Honda Motor Co. made its name selling obsessively-engineered economy cars, but that’s only part of the story. Honda dreamed of racing victory. Then they made it happen. And then they brought what they’d learned to their road cars under an iconic red “R”. Join James Pumphrey as he meets the dreamers behind the NSX-R, the Civic Type R, and the Integra that changed the world’s perception of front-wheel-drive forever. This is the hidden history of Japan’s most influential badge, Honda Type R!
Huge thanks to Carl Pulley and all the fine folks at Acura, American Honda, Honda UK, and Honda Japan, we literally couldn’t have done this without you.

Crikey, it’s the rozzers
Up to speed without James just isn’t the same. He brings a certain lightness and upbeat to the series. I’m so glad he is back!
YOu cant have James without Up To Speed, you cant have Up To Speed Without James.

My career at Honda as an engineer in the engine plant in Ohio was still my most favorite gig. I drove for the factory Honda team for a few years. We had all of the chassis and parts we could ever want, dynos and test tracks. We even had an NSX for the employees to take home for the weekends when they made quality improvement goals. Oh to be working for Soichiro's company again.
did you get a degree in engineering?
Tell us more ur job sounds like a dream
@@MrCannon117 yeah, ill be happy to read it!
What happened? I want the new mdx type s and I would rather have it built in Japan but It won't stop me.
What degree did you go in? I’m currently looking for major so I can go back to school
"The NSX Type R was a full LeBron James lighter than the regular model"
Americans will literally use anything except the metric system
😅 Yes, you right
There are two kinds of countries in the world. Those who have been to the moon, and those who use the metric system. Coincidence? I think not. 🤔
@@jgedutis Only if kids knew that NASA uses mainly Metric for their missions, including that Moon one. but it's okay, you will grow up. hopefully.
@@ashwanishahrawat4607 you basically just f**king said America is the best country.
@@ashwanishahrawat4607 There are two types of people in the world. Those who thinks going to the moon makes them the best. And those who knows NASA uses Metric in all their missions.
"it screamed like a werewolf with it's Weiner stuck in a vending machine"
Bro what 😂😂😂
Exactly what I said lmao
Truly, the world would've been a darker place without James.
I can't wait to use that in a conversation.
I read that right as he said it
I mean, they are pretty loud when that happens
Japan: Smooth as glass
Europe: Sooth as sandpaper
US : Completely fvcked like the dinosaurs
I'm sorry I couldn't hold in that laugh lmao
LMAO
hahahhahahaaaaa
i had to pause the video cause i was laughing so hard
*by dinosaurs
Center America: fvck my asteroids
Russia: made of nuked Mariana Trench
“Even when they share, they don’t share” hahaha - every JDM fans outside of Japan know lol
People think I'm joking or exaggerating when I say that the Japanese keep all the best stuff for themselves but everyone here will know that I'm serious! 😂
@@RTSRAZORBACK It was the same in the 90s with their bikes, they built amazing 250 and 400cc bikes for the domestic market that were much higher spec than the 600s the rest of the world got. we used to squeeze a few bikes in the containers bring cars back from Japan. New Zealand drives on the Left, same as Japan so JDM imports are really popular, My Father and Uncle ran a import business for 20 years, from the late 80s to early 2000s, buying Japanese 2nd hand cars in Japan and bringing them into New Zealand for the 2nd hand dealers. They were far better than the "taxi pack" ones sold new here. 80% were family cars like Corollas and Accords etc, but later, once they realised sporty cars were not only selling but made good profit, they started buying EVOs, VR4 Gallants, WRX STI's, Pulsar GTi-R's, RX-7s the odd GTR Skyline. And there was so much to choose from! You could take your pick. I bought a Nissan Pulsar GTi-R on a buying trip with my Uncle, it was one the best car ive owned, only 20,000 Km and loaded with Japanese tuning house goodies.
I'm a 47 year-old Honda fan boy who has loved the badge since I started riding motorcycles as a child. This is without exaggeration one of the best Honda documentaries I have ever seen on video or read in media. I have always truly appreciated Donut's videos, but I genuinely loved this. Thank you.
You mean Honda Fan Grandpa
"Everyone's a beginner at first" Honda is the best dad ever lol
Almost lost my life in a accord. That’s my story I’m stickin to it! The Accord is no more!
@@Eddie32780 wot
@@Eddie32780 wha?? A car accident even in a tank like a Land Cruiser etc could kill you. Accord respect 👍. I have leaned on Accords and Civics throughout my life, even when ultra broke only could afford a 1996 w/325,000 miles for $900. Drove it for years A/C cold as Dante's hell, everything worked except for back power windows. Was totaled via bitch rear ended me on her cellphone 😔. Paint was peeling off but it ran like a champ, fantastic car 👏
I wasn’t the one driving my best friend was tore the Honda in half, right at the firewall at 110 hit a palm tree on I 95. He had 13 broken bones and I left unscathed with a few abrasions and glass in my forehead.
@@Eddie32780 How the fuck did you both survive.
I had forgotten that George Washington crossed the red sea in a type r
Yep. It was to warn the British.
Dont forget discovering penicillin while doing so
It’s true i was the type R
How Could You Forget About It?! it is very important part of US history!
Lmfao
Bruh this is one of the best "educational" videos I've ever seen. The research and presentation are brilliant. What a masterpiece
"Gapplebees" lmaooo
This had me cracking up left and right. Kudos to the writers, one of your best ever.
That is not new
"life is about finding the right amount of FUUUs to give" - that's poetry
That's the right way to live
This has got to be one of the best episodes of Up to Speed Donut has ever made.
Oh for sure, donut is absolutely kicking ass
I agree! The editing is LIT!!
+1
indeed I've been dying for more honda history
I 100% agree
I hardly ever comment but I just have to second that: Hats off to the Donut crew for actually making ads interesting. They do both the viewers and the advertisers a service. Good stuff
You did an awesome job with this. As a diehard 3rd gen Integra fan, I really enjoyed this. More Honda history videos please
This whole episode felt like the bowling alley screens after getting a strike.
DUDE THATS A PERFECT EXPLANATION
@@neonnight5228 BRO why doesn't this have more likes? There's definitely a new editor tho
This needs more likes
im proudly the 100th like of this comment
hahaha this is my favorite comment
Can we just respect donut for making their adds ACTUALLY interesting
And putting a bar at the bottom that shows how long until it ends lol
It’s called an ad, short for advertisement.
Word! These sponsors best be showing some serious love!
They’re consistently cringey and hard to watch
@@negativeindustrial then skip the damn ad, that’s why they offer the bar at the bottom 🤦
Good videos and stories like these always brings me close to tears, like genuinely. So happy to be alive to witness and be a part of history. Type R and 9K rpm may die but the spirit lives on!
LoL at Tyler1 being the "passion" in this recipe.
i see what u did there
"It screamed like a werewolf with its weiner stuck in a vending machine."
-Some car guy circa 2021
read this as he said it 💀
“So many choices ugh... I think I’ll have the chicken tenders” that had no business being that funny LOL
As a waiter and bartender this is so spot on!
This is a seriously beautiful video. It's so so professional but still so fun. Amazing job guys
PLEASE BRING BACK THIS SHOW!!!! PLEASE!!!
"screamed into everyone's hearts like a werewolf with it's weiner stuck in a vending machine"
the english language is fascinating lmao
You could speak modern Japanese to a native speaker in 1500 and they would understand each other fairly well.
People were still speaking Middle English in 1500 which is mostly undecipherable today.
It moves so quickly now it's become generational. Boomers do not talk like X'ers who do not talk like Zoomers.
James just did a Biggie Smalls quote with the "IT WAS ALL A DREAM!" I love it
@I care wtf is that link
I used to read word up magazine
I thought the same lol
It's only, the most known biggie track. Everyone recognised it.
"Salt and peppa and Heavy D up in the limousine" 🎶
holy crap the end of this video got me emotional. went from learning about honda to getting a life lesson about balance in a minute. plus the inspirational music lol
The DC2-R, the NSX-R, and the DC5-R are perfect
"more revs mean more..."
Powahhh
"Victory"
Yeahh yeahh victory
"The NSX Type R was one whole LeBron James lighter"
That's the most American thing I heard today
“Football field as distance unit” be like: someone called me I heard.
I thought americans used big macs as a weight measurement 🤔
I thought lebron was a Chinese communist though.
American here, yes I weigh about 1 half of a lebron James and am as tall as two yards on a football feild
@@arcadiagreen150 lol China and black people don’t mix, many are indoctrinated to think blacks are inferior and thugs. So I don’t see how that partnership would be a thing. I mean they love basketball but very few black people.
I have a 2005 RSX type-s fully converted to a Type-R, except the RHD clip. Full interior, motor/transmission, suspension, wheels, you name it. Its color is nighthawk black pearl. It’s at the performance shop now and then paint shop after. Can’t wait to get it back, love my Honda.
James is a seriously funny dude. I subscribed to Donut after watching a random video starring James and Nolan. Nolan's straight approach paired with James' personality had me sold immediately.
man Ryan’s editing style is so identifiable, it’s so iconic like a Tarantino film.
Got feet?
Yea, I bet James dies when he sees the video after the editing is done 😆 🤣 😂
Yeah only it's completely shit.
If your front end wasn't JDM, you weren't fast! 😎
For real though the editing is head and shoulders above 99% of UA-cam channels.
"VTEC *BAAAAAAAAAAAA-"*
-James 2018, 2019, 2020, *AND* 2021
y e s
James, u nailed this up to speed, ur usually really good but u really took it to a new level this episode! Loved it!
My Honda knowledge is quite limited so I found this very informative and interesting. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of this topic.
“It ain’t a tight car if it ain’t a Type R”
Who remembers this?☝️
Bro that’s not how it goes.
@@Patrick94GSR close enough 🤷♀️
"Without racing, there is no honda!"
-Soichiro Honda
They really did shat on his legacy and logic
I respect that man and his passion for his brand.
@@arfuzzaman but they're leaving with a bang
@@KennyThaSharp what are you talking about, Honda is very much still in motorsport
They should maybe win some races then, eh? LOL.
I love it when you guys do these types of videos.
One of the best videos on this channel... Excellent.
Fun fact, Initial D's logo is also inspired by the Type R badge.
nice
Cool vibrations.
wow i never realized that
Never know that cool
Cool
That ending about balancing passion and reason is 10 /10 inspirational !
James is straight up a philosopher with this quote. "Life then is about finding the right amount of f***s to give. It's not easy, but when you nail it everyone takes notice."
“Even when they share they dont share” 😭😭😭😂
True! If they had sold the 07 Accord wagon here I'd trade in my sedan...scratch that I'd keep the sedan and cop the wagon😝
That was my favorite part fo the video😂
I died when he said "eVeN wHeN tHeY sHaRe ThEy DoNt ShArE" 😂🤣
The Passion James Puts in this Video is unreal. Love it
I love all of your videos. I'm pretty new to Donut media and have become a big fan. Keep up the great work.
“Life then is about finding the right amount of f***s to give” damn that hit me
hard same brother
Gotta love James’ energy. He put donut on the radar in this house
To be honest, it’s that energy he brings unmatched energy and I see too many people try to mimic it
@@dracovaughan8506 Yes especially the bearded guy from fitment industries
Perfect hype to counter the less-hype workdays :')
You make videos on a whole new level :) awesome video!!
This is so cool I'm glad people make stuff like this

Vin diesel saying "its family" randomly throughout the video is the funniest thing i heard today
The production in these videos are A+
The ads in these videos are A+
Donut media is A+
Mannn, you're a good teacher! This was entertaining And informative! 🤯
Lightness is always better
Dodge: “is that a new language? I don’t understand”
More Power = More better
-Sir Dodge
There’s no replacement for displacement
@@macdurden412 there is, it’s called a turbo.
Put a turbo on a Dodge Hellcat and it's almost undrivable. Sure it goes even faster in a straight line, but makes it super hard getting back on the gas after a tight corner. Which isn't a thing that Dodge cars do well to begin with. It's a big lead sled, while a lightweight turbocharged car can spank the shit out of a Dodge.
@@EmilyRose900 You do understand that a supercharger is just a less efficient turbo with no spool up time?
“Who said you have to sacrifice quality for reasonable prices” eBay did...eBay
because ebay isnt japanese
LMAO facts
8:08 2021 James looks so much healthier and even younger than 2018 James. It's amazing what taking better care of your health can do. Keep on Keeping on my dude!
i love you guys so much, i really want to learn more about cars and you make it so fun
The Donut boys have really hit their stride. This feels like *more* than a UA-cam video like you're watching a proper TV show. Also, James you're a living legend
"ITS FAMILY" if Honda uses that in their ad they sell record numbers
With vin right????
If not im not gonna buy it!!
vin diesel included package lol
vin has to be in the ad opening his arms.
@@dvtc8u yeeeep
Everytime I watch an episode I end up looking up used cars in my area lmao. Haven't ever been able to pull the trigger but you get me dreaming like I dream when I have a lotto ticket in hand before the drawing. Keep on keeping on you freaking Donuts!
One of the best “up to speed” yet 💪🏻 you guys are killing it and I can’t wait for the next stockys... maybe a Countach 🤔
*honda jingle*
“It’s family.”
Best part of the video.
i got goosebumps
"More revs equals more..."
"mopowabby"
"victory"
"oh"
I'm equally disappointed it wasn't mo powah babeh
I was deceived as well...
Unsubscribed!!!
22:09 'Screaming like a werewolf with his weiner caught in a vending machine'
I swear James takes classes on analogy making
legends. Love this episode. Thanks for this.

Sick vids dude keep on keepin us entertained!..
This video made me so emotional for the guys behind Type R. I didn't think I'd ever feel this way for something like this.

"2001 was a good year"
that's... debatable
What's that plane
😂
Compared to 2020/2021...
Ofc it was a good year i was born at 11/10 of that year
Wait some action happened a month ago
it was a Good year for cars at least
Let’s get STOCKY started
In for the Stonky salesmeme..
Ghheeyyyy
It’s already half way to their $ goal. It’s doubled since the video was released and they still have “29 days left”. They’ll be an actual product for sure in the near future.
I didn't know I needed this video in my life, but I am glad I have been graced by this glory.
Love your video keep up the good work
stocky reminds me so much of the ol' Choro-Q line, they never sized them up beyond micro-car collectibles so this is great
I owned some of those.
That, and their R/C counterparts.
The VTEC BAAAAAAAAAAAHHH at the beginning was legendary James, favorite up to speed so far keep up the up to speed grind going
The NSX b2b intro he did was legendary as well.
I love these edits man
"And America's roads...fucked by dinosaurs " sums it up pretty accurately
i didn’t realize how fucked up our roads were till i traveled out the country lmao
died, so true
Also stocky reminds me of those “Techron Cars” Chevron used to sell 😻
Happy to see Up To Speed back! What do you guys think of doing an Up To Speed on the Top Gear series? Just heard the opening theme song and it feels like enough time has gone for it to hit you it that spot of nostalgia already!! Thanks guys for all the hard work!
i drove the dc5 in gran truismo 6 and fell in love with it. its the car that made me realize fwd can be cool. im gonna be looking at an rsx soon as my first car because of it 😅
Who the f*** edited this video? Give them a raise this was beautiful 🤩
"The judge decided that wasn't your fault, bud."
The only opinion that matters.
For an increased rate, y’all should sell customizable Stocky so that we can have one of our own cars @donutmedia it would be dope
I think they are
I'm surprised they didn't make a buff horse stress ball type thing
Would like that, but definitely not gonna be easy. A stock Stocky is still good for me!
They have a primer option on their kickstarter
@Mosinlogan I’d buy it xD
What a great show. Thanks
Amazing video love this.
"Speedvision" my dude hitting hard with those nostalgia references!!!
My brain had instant flash backs as soon as he said that. Totally forgot all about it.
"More revs equals more victory."
Makes me love my Civics (non type r, RS and GLI) even more , thank you James for making me laugh so much in my garage while I watched this episode. 🚗😂
Gonna start a new job at a Honda dealership in a couple days. I've worked at luxury dealerships before, but I've never been more excited to work for a brand until Honda. A FD2 Mugen RR has always been my dream car as a child ever since I saw one on the road in Japan back in 09.
Watching this video put me in an emotional state. I love Honda Type-R vehicles and they are one of the reasons I got into cars when I was young. Especially the NSX-R. I remember driving one and wow was it amazing to experience a car like that. Till this day no other car has given me that kind of exhilaration.
Okay enough with the memories.
I’ve never fell in love with the Type R since I’m not a JDM guy, but after seeing this video I have to say, I appreciate that car more than ever. Props to Honda for having such talented engineers for making a masterpiece of a car just for us car guys!
This is literally my dream car. I cant wait to own one!!!
This video was amazing! 20/10
Ngl, that Stocky Ad with james' silhouette, the smoke, and the integra shined, was really sick
Imagine Honda bringing back the S2000 and give it the Type R treatment.
they did with the S2000 CR. Not completely given the Type R treatment tho but still it showed us to what extent they can tweak the car...
@@earlrahman_ Would still like a modern S2K though. Right now the only real options for lightweight sports car are either the miata, fiata (this is the last production year :(, or the toyobaru gr86
@@ErectileSceptile about that, there are rumors about the successor of the S2000 being launched in 2024 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the first generation.
It's gonna be equipped with a turbo engine, but since it supposed to be a 2L one the most efficient way to do that is to put the Civic Type R's into the engine bay.
With that it's sort of a RWD Civic Type R roadster...
The whole car scene will go nuts if this is the case.
@@earlrahman_ Would be great if they could find a way to rev the engine to a little over 7000, and make a decent intake sound like how the Megane RS does
In this day and age, it'll probably be an electric 🤔
So glad this is back
this may be your best video. Hits all the right beats of history, enthusiasm, and just the right amount of meme humor
