i absolutely love how much fun these guys are having. so entertaining to watch

To everyone hating the DC5, just like to remind you the Integra is a track focused car where as others are built for everyday roads. Yes the BMW has more power and R32 has 4wd but dont forget the weight difference. BMW and R32 are like tanks compared to the Integra

That 130i is screaming for an lsd. Turn in is incredible and even with the teggy, but as soon as it comes to accelerating out of bends it gets dominated

The 147 GTA is so surprisingly fast, I was shocked when I first drove mine. Everyone dismissed it when it was new mainly because of the lack of LSD. But fit a Q2 or Quaife and you have a serious street weapon. Alfa really did well to make a balanced and fun car that handles the power and torque well. Its a shame they used a Selespeed for this, imagine if they had a manual version!

Only here for the Type R

That GTA though

K20 the best mass produced engines of all time!

That Alfa looks soooooooo nice. I was expecting it to be rubbish on track, put apparently this was not the case.

Another lap and the 147 GTA...

I actually drove many Golfs on the race track (Nürburgring), and I was kinda surprised how good the R32 performed in this video. It is a very top heavy car that is struggling with understeer problems. Also the ESP of the Golf 5th Generation is crap! You can't turn it off, and it makes three things on a race track: 1) it regulates (brakes) to early 2) it is overheating your brakes slowly 3) It does not like curbs (it brakes) And the AWD-System is just the variant with an Haldex clutch. What it does is this: If you are cruising around the only wheels which will be driven by the engine are those in the front. If the car is noticing that the front wheels are loosing traction, it connects the rear wheels to the powertrain. The result is: Very tricky handling on the race track. You have to loose traction to get traction back. Also the AWD adds more weight to the car. The AWD just gives you more traction at: 1) the start 2) when you have tight corners (Tsukuba might be the perfect race track for AWD cars) I was also confused because the Audi has the same engine, the same ESP and the same powertrain. My suspicion is that they managed to deactivate somehow the ESP of the Golf. So the Audi is showing us the real performance. By the way: The VR6 engine of the Golf is in Germany well known for having overheating issues if you drive the car fast. Volkswagen had messed up many things back than. They let Renault took over the trackday cars. But the 7th Gen Golf is finally good again. Nevertheless you get more "bang for bucks" with a Renault RS (Clio and Megane). And notice: The BMW needs a lock differential. If it had that, it would have drove away all the other cars in the field. Too bad that BMWs don't offers lock diffs after 1996, except for the M-cars (M2, M3, M4, M5). Even for the performance models like M235i you don't get a lock differential in your dealership. You are forced to the aftermarket.

This is a new video. Have fun. The DC5 rules the race once again.

This is a real car review what we all want. Love to keep having such video for todays cars

130i M needs a diff

I'm impressed with how competitive the alfa was. I wasn't expecting much

Front wheel light weight dc5 was destroying those corners straight away was different great vid 👍

But the 130i bravely honored the second place ... held the first until the pilot missed! haha

Stick an LSD and some M3 arms and chamber adjustment on the 130i and is the complete car, it’s also a very k20 esque engine as you go rev it to get the power out of it. The noise inside is probably as good as I remember my k20 ep3’s being. I just wish I had the cash to have a k20 and my 130i, do miss the civic a lot, I’ve had 7 of them over the years.

Awesome video Miroshi! You guys have a lot of fun...honto! I have a stock 05 Type S with intake, exhaust, Stage 3 clutch and coilovers, and it's a blast driving up and down the Idyllwild mountains. (I'm thinking about adding a turbo)

Them DC5s are something special..dame it

And that is why my favourite car is the Integra Type R both the DC2 and DC5

The DC5 can still smash hot hatches with higher displacement engines with higher power output or turbos or AWD or FR or the fastest shifting double clutch system on earth. Honda really made a sports car for the track. Really a pity that Honda is known as the brand of choice for ricers with fart canons everywhere outside of Japan.

People are but hurt so badly lmfao. Don't judge by them racing each other! They're just having fun. Judge it by the attack times. Regardless, your favorite car lost. Deal with it.

It’s always a blast to see type r go crazy I love it

Interesting to see the podgy GTA outlast both R32 and S3. Classy performer. Surprised the 130i hung on to 1st place for so long, its quite a unique layout for a hatchback. Great win in the DC5. Wish Honda still had balls to makes cars like that.

Alfa with the Selespeed in "City" mode on race track ... Hmm

DC5R started in the back.and finished all the way in the front!

Very nice race , from start to finish , all of them premium cars

This race had me smiling all the way to the end gotta give props to that honda tho

thanks miroshi!

Ito noted the BMW's differential was not working. Actually 130i Sport does not come with LSD at all, which seems crazy for 190kW sporty hatch.

The inteR has noticeable better lines running in these curves than the hatchs. Thanks for the SUB miroshi

So I guess the 147 GTA is the winner of the battle ?

Cool video thx for posting.

The 147 GTA with a manual and a LSD would demolish the competition. But stock it was kind of shit. Which make it more impressive in this race.

That 130i is 🔥.definitely getting me one

DC5 has always had a reputation for being awesome on track. 2 VAG cars with boat anchors up front and an auto box are never going to be as good in tight stuff. I can't comment on the Alfa and the BMW needs a diff to reign in the power. Fun video. I enjoyed it.

Honda should really bring back the Integra to the market! Because it is such a great car!!!

The inside sound of the DC5 compared to the A3 ! 😂

Thank you Honda for all the smiles you bring into peoples life

Dc5 for life :):):):):) awesome video

What about the mazdaspeed 3 or just regular Mazda 3 hatchback?... that would of been 🔥

that laugh as he overtakes on the final straight

Wow, im surprised the S204 set down that time, in a different league!

1st time I see a JDM-Spec RHD BMW, Audi, VW and Alfa Romeo

That post hardcore music in the intro was 🔥

Type R 🙏🏼

The song at the start is Seasick while Standing Still by Staring Back

Excellent battle, inte r pulled it off at the last second! The hatchies seem to lack at cornering and corner exit acceleration it would seem and thats kinda what track/sport cars excel at

Sounds like they had a blast on this one lol

Pitty on those people who blame the drivers for the lost of their favorite car. Like the r32, vw pips are hating hattori for the lost not knowing the car in the video was an automatic version. Also peole here think that a 250+ hp car will perform the same after several race laps not considering tire wear and tire progression (as seen with the r32). And people here think that a particular car they drive is the best when they only drive it on the streets (or race on straight lines) while these car in the video were driven to their limits in extreme condition. So don't expect a car to behave the same on the streets and the track. Cheers!

All loving cars just amazing

Why did Daisuke Ito stop appearing after like 2010?

Integra R is weak at straight, but king at corners

The Honda machine dc5 is still the best fwd platform in the world , 2.0 NA 🤘🤘🤘🌻

Nice set up

I would liked to see the 147 Gta with a Lsd diff, I guess the final result would had been much better.

nice race but anyone knows the song at the grid introduction?!!

Looking at the Time Attack though the R32 is a tough competitor for the Type R. But the R32 has an excellent reputation for its class and that year is AWD.

What a video...Honda all the way.. true underdog

The BGM match the era, miss the 2000's so much. Does anyone know the artist or song? Great demonstration of cars, showing their respective pluses and minuses.

hey, does anyone know the name of the song in the beginning? Shazam can't find it, unfortunately

Lol! When the camera car gets the best timing for time attack!

everyone hating on the type r is hilarious honda have put incredible driver focus in all their cars especially type r's and they show for it by beating more expensive or "better" cars as many falsely believe. i strongly believe the type r is the strongest track focus car there and to me thats the most fun too. i dont care for luxurious cars like bmw or vw

きんちゃんがカメラカーとしてかなりいい仕事してる笑

130i driver was driving the hell out that shit✊🏾👽

Is Integra R with torsion bar in rear as Civic R of that year?

does anyone know the song playing when introducing the cars ??!!

Tsuchiya Keiichi san drove once same car which I’ve got! I’m so happy, greeting to Rising Sun from Poland

What kind of music plays in the beginning ?

I'm really trying to find out what's the song in the beginning.. lol

Do these guys have any new stuff?

yesss alfa 147 busso !! so where are the haters ?? it's a fwd gna gna gna , too much power for the chassis gna gna gna best lap with a stock gta selespeed in city mode.. put it in sport with a quaife and "buonanotte a tutti"! alfa the best

how come the corolla T-sport or ts compressor is never featured??

Alfa 147 GTA for me, any day. Rare, good looking and one of the best sounding engines out there. And its starting to apprechiate in value and will continue to do so

That was a nice race

The BMW driver had the most fun !

I still love the vw and bm 😍 just wana slap a dirty turbo on the r32 and watch it fly

Love It!!!

VTEC just kicked in yoo 💨💨💨

The title gives away the end results lol

Could the 147 win if it were manual?

dc5 is a great car!!

The Golf R32 seems capable to actually get the first place had it not been for miss shifts. It's TA record and best lap gives off some clue. 147 GTA is kinda strong in the top end.

Someone knows the song at the start of the vid?

3:24 side by sido 😀

Glad I have a DC5

that type R is light like a feather and race oriented ... no brake fade from lap to lap.

Alfa with the best lap time

What is the song at the start?

Yes! Get in!

who else raced these cars on Tsukuba on their PSP?

does anybody knows track from intro? and Honda is the best.

Why no 3000gt? It's a hatchback, right?

plz give music's name

Why was the 147 GTA an auto, but of a handicap there for Alfa

I’m envious of anyone who owns a dc5 type r I love my type S but i would love a type r

130i needed better tyres and lsd!

What's the song name?

Oh how the result would be different if the 130i had limited slip differential. Too bad it wasn't offered from the factory.
