarra7972]

Anyone know what wheels these are ?

[@ballysohal9770]

Back bumper still nasty

[@vtace1890]

Looks better than the stock ctr. Hm for this car?

[@gerardodiaz7427]

Dam honda fwd is fucking killing it. Ive been a honda fan for quiet a while because of their strong 4 cylinder engine vut this took it to a whole difrent level

[@tylert1762]

What exhaust?

[@lolantolee5254]

i notice that disc brake are insane!

[@allangrant1326]

Fuel flap open @ 3:47 😂

[@Creeperboy099]

Allan Grant your fly is open lol

[@stevethomas760]

At 3:45 , does the open gas cover help with grip?

[@muhdelyas-abgyas562]

LOL

[@suje809]

nahh but when need of refill of E85n and youre racing yes

[@TheFK8Life]

Part of the active aero package

[@leemleem8200]

Nice performance japanese honda civic..❤👍🏆🤗...

[@SuperMoonem]

Where can I but that front bumper??? Is it available in Sonic Grey Pearl ?

[@TheFK8Life]

Its part of a fiberglass widebody set thats around $12,000 or so. I think Dream Automotive got their hands on one or just bought a TCR - a new TCR car is only 90k or so

[@psewgobind]

I suspect it'd be hard pressed to beat the stock on home court (Nurburgring), but it looks more like a Type-R then factory version.

[@dlombana161]

It's likely a fair bit faster than stock...sequential transmission, almost 400 pounds lighter, and more power than stock. Also better tires and what looks like a coilover setup. For a good comparison watch the Pirelli World Challenge series. 2 TCR Civics run there and there is one race-prepped street Type R in a lower Touring Car division. There's a 6-8 second a lap difference.

[@dsfmotorsports1464]

If it's 6-8 seconds faster in a normal-sized American track, i estimate it can be one minute faster than the normal car in the Nordschleife.

[@georgerosebush9754]

What makes you think the stock car would be faster on any track or by literally ANY metric?

[@Mike-dy8sj]

Yes. Of course the slower I've would be faster than the faster one......

[@psewgobind]

Aro in Type-R comes into play at higher speed and flat power in Type-R engine compensates.

[@priztucker]

Anyone know how can I get one of those style wings for my build?

[@TheFK8Life]

The wing is unlocked once your build makes 700+whp dyno verfied. Good luck

[@kaos3383]

Damnit boy.

[@poolplexer]

ll take 2 please!

[@angry.8]

is it still front wheel drive?

[@HondaRacingGLB]

Yes. It has to be to comply with TCR regulations.

[@edwardramos9666]

Here in 2019

[@elviscordero1399]

What transmission are they using? And us there a dct conversation kit???

[@Mike-dy8sj]

This is a race car. No one would swap a heavy complex transmission into a race car. It has a sequencial race transmission.

[@jogonz5833]

No...dct dialogue kit

[@TassieLorenzo]

Sadev sequential with actuator for paddle shift, it's about a $20,000 gearbox. :)

[@michaeldeadwyler4034]

Love the hood!

[@Fitforacting]

I’m sorry but I was expecting to find out about the differences between the stock car this car and I didn’t get anything

[@TassieLorenzo]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGOnhYtspZKSgJY < Part 2

[@jesuschrist1848]

Want!

[@hotdognobun]

Want that hood

[@prozoomy3588]

I love me some type r :3

[@jasondavis9784]

Ummm.... so I thought this vid was gonna cover all the changes ? from the Type R to the TCR ????? What happened with that ????

[@timeluster]

This was part 3 of the transform series. You should watch the others.

[@tarekmoghrabi9465]

how much TCR bhp?

[@HondaRacingGLB]

350bhp - about 30bhp more than the road car. The TCR engine is a stock engine, but the extra power is achieved by some optimisation of the ECU.

[@NordschleifeTypeR]

👍👍👍

[@notasian7620]

3:39-3:41 me after taco Bell

[@mbchannel1037]

Swapped engine?

[@HondaRacingGLB]

No. The engine is a stock Type R unit from the production car, but now capable of 350bhp with some optimisation o the ECU.

[@diacetylmorphin]

I wish the streetcar would sound a bit more like the TCR

[@juandediossalazarcondori9377]

Se ve muy chico prefiero el sedan q es mas grande

[@abunaiN1]

9 dislikes for what ?

[@ashneel]

This is how the type r should have looked minus the spoiler

[@TheFK8Life]

Its a wing - not a spoiler If you want this without a wing you dont need the car as aero matters.

[@johng81818]

Is that TCR still a front wheel drive car or converted to AWD?

[@dlombana161]

Still fwd

[@HondaRacingGLB]

TCR technical regulations only allow FWD as a drive layout.

[@meanman6992]

Why wont Honda build a turbo RWD sports car!????

[@TassieLorenzo]

S660? :D

[@lijianping6622]

Anyone notice that he cant even make the car smooth when he is downshift. It also on rev match mode.....Learn how to drive better pls

[@francismcraymond2646]

Civic tcr is looks better than the type Rice (no hate but it looks rice)

[@minhvisual4265]

Francis Mc Raymond Lmao type Rice

[@Mcfc2Rich]

Francis Mc Raymond you’re profile pic is legendary. Pleasure to meet you sir

[@gaza1knockist568]

[@user-in8ul3lz2z]

かっこいいけどリアがガンダムみたいだな

[@JamieR1988]

You look like Paul Joseph Watson lol

[@cosmicj5284]

Dc5 is better

[@RobbyDee85]

Or Fd2 and fa5

[@Paulzypaul]

the rear of it is ugly as f

[@mr.personality6953]

From ugly, to uglier.

[@KuyaArbee]

HEY HONDA!!! WHY DON'T YOU PUT A DUAL CLUTCH ON THE TYPE R!!!!! IT'S 2019!!!!!!! NOT EVEN FERRARI, MCLAREN, OR LAMBORGHINI make a manual anymore.... just my opinion......

[@yohan1902]

Kuya Arbee Cuz nah.

[@ruskeee]

Cool opinion but you're wrong 😂

[@phoneuser3569]

The car is soo FUGLY it hurts to look at it.

[@NICKYMGTV]

says the guy that probably cant afford it or even a competitor.
