One of the best looking type r’s in my opinion, however my personal favourite would be the FK2 looks so aggressive and mechanically it’s incredible
Agree I love my fk2 but I do still look at the fn2 as a better looking car
I had a 1 owner CW for 7 years. Number 234. Loved it. Had a GP kit on it for about 500 miles and removed it. Preferred standard look (still have the the GP kit in their boxes if anyone is interested)
I had Goodyears on mine and it would rarely spin. LSD is great.
There was 2000 worldwide. 600 for UK. The white plaque is numbered out of 2000 so there is some UK cars numbered 6xx.
Great driving project car for a Civic aficionado to get this iconic car back to standard! A fun drive and cool presentation Calv, thank you very much✌
The best looking Type R ever ! 😍
Love the civys! Fantastic cars! Ep3's look dope n clean👌🏻, although the FN2 looks a bit more bulkier but I reckon personal preference it's got a better dash! 😃
Even the non LSD version is arguably the best hot hatch you can buy for £4k to £5k in terms of the overall package (performance, reliability, and aftermarket support).
Lsd is great though 🥴
weight reduction makes a huge difference with these cars.
I Chucked out rear seats, spare tire, light weight 17 inch wheels, carbon hood, and full aftermarket exhaust and all that is roughly 90kg lighter !
All the later ones have LSD
Love my FN2. Its 11 years old this year. I've owned it 9 years and has been very reliable. Brilliant engine. Think it will be a future classic.
That's so kl that you've had it that long. I have a fn2 type s coming upto my first year. and yes I can agree that the engine is great, even when you challenge the engine, it always responds great. I couldn't find a low mileage type r so just went for a low mileage type s. I hope to have it for a very long time. Reliable and good looking cars!
FN2 type S? That’s an FN1 then
Type S and R are both FN2's
I like both the ep3 and fn2 but the fn is certainly more suitable for daily driving as it has more space and is more comfortable.
Loving the content mate 🔥🙏
I’ve loved your videos, thanks for keeping me entertained.
Brilliant video mate as always 👌🏻 who doesn’t love a civic😎🔥
Got an Fn2 myself had its year’s brilliant car with loads of affordable mods - don’t take much to get more drive ability out them - you should show it some love calv
Great video as always mate 🔥🔥🔥 Just been sharing on the FB forums 🤜🤛
🙌🙏🏼
Love these videos mate 👌
EP3 was the classic hot hatch - hum drum hatchback with a screaming engine. This FN2 by Honda moved up into a slightly bigger class
Finally got my very own fn2 type R as my new daily and honestly... What a car it is, and I say that without even having pushed the car to its limits
Everyone take cover, the EP3 boys won't like it that the FN2 was quicker in Calvin's test! Haha
Exactly 😂😂 fn2 champ rulzzz
It has the GP bodykit which was an option from the factory I believe. I've got a red FN2 and the white versions certainly look better.
I agree, I too have a Milano red type s with the gp kit wrapped in white with full type r interior and styling.
ha I was tracking this on my ad alerts until it sold, to then realise on your video thumbnail you had bought it :D nice one! deffo was the cheapest champ car going when averaging at least another £2k more. great video, thanks for sharing!
Another civic, something tells me you like them 😂 great vid Calvin ❤️
16:53 OK Calv, if that makes you feel better, so be it 😂
Had a crash and my i30N was written off and picked up an FN2 for 4k. Its so much fun to drive, nothing better than bouncing off the limiter and planting your foot down. Handles superbly too! Also, it's super, super reliable too. Worth a cheap pick up if you want to have fun but have reliability!
How much mileage did it have?
@@Speedbird1 the i30N or FN2?
I actually just raced a brand new i30n Dct last night and i pulled like a car length on him.
(He had a passenger and im not stock) they sound good tho
@@thatpersiandude7386 what you running?
@@themagicmessiah372 intake, exhaust, headers, hondata and weight reduction
White is the official racing colour for Japan. Like silver is for Germany and British racing green is in the name. The more you know 🇩🇪🇯🇵🇬🇧
Lovely car, definitely going to be looking for an FN2 very soon. My old man had one new and it was ace.
I swear before covid they used to be like 3k to buy!
You can also set up the menu to show when the VTEC kicks in if you wish. Tutorials on UA-cam 😜
I did prefer my FN2 over the EP3 had a EP3 stock and a EP3 track car weapon. But yeah my mugen fn2 tuned up I loved it one of the best car I’ve ever owned along with the Astra vxr
Not long sold my Championship White.
With the FN2, if you put some good tyres, Eibach springs and a Marlin ECU on it, and you won't find a better Hot Hatch for the money.
Exactly what's on mine - lighter wheels, PS4 tyres, eibach springs and remapped with lower VTEC on ECUTEK. Its great for the money!
Rear beam axcel spoils it
@@irfaan7868 it really doesn't....
People harp on about Clarksons review of the car so much. At the same time the Magazine gave it hot hatch of the year.
The best Renaultsport Hot Hatches also never had independent rear suspension, and they do just fine 😅
I've actually owned one, gave me back ache after a short drive.
Was also a jittery ride. Its no way a worthy successor to a ep3 / type r brand
@@irfaan7868 Did yours have an LSD?
These FN2's are blowing up 👌🏻❤️
Great job calv
Any chance of a video on the RX8 Calv?
I think the light that comes on is to tell you when v-tec kicks in yo ,its in the settings cool car
Not mugen splitter. That’s what’s called the GP pack. Quite an expensive dealer option and fairly rare.
I love the rear spoiler on mine especially at night when someone is up your arse because the spoiler blocks out the headlights 👌🏻
This is actually true, mine used to steam up like a bastard at every opportunity though.
Yes Calvin I got that lsd ep3 championship white like the one you showed in the picture, I wonder what I will get for it
Kelvin your next purchase should be an
FRP puma ..
Fantastic car to drive and it’s a go kart on the road .😀and getting rarer
I’m here for the Honda content!! 🤍
Calv loves them Red Lights 😂
Had mine for 3 years. Loved it, sadly had to sell it. I miss mine, hope to own another one someday...
i had one of these for 8 years, I wanted to drive it till it died but after 150k miles and only replaced shocks, springs and clutch it just refused to give up so ended up selling it! Such a reliable car, never failed an MOT or broke down once in my whole ownership
They do look great in White, deffo the best colour for all Type R's.
Park the premier edition and the white edition up tuck them away calv both rare examples and both already massively loved in the car world there values are both rising an I think with them being special editions these could be a good investment in the not too distant future
So upset! Just bought a cheap FN2 woulda bought this instantly! Nice one calv love the type R content 🤟🏻
*Safe to say* Calvin *has made me want to own a Honda I've never heard anyone talking so positively about the brand as him* 🔥
You wouldn’t regret it had one in my 20s then went German bought another now in my late 30s never should of changed 😎 especially when you hear that vtec kick in
@@ltaper I need to get my hands on one so I can test this out will look out for them at auction 👏
I'm on my second FN2. For the money, it can't be beat. Prices are on the rise now.
That has the gp kit on calv, different rear diffuser and front splitter
Love the type r 🔥
Someone’s doing well....flashing the Rolex 😂 keep up the work
Great video, if anything it reinforced my choice on buying the J Astra GTC VXR all those years ago now, which I still have! The longest version of car I have ever owned
LOL
@@jamesg1769
Because everyone loves... A white civic type r 🌚😂 quite a tidy one too! 🤙🏻
What app website do you use to find HPI and the spec mate?
Vtec yo heaven ..👍🏾🤩
I remember seeing the FN2 vs the EP3 in a drag race on top gear following the launch and due to the increased weight and lack of additional power, the EP3 was quicker 🤷🏻♂️ the FN2 looks cool IMO but I’d rather the EP3.
It's just refine compared to the ep3.
Ep3 all the way and it has independent suspension.
That is my opinion.
ek9 the best
The FN2 was faster around the Top Gear track than the EP3 and there was never a drag race on Top Gear, only a negative review from Jeremy Clarkson even though Top Gear rated it the best hot hatch the year it came out. Also they're pretty much neck and neck in acceleration, the FN2 has a better gearbox with shorter ratios. The EP3 is more nimble and raw buts its not more planted, although the K20A in the EP3 responds better than the K20Z4 to mods due to the exhaust layout and the FN2s oil pump.
Fn2 was quicker around the too gear test track. It's a far better car than an ep3 and doesn't look like a breadvan
Fn2 is only 80kg heavier than ep3. Most of that can easily be shaved by some weight reduction.
Love the Civics Type R
I would own any civic type r in championship white they hold their money and are crowned the best colour and spec in there original country 👌🏻💪
Savage cabbage 😍 hey Calvin u hardly giving this one away to a lucky subscriber 😉
Great wee vid as per usual hail hail
Wait for Ep3 crew to show up 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What a beauty, love a type R 😎😎😎
Always told people the Ek9 would be a 20k plus classic people used to really ignore me. If only I had the money to get one when they were cheaper.
Slightly confused Calvin at 9:00 the car has 143bhp and then at 13:13 it somehow has 200bhp 😂😂
I think you like them Calvin 👍👍
You must feel that it needs a sport button otherwise the thought of “this could do with a bit more power” wouldn’t have crossed your mind 😂😂
Top legend
Tried getting a valuation on the car buying shop it gives me a valuation .but when I book an appointment .it won't give me any options or go any further.
Vvvvttttteeeeeecccccc 🤣 loved it calvin 🔥🔥
Have literally looking at these last couple of days. Cant beat a Honda type r
Great, very underated car... Love mine
I saw that the hood & the bodywork is mixed matched no matter how close or far the distance you're stood at or the angle
No dc2 integer b18 type R that's a fun car I miss mine
You need a Honda Nsx Calvin!!!!🤣🤣
That’s a box I need to to tick.
What app do you use to check cars
For the people who hasn’t drove a ep3 type R, guys you don’t know what your missing.. honestly 😍😍 amazing cars…
these new shape ones are abit heavy tbh..
ep3 all day guys
If/when I get a Type-R, first choice would be an Ep3.
drove alot of type r best in that order
Fd2
Ek9
Dc2
CL7
DC5
EP3
FN2
First accord type r
Like the fn2 but you feel the weight when braking drove my ep3 and the old man's fn2 back to back same road rather the ep3. fn2 was so stiff aswell no need for it to be like that might only be 80 odd kg but you can feel it
Fd2 for the win 4doors yet feels as small as the ek9 in the corners
@@K20SKII wow man you really do know your Hondas fair play m8.. accords type r worth serious money now m8 👊
Thing is my mate has had two ep3 a and ranted about them. Then one day I let him at my FN2 and suddenly went and sold his ep3 and got a FN2. I think the biggest thing here is many ep3 fanatics haven’t driven the FN2
She's looking loads better after a good wash
That thumbnail made me double take calv. Might want to consider moving the text a little higher 😂
🤣🤣
91 k ain't low? These engines can do 200k easy. My dad has a CRV with a k20 petrol engine - over 400 thousand miles.....90k? 09 plate, for a k20 it's just run in.
a CRV with a K20, basically an Ariel Atom aye mate
EP3 is definitely nicer than the FN2 but the EK9 would be the original Civic Type-R
What app did he use to check out the car valuation
When it comes to the world of investing,most people don't know where to start. Fortunately, great investors of the past and present can provide us with guidance
Interesting. I have a lump sum doing absolutely nothing at all in my bank account, I wanna get something started with it, any reasonable ideal?
Investing in stocks is a good idea, but good trading system will put you through many days of success.
I'm Trading with Expert Andrew Jordan, a regulated broker in US. Met him sometimes early last year at a startup funding event. He has some interesting things to say about the state of algorithm trading today. Very obviously I'm seeing the results.
Wow I know Mr Andrew Jordan. I met him at a conference in The Dome at American's Center Life 2016 where he introduced us to his business strategy, he helped me cover my Loans.
Amazing!!!... I also started trading with Andrew Jordan, He's the best at what he does with an initial investment of $2500 Canadian I made up to $8450 profit in just a week of trading with him, his strategies are mind blowing.
Ep3 is a cleaner example
I think they did a limited run of Mugen edition cars… all in Championship White 🤔
Brother in law had one from new.
eBay and wish do led mirror indicators about £20 look smart
Yeah picked up some led ones for mine for like 13quid off Alibaba
Would be interesting to see an ek9 do the 20-70 for comparison.
The EK9 is slower.
Hi calvin
Dream car
Mint video
Love this car.
I love them red lights had me in stitches 🤣
i would love a type R
Bring back the BMW content Calv 👀🤣
Nice 👌🏽
You'll get a lot of people if you put this on planet of dream's
Thats a GP kit front and rear lip, not mugen..
Gp kit mate . Fairly rare
no sport button just heavy foot needed!
FLAT OUT!!!!
Calvin on a civic hoarding spree.
Had having owned both much prefer the fn2
Swap IT for My BMW 2008 123d M-sport 3dr in White? Hondas are my thing
These shaped cars look like space ships lol
Exactly, who wouldn't want to drive a spaceship - most definitely one of the most influential and ahead of its time designs.
WOULD MY GOLF MK5 GT TDI SPORT 170 KILL THAT PLUS STAGE 1 REMAP 220BHP
😂
Calvin it’s 2022 now , 91k miles is low for 14 years, average is 142k miles .
