I can concur- I had a ‘92 Vtec Civic I really wanted to not like (was a last minute sale) and man!! That 2dr would just drive and drive and thrive through the corners!!
The high end vehicles are so polished there's not a lot for the driver to do other than not make mistakes. Raw ass cars from the 90s and early 00s without all the refinements and the driver becomes important again!
that split shot of rear cam and car behind watching your lines, sooo sick. i'd love to see more of that when applicable. obligatory VTEC KICKED IN BRO 😀
The sound of VTEC is wonderful. Honda's VTEC engine is good. The K20A engine was hand-assembled, which is unthinkable today, and no thought was given to profitability. If it were a high-class sports car like Ferrari or Lamborghini, it would be understandable that the engine was assembled by hand, but it was Honda's engine. It is the engine of Honda's engineers' willpower, and I hope they will take good care of it.
Nice. Good that it turned out to be a 90+% dry lap after all. Didn't notice the double cam (Civic Type R POV) until the end, then rewatched the whole thing from the 2nd perspective. Interesting to see the differences.. Integra looked slightly faster in the "slower" corners, due to semis and more aggressive diff probably, Civic seemed more stable / planted in the higher speed sections. 9:09 ABS check 😀
@mgcharoudin it seemed like the front end was a bit too sharp to your liking maybe? Would you change the toe slightly to calm the steering bite a little if it was your car? And this with Vulcan Alpha aero would be a really fun and interesting project track day car!
yes, but fd2 remained hydraulic steer. The fd2r was very well tuned with the dbw though, it barely felt any different than normal. the engineers did on purpose. @@possibly8180

@@_fwd_racecar_ Interesting, the FN2 can do 145mph eventually with only 200hp, this DC5 has 260hp and is lighter so I don’t see why it can’t hit 150mph?
love the extra camera angle from the FK guy! the way misha is throwing the DC5 around and that backside jumping all over the place sometimes insanely fun to watch!!!
AHHHH I miss my 97 Prelude so much after watching this. As others have said the split shot was so cool to see... you really get a sense of how much the car is moving around.
I love modern turbo engines, but there's something about a high revving NA motor that makes my gin fizz. Fantastic! I don't think the DC5-R ever got the props it deserved.
One of my favourite laps! Screaming at 7k+ for 99% of it. Spot on mods on ine of my favourite Hondas, and chilled owner totally committed to the cause. Thank you!
Misha, i really enjoy the feet cam, sometimes i rewatched your videos focusing on pedalwork. It Will be great if you could continue doing this view in other videos. Миша, ракурс на педали был одним из моих любимых в твоих видео, это отдельное удовольствие наблюдать за профессиональной работой педалями. Было бы очень круто в новых видео добавлять этот ракурс.
Oh! My good I’m crying, what a beautiful lap, and very nice camera angle, Goog bless you misha, beautiful driving, thanks for giving us this beautiful race
Awesome lap in the DC5. Being a DC5 owner and track day enthusiast, I am very very impressed on how well you dealt with the off-throttle snap oversteer. Credit also goes to the build. A lot of set-ups are out there, but to tune the suspension for high speed, hard braking....man!
This dc5 is insane!!.. i just loved how it would rocket from 130- 180 in a heartbeat!!....wish you had a gps speedo on here... i think this topped easily 240kph
WOW! Such a good lap. Great to watch you are battling with fk8. K20 revs wonderful, sound of the car is amazing. The drive…. I can find no word to describe this driving. Just dancing on the limit. Thank you.
Foot work is so satisfying and educational for me as I always wonder how you did that and having an insight into your footwork is so helpful. So please don't get rid of it 🙏
Awesome!! Feels good to know 9k no problem! I’m always uneasy around 9k but this is reassuring. Wow! Not sure the driver difference skill levels and how much CTR driver was pushing etc but that’s awesome that it appeared the DC5R definitely can give the FK8r some rubs! Boost is cool but something about NA that always intrigued me and tugged at my heart strings, K20A is a specimen!
Wow amazing run Misha. I would have to say the rear cam and Type R follow cam has to be the best cam combo I’ve seen. Being able to see how the DC5 handles from behind it is very satisfying and informative. 10/10 :)
Great vid. Reminds me of ring trips either the boys in our DC5’s back in 2005 -2007. Have been there in my FD2 , FK2 and FK8 too. ❤️ Honda ! Now in an M2 competition
Fantastic drive, with a lovely Teg, and the owner seems a great lad too. Very pleased to see him just watching and learning, without holding a f**king phone up recording a wobbly video for his gimpstagram, like most of the melons his age. 100% respect to you sir.
Being able to watch and see how Misha drives the car and also drives the car on the ring was really interesting and gives me the confidence to push the car even more!
@@timreynolds.dc5 Absolutely ! I would love to have been in your position, and have Misha drive my M2 around there. It was a really good handling car you have, and it must be a real blast seeing what it is capable of.
Misha whenever you drive a Type R i can see that you are most passionate about it and also i can see why the rev range comes in handy and why Honda engineered the cars meant for tracks like these.....
Misha, I love the foot cam because I'm trying to get better as a driver. I certainly don't want to compromise your safety, though. The rear cam is interesting also, but typically I go back and look at what you're doing with your feet during difficult corners when you seem so calm full sending corners I would be nervous in. I'm not great at left foot braking yet and this is a particular focus of interest for me.
Definitely like the rear view camera better than the foot cam. Especially with the battles. A cool idea would be to setup some other equally paired cars to do some battles with. Safely of course.
that following car chase cam is really cool, i'd love to see that view even bigger in future videos. it felt like playing a videogame with the camera behind the car :)
Mega Lap! I definitely had the best seat in the house doing my absolute best to keep up! Not a bad attempt for my 5th ever lap 🤣 awesome video Misha
Shame Alex let the renault boys down by being gapped like that :(
Looks like you had a great time playing chase!
Free lesson, very nice for 5th lap.
You have some skills for it being your 5th lap
So elite skills for your 5th time, damn.
It's funny how Misha drives all sorts of high end vehicles, but he LOVES driving Hondas. He gets giddy.
They are nowhere near the fastest but man, they are emotional, raw, and fun!

And the foot cam too, especially on the clutch shift cars like this. Cheers this was a great watch.
The honda videos are my favorites. And i'm not even a huge honda guy, but man those cars have something
Absolutely.. Those type r hondas are really made with love since they are all so amazing
Hondas may not be the fastest but they're rewarding. Even my DD just has a feel when you take a few turns, always coming back for more.

Good to see my old teg lapping how it should be! Proper good video! What a lap!
Should have never sold it 😂 at least I still get to work on it 😂
do you know what is done to the engine ? it performs really well
What a great lap, the sound of the K20 and the speed of that chassis is just such an amazing set up.
Adding the footage from the other car was a cool idea. Always love the Honda laps.
The sound of VTEC is wonderful.

NO ! That's MY brother's car.😂
I love DC5's.
The last hondas with fast responding cable throttles and that super high revbing vtec fun.
Did they switch to drive-by-wire on the FN2/FD2 onwards?
yes, but fd2 remained hydraulic steer.
The fd2r was very well tuned with the dbw though, it barely felt any different than normal.
the engineers did on purpose.

VTEC!
Cool to see when your driving a Honda you really seem to enjoy it, especially with a VTEC screamer like this 💪🏻😎

That DC5 was brought to brink of slippin'n'slidin, he drove the sheet out of that thing. bravo.
Love the DC5. So Underrated.
Epic video. This gives me goosebumps.
I was surprised how well DC5s handle, after I picked up a cheap one. I went back to stock suspension and still great and that's with no name tyres.

That's a double Type-R banger! Absolutely loved the ride. Great skills there Misha and great cars. 👍
Hondas never disappoint 👍
I watched it twice, loved how u blended in the 3rd cam from ep5 to fk8! Be nice to see it from the start with the fk8 cam all the way through ❤
Really enjoyed this,watched it twice,second time with my nephew as he loves Honda's. Great lap,what a car

It took me 11 minutes and into the yellow flags until I saw the FK8 point of view! Great idea and what a awesome car that dc5 is
How on earth do you not own a Honda yet Misha!? Would be such a cool project for the company aswell, with insane aero.
i love seeing misha having so much fun, laughing and enjoying laps.
Lovely close ratios in the gearbox, great gearbox well matched to the engine.
That was super exciting lap and the car was perfect
always loved the footcam, seeing how and when you heel n toe as well as left foot braking is very informative, it will be missed o7
Anyone else notice Micha's biceps working overtime? 😅
What a rush! Fantastic lap!
Awesome video! I do miss the foot camera because I learn much more about driving (Heel-Toe, Left Foot Breaking etc).
The in gear acceleration of this k20 is amazing
Awesome camera setup in this
with all the camera angles and the civic attacking from behind, it gave me best motoring touge battle vibes.
WHAT a K wow! The torq looks mean but so controlled! The diff is really good grips like its on all 4's!
I would say maybe the best video so far...and the car looks amazing. Congratulations to both
