My First Bad Crash in the FK8 Type R...

[@formosag105]

It was a long and hard weekend of a lot of issues for everyone. You did your best with every issue that was thrown at you. I couldn't get the last session in so I was bummed I couldn't try and push my time further. There's always next year and I hope next time the weekend goes better for everyone.

[@jacobrev6567]

Yay another episode of Dustin His Honda Civic Type R

[@dnielrzl]

I love how tim is always there for you without even sigh if anything bad happen especially when it needs to be done asap.

[@BanzaiXNinja]

Keep your head up my guy. Know this, you’re honing your craft you’ve got a LOT of people that are supporting you. NEVER say you feel like an idiot, because you’re not, your context alone speaks for itself. You’re ok, no injuries. You’re learning , not losing. It could have been worse. Continue your craft.

[@kevinplanb1]

Cannot express how much I love these videos, thanks for another banger D! I’m sure you’ll get the FK8 back up and stronger 🙏🏽

[@riddlemethis01]

Hey Dut, honestly I'm going to tell you that you are way too hard on yourself when things aren't going how you think they should. The things that happen, unfortunately are just par for the course when you're racing. Cars break, track conditions change, other drivers have their issues and the only thing that you can count on is that things happen. Solely speaking for myself but I don't expect you to be perfect all the time. Keep up the hard work because it is paying off and it shows.

[@dustiinw]

thanks man

[@mattdietlin9609]

I wrecked my Fit at Watkins Glen earlier this year in my first Gridlife event. Definitely a humbling and gut-wrenching feeling. The best athletes have the shortest memories. Fix what needs to be mended and get back out there, man!

[@DahakaCL]

The reason i kept my suscription to your channel is because the track content dude. Even when you're doing incredible well and you could easily turn your content to super cars or builds for the street, you took the expensive and best path, because track is the reason we live!. Keep pushing dude, regards from Chile!.

[@RyanDenton]

Like I said in the moment, learning situation, you adapted and Tim got the FK back and ready! Best team ever

[@AB-bu9go]

Not a racer myself, but I do own a 2018 type R I plan to track eventually; but I gotta say, from an enthusiasts perspective, this is race life. Now If your concerned about social media presence and reputation, well, it’s par for the course with regards to that category too. Lesson learned. Rewatch footage. Rebuild. Rerace. Your alive and living

[@xavierlee6630]

That’s me!!!!! I was fangirling pretty hard

[@Vortizzzz]

Was cool to be able to say what’s up and see you on the track! Definitely give you props for being out there, I could see the stress in all the drivers faces. But you pulled through and still had fun

[@Zchannel-777]

The splitter bracket and the way Tim mounted it so good is a big part of the saving grace!! 🙌🙌 you guys killed it out there! go team!!

[@dorifto]

Looks like that Chassis Mount Splitter bracket from Battle Aero, Nice!

[@christopherharris6005]

Awesome video as always Dustin. Grid Life is so awesome one day at hope to go to Grid Life and see you ripping up the track and taking first place. Your merch is so awesome.

[@ryanwint437]

Man, shit happens in racing and in life. It can get frustrating and throw you off your game a bit or dip your confidence but you gotta do whatever you can to pick yourself up and get back to it and work like hell to be even better than you were before. You did it once with your youtube journey and you're doing it all over again in your racing career. It will all work out and these experiences are just stepping stones to that end result. Always forward, never stop.

[@destroyrebuild]

Don't worry. If you aren't pushing yourself, you won't improve your driving. It's just part of the game. I love the passion and effort you put into it.

[@codynaugle8524]

I raced atv motocross for almost 10 years kinda different but same concept. I've had wrecks and a good bit of them was cause I pushed just a little to hard. Sometimes you push to much and something happens. Then after that you know your limits and where not to push. You are a awesome driver Dustin!

[@kevinlotito145]

I come for the cars, the full transparency and the raw emotion and I will forever stay because of your vulnerability Dut, these videos are my fave.

[@M3fahrer]

I love how polished the edits are that Rome does for these. I’d be super interested in seeing these events become full Rome productions with a more formal style. The Vlog style feels like it clashes. Maybe more of an interview or Voiceover style? NGL it might just be I want more Rome edits in my life lol.

[@thefastkid]

What an amazing video dut you captured all the emotions and I felt all of them man.

[@jdmkidk24]

Even the best of drivers crash, you’re growing as a driver and you’re still becoming one with the type r. Going to be a blast watching this season and many more with this type r

[@TeamCupNoodles-nn9og]

Rivalry! Let's go!

[@achanctf]

Good job man ! So proud of the whole team keeping going cheers🎉

[@peterga3658]

well its racing . racing and crashes go together 100% you CAN NOT do one with out the other . be thankfull you got out safe, you can keep doing what you love, imagine how much worse it would have been . everything is good dont worry you wont even remember it in few days ggs

[@dieselracecomp]

Dustin you are best , lets push and push . Dont go down!!!!

[@tastysti]

I can feel your pain sir. sometimes pain is strong when you have such a passion.. and that's okay. good thing is the car is fixable and everyone made it out okay. practice makes perfect. next one will be epic

[@JewshEdmondson]

Racing for the fastest time possible by definition implies you are pushing the car and yourself to the limit crashing is part of finding that limit it never feels good but if you don't let the fear of it overcome you it always helps you to improve long term I think this will ultimately make u a much better racer.

[@hazzyperez6640]

even tho you had a bad crash with the fk8 im sure that got you in a hell of a funk, you didnt let it defeat you.... and that is a win in my book... you got back up and did your thing.... #respect

[@alanhall5648]

Dustin you know what they say if you fall off the horse you just have to get straight back on it. This will only make you a better driver learn from the mistakes and onward and upward.🔥🔥🇬🇧

[@davedatdude9799]

Great video Dut,you guys are definitely an amazing team,you did your best bro

[@bapynshngainl.nongpiur3769]

You did your very best Dut and the team too just keep pushing💪

[@snewstead1388]

For over heating, you need to switch to distilled water and water wetter. I’ve heard mishimoto makes a super coolant that’s supposed to be good but I haven’t used it. Water and water wetter runs crazy cooler than coolant. Good work my man. Experiences like this make us better whether good or bad.

[@socalleo]

Its part of the craft, keep pushin bro!!

[@Kogeki595]

Proud of you and your team dut! 🫡🔥

[@n2hasan]

Dope! GingerMan used to be my hometrack back in the early 2000s. My old Civic was off track there a time or two. Damn I miss those Honda days!

[@Augvfaecnae]

No pain no gain!💪

[@CarlosMartinezXXVXXIX]

Keep your head up Dustin!

[@EscapingReality-4u]

Life is about up’s and down’s, and is great that you focus on the up’s and never let the down’s beat you. Tim bro saved the day again lol He is the man. 🤞👺🤞

[@levi99]

The video shots now look like movie quality….great work

[@whtdrgn33]

Dude...I know that sucks but this video quality and editing is on another level!!!

[@Aerospacegod]

Everyday i watch your content makes me more excited to work hard being a pilot so i can go racing as much as i physically can

[@EddardTrue916]

Bright side of the crash, you were able to still compete! My crash left me completely disabled for the whole weekend last year... Oh well, that's racing lol.

[@johnrowell942]

Glad you and the Honda are ok. You could fit a sumb gard or something like the spilter brace. Roll on to the next races. Love the track stickers of the track you race on. As I live in the UK.

[@Robert-nn5nm]

What a brilliant team you've got Dut!! Those guys are so amazing. To bad about the crash but that's reaching 😉 if you want a top tip. Meditatie go and practice mediation that stuff really really works like a charm trust me 👍👍 your will love it once you've got the hang of it. great video Dustin

[@ctrsmithy]

Lucky you put that splitter on, looks like the bracket took the brunt of the impact. That's racing man, amazing you've been doing it this long and this is your first bit of real damage.

[@michaelroyal9375]

That ending is hilarious! 🤣

[@David.skrrrt]

AWESOME CONTENT!! 🔥

[@autopassion27]

It's a part of racing... even with this accident, thanks to the help of the team you could drive again, and it's cool! Good luck for the recovery 😉

[@SleepingForest-ct]

Hey man, that happens to everyone in racing. If you wanted the splitter to be more cost effective just trace out the splitter shape you want and use a plastic/fiberglass one. Keep the look and not be near as pricey, for if and when it starts to wear or break. Not 100% sure, but I believe a lot of people do that

[@BushidoPhoto]

Dude, even Tsuchiya crashes sometimes. Orido too. I know it sucks, but at least the car isn’t totaled.

[@Shankmeyster]

J's racing front grille should help some, plus the vented side bumper covers to replace the fake vents.

[@A10FT200LBPUMA]

The meatriding is insane

[@KevinVo]

You aren't trying hard enough if you don't go off! Great to see you at Midwest Fest!

[@JDub3799]

love the attack videos more than anything

[@WrxJapanguy]

Shoutout Tim bro for driving the rig cross country

[@menardquinto9516]

NOTIF GANG! All love from the Philippines Kuya Dut! Lets bounce back!!!

[@dimitriliving]

Love your mindset and builds which is why I've been following you for a long time, but as you kind of mentioned you need to practice a bit more and slow it down with your track builds. Building to build only creates more issues. Start with something simple and reliable and evolve it into something that fits your driving experience. I was hoping you would build the EG civic as a track horse and gain a ton of experience from it. Would be a great journey ❤

[@wldwst22]

Timmay to the rescue!

[@Tactical_GRIP]

Cuality video is 10/10 bro

[@FutureBoostedMedia]

I met Kelsi at my local tracks she’s awesome. Next time I see her she owes me a ride along haha

[@BjornPNW]

Sorry to hear about the rough weekend man 😢 Would love to see you get back into this same class with something RWD and 6+ cylinders. I know you love the CTR’s, but the FWD platform is just inherently less capable. It would be awesome to see you build a Cayman or Supra! Hell, it might even be cool to convert the 400Z into a full race car 🔥🔥🔥 (you already own it after all…)

[@MsChristianskogland]

Only a car, it can be replaced 👍 as long you are OK

[@Crayoniel]

Lovin the long hair dude😏

[@One21P]

Dustin has to setup an autocross test track before competitions.

[@Sunburnae92]

That last clip thou 😂

[@zakschmidt684]

Pretty sure I spotted the Supra at 17:00 in Pittsburgh on Sunday night… I was shocked when I saw it in the video 😮

[@darrellknight4110]

Like they say keep your chin up and keep going

[@lewischafer3333]

Awesome Content ever

[@808touge]

I would love to “crash” a car to have the team, the support, the love that you have. I think the take away from this event should be look at the team you have. You can’t put a price tag on that love. In comparison the cost of a lip is trivial. Stay positive 🤙🏽

[@Sinfulskyline]

Having a group of guys around you like them, it's impossible to stay upset for long.

[@Jonlai8009]

Did i just see the legendary wrx in da background??? 17:00

[@edwin_terrones]

Is it possible to practice this track or others from grid life in a simple simulator like ACC just for map and car knowledge

[@burg5556]

Whats with the over heating i thought there was a massive intercooler and vent mods done to this car and it isnt even pushing much over stock ?

[@oat.cortadhoe]

Change out that FRAM oil filter ASAP. I did my thesis on oil filters in school and FRAM had so many issues compared to other manufacturers. Here’s to hoping you don’t have oil pressure issues with it.

[@noirrain6005]

That’s probably an emergency filter for the race. I doubt he will keep it

[@johnjohnjohn4557]

😱😱

[@BigBote]

I think you should just build a splitter made of birch wood. Do some research and you’ll see how many people does this. It saves a lot of money and time. This is what I’m doing for my WRX

[@zachh8664]

Time for a spoon front bumper

[@Driftkage]

LEGENDS GANNNGGGG SHE WILL BE BACK YOU GOT THIS 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@ChinitFxt]

😮Stephaniedrift sorry Dut got side track

[@robin9014]

Time to build the Toyota Corolla and try to see if the luck change, you been having bad luck with that car.

[@shiftpinoy]

Make mistakes. And learn from it. J’s racing front bumper in coming!!! Lmao

[@sezuawn3861]

You should build a 7th gen Celica dustin:)

[@jesuspalafox95]

Bad luck fk8 😢

[@jason415.]

I want you to bring back the s2k, i think it’s faster than the type R.

[@abirahmed8955]

Have you thought about converting it to street class? You are gonna have a tough time having success with the fk8 in that class

[@camjt19]

Somebody get Tim some proper power tools. The amount of times I see him using a ratchet when he could be using power tools is insane.

[@josephmatuszak3855]

Some duct tape, a bit of hammer straightening, and some zip ties and new oil filter..... npnp. Sh** happens. It's how ya deal with it.

[@RealMackii]

Yessirrr

[@adalbertoalejandro4346]

S2000 needa come back

[@camcul_traveling6786]

good

[@MiguelMartinez-zs4rq]

I say put your old fk8 engine in the s2k and bring the s2k back !

[@Zosh]

These intro cinematics need to be a damn commercial 😂🔥

[@Goodman-4525]

Sand sucks ... it's rough and course and gets everywhere ...

[@engineeringrentkey948]

We proudly in your and your team...never give up brother... Let's step forward 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

[@ebya_jv3816]

Feels like your constantly changing the car up. Maybe drive on a setup for a bit til you feel like you have control of the car more and know all the little ticks the car has. Iono just saying. Keep at it though. Doing great work bro!

[@weedshoes5089]

The track changes more session to session and day to day than his car will from most of these changes. There's not much to be gained by keeping the exact same setup season after season.

[@emersonviana6539]

hasn’t even done a full season let alone finished a race in that car.

[@martin.k3211]

You should joined Ben racing new class... Real dog fight in racing

[@jonahfish]

Bruh you gotta stop breaking your whips homie 🤦🏻‍♂️ Jkjk keep pushing forward homie

[@roguez9858]

You are a fkn warrior Dut, stuff happens and that’s just racing. Props to you for taking it on the chin and a huge shoutout to your friends for being there for you for support. Love you Dut, keep your head high and crush the next event!!

[@adriansaldana8498]

Take that bumper off and send it brother

[@jasonrohena4183]

Certified badass girl car sounds like Hans rx7
