VTEC! 400 HP Honda Civic Type R Nürburgring POV

[@mech770]

Was a great lap with you mate, look forward to next year!

[@mgcharoudin]

Thank you for the opportunity!

[@Wydarr]

Could you list the mods that you've done to it? Also, at least on the FK8 you can deactivate collision mitigation completely (which I always do on track), so it gets rid of the annoying beeping 😁

[@mech770]

@@Wydarr eventuri intake and charge pipe, tegiwa b pipe and a map mate Made sure it was properly serviced too including valve clearances. Put the fk8 2 piece discs on and some updated brembo pads, but I’ll probably change those out soon. Used an acuity instruments kit for the shifter which put spherical bearings on the cables and hard mounted the cradle. Braided brake lines and motul rbf660 and ps4s tyres.

This is a much better test of a Civic Type R than a 0-60 or 1/4 mile drag race where it just spins up.

[@nielsdebakker3283]

matt watson triggered ;)

[@corleth2868]

@@nielsdebakker3283 lol no I love the Carwow videos but the Civic Type R always loses out to the S3 or Golf R in drag races but it's not the same when they're on a track. Pretty sure Matt Watson did a GR Yaris, Civic Type R and an A45s on a track? (Although the Type R did come 3rd...). My comment was aimed at EVs too where the Tesla Model S Plaid might slaughter everything on a drag strip but it's almost exactly the same time around the Ring as an RS3 and M3 Touring and slower than the M4 CSR. In the real world roads have corners and you have to break and accelerate regularly not jut put your foot flat to the floor when traffic lights change to green ;o)

[@rculture]

​@@corleth2868 facts!

[@thecooljohn100]

@@corleth2868 I agree but barely anyone 'in the real world' is taking corners at the limits of their car. It'd be stupid to do so because roads are not prepped, clean surfaces. There's way more risk in taking hard corners on regular roads than stepping full down on the gas in an all wheel drive, 3 motor, electric rocket just going straight. That's why muscle cars with straight line speed are so popular in America, even though I personally hate Dodge and their Chargers and Challengers. It's a lot easier/safer to just step on it going straight, hearing the engine roar, have a little thrill, than to take a hard corner and slip on cracked, oiled up tarmac and end up in a tree or a house. Track driving is something most people don't ever do with their sports car.

[@jjchockey]

@@thecooljohn100 ehhh I wouldn’t say that. The Tesla accelerates so dam quickly it is very probable someone would pull out in front of you in a blink of an eye. It’s insane how fast they can go from 0-100MPH and that normal civilians who don’t know how to drive can buy one.

[@fastmusicalcarz]

I have a fk2 type r too. Mine is circa 430hp and my God it's fast. It surprises a lot of people. If you haven't driven one I recommend it. They're fantastic

[@budojon]

this car is all about THE SUSPENSION ! i was so impressed how it can handle cobble stone and other terrain. the tires are great for accelleration, but too soft for the ring, since thes start smearing. i still love the michelin, since they are so responsive and give a nice feedback.

[@ddrrFA5]

Hope you can get your hands on an FD2 sometime! It was faster than an NSX, Evo VI and an FD RX-7 around Suzuka when tested by Best Motoring.

[@jonmanuelreyes7588]

[@MaxAlfonzo99]

It’s a modified JDM ‘17-19 FK8 CTR. Can tell by the interior. Have a ‘21 CTR and can notice the slight differences. As a FK8 owner yourself, would have thought you’d known that, too.

[@sheshd]

FN2 and FK2 are hideous! Not a huge fan of the FK8 but it's definitely the nicer of the 3 and interior is amazing.

For some reason they started to make Civic longer and longer and now it looks like a caricature, FN2 most beautiful agreed

Great lap, looking forward to coming to the ring next week!

[@jackjr1]

It's amazing the job Honda did on the Type-R to cool it down. The temp guage was below half-way the entire time. Not sure if owner had some mods which helped w/that.

[@gorastd4815]

it’s nothing strange there, any honda, lawnmower, gokart, car, supercar, if you change fluids and maintain it right, you can push it to the factory limit 24/7

[@jackjr1]

@@gorastd4815 agreed, but cooling down a turbo car like this is quite an engineering feat. It's a struggle

the coolant temp stayed cool but the oil hit 124C at the end

Nice I have one just like that. Same colour even. Except mine doesn't have a Turbo, and it's a pre-facelift, and it has no wing and it has the regular EX interior. And smaller wheels, and it's riding a bit taller, and, well, it's just a stock 1.8 ivtec XD

I have an FN2 but love the FK2 would be a dream upgrade. Just couldn't afford it but a great car I drive one, I miss the analogue fear of my FN2 when I drove it, but with some mods I suppose you can make the sounds almost as good as the old school. Great to see it on the track. Not many around but there's some really big boosted ones coming out from good factory conversions.
