I bought a HIGH MILEAGE Honda Civic Type R @ auction - PART 1 

🤞 Hondas are immortal 🤞😅

@@ShiftingMetal K20 Series engines are actually the peak of 4 cylinder engine technology. So engine technology actually peaked in the late 1990's... Certainly as far as BHP per CC and reliability combined. People turbo them up to about 400BHP with stock engines and they can run for years like that with no problem. Can you think of another 2.0L 4 Cylinder engine built in the last 25 years that is better than the K20 series? .. I can't.. & That means that the 4 cylinder petrol engine has not advanced at all in the last 25 years.

@@F4Insight-uq6nt The cluth and gearshift is the the ultimate manual gearshift too.

The Type R's K20 engines are overbuilt to handle a lot more power than the stock 198BHP. I've seen plenty of examples of Turbo'd or Super Charged K20's safely running 350 - 400BHP with stock engines for years. There's not many engines can handle x2 Power reliably without internal mods. The K20 series is I will claim the Best Stock 2.0L 4 Cylinder Engine ever produced & I doubt many people would argue with that.

@@F4Insight-uq6nt I think mines the N22A diesel engine it's on 206k miles and still incredibly strong I honestly thought it would have lost power from the mileage and age being as it's a 2008 but no pulls like crazy think I'm going to have to get it dyno'd see why it's actually running at but all 3 Honda's I've had have literally put the others I've owned to shame think I'm definitely staying with honda for life

It really is surprisingly good. Stay tuned to see how it turns out in upcoming vids :)

@@ShiftingMetal looking forward to seeing the progress. I'm on the hunt for an FN2, hopefully something with a few less miles 👍😂

My clutch is exactly the same as you described stiff to push down with a low bite point near the floor but its been like that ever since I've had it I brought it with only 53k on the clock & I drove another one with the same mileage & clutch was exactly the same again.....214k can't be the original clutch from new surly can it?

@@fireball8767 I've seen on one of the forums people adjusting the clutch pedal to have less travel. Mine does exactly the same and if you need foot right to the floor.

@@GeesDrive yes I think a lot are the same m8 I brought mine with only 53k on clock & it was like that & its still the same now at 93k four years latter....as I said I drove another 1 with 60k on the clock & the clutch was exactly the same as mine was....it never slips & goes in gear ok so I've just let it be...surly your clutch can't be the same 1 from new can it at 214k I would say that's pritty impossible or at least I've never known 1 to last that long anyway....

Nice! I’d be very tempted to do an oil and oil filter change and see how it goes!

@@ShiftingMetal Yeah I really need to get the oil changed... I can't be bothered with doing it myself these days. But aside from that apparently the cam lobes can wear pretty badly.

Making me feel good about my 123k FN2. If you want to keep it I’d go chain and tensioner (guides only need doing if it slipped) oil pumps a good shout too.

Why wouldn't you look after it? don't you like the car? Or do you like wasting your money?

Lol yours is definitely not the highest pal! My trumps that figure. At 254k

I’m due to visit Greece in a few weeks, maybe I should try to bring it with me?! 😅

Fingers crossed, I plan to keep it for a while now!

It’s definitely a lot of bang for the buck!

Hondas really are good for it but some people would see that number and be scared!

Really, where are you from?!

Probably Australia. Car prices are stupid at the moment. Especially with fuel prices astronomically high. People want 4cylinder run arounds 😊

Portugal! @@ShiftingMetal

Ιn Greece also.. Starts from 8 000£ up even 15 000£

Want to start an import/export business ;)

@@ShiftingMetal Problem is you have a wheel on a different side and changing it to European costs like ~4000£ in Poland. There are some ppl who drive cars here without this change though.

@@ThePutek94 is papers not a problem, I know you can get a registration plate in some countries with RHD.

Hopefully it will give us many more miles of fun yet!

Very true, also another reason it would make a good track car (if I crash it)! 😅

@@ShiftingMetal if your gonna get another one best to get a post April 2010 as they have limited slip differential like the championship white or mugen 200 editions makes a lot of difference in cornering

I'd love to do a supercharger, it's just the money!

@@ShiftingMetal They come in at a healthy price.... But would be worth every penny 👍

Oh god, that’s not very reassuring 😅

@@ShiftingMetal I'm sure the chain on yours has been changed with all those miles on

@@jamstersmith4625 🤞

I wouldn't bet on it unless theres documentation to prove it .am sure if it had been done there would be something .but then you should be able to hear the stretched chain at idle and about 1500 rpm

That's what you'd expect, right?!

Pretty damn close 👏

good guess! 🤔

Just done 200k kilometers in my civic and it just sees the service garage once a year. Hondas are immortal lad

200 kilometres/120 miles is low mileage for a k20. My father's is 400,000 miles + that's 643,000 kilometres.👍🏻

Plenty of life left in this one then! :D

​@@ShiftingMetal is it still running?

close eh
