I am so glad that I can share my friend Nick's 2024 Honda Civic Type R with you. The mods that he has done already has me wanting to make some changes to mine! Make sure to let Nick know if you are digging what he has sone to his FL5. I promise he can handle any constructive criticism. As always thank you for tuning in!
I didn’t know Joe could make me love my car more, yet here we are. The pressure to impress in a round 2 is a serious goal. Thank you Joe for giving my car the screen time, with so many amazing choices out there.
Love the upgrades Nick has put into this thing. Personalization without going over the top, refined, mechanical improvements that make sense, either enhancing appearance or improving performance. Nice ride!
Watching Joe’s reviews on Type R’s not only convinced to pull the trigger on one, but also to make it my first ever manual. Got it for Father’s Day and I haven’t looked back. I’m having the time of my life rowing through that 6-speed.!
Joe first of all…Congratulations on 1.2 million subs and climbing! Nice to see one of the positive You Tubers doing so well for himself and his family! Nick’s styling taste doesn’t jive with mine BUT it obviously makes him smile daily so honestly that’s all that matters. For my FK8 tune I also went initially with John Vega at Phearable(Stage 2) and was very pleased with his off the shelf tune. Cameron Hill even commented on his channel about the tune seeming to enhance the shifting points/revs not just while stationary but throughout the driving experience. John Vega really knows his way around Hondas and lucky you Joe…he’s located in Florida! My Custom Tune after going FBO wasn’t as impactful perhaps because I was doing it in stages and had yet to swap out the stock exhaust,downpipe etc. I went with the 27Won KURO Turbo,Intercooler,Hondata Fuel System,Koyorad radiator, etc. which was nice but next time I think I’d go with the Mitsubishi Stage 2 Turbo since they manufacture all of the CTR turbos as well as thousands of others. You’re also quite fortunate to be able to mimic if you wish the Acura Type S mods done by that Honda/Acura shop in Florida as well. I believe it’s around 540hp which is absolute Crazy Talk! So to answer your question in a very roundabout way…Yes the CTR has a proven engine/platform and is an excellent choice if you/anyone wants a reliable modded import…😁👍
Another awesome Raiti video, love the background information on each car before diving in. Really sets the stage for the review nicely, like a fine appetizer before a hearty meal.
I did a no no x 7.😆I put the red Honda emblem on the front, the back the steering wheel and all four wheel caps.😂 I almost forgot, I even put the type R engine cover over my 1.5 turbo!🤣
The FL5 in general is a great car, they really stepped it up. I honestly would give the FL5 a 9/10 only because they should have made it a little more DD in terms of comfier suspensions, gas less cap, moon roof & the heated seats!! Like come on!! How do you not have heated seats!!! 😭
Short answer. NO At the end of the day for me anything is better than that dead numb exhaust from the FL5 and at 10-20k more than the stock EN. Hard pass for me.
Until you accept that Hyundai has made the same performance for less money you will be confused. I was on a test drive and Type R didn't give me anything more than the EN DST 2024
The Honda Civic is super popular too! It's known for being reliable, fuel-efficient, and fun to drive. Plus, it has a stylish design and a comfy interior. There are also a bunch of different trims and features, so you can pick one that fits your style and needs.
I loved the video camera angle on this review. The camera angle was spot on and I actually mimicked myself rowing my own gears up and down as if I was in driving in my own car.
A beautiful engine like this one doesn't need a cover ! Smart that the owner had some of the mods done by professionals, lots of people do vehicle mods at home that are over their experience level and they end up the mods make the vehicle look bad or simply don't work for that vehicle. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to Joe, Lori and Steven and to all here !
I was looking to get one but every dealer around wants more than sticker. Making this car far less attractive compared to the EN. Even that’s significantly cheaper sticker vs sticker. All that money could easily be dumped into mods.
Make it 3 door and it’s a True TR. The car is a killer as it is but no one has said “I’ve put my baby in the backseat to go to the track” Same goes to the GR Rolla
The one thing that i hate so much about the R is .. stoped it shows your in N .. stopped if you go into 1st . It’s a blank screen . Like show I’m in 1st .. that’s only zonk for me . Aka zonk means something totally different in the Army 😂
@ nice car man. Never heard of phearable. Seems like it’s a good tune. Would like to see the dyno vid in the future. Had an fk8. Might jump into an FL5 in a year
Lol, performance per dollar they're similar get used to it. Get outta here with that snobby mindset thinking your car is superior when it's not. EN already has proven it can do the things as good if not better than a type R does with less power, less refinement, skinnier tires, less sticky tires in stock form... Community alone is why I wouldn't own a type R you guys are just unbearable
Too many colors. Championship white, gloss black hood, red calipers, bronze wheels. Aesthetically, it just looks indecisive and confusing. Stock hood and black wheels would fix it. And that center console...WTF?
Hands down the Elantra N is better because of the mark up! 50k for 320 hp when you can buy a N for 37k and do a ECU tune for 1,400 and still be under 40k pushing 320-340hp. lol. If the type R was sold for its actual price I would agree. But nobody is paying MSRP for one.

its awesome fun this car
row row row your gears gently down the street!
Nice information about Nick’s Civic Type R FL5 and Enkei rims looked good. He should add the front lip on his Type arm to look aggressively. 😁👍

Looking forward to seeing what mods you make to yours, Joe.
Thanks David! I know you will stay tuned!
Nick's FL5 is 🔥. Love the center console customization. ❤️ another awesome review Joe. 👍💯 more power. Merry Christmas
Love this car! Great job to Nick modifying this typeR, looks amazing
Lots of solid name brand mods I've heard of. Good power without changing the Turbo.
The FL5 is a great car straight out of the box - and a perfect platform for mods. Go Joe!
this is THE car for modding... my dream car hoping to buy by next summer as my graduation present!
You better believe it is
I love my 2025 fl5 perfect.
Front wheel drive isn't perfect
@ it’s not for everyone. I enjoy driving it in a nice sunny day. Not my daily car.
Great looking Type R with some excellent upgrades. Can't wait till the day I can get mine.
looks hideous with this black hood. Don't understand people putting a slab of black hood onto a car thats has a way different colour. disgusting
It's really terrible. The owner has very questionable aesthetic taste.
lol
I did a no no x 7.😆I put the red Honda emblem on the front, the back the steering wheel and all four wheel caps.😂 I almost forgot, I even put the type R engine cover over my 1.5 turbo!🤣
Im not feeling the gloss black hood. it looks tacky.
The Tokyo ghoul pattern is awesome
Very tasteful!
Get ready for 2025-26 we might see the Yellow FL5 LE & The Yellow Integra Type S/HRC
I always said these cars look fun to drive
You better believe it and you are so very right!
I would just leave it bone stock. It will hold its value significantly better.
The FL5 in general is a great car, they really stepped it up. I honestly would give the FL5 a 9/10 only because they should have made it a little more DD in terms of comfier suspensions, gas less cap, moon roof & the heated seats!! Like come on!! How do you not have heated seats!!! 😭
8/10. Should be rwd for its size.
Honda better than a Temu car? Yes
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍
work for honda
Nick’s Honda Civic Type R Isn’t That Bad👍🏻👌🏻🏁🚗💨!!!
Short answer. NO
At the end of the day for me anything is better than that dead numb exhaust from the FL5 and at 10-20k more than the stock EN.
Hard pass for me.
Is the new civic type R a fake hatchback? It's a lift back. Mazda makes the best looking hatchback.
Great video as always, if you ever come down to South FL, ill let you test out my modified Elantra N 24;)
imo if ur gonna go with a different exhaust, just put a straight pipe right through
Very cool car Raiti's 💪👍
I am so glad that I could share it with you!
Until you accept that Hyundai has made the same performance for less money you will be confused. I was on a test drive and Type R didn't give me anything more than the EN DST 2024
I have a '24 Integra Type S... this gives me some ideas as well so thank you!
Years almost over and still no civic Si review😢 cool FL5 tho
That's clean, I really like the rims.
I'd personally wait for the N TCR Edition, and put the extra money into that.
Your honest opinion, this or the GR?
22:30 But doesn't the Type-R have the Red strip lights on the door??
Yes and red lights under the dash that show on the carpet
Thanx for doing tuner’s cars
I love how the EN is always compared to the Type R at 10 grand less money.
Well they are both in the same class of compact performance car
What would be a better comparison?
Idk about the hood. I feel like it wants to resemble a carbon fiber hood, but it's just a wrap. Id wrap the roof before wrapping any other body panel
The Honda Civic is super popular too! It's known for being reliable, fuel-efficient, and fun to drive. Plus, it has a stylish design and a comfy interior. There are also a bunch of different trims and features, so you can pick one that fits your style and needs.
Weird sales pitch...

@@anthonyscott5484 I own an FL5. I highly doubt @DominionAnako-bb7ry does. It seems like more of a bot.
Hey Joe Its Mo this is a good path to try checking out modded cars
Car looks great!
Honda's are way better than Any Hyundais
It's not even close ‼️
Not anymore

The mods on this car are very simple and fully within the capabilities of the average DIYer.
Thanks for reviewing something different !
You are so very welcome!
This is nice 😊

I know this mf did not just compare a type r to a hyndai!!!!😂😂😂😂

The car guesses your gear based on speed and RPM, it's not a sensor for what gear you are in
@ for a 50k car it should tell you
Which tune? Hondata or K tuner?
Phearable Stage 2 Tune
@ nice car man. Never heard of phearable. Seems like it’s a good tune. Would like to see the dyno vid in the future. Had an fk8. Might jump into an FL5 in a year
Type R is much better
I totally agree with you!
Not 10k better.
😅❤ I love it Joe I have a Honda myself 🎉
Awesome
I’m so glad that you think so!
@ yes sir
@@Wardellward487you are the best
@ 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Is this on flex fuel to achieve 400whp? I’m about 360 whp on 93 octane.
honda is 1000x times better
YES, track day twinkies for the win, lol
Gotta have them
Sounds much better
So much pumped in fake audio 👎
for all year round performance i had to go with the GRC over this
i admti the civic type R modified looks better modified than stock
Nick did a great job with jis
I tinted that car!
Coolest car 🚘ever
I want it now 😊🎉❤if I buy one can you teach me how to modify
I’m so glad that I can share this one with you
that is a pretty sound.
Is this like Mexican built? Lmao I don’t think they put those wheels on type r in Japan lmao
Looking to get a FL5 and get into Raiti’s Tampa Bay FL5 club
Elantra N's factory exhaust notes beats Type R's entire existence
Dramatic and comical, but incorrect.
The biggest issue with the N is that is really a poor looking design.
@@douglaskrueger357I agree it's on the ugly side.
@@douglaskrueger357ctr biggest problem is its slow for the money
@@davothegreat9990 compared to what?
This civic is one of the best of all time in world car history . Classic car
Nice try diddy
Awesome looking car
I totally agree with you!
Type r sounds like shit regardless of any exhaust
Damn if you're going to review a modified CTR. At least review a nice one. 400hp in his dreams lmfao 🤣
Type R enthusiasts would be mad comparing it to Elantra N lol 😅😅
Lol, performance per dollar they're similar get used to it. Get outta here with that snobby mindset thinking your car is superior when it's not. EN already has proven it can do the things as good if not better than a type R does with less power, less refinement, skinnier tires, less sticky tires in stock form... Community alone is why I wouldn't own a type R you guys are just unbearable
@@anthonyscott5484En are fast cars. Even stock for stock, ctr isn't even that much quicker.
I want this car for fun.🤩
Tastefully done mods by Nick, I think this is about the way I would want my Type R done.
Watching this Type R in my 2025 FL5 Champtionship White Type R.
Please don't change your hood colour to black..😂😂
Please dont make me get one if these lol. Wife may kill me...well unless a rearfacing baby seat fits easily.
A 6foot male fits in the rear comfortably. The baby seat fits with ease!
The wheels,great colour,beautiful design.Super car,wouldn't mind a drive.🇦🇺🙅🏼♂️
No mods in my world are allowed! Just kidding!
You’re hilarious Jonathan
Too many colors. Championship white, gloss black hood, red calipers, bronze wheels. Aesthetically, it just looks indecisive and confusing. Stock hood and black wheels would fix it.
And that center console...WTF?
I Used To Own a 1996 Acura NSX And This CTR Has The Same Track Handling As The NSX For Being Front Engine Front Wheel Drive Very Impressive
black hood made it uglier
🤎
11:44 anime lol plz tell me he’s lk 19 years old
They riced out this type r lol
Cool.
I’m glad that you think so
I don't love the black hood. Or the aftermarket wheels
Which wheels would you go with?
@@RaitisRidesstock
@@RaitisRidesSomething black.

I got your favorite car right here modified tastefully! This is the best car to modify ua-cam.com/users/shortsqOlvAXXLTxY?si=Zem4Uf8mhXGT8lc9
Dumb question... No other car has more parts available in the aftermarket than a civic
Doesnt look good at all...that hood 😕
That hood looks stupid
The tinted windows look illegal, but I don't live in Florida.
Hands down the Elantra N is better because of the mark up! 50k for 320 hp when you can buy a N for 37k and do a ECU tune for 1,400 and still be under 40k pushing 320-340hp. lol. If the type R was sold for its actual price I would agree. But nobody is paying MSRP for one.
The type r is too boxy for me.
fk8 rules
And Faster Than a Hyundai Elantra N
You can say that again
@RaitisRides it's Correct Brother, Honda Civic Faster Than Hyundai Elantra
Yeah for 10k more you would expect it to be faster!
Lol *BARELY*
More honda propaganda
Stop it man lol u trollin too much
That looks like straight up garbage 😭😭😭
When i see joe with a civic review i click right away! Raitis Ride is the reason i got my civic a while back! 🫡🙏🏽
