The 2015 Civic Type-R (FK2) was a Nürburgring lap record holder (briefly), and I passed it up to buy my 2015 Seat Leon Cupra 280. Did I miss out?

Coming back to this video for the 5th time maybe, but this time being a owner of a fk2 ! Feels amazing!

Of course, it is a BMW. I have an FK8 Type R and a 318d would not move over, floored all the way to 180 before he decided it not worth it and moved over :)).

That was a true review, but great job! Watching others driving fk2 on the ring there is no doubt its another level over others. I this example looked seriously good fast.

Damn, that guy in his E36 Shoebox went "full battle mode" , probably thought you wont stand a chance in your "Reiskocher". At least you waved nicely goodbye to him. :D

@samwilde595 Год назад

Funny watching this now having been an owner for 2 years, I’ve also had mine remapped. I agree with the looks it’s divisive, but I have some many people come and talk to me and want to know about it. I normally get bored of cars after a year or two but I’m falling more in love with it the better I get as a driver it’s an animal.

@hibanabanana863 3 года назад

Really pleased to hear you're still rocking your Cupra. I remember watching the lap videos when you picked it up. Will it make a reappearance on the channel?

@stefan_drives9462 3 года назад

Rich is so right, people and reviews always judge over the look. The car is great. There are only a handful of FK2 Tracktools because it’s not so easy to get track orientated parts. And the water and oil temps get really high if you drive it faster + the ECU setup is very restrictive and pulls a lot of power when hot.

@TheTechnoaddict 3 года назад

Wagner intercooler helps a lot with intake temps. Cooling can be upgraded if necessary. But the amount of track parts is low.

@ronshowsyou2 3 года назад

As a standard car it works brilliant...but you know how it is to stretch the limits. Problems are waiting in a row to be served.

My previous Ringtoy was an Ep3 type R, and I'm looking to buy a FK8 type R, but if I can't, I will definitely going for this model. Thanks for this video an your return on it.

Now try the FK8, it's even better! Absolutely love this car!

@BTGDale 3 года назад

That's the plan!

@inferno66750 3 года назад

Very nice test and very nice car. But I'm not objective as I've also own an FK2 ^^ You don't see them so much as they are pretty rare because it was produce for only 1,5 years at the EOL of the 9th Gen Civic. And not available on USA (and Japan maybe but not sure), so not many companies worked on aftermarket parts. Mine only have steel brake lines, StopTech brake pads, RBF 600 fluid, Invidia Catback. I'm looking to get some front camber adjuster, I order to put just a little more camber. It's a front heavy car so on track I've an outside tyre wear issue (espacially with PS4S tyres as the sidewall is soft)

@TheMrChugger 5 месяцев назад

Not liking Type-R's because of the looks is mental, they look amazing. I've got the exact same one as this

@typeRF20c 3 года назад

I'd love a type r estate. Like vag do. But the Cupra is very good looking car.

@onmytravells9429 3 года назад

What are your thoughts on the old fn2 Dale?

@labatmobile8326 3 года назад

@The_Touring_Jedi 4 месяца назад

Type R FK2 has identical interior same as every 9th generation except engine and seats. Same interior as Civic Tourer also.😂😂😂 But FK2 is a blast to drive and much stiffer then any other.

@MrAletube 3 года назад

I didn't catch the first mod he mentioned. What was installed on the front and rear? Thanks

@juggy666 Год назад

It was Dixcel brake pads.

@FreestylerAlbert 3 года назад

Can you test it on really hard braking? usually the rear moves around, some people complain about it.

@BTGDale 3 года назад

I was braking pretty hard, and it didn't ever feel dangerous.

@fastmusicalcarz Год назад

I have a fk2 r 400 hp stage 2. Put red stuff pads in it and they transformed the braking. I have found under really hard braking the rear can start to feel a little light sometimes. However this also depends on the speed you're slowing down from. I drive the wheels of mine and can't wait for more power.

@stuntman591 3 года назад

Do you really recommend Cup 2's on the Cupra? I've just kept the P Zeros on mine, does it make such a difference Dale?
