I think no ABS is better. It allows people to learn how to appropriately brake for certain circumstances. Of course, practice, practice, practice. Misha can drive these vehicles because he can learn on the fly very quickly. I'd also love to see another lap in this car in dry conditions, fresh tires and on the second lap where the tires are warm.
You definitely get better brake controll. But it also takes more concentration. My car only has ABS. Especially in wet conditions it can be very tricky to modulate the brakes correctly.
@@Barhamidali round 255 with drop in cams, but all stripped down, reinforced chasis, hard bushings, lightened flywheel and crank, quaife, 5.1 FD, long tube manifold, better cooling, megane mk3 brakes, etc etc
That Dutch guy in the Civic is an absolute and utter incredible driver. If theirs one to see in the ring with Misha, THAT is the one guy to see. That grey civic is an utter weapon!
As a JDM EP3 Type r owner, this is insane, sadly at Sydney Motorsport Park the 180Klm/H speed limiter kicks in at the 200 metre mark before turn 1 on the main straight, I've always wanted to go over 200klm/h in mine but unless I change the ECU it's not gonna happen. Why was the ABS removed? I would have though its safer to keep it. Loved the owners smile when you passed all the other cars. Love your videos! Cheers from an Australian fan!
That engine sound is nice, car seems quite capable. I remember people were complaining when the next gen Type R came out, and it was larger,heavier etc etc. Seeing this vid I kinda get what people wanted, and didnt get.
Even if the new ones are faster and bigger and "better". Can not beat the emotions, thrill and fun in an old lightweight Chassis like Civic or Integra with a B/H/K series engine. No infotainment, no frills, no beeps. Just pure and raw.
@@robsenb16 turbo type R feel dead by comparison, who cares about going faster, thats for low self esteem losers, nothing beats the driver engagement a finely tuned NA engine provides
Ep3 can take it so well, what a wonderful car 😎😎 I love that misha loves it, he drives crazy expensive cars and super cars and this honda civic still excites him!
The kilometer counter is 304,000 km but for the engine how can you say that, given that we don't know anything about that or I didn't understand everything that was said in English? O_o At the beginning of the video I see an engine that is very clean and with modifications which can also make you think that the engine has been rebuilt, or at least some parts rebuilt and therefore it doesn't have 304,000 km but much less.
@@clio2rsminicup please let me say something because I have a car and it's Japanise and it has got almost 300.000 Engine never rebuild never open always works on high revs everyday from problems nothing at all AND soo far no change chain water pump or whatever still no noise if I had European car I don't think it will be alive
@@chrispapachris3474 And? Above all, I see that apart from your Japanese you don't have much experience with other brands around the world to dare to make this generalization... Me? 34 years of passion for "small sports cars" and without any fundamentalism or racism, therefore owner in all brands and all countries including Japanese (Mitsubishi and Honda). Yes of course, there are Hondas which have very reliable engines and which reach 300,000 km without problems (you still have to look at their life, whether calm or on the contrary hard and rough, that changes everything), BUT as there it's everywhere, from all manufacturers around the world. For example? I currently have 3 examples at home which are not Japanese but ... French (strange and probably impossible for an uneducated and fundamentalist like you ^^). To make it short, I'm going to cite the oldest, a Renault Super5 Five from 1992 with almost 300,000 km (and on it I confirm body + engine too) which is still there for me on a daily basis, even after about 7 years ago on highway at 130 km/h a 5-2 instead of 5-4 on the gearbox! --- LESSON --- How are urban legends created? Firstly, thanks to the Internet and as always by uneducated fundamentalists like you who are very active, and who will spread it ever more. Listened to and read and above all believed by an increasingly large mass from generation to generation, of intellectual lazy people who will believe them without wanting to verify it elsewhere and by other cases. This is the typical example where we see uneducated fundamentalists like you asserting a fact about an engine about which in reality we know nothing. From my very long experience, I know that on cars modified like this pretty and efficient sport car here, we often see the engine which has been rebuilt from new, or at least partly from new. An engine which therefore doesn't actually have the distance that we read on the count meter but (much) less. Secondly by the owners themselves. Uneducated except for their Japanese cars and generalizing fundamentalists who will actively spread this urban legend on the Internet. Or owners who encounter problems with the engine of their Japanese car (as there can be these days with all the manufacturers in the world who manufacture engines on an assembly line by the millions) but especially don't come to talk about it or share it. on the Internet voluntarily! Because they are afraid precisely because of the weight of the enormous urban legend of indestructible engines, of being insulted by fundamentalists like you, who accuse them of being worthless and idiots responsible for the engine's problems because it is "impossible for a Japanese engine to have problems" eh. LOL for having to write this. So they will publicly shut up about these engine problems and will repair it or simply and sadly throw away the car themselves. The problems are never widespread and publicly known, the urban legend of supposedly indestructible engines will quietly persist... Well in fact you can find a lot of information on the Internet on problems with Japanese engines as with all other world manufacturers, by searching on small forums or groups specialized in cars, but it will never come to mind and to the desire of a fundamentalist like you, you should definitely not seek information that will destroy your beliefs. What? In addition to my 34 years of passionate ownership of small sports cars from all countries, I'm also a very passionate fan of trackdays (with a 100% trackcar on a trailer), on various circuits in the south of France and the north of Spain, almost every month for 10 years. Places where we test and really see the reliability of engines pushed very hard and within their limits. I've come across a lot of Japanese cars. Yes many fortunately don't have serious problems with the engine but as is also the case with engines from other manufacturers. On trackdays in Europe we especially see a lot of French, German, Italian, Japanese and even if a little less English hot hatches, especially Lotus, so sometimes with Japanese engines on the Lotus. ^^ But in addition to Lotus with Japanese engines, I have also seen Japanese hot hatches with engine problems sometimes small, sometimes big. Leaks on oil and/or cooling hoses, excessive consumption of engine oil due to a fault in a part or in the operation of the engine, etc. And even more sadly, up to 2 Japanese engine failures, including a Honda, yes a Honda even if that must surprise the uneducated fundamentalist that you are... Except that after that, the 2 owners drivers never spread and shared these sad and bad experiences with the majority on the Internet for the reasons I gave before. Apart from the few people present on the tracks that days and at that times, no one or very few people knew that Japanese engines had broken during a trackday. They then either repaired the engine or unfortunately scrapped the car themselves. Final result = The urban legend remains intact… QED
@@clio2rsminicup I had 180000 km on mine when I sold it, the engine didn't have any problems all the years, despite its high revs. You have to do the oil changes on a regular basis though, don't miss one.
Every time I watch your laps I hop on gt7 Your car control ability is genuinely mind blowing, i bet many of us dream of being a passenger for a few laps Also, that civic slaps!!
What a glorious lap. Seeing the engine rev from 7000 RPM up to 9000 RPM. What an amazing engine. Seeiing you take a corner and giving three times gas so the front wheels would not break out. Glorious run....
You are putting smiles on the owner's and our faces when you take that car to its limits despite the bad weather conditions! Great driving as always Misha and that's an awesome Honda :)
BEAUTIFUL Misha!!! One of the MOST thrilling laps!! I'm amazed about how fast you adapt to modified cars!! Big fan of your videos my friend!! Keep working hard! Your content is great! Please, Give it another try in dry conditions!!
This reminds me of my friend's full spoon eg build, no abs, screams till 9k. Feared for my life driving in the rain... maybe if I was as good as misha I would have managed lol! It's a blast to drive, these types of cars, very dialed.
You should try and get a drive in the 4th Gen Civic that appeared in the vid. They're much lighter and have double wishbones all round, very engaging cars (I may be biased) 😂
Dope! I didnt know they made LHD EP3 Type R’s, and I love seeing high mileage cars running strong! That induction noise is intoxicating, especially on the upshifts!
Misha out here looking like dori Dori!! On his best motoring vibes keeping them rpm’s in vtec! Big up! You actually interact with your comrades! Love it
Dunno what it is about a civic of pretty much any generation 2005 and before but they just make you smile when you drive them over 8/10 and they're so dawn rewarding.
Mischa is one, if not the GOAT in the car community! If I really "LOVE" cars he is the goat. Forget DDE our even Shmee that I get it. Mischa in youtube and car community is in another level. He is like Ayrton Senna. He will eventually be the king of Nurburgring
Passanger is a monster, how can he didnt goosebumps when he saw his car overtaking a porsche on a straight like that? Awsome car, awsome drive and as always, awsome video. Keep up Misha...
Perfect drive ever . Type r ep3 is different thing . Nice setup handling perfect with lsd . But misha please shift up more high rpm . This type r looks like can rev 9k and you are shifting 8k rpm . Kind of japan cae show it high rpm and everyone can hear the voice of pistons and valves ! Again amazing car amazing video , wish without rain … greetings form Turkiye .
2:38 YES, that's what we want to see :) To anyone who believes this can't make much of a difference btw., tried it, and it was an immediate night and day difference in corner entry and understeer. MUST do for a front engined car.
