Complete History of the Honda Civic Type R - from EK9 to FK8 - With Surprise Drag Race!

The Honda Civic Type R is Japan's most famous Hot Hatch, and it's been around for over 20 years. We take a look back at every generation and every single car made of the Civic Type R, from the original EK9 of the 90s, to today's Nurburgring-beating FK8.
Paul and Tiff get to grips with Vtec, as well as Honda's rather difficult model naming system. Which would you have? All this and rounded off with a Honda Civic Type R drag race, with a very surprising outcome!
The legendary EP3? A JDM FD2? Or something else entirely? Let us know in the comments below!

What a great episode! I don't know how I missed it the first time around. Thanks KZfaq algorithm. I am a proud owner of a 2019 FK8 and that car is a permanent addition to the collection. The car drive's like a dream. The only problem I have with it is that I am always driving all the gas out of it because I just find reasons to drive it more when I should be going home. There is a reason why these cars have appreciated in value. My car is worth more money now than when I bought it! You can't say that about too many cars from the last few years. Keep up the great work.

The NA ones might not be that quick but the smoothness of the K series engine from idle all the way up to the red line is really magnificent. Really linear build up and engaging power curve.That little boost when vtec kicks in makes it a little more fun. They feel like proper sports car engines compare to some of the hot hatches which use a 2 liter turbo shared across the company. Just the fact that Honda made such high revving engine roadworthy and so reliable wins me any day.

@fleurdewin7958 5 жыл бұрын

Honda started off as a motorcycle company before they venture into car business. VTEC originated from race bike engines. All race bikes have tonnes of horsepower, revs very high but generates little torque , which is also the same characteristics of VTEC car engines. Though some older Civics are not real Type R, I think they are of significant importance in the history of type R. The oldest "Type-R related Civic" must be the JDM CRX (EF8) , under 1 tonne, JDM spec B16A engine makes 170HP , its a pocket rocket. With its chassis weighing under 1 tonne and it sits low because those days there were no such rule to carmakers as "pedestrian safety compliance" .It flies ; 0-100km/h in 7.2 sec .

i have driven most of those cars, they are all brilliant, but i would choose the FK8 every day, which i did as i own one lol. The styling doesnt put me off at all, i like that its different from all other cars. Its not trying to pretend something its not. Even for every day driving the FK8 is the best option. The FK2 is too stiff and the older cars are hard to find without them needing alot of TLC to be as good as they were again. Also the FD2 was never sold in Europe nor the US, so good luck trying to find one.. The FN2 is a much underappreciated car. Its far better than people give it credit for.

Great video guys. The Honda Civic Track formula actually began with the EF9 SIR and then morphed into the EG6 SIR which I owned. EG6 had a B16A engine with118kw standard from a 1.6ltr four with LSD and sway bars. The EG6 top civic track car then morphed into the EK SIR but the top track civic of this model belonged to the EK9 which had a B16B engine 136kw standard from a 1.6ltr four with lsd and sway bars again. But the actual first Type R, Championship white, red Honda/type R badges, white wheels, red seats, and titanium gear knob started with the NSX-R in 1992. Your welcome!

I've driven on this road, it's got loads of sweeping corners and quite fun. Also the abandoned air field is great for drag races

I own the fd2 currently but I miss my ek9. Sadly it decided to take on a 4x4 and lost, front end missing. About the upgrade to the current model though in 6 months or so. Can't wait 😁

Awesome vid ! Good to see all the civic type Rs in one, needs to be more like this ! I own an Fn2, amazing car but you always want what u can’t have, I’d choose the fd2 or the fk2 😍 maybe one day when I’m rich I’ll own one of each type Rs🤣🤣

and it goes like there's no tomorrow absolutely love it and love the fact that Honda have combined vtec with turbo for such a great mid range and top end performance and while being quick to 60 as well,the car is fantastic and 1 other major plus point is I can get 40 mpg on a long run on motorway ,I'm smitten with it:)
