MEET TOM'S ULTRA RARE £45,000 FD2 CIVIC TYPE R!!

No one should ever underestimate this particular model of honda, even when stock with 220hp it's general set up and suspension the way it drives on any circuit could make alot of cars with more than 100hp more than itself look overrated honestly real talk it's that good. They are exceptional

Looks fun to drive with a good level of power.

I'm a dc5r owner. My dream is to build something like this with proper parts. Keeping it n/a.

fck me ricky march looks good where u are lol

Does the dc5 use a RBC intake?

Superb video Tom, absolute credit to you and BHP. love the look of it and it sounds unreal. Watched the video 3 times and you can see your passion for your car shining through man. Honestly can't wait to see the car 🙌 all the best buddy ❤️

What a car! Although all that money spent on mostly looks and near zero performance gains is definitely not my thing, with just half of that spent on power gains instead could have a fully build K24 in there with well over 300 hp...

lovely car but please put the correct size plate on the rear

Nice car

FD2 TYPE R are so rare in EU, you rather see them more in Asia and North America..

270HP NA as a daily, FD2R are the best civic type r ever. Love from Malaysia☺️

Really nice example and looks like a proper laugh to drive. Had an EP3 back in the day which was hilarious so this must be riotous.. When did we start using “fenders” instead of “wings”?

45k for a no turbo honda with 'scene' bits... lol

Just as an FYI these have identical gear ratios to fn2. Which is same as ep3 but with a 5.1fd instead of 4.7. I looked at 2 of these a few years ago to buy and I love the look of them. I've had 3 dc2s and 2 dc5s for comparison. My biggest issue was how much they were. 15k for a 210hp ( on uk fuel ) civic. In the end I opted for a supercharged fn2 instead for almost half the money and spent out on brakes,dif,suspension, wheels and a good few other things for still less money. Dont get me wrong I do love fd2s it's just a shame they are so expensive. I wanted a supercharged one but at 20k+ even 5 years ago I just couldn't warrant the money.

That car will never die, unreal engines.

Nothing like an NA build in my eyes 👍👌

This chap is a walking living advert for Feel's, I hope he has shares in the company😂. Car looks ok, but then I'm not a JDM fan

Had a DC5, was powerful enough for UK roads, best car I've ever owned. Would love one of these though, I miss that K series induction howl.

Finally a genuine Vtec fan, what a beautiful example of this model.

Best build I’ve seen!

Stunning car, you can't beat the sound of vtech

Absolutely love the car. FD2 is definitely something rare that you won’t see much at all! FN2 Champ white edition here and opted for the FD2 RRC inlet manifold on mine to help with power along with other parts. But the vtec revving all the way up to 8.6k on mine is just heaven. Enough power on the road and as you both said, very usable power!

It’s a four door FN2 not instead of. The FN2 Euro was still released in Japan so imo this was just the four door variant.

Granted this was a Japanese design.

The back looks so nice in the picture

WOW.. I miss that high revving N/A induction roar from the vetec especially with an open cone filter.. takes me back to 2005.. 😊

Love me some good K20 content😍 FD2 was just made perfect!

Got a fairly stock manual e91 325i and always been dreaming about this particular civic after trying an S2k.... Remap the n53 engine to 270ish HP and give it some nice coilovers & LSD or get one of these hand built sweeeeet civic imports in ANY configuration.... Very different philosophies... Father of 2 here soeaking... Dilemmas ❤ dilemmas 😅

Pretty cool to come across an owner like this that geeks out about every detail on their car. Learned something new about the chassis differences so that's cool. Nice content as always!

This FD2 is gorgeous - sounds beautiful, more smiles per hour than any 1xxx bhp car and the confidence on the b-roads 🤫

dayummm im Feeling this honda x

Seen this down at BHP when I was collecting my R36, Andy was saying a fair amount of coin has been spent on it. Lovely lovely car 👌

Literally jizzed my pants today when I saw this! Was in the black evo

How does it feels?

ive got some bad boy b roads id love to get at in this ooooffft what a beaut, defo a all weekend job down donington

This car can be described with one word BALANCE, many people doing crazy builds with 800 hp and more but then who has de guts to drive them fast at the track? No one because they are undrivable.. just straight line performance, which is good if you are aiming for drag races.

People these days asks you how much hp your car has and if you say between 250-300 it's like beh, it's ok... but that hp with a lightweight car and a well round balanced car can make suffer many 600 hp cars at the track....

This is my dream build too

it was released in singapore too

He knows his machine inside out 👍

That looks soooo evil.

Feels good 😂😂

What diffuser is that?

乗るたびに心踊る車ですよね♪😊
日本製タイプRのファイナルモデルでホンダエンジニアもそれぞれの想いを込めて仕上げた車となっております♪求めていたのは、まさにコレですよね♪

Loads of amazing FD2 Type R's here in Singapore. Most kept their stock spoilers but added body kits and carbon bonnets, still real clean builds tho. However they cost an avg of 120k to 150k here on the market

outro song title?

Body kit is a shocker get rid of the stickers love type r 's that stuff ruins them

Тачка отличная! Но английский я не понимаю, почитал коменты с переводом.

筑波サーキット仕様😊

You can't beat raw NA vtec power in honda.. that vtec noise is so addictive!! If you see the front of one of these in your rear view mirror.. you just know you gotta move over and let it pass..

Hi what’s the rims offset?
