The Honda crowd (dare I say family) is always so chill. It's awesome you got to link up with some guys and just talk about the civic's. Great video as always Oh ya...never get rid of the 9th Gen
So happy for you dude. I was going to buy a Type R but ended up doing a 180 and got a 2021 Nissan Titan Pro 4x. I will be living vicariously through your journey of Type R ownership. Congrats, Cameron!
8:00 dodging potholes. Calm down old lady🤣🤣 I can relate. Here I’m trying to avoid bumps in my lowered Evo and people are looking at me like I’m drunk or something.
To turn on rear wiper go in reverse while wipers are on. Bronze or machine black Titan 7 ts5 - 18x9.5 +45 5 x120....no rub if lowered with SWIFT SPEC-R LOWERING SPRINGS - 2017+ CIVIC TYPE-R (FK8)
I’m a fan of bronze wheels on the black Type R. I don’t have an actual wheel recommendation. So many good ones. I would suggest 18” with tire size 245/40R18 to stay true to OEM diameter. Michelin Pilot Sport 4S is absolutely the best choice.
NSX Y spokes - All you need to know. 19" with ET55. Its very close to factory wheel offset and they're not as expensive as you think I got mine for about $625/wheel including shipping. Do it!!
Thanks for allowing us to follow you on your cross country journey back to CA! About the black paint, I know this will run your budget through the roof if you have it done at a shop but a ceramic coat and paint correction should be in your Top 5 upgrades needed on your Type R. It was for mine (actually #3 only list). Tint was the first thing I had done on my R but glad you had yours done already. Glad you’re strongly considering to ceramic coat and perform a paint correction. Upgrade the wheels/tires afterwards. Put together a needs vs. wants list to help ease the conscience. I think those other upgrades would be nice to add towards the summer time. Look into the Gram Lights 57DRs 18x9.5 like what I have. Hook up with Thomson at System Motorsports and see what he has in stock. I had to wait a few months for mine but he may have something in stock for you. Enjoy a nice drive over to the East Bay to Hayward and pick them up from his warehouse to save some money on shipping. Really nice guy and easy to work with. Slap on a current promo code and you can get them for around 1700. Let every other upgrade fall in place after that. I think America’s Tire has a promo on Michelin’s right now. Also see if you can use a military discount for more savings as well! Do everything slowly but surely and within reason. Every little thing you add to your car is like a painter taking every stroke with the brush and then ending up with a masterpiece work of art after all is said and done!
General AS 255/35/20 tires fit perfectly on the fk8. They absorb the potholes well too. I got a set from discount tire from $730ish. Well worth it to me. You won't even have to spend the money on wheels, save it for other mods.
R mode stiffens up the suspension, increases throttle response and I think it makes the steering a bit more weighty than sport... Maybe more boost than sport as well
@@shiftautomotive854OTS for now until i can get summers on it but maybe ~10% more power than stock and more mid range than stock. Ive been doing 1 mod at a time and the dp+tune made a huge difference in power
It's a brand new car you don't need to do a paint correction...PPF can also ruin the paint if left on the car too long. After a while UV rays break it down, & it becomes brittle and the adhesive is almost impossible to remove. Ceramic coating & maintaining a safe following distance is your best bet.
Do something that draws your attention the first time around. Certain wheels (and colors, keep that in mind), will pronounce certain bodylines. Sharper, more aggressive cars can be better with less busy, simple wheels, while smooth, simple cars can be better with more complex wheels. I'm partial to 5 / 6 spokes for the Type R personally
I also bought a my first FK7(2021 Honda Civic Sport Manual) Black as well this week, over 400 miles a way. Planning to go a pick it up next week. I have so many mods in mind.
Black Civic owner here..please do a video on the paint treatment..I had irremoveable water spots on my last car and want to know how to avoid that on my new one!
I’ve never done it, but Id imagine if you drop the back seats and slide across the back window privacy shade thing, get some pillows and blankets, I feel like it would be pretty comfy 😂
Congrats on the the new car. Love the type r, was thinking about getting one last year but settled on the accord 2.0 touring. Anyways enjoy watching your videos, keep up the good work.
Sick outro. I agree with you about the wheels. An aggressive and sharp design would fit reall well. I scrolled through Tirerack and here's a couple suggestions in no particular order: Flow One Race Spec - F2 Savini Black Di Forza - BM14 Forged One Competition - FF10 (these are $pendy) O.Z. - Ultraleggera HLT (Gold or Bronze) BBS - CI-R (19in)

Hey man just found your channel today and i’m thinking of getting an 8th gen from a dealership for 7k with 111,000 miles i’m super excited. We’re test driving it on saturday and i’m just praying it doesn’t have problems
My s2000 has been missing the cigarette lighter plug cover for 5 years. And I just replaced it with a brand new one today. And let me say, it's a damn good feeling. fixing all these very little details. You should try fixing your old civic, and see where that leads you. You might find a new passion. And even more content to the channel.
Thank you for your Service and congratulations to your sweet Ride. I owned 2012 WRX Premium HatchBack about 350 WHP and I bought a 2021 Acura RDX last year. I'm a new Subscriber , love all your content brother. Keep it up and Stay Safe.. Greetings from San Diego California
Hey Chris! Thank you for the nice comment. That WRX must have been a beast. I have always wanted one. I will bring one to the channel someday! also, jealous that you live in San Diego
Super lightweight bronze wheels so that you can be quicker. Going below 20 wheels may throw off the geometry of the type r from factory. I believe the 20 wheels are meant to help fight torque steer.
Going down to 18’s will probably give you a larger selection of wheels to choose from, and they’d most likely weigh less than the 19’s. The increased sidewall will improve the ride and offer a bit more cushion when you hit those bumps & potholes. That being said, you’ll also probably see a slight increase in understeer, and the car will probably not feel as “sharp” as it does with the 19’s. 19’s should also do a better job of managing tire temperatures, especially when pushing the car hard.
I personally went with the ce28sl. 18x9.5 44 offset. I could only find them in "takata green" so I had them powder coated satin black and I love the look! I feel 18s subdue the look and the ce28sl still give it that Japanese style. Offset is very important in terms of handling and torque steer. From what I understand you need 45 or higher offset to not reintroduce torque steer. I could only find that rim in 44 but its close enough and the torque steer I've noticed has been barely noticeable. Plus its a smoother ride and I don't cringe on potholes. I feel like it pulls better too bc they are the lightest wheels on the market to my knowledge.
They are pricey but some nice wheels are Advan RS2s. Also if you end up getting that AWE exhaust you are going to love it. By far some of the nicest sounding exhausts available. I was tossed on whether to get the MAPerformance street exhaust or the AWE touring one for my Si and ended up going AWE and I don’t regret it.
for my 10th gen si i ordered bronze gramlight 57drs, but i actually found pics of a black type R with them on it for reference, it honestly looks really good. should be one of the first results on google images if you search up "type r bronze 57drs"
Started watching you when you uploaded the video where you got your Type R and after went thru your channel and saw the rest of your older videos 💯🙏 Awesome content man, keep up the good work 💯🙏👍🏽
Go for flowforming wheels. Light weight and sport looking. It will look good and you will earn performance atnthe same time. Suggest brand would be Enkei as this is a JP car. BBS and SSW also looking great.
For wheels Enkei Kojin look super sick especially on the type r, get with an offset below 30 for some nice concavity, plus the 5 spoke shows off the brembos more 😍
Titan 7 TS5 18*9.5 bronze are dope on the black! I have them on my 18 R. On 265/35/18 RE-71R Bridgestone. My care still on stock suspension so the tire fills up gap between fender and tire. Alot more peace of mind getting of stocks. The titans are forge rims for a decent price. I would get the Michelin 4s tires on any rim you get if you don't plan on tracking the car much
@cameron Hill u should get ur car clear vinyl wrap like the bumper hood fenders and front left and right mirrors also check out graphene coating..its more protection than ceramic...
Enjoy your Type R as riding from Indiana to California as safely. BBS wheels are nice but $$$, you can looked at Titan wheels as forged and lightweight. I hope you will find a good price on wheels, air intake, and exhaust for your car!
I have a 2017 type r, I think the Titan 7 TR10 look great on the Type R! They’re super lightweight strong wheels and meant for the track but also have the aesthetic looks.
I love where you put your phone. I've had my 2017 Si for 3 1/2 years now and I just realized that that was a good spot to keep your phone when driving about 2 weeks ago lol
Nice car. I have a 10th Gen 18 Accord 2.0T Sport 6 MT. I am picking up 18x9.5 Titan S-5 Wheels wrapped in Falken Azenis 265/35's. I highly recommend you check them out. Affordable forged wheels that look great .
sometimes i miss my 2019 Type R but then i see him "enjoying" i rough ride and remind myself i made the right choice, as a track car and weekend car it is great as a car to drive day to day it can be a bother to live with in my opinion, o yeh anyone else looking at getting a new one get it PPF'd asap the paint like paint on most Japanese cars these days is very thin (to save of weight they say) and chips heaps easy.
You're slowly making your way back home lol. I hate driving unfamiliar interstates in rain like that. I drove through Kentucky one time on I-65 and it was raining so hard you couldn't see the lanes and it was very curvy, in the middle of nowhere. But man that 8th gen makes me miss my old 09 EX-L. I should've kept that car.
I ordered the awe touring exhaust with the black tips back in early February - I think they may be in back order - won't ship till 4/1,but from what I've seen, worth the wait - 2020 black ctr
Get the acuity shift boot collar for the 9th gen. I think you should keep it since it’s how you started and use it as your daily and eventually boost it.
wow Cameron, those were some cool guys you met. That's awesome. Not ricey. I'm also sure those wheels and tires you have now are good and have a lot of life left. Perhaps get an exhaust first then maybe suspension or something? You do you!
I live in Memphis and yes our roads are rough!!! You have to go local for bbq though. One and only is an awful bbq place. You gotta go to Central or Interstate bbq.
I live in Memphis and have a black 2021 CTR, too bad I missed you coming through! But more importantly... One and Only is terrible, and a cheeseburger isn't barbecue! It's smoked pork or nothing man! Sorry you missed out :/
Yeah, I like TE37’s, but they seem to be the sponsored wheel for the Type R. I wanted something a little different, so I’m going with the Enkei TS-5’s in 18x9.5 5x120 45mm.
Get Cquartz UK for ceramic. It’s fantastic and consumer grade. I install that at work and it’s a fantastic coating! We even have finest reserve which is tough to get, but i prefer UK The shop is called Carguys in northern indiana! Id be happy to help with tips. Love the vids!
Get advan rg2 or 3 it looks good on black and I have it on my 10th gen civic. It looks sharp it matches my crystal pearl black. My color of the rg 2 is a bronze color kind of gold but I would recommend it's very lightweight it handles perfectly but it's my recommendation.
So i ordered some 19” wheels which will be delivered later this week. Can’t say what they are as i am saving it for my video reveal for my channel. But i highly recommend them😉. Drive safe my brotha!
I check in frequently and I have to say, it's amazing seeing you in the Type R you've always wanted! Big happy and jealous! xD Hope to see this thing do some pulls, but even more so on a track turning laps!
Congrats bro，I am currently an 2020 STI owner and considering to get an FK8 again if I am settle down in US，owning those JDM car is my dream，by the way，it seemed like FK8 have way better cruising experience than my STI😂😂
Super pumped to see you with this thing man, seems like it's been a long time coming! Probably gonna be my next car since I've had 3 mazdaspeeds I need something fresher
Congratulations. A INVESTMENT! Dude, you got a Type R , a head turner. I have 2020 blue Civic SI. Enjoy your journey brother. Take it easy. Be safe. 🙏💯💪😁
had no idea you had a 1st gen black tC. bought my 1st gen 09 tC release series new 12 years ago, still driving it. it's slow but a 2dr hatch w/3 pedals feels nearly extinct now. i really like the type R but i don't want a 4-door.. veloster N may get my money when i upgrade, idk. fun to watch your videos, keep it up.
bronze rims on the black Type R would set it off 🔥
Fuhshoo
Nah
I’m not going to disagree with that!
Agreed, I had an EK gen hatch black with volk TE37 Bronze, I couldn’t stop looking at it after parking it , neither could passerby’s

I’ve seen some type R owners get ahold of some NSX 19” wheels. Very very pricey, but holy crap they look good.
I have seen that too! Im going to email Titan about their wheels
Tthoes titan 7 wheels omg
Thats what Im getting
Good choice! I have the Titan 7s 10 spoke in titanium on my white R.

You should get Titans 5 wheels, they compliment they angular design of the car ...
Here in Milwaukee, it’s impossible to not swirl because of potholes. City roads are terrible
R mode stiffens up the suspension, increases throttle response and I think it makes the steering a bit more weighty than sport... Maybe more boost than sport as well

One and Only is terrible, and a cheeseburger isn't barbecue! It's smoked pork or nothing man! Sorry you missed out :/
Lol i will learn from my mistakes and never do it again! And next time brother
I literally laughed out loud at the one and only BBQ saying it was the worst. And then the text messages being read back. Lolol 🤣🤣
The shift boot collar is common on those 9th gens. Acuity makes an aluminum one that won't sag
Gratz on the black R, should do a video on proper paint correction. Drive safe!
Yeah, I like TE37’s, but they seem to be the sponsored wheel for the Type R. I wanted something a little different, so I’m going with the Enkei TS-5’s in 18x9.5 5x120 45mm.
Get Cquartz UK for ceramic. It’s fantastic and consumer grade. I install that at work and it’s a fantastic coating! We even have finest reserve which is tough to get, but i prefer UK
The shop is called Carguys in northern indiana! Id be happy to help with tips. Love the vids!
Great vid. Awaiting delivery of my 21 Reg racing blue Pearl. Greetings from the uk. Keep up the content bud
Get advan rg2 or 3 it looks good on black and I have it on my 10th gen civic. It looks sharp it matches my crystal pearl black. My color of the rg 2 is a bronze color kind of gold but I would recommend it's very lightweight it handles perfectly but it's my recommendation.
Michellen pilot sport 4s are amazing. Very little road noise and they have good grip.
So i ordered some 19” wheels which will be delivered later this week. Can’t say what they are as i am saving it for my video reveal for my channel. But i highly recommend them😉. Drive safe my brotha!
I check in frequently and I have to say, it's amazing seeing you in the Type R you've always wanted! Big happy and jealous! xD Hope to see this thing do some pulls, but even more so on a track turning laps!
Thanks! lots of good content lined up
Hey for ceramic coating you should go with Gtechniq CSL+evov4. Look up obsesses garage. I’ve learned a lot from that channel.
I own a rebuilt title 2014 civic si. Best car I've owned
Congrats bro，I am currently an 2020 STI owner and considering to get an FK8 again if I am settle down in US，owning those JDM car is my dream，by the way，it seemed like FK8 have way better cruising experience than my STI😂😂
I am beyond excited for you getting your type R brother!! You deserve it so much!! I can’t wait for the incredible content!! Travel safe my friend!!
Put "type r" in all the video names, so that the people searching find them for sure
Crap! i thoughy I did! Thanks Audrey
Avid1 AV6 wheels would fit that so well!! I'm running them on my hatch. 18x9.5 +38 gloss black
Rear windshield wipers are on the right stick halfway in, twist up and down.
Rear wipers are pointless.
Super pumped to see you with this thing man, seems like it's been a long time coming! Probably gonna be my next car since I've had 3 mazdaspeeds I need something fresher
Thank you. the MS3s are nice, but go find a used R to test drive!
I have VMR v705 18x9.5 +33 with 255/40/18 on stock suspension no issues for the past 3 yrs
Congratulations. A INVESTMENT! Dude, you got a Type R , a head turner. I have 2020 blue Civic SI. Enjoy your journey brother. Take it easy. Be safe. 🙏💯💪😁
had no idea you had a 1st gen black tC. bought my 1st gen 09 tC release series new 12 years ago, still driving it. it's slow but a 2dr hatch w/3 pedals feels nearly extinct now. i really like the type R but i don't want a 4-door.. veloster N may get my money when i upgrade, idk. fun to watch your videos, keep it up.
as a pretty loyal follower I'm saying the titan7 wheels for type r have ti be top 3 best looking!!
Thank you, Carson. A lot of people have said to go with those as well. Im going to give them a hard look
Titan-7 forged wheels are way too good of a bargain ($2k) and the T-S5 looks great.
Everytime I get a new, fast car, it rains....And it's awesome you got your dream car. Some twisty backroad vids would be nice.
