THE HONDA CIVIC TYPE R (FK2/FK8) BUYERS GUIDE | DON'T BUY until you watch this! *FWD MONSTER DRIVEN*

[@Theaikro]

Best channel for buying second hand ✋️

[@0T13]

eyeing up this for my next car as soon as my last car loan has cleared. Seems to a fair amount with low mileage around

[@Paul20883]

Excellent video guys! I’ve got a GT CRZ, they’re not a type R, but still great fun!

[@OddBawZ]

Came from the Scottish Car Scene group! Had to come watch this gem!

[@ScottishCarClan]

Thanks for watching!

[@sparky6996]

Tracking your channel for a while. Its become a go too. Fantastic content!

[@Chris12211]

Great video, will be a good help for anyone looking to buy. Best mod you can do is a Remus responder, gives fantastic throttle response without the need for R mode. Other common preventive maintenance items on these are the T valve mod, which removes this valve which can be known to fail, it’s cheap job and can be deleted with oem items from the fk8 which didn’t have this valve. Also standard throttle body intake hose can split with age causing a boost leak, dream sell and uprated one which can be done fairly easily too. Interested to know how you remove water from the spoiler, as this is a known issue.

[@raptorjesus959]

I would assume that you have to remove the whole spoiler xD

[@scottishcarenthusiastsandtrain]

Great little buyers guide again, another car I would love to add to my dream garage.

[@stevenvater2681]

A lot of issues to look out for, unlike Honda of old.

[@boki7557]

i have my fk2 for 6 years 0 problem

[@TheRickyglenn]

Had my FK2 for almost 4 years, the paint (milano red) is my biggest gripe with the car! Just need to look at it and it gains a blemish lol Other than the shite paint and rust it is an absolutely fantastic daily family car!

[@markmanderson]

nice to see a fellow CW 9G R :) i love my 16 plate up north east ;) my daily driver for last 2years. it should ride on rails even full pelt, if they don't, get it Hunter laser aligned is probs my biggest tip on them.

[@steviefn2typer]

Hi grant, just stumbled across your channel and have subscribed, bought the black type r off you in 2020 which is still going strong! About to take it off the road for a long term restoration project! Love the videos keep up the good work Cheers, Stevie

[@ScottishCarClan]

Hi Stevie, cheers for watching and subscribing. Great to hear the type R is still serving you well. Loved that car!

[@Lola-ne9jh]

Hi - seen your video of the type R FK8 and a few other reviews and I’m very interested in buying one and keeping it - would welcome a vid on this specific car in more detail as thinking of getting a 2017 plate in the near future TIA Jay

[@becheriksen]

Epic car, getting mine in 2 weeks

[@joobie1000]

Iv always wanted a fk2 but they' holding their price that much now you could get a focus rs for similar money if you look around !

[@ScottishCarClan]

Mk2 or Mk3 RS are you thinking? Which amazingly are pretty similar priced too now!

[@chrislarkin154]

Great video and information mate. Is the head gasket issue just on this year or complete model? Thanks

[@danhxnter]

No what’s he talking about… they are reliable

[@6th.replicant577]

Great review. Worth noting the FK2/FK8 engine will overheat during hot weather if given full beans on a B-road, and/or during trackdays. The gearbox was carried over to the FK8, so it has the same probs, and Honda UK won't honour warranty, citing 'user error'.

[@raptorjesus959]

Easy fix, just mount a bigger Radiator, and maybe Intercooler as well? Vents for sure help for when the car is stopped but running on summer. Also, there is the option of Oil cooler, but that seems a bit extreme to me unless you modify the hell out of it xD

[@deepsleeprelief4732]

Hey guys I’m from the US and I was lookin into on of these, do you think it’s a good idea to own a car like that in the US?

[@M_arias]

Does the USA have this generation type r ?

[@A4ANT]

Nope

[@markmcintyre8273]

These cars are actually bad for rusting along the seal of the front windscreen, also the arches are bad for road rash. But they are great cars to drive

[@A4ANT]

What should you do to prevent it, wax and sealants etc

[@Coolscanner]

Not FK2s. The issue was with FN2s.

[@fellegjoszef1025]

Hi there from where I can get a rear spoiler? Like this? Thx 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@ScottishCarClan]

That’s the factory spoiler from Honda. What car do you have?

[@fellegjoszef1025]

@@ScottishCarClan I have a Honda civic série 9 / 2012. I'm looking for it everywhere 😔. Thank you 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

[@StrumVogel]

These looks like a Prius with body kits.

[@markmanderson]

drive one and you wont say that. ;) pruis also didn't hold the fastest lap record at the "ring" like this gen and each gen next has for quickest FWD on a lap since, still held by Honda Civic Type-r

[@iDriveNotxDrive]

I really wish I didn’t see this comment🤦🏻‍♂️😂

[@jameswilson8820]

Do these come in a two door model

[@GEFELICITEERD45]

No !
