FD2R was sold to 2 markets in the world Japan and Malaysia - Officially

[@zairuljr1347]

FD2Rs were also available in Malaysia

[@Shakattack45]

That handshake haha. Alan is such a cool guy man. Ur camera work never ceases to blow me away, good job bro

[@rapture2028]

I changed my DC5 final drive to 5.1 since the FD2Rs always want the DC5R 456 gears. Should consider doing so to yours as well, makes a big difference

[@Pete0126]

I did the same in my fg2 :) love the difference

[@tomgarner4913]

Great content man! Are we also gonna see the update of the Dc5 with the new parts?

[@andydhillon1977]

This chassis will go down as the best Civic.

[@Honda_sev]

These are going to be available to import to Canada next year. I'm seriously considering getting one.

[@Pete0126]

shhhhh quiet lets not hype them up too much. these are shit cars ;)

[@saltysweatyhands]

Hope you can get your hands on one, as for us people in the states we gotta wait until 2032 😔

[@judeelcheikh7698]

You gotta review the FN2, imo the most misunderstood and underrated Type Rs. Its a car that you cant knock till you try it.

[@mattpurcell4108]

that was my first car. Absolutely loved that thing

[@wildchilde69]

I was about to comment the same thing. Appreciation for the FN2 is on the rise lately, but it copped so much flak upon launch - mostly from people who never drove one and just parroted that Top Gear review from a disgruntled JC.

[@dhlee8984]

If you've ever driven an FD2R, underrated is an understatement.. Lol

[@judeelcheikh7698]

@@mattpurcell4108 Got one as my first car and underestimated it based off reviews

[@judeelcheikh7698]

@@wildchilde69 Prices have risen and I think more people are realising its potential

[@eujinchan]

The FD2R was also officially sold in Malaysia aside from Japan. How come you didn't mention about the issue of the sagging roof lining in this car which plagues the FD2R.

[@nicolai1246]

you can even see it in the video 😂

[@williamcheng1287]

That is an issue that 8th generation civic owners will have to get fixed eventually. It is not that expensive to replace. A vehicle upholstery company can fix it for you. I had mine replaced with black headliner to match the rest of the interior of the car.

[@zairulazfar88]

My country so lucky because Honda Malaysia bring in brand new fd2r to Malaysia market..

[@dvljt11]

Love your videos bro keep it up

[@KeenanStyles]

Excellent work Clay you can’t go wrong with a FD2 CTR. I was actually cross shopping between a FD2 and DC5 but ultimately went with the DC5 because of the rarity and a good FD2 CTR was the same price that +2011 ISFs were going for. Love the videos and all your content. When the country opens definitely come visit us in Tokyo man we’ll show you around and it would be pretty legendary to hit the weight room with you once

[@NowIknowCh]

How does isf compare to dc5?

[@alvintan9717]

Should go for FD2 Type R, the body is 50% more rigid than the DC5 Type R from Factory, and the cylinder head flow is hand-port from factory!

[@jeffduhbboy]

"Look at the amount of space!" Indicating towards the rear seats that is only several centermetres from the front seats 🤣🤣🤣

[@JerryJr.V]

My brother and I own a non type R fd, with a K20Z2 automatic (we always drive it at sport mode for the paddle shifters), and its just a really great car, if anyone is having second thoughts about getting one, esepcially an OG JDM Type R, you should go definitely get one, Clay explain why they were good, and Im here to tell you that the FD platform in general is just great overall, I have mine with just the stock K20Z2, coilovers, wheels and tires, along with the type R body kit (No front chin) and it's already amazing at driving the hills. You cant go wrong with an FD, its really a great win for JDM!

[@thatguyben3128]

Yeh i think the FD2 platform is pretty cool too👌🏼I’ve got one but swapped out the K20Z2/5speed for a K24A3/6speed with all the good bolt-ons along with suspension/brake upgrades. Going supercharged very soon but keeping the body stealth, gotta love a sleeper 😴 ✔️

[@AkashYousuf]

@@thatguyben3128 can we get in touch? I’m doing exact same thing with my car.

[@seVen-rz5cm]

A mic is gonna help your audio alot whenever you’re in a closed environment like the carpark you were at.

[@romperfetto-yo1ff]

Hi Clay I enjoy all your videos , I got excited and got myself a Honda type R and am enjoying it very much, cheers !

[@harley1710]

We need an EP3 Type R review

[@TheDalitis8]

I also own a DC5 Type-R and just like Clay, I am willing to swallow the fact that my car is a bit inferior performance-wise to the FD2 in favor of the DC5's much better looks.

[@randolph5401]

If Honda was to just remake this car as it is , the market will just go berserk including me.

[@tashi8987]

Love your all JDM videos. I m from Hong Kong and now live in Sydney .

[@marjayachanzar7617]

Shoutout to you from your fan here in the philippines loce your vlogs is very informative and specific more hp to you bro

[@playwithcars]

I had a choice to go with a FD2R or DC5R. But ultimately went with DC5R, the fd2r is really good car and i have setup a few, but it doesn't have that engagement/rawness with the playfulness that the DC5R has. It is so capable the car almost feels numb. Ultimately these cars are meant to put a smile on your face. Outright performance isn't the main thing and it was the DC5R that put the bigger smile on my face. (Obviously the looks too)

[@playwithcars]

Ps: My DC5R has some engine stuff done, 5.1 gearing and the RRC intake manifold. Maybe that help the car become more engaging too. And i come from Singapore. We have a ton of these fd2r ard but like 10 or so dc5r left lol

[@danielservin2450]

Imo the pinnacle of Honda design and performance. My all time favorite civic Gen in the best color and type r.

[@laptalk-alanwu1730]

My honor again featured in your Chanel again Clay 🙏🙏

[@anthonyhoang203]

Honda type R FD2 is a rare car to buy and find

[@damonjoseph7729]

Great review of this beautiful car. Isn’t there a DC 2 Type R that was the first sedan??

[@afarrel3195]

i think its a coupe

[@aubreyprice5839]

Clay man loving the videos but please get a mic on u it will up the quality so much

[@BruceWayneAlexTheRipper]

Amazing car and content bro. Can you do a tour and ride of the basic FD? Would be amazing to see the R16/R18 engine in action. Kinda underated imo when it comes to practicality

[@rickmcintosh3570]

We had these in Jamaica too. I was in love with them in college.

[@Pieteros21]

@Clay Wong Can you do FN2 vs FD2 ?

[@bsm.racing]

Honda also built a DC2 Integra Type R 4 door.

[@BossB14]

I literally sold my EK9 Vouge Metallic Silver for a Champ white FD2r.. have a new born so needed that 4dr CTR 😂😅 cheers from NZ 🤙

[@darrylteo3900]

am owning one of these FD2 CTR and honestly not regretting it! #seeyou9000rpm

[@djjohnnydread4441]

Great video!!! I will be selling my FD2R in a few months.

[@jialatdotcomdotsg4998]

You guys so lucky in Australia playing with all the antique exotic jdm cars.. In Malaysia all the current owners trying to make profits with their used cars.

[@rapture2028]

Singapore as well

[@Pete0126]

He missed a point in the beginning saying this was was a Japan exclusive, I'm sure these models sold in Malaysia are going for big $$ now in the used market

[@alemspreco]

hopefully one day i can get a FD2 Type R to sit next to my DC5 Type R

[@michaelv9210]

Yo Clay when you talk about Kilograms can you do a Pounds conversion because I can’t convert that easy 😂

[@dixon310]

It would be great if you have a mic with you inside the car park while you talking.

[@dtrang]

Not the only 4 door type R, you have the DB8R - 4 door version of the DC2R

[@kos5120]

Don't forget the euro R. Same motor etc

[@funghung6918]

@@kos5120 is not exactly the same motor although it is a k20a2 platform. It has a balancing shaft inside the engine as well as a different gear box. That’s why it is called a euro r instead of type r. Euro r is a nice car with better comfort and interior space.

[@nozzerjuice]

I love type Rs, I need to find me a JDM legend!

[@kenisahrer]

Need to change that roof lining

[@brittonwritespoetry]

The FD2 Type R is not the only 4 door Type R. What about the CL1 and CL7 Euro R and 4 Door Integra Type R?

[@deet4895]

The Accord Euro-Rs weren't true Type-R cars, that's why they didn't get that distinction, they were made to be really sporty on-road sports cars, while the Type-Rs are designed to be track focused vehicles.

[@NcoolG]

There were a accord typeR UK spec

[@RAVI-do2vz]

Ngl when I am just walking or something and I see a civic bc I live in vic I just assume it’s clay

[@declanosbourne62]

Hey, can I get this car as a Left hand drive for the American market ?

[@Ju4t0wn3d]

3047 broady boyz, in all seriousness loving the videos

[@somerandomclips429]

Only if my R18 was a K20😭... Still a good handling car

[@RampartPh]

is it true that the 2.0 civic fd non-type r (a/t tranny) uses a k20z engine?

[@NelBRZ]

Nice review. Not 100% sure how the Japanese grading work, but the loose roof lining annoys me😂

[@WORMGERM]

Alan just seems like a cool bloke.

[@MarkAntigua]

Alan is a legend!

[@deet4895]

FD2 Civic Type-Rs were officially sold in Malaysia.

[@doc_matter]

The Db8 Integra was another sedan type R

[@masrurridho]

Im here to hear the v-tec, where i can find it?

[@antoniusjonatan8902]

Civic FD is the best Civic ever designed and produced by Honda in my opinion

[@EduardHaz]

Im from Europe and the fn2 type r are very common in my area but sadly I want a fd2 and the only way to get its from uk

[@prodalumi]

i'd honestly love one of them.

[@nickhybner8485]

Your videos area awesome !

[@MarkAntigua]

Do all FD2r's have the lines on the bonnet? or do some not?

[@wilz5527]

Broadmeadows!!!

[@rennnesssy]

You say at one point the FD2R is the only sedan Type R, but wasn't the CL7 Accord Euro also a sedan Type-R?

[@funghung6918]

Sorry mate, euro r is not in the type r line although it does have a k20a2 engine. All type r lines have red badges in stock form.

[@leandroelomba]

what is the rev limit?

[@needforsleep987]

Can we talk about that hand shake lol

[@pdouangsavanh]

Correction db8 type r was 4 door version of the dc2r

[@novawasalwayshere]

But now he wants to sell it to get an FK8 :( i like the FD2R better

Truly love this car. If I hadn't found my personal favourite, the UK Accord Type R, this is the one I would have gone for. Speaking of which, the FD2 isn't the only sedan Type R ever created 😊

Oh right, there was the DB8 Integra Type R

[@seVen-rz5cm]

yep the Accord Euro R

[@NcoolG]

FD2R hav wider fenders than stand FD

Bruh for the same price you buy that civic, you can buy a skyline and and it will have more potential than the civic, I know because I used to own one before and I thought it was fast af😂

[@TheErik1119]

Skyline over rated and highly over priced

[@Yuaaaur]

@@TheErik1119 people that say overrated and overpriced are usually the ones that don’t have them and know they will never have them, I know because I was there once, driving all types of different Honda’s, EG, EJ, EM, and even the FD2, but it was until I bought a GC8 WRX and experienced a turbo then I know I will never go back to a NA, my mate spent the same amount of money I spent to dyno tune FBO my FD2 and he ended up making 400hp and I’m still making just 240hp, until your sitting there driving and getting all the attention you will never know what it’s like

[@Yuaaaur]

@@TheErik1119 you wanna talk about over priced, let’s talk about those idiots selling their NA Honda’s for $22k, I’m not speaking from no experience but this after my friends and myself became woke and sold our Honda’s for real cars, last night I saw a guy out for sale a EM1 civic with the B16 motor going for $15k, that thing is worth $6k if anything, it’s ridiculous, you can get a 350z for that price and still beat a lot of top player cars

[@TheErik1119]

@@Yuaaaur I’m not gonna lie people buying a stock Honda for 16 or whoever much is outrageous like u said. Now u saying Eh,ej are not real cars yeah that’s 🧢 People like the Honda platform just because it’s so cheap and modifiable . And have just as much potential as a skyline also why Honda’s like those are super car slayers for a reason

[@TheErik1119]

@@Yuaaaur u can easily make 400hp or maybe 500 with good eternals on a d series if u went turbo for ej and eg. Nothing wrong with skylines I wouldn’t mind paying 30k for a skyline but to say that Na isn’t a real car yeah nah . There is a reason why Honda’s are so popular lol . If u really wanted to build a good Honda u could . 6k is the most I would pay and I Still wouldn’t pay 6k . 5500 or so is my max . It was a lot cheaper for used cars a year ago. 4000 for a decent civic a year ago and another 5k in good internals/parts and turbo u would be flying if u really wanted too.
