*NEW CAR* Is This The Ultimate Fast Family Hot Hatch?
IT'S NEW CAR DAY! Today we head out to Letchworth to pickup the new daily car, and this one could just be the ultimate fast family hot hatch! I've looked at these cars for ages and always wanted one, but it also ticks off all the boxes I've been looking for.
It's fast, fun, has 5 doors, is over 300bhp from the factory, has loads of boot space, and loads of room inside as well. The ride is comfy, and it has all the tech you need in a car, this really is a functional weapon of a car, and if I wanted I could also take it to shows, plus it is a popular car to modify. It really has it all!
You know what it is by now, I bought a Honda Civic Type R FK2!
I hope you enjoy the video, and let me know what you think of the new car!

Get new radiator hose clamps fitted! They will be rotten and cause head gasket failure
@honda.spares.man1 thanks for the heads up, not something I knew about so appreciate that! Standard from Honda or any recommendations for others?

red line bashing time 😁
@@eve9n857 well 😏🤣
Welcome to the darkside 😈 cant beat a white civic with red seats 🤪
@connorlake4675 haha no mate you cannot! And thanks, always loved these and needed to upgrade. Family life and all that 🫣
@dominichills yeah know the feeling mate, however yours is considerably more family friendly than mine 🤣 would love to park them together for a pic one time
@@connorlake4675 definitely mate, I think one week I'll bring it to ECJ instead of the Evo, or get Sammy to drive one
@@dominichills sounds like a plan 😎
Why are they so big now. I miss the old smaller size. Hot hatches are huge now. Nice though 👍🏼
@js5189 thanks! I think this isn't too bad, the FK8 seems a lot bigger from when I test drove one a few videos back. The things is that all cars are just getting bigger and bigger nowadays, it's crazy!
Very nice Type R Dom, well done 👍🏻
@Kelvyn-t3g thanks Kelvyn
Love that FK civic they are pretty rare from what I heard only made for 2 years and someone had one and said it was turbo though it was out of my budget. Definitely want to see some videos on that if you modify it but tbh its a good enough car as it is. Cool muscle cars aswell love the Shelby gt500. I love the look of the charger unfortunately they are not really ment for tracks and handling though which is a put off for me if it had great handling it would be one of my dream cars. Looks like alot of dedication went into that car though and whoever owned it cared and loved it. I guess I'm more of a British muscle car fan or pony car fan.
@jayfrosvlogs yes the FK2 aren't that rare I don't think. I think it was 5000 made in the UK, maybe less. Yes, I love the muscle cars, and no they're definitely more of a drag style car, or straight line speed. But I'd still love to have one!
@@dominichills really i thought there was only 2,500 FK's. some muscle cars do corner ok like the corvette and camaro and modern ones. though back in the 1960s and 70s the chassis and parts could not handle that much power and most muscle cars were built just for pure power and fast cars back then. i researched the old dodge charger does 0 to 60 in 6 seconds thats very good for the 1970s. if you wanted a fast car that handled well you would have to opt for a ferrari which would be very expensive id imagine. it was either handling or speed or be rich and have both i take it. affordable sports cars would struggle to do 0 to 60 in 10 seconds. dodge charger wasnt a cheap car back in the day but alot cheaper than a ferrari
Yes made 2500 for UK but when u think of the colours red black blue white and grey that isn't a lot! The red number is about 460 and the grey is 396 so yes it's a rare car
@markabbott6818 oh wow! So my number is like 4296 or something, so I thought that meant 5000 were made in the UK.
@@dominichills I've send u a list of colours made in uk over on your Instagram
Looks sick! Can’t wait to see it and take it for a drive 🙌🏻😂 watch this space guys…
@samanthamartin3613 thanks mate, it is a lovely car! Seems different to the FK8 we drove
😬
@biggiejdm I literally saw yours and was like, DAMN! Great minds!
@ 😅 you keep a good secret. Beautiful car and a more than honourable daily. I'll see you at the track 🤞😉
@biggiejdm haha might have to just do that 😉
I bought a track spec 8 and have still not tracked it don’t trust myself
@@xxzusxx do it! So much fun! I took mine once but not again as I'd be gutted if I broke it. But if you've bought it for that purpose, get cracking! 👌
@@dominichills Did you get your seat mounts you were looking for ?
@xxzusxx yeah got some in the end thanks. Got a set but only need drivers
What if it arrives and you arent happy? Damn it sucks in uk for getting nice jdm cars.
@js5189 I think you've committed to the sale so you have to still but it I assume. I've seen other youtubers say it is a risk, as some Japanese auction house grade 4 cars aren't worthy of a 4. I don't think they're dropping subframes etc to reveal some of the issues that people might face etc, so I think there is definitely always a risk. And I'll be honest, from when I did it I think the cost is now similar to just find a good one here.
Do you have driveability or stalling issues on high and low rpms with the current settings with cams and pops and bangs. I actually dig the set up 😊
@shavi6 no mate all solid! Nothing wrong with it. Gary at AP Tuning in Norfolk knows his stuff
Didn't realise one of the maids was taking pics with my car at 7:35 haha. Great vid man, see you there in 2025? :)
@@Goodstegosaurus yes mate I'll be there for sure!
Doesn’t look as good as the mk7
they are quite expensive now.. but if i found a car non -auction. This all shipping cost would be different , right ?
@HS-sr9ww shipping should be the same I would assume so if you're happy, go for it. 👍
One of 1st things I bought for my project, before I even have an engine lolz
@arcadecraig6441 I tried to resist wanting to keep the Evo 8 one but we all know the 9 one looks better 😅
@ yeah 9 rear bumper should be law lol.
Mk8.5 has a way more aggressive torque strategy than the 8.
Its like the mk7 fiesta is like the ep3 type r and the mk8 like the fn2
@jayjay378378 I do love an EP3!
Mk 7 may not tune as high at stage 1, but you can push the mk7 up to over 300bhp, sometimes to 380ish bhp on stock internals whereas the mk8 needs to go forged internals if you get to 265-280ish and over. So better gains for just a tune, but you spend much more money if you want to squeeze out the higher end of the engines capabilities. The 1.6 4 pot is just a remarkably reliable engine. I know someone who maybe changed their oil 3 times in 8ish years, and absolutely punished the car. Was very sad to see, but it did city, highway and farm driving, cross country runs etc and lasted to 138000KM before a coolant tank exploded and the engine airlocked and needed a rebuild. A car that can go so long with essentially 0 maintenance and ran pretty damn well until the very end shows just how amazingly overbuilt and strong those 1.6's are. Legend says it the lad has learned his lesson now after forking out for a full new sub assembly, reconditioned top block and reconditioned turbo. Maintaining it quite well going since 🤣🤣
Awesome Alpina ❤ I'm biased 😊
@@3000FAst haha, it is a lovely car
Looked like a good meet, bring on the 2025 car season 🙌🏻
@@samanthamartin3613 can't wait!
It was a good little turnout, nice seeing you.
Interesting, I would have assumed a grade 4 would have a good chassis. Glad you mentioned all this.
@mrcrumb4302 yes me too haha. But recently I've watched a few videos by Jimmy Oakes and he even mentioned a 4 is never a 4, and it's always less.
Still got the seats ? ?? 8:08

They are fairly quick up to 150 but after that.... Mine is a stage 2 daily.

Very interesting video, thanks for taking the time to make and upload it. It hardly seem worth it these days with those prices though. I have been considering a used Legacy twin turbo wagon like I had in NZ. (Though in NZ cars are brought in by the boat load used from Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore).
@adamlee3772 thanks for watching and the awesome words 😀 Oh I agree, right now it's not worth it. But too be honest, I wanted a Jap Import, just to say it was one haha. Yes NZ import a lot, so do Australia and I assume it'll be cheaper, and less of a wait. Just got to avoid the ones with issues over here.
Did you end up weighing the olds and new?
No not in the end sadly.
I just daily my STI all year round. I just make sure to keep the underside clean and protected. They’re at their best in the winter months with all that cold air and slippery road surfaces!
