@@TheFatSandwhich not sure but I was certainly taking it riiiight to the limiter. Most old Hondas I’ve driven drop out. It’s only the newer k20 6 speed ones that don’t
У нас этот Type R назвали "кепкой"😄 Звук под мостом на 4:55 просто волшебный, да и машина сама очень классная и ощущается настоящей гонкой, при этом подходит для знакомства с автоспортом для новичков. Но К серия двигателей всё таки интереснее, чем B серия. Я бы мечтал прокатиться на Type R Mugen RR FD2, K20A, 240hp и 1255кг снаряженной массы.
_wow what a story, congrats to the owner👏🏼, another awesome Honda saved for the future💥great review bro_ _BTW: I think I’ve heard that “huge air intake” referred to as a __-whale penis-__ over here in Oz_ 🍆🐳
That is great it has been restored, and mods kept simple, just a whale penis intake and not much else! I would love to take that car for a good caning over the remutaka hill!
Thanks for sharing the story! delightful to see the owner take the dodgy shop to the cleaners in court and all for a great cause, to revive a legend.
Indeed!
What’s more fun? Ek9 vs K24 Jazz
k24 Jazz tbh. So much more useable power and much nicer interior
Glad to see this one saved. Very cool cars.. miss my old 98 spec.. such aggressive cross over from the b series
Oh yeah man I absolutely see why people love the b series after driing this
That VTEC sound ❤️
Oh yea

This was thoroughly enjoyable to watch. Thank you so much for this gem of a video. You face when you were driving the car says it all.
Thanks man!
Awesome car to experience first hand! And another great video! So cool to learn about the history of the car too
Thanks man and yeah awesome little cars the EK9’s are
That vtec sound is insane, it doesn’t get better than this
Haha it’s cool aye
Interesting how it drops out of vtec in 2nd gear, you'd think a type r would have ratios to keep it in the powerband. Dream car for me nonetheless.
Every EK9 I’ve seen stays well into VTEC through all the gears. I’d be suspecting a different gearbox from the standard??
@@TheFatSandwhich not sure but I was certainly taking it riiiight to the limiter. Most old Hondas I’ve driven drop out. It’s only the newer k20 6 speed ones that don’t
Yeah I agree, doesnt seem like the stock 2nd gear ratio for a type r b16 as usally 2nd gets it to 100 or just before.
Agreed, very interesting. Shouldn't have drop at all since it was driven right. Seems like the 1 > 2nd gear ratio might've been changed
Definitely different ratios to stock
Awesome video. Love the Honda content. Hopefully more dc5 content
Yeah might have a type s review on the way
Most favorite Civic Type R by far. Great video as always!
Thanks
@kiwicarlife are there any mods for a k24 cl9 auto gearbox that you can recommend?
Just get a tune, headers, exhaust and intake
Very cool🔥💪💯
Oh yess
Amazing content as always but once again too short bro'😉
Thanks man
God bless you,UA-cam honda pastor✊
Thanks man!

HAHAH yes I was literally about to say that in the video but tried to keep the vulgarity to a minimum
@@KiwiCarLife 🤣
You forget one of the best Type R's, Accord Type R CH1
CL1 is better and I’ve done that
That is great it has been restored, and mods kept simple, just a whale penis intake and not much else!
I would love to take that car for a good caning over the remutaka hill!
