Misha goes FULL SEND in our FL5 Type R!! 🤯 | Dream Automotive 

It’s was great fun, we’ll do it again soon!

@@Phil_Moni Completely stock engine other than a Pipercross Intake, Eventuri Turbo Tube and our prototype intercooler 👍

@volkz You'll love it, they are brilliant cars and fantastic to drive. I have owned a 911 turbo, Nissan GTR, M5 and M4 and this civic is by far the most fun and engaging car. On B roads it is in its element. I would also advise getting some advanced driver tuition to see where the level of grip is in a safe environment. You simply wont believe how much grip these things have. You'll drive as hard as you think the car can go round bends, then the instructor will tell you to push harder and it'll amaze you. I do believe that people who modify perfectly good cars are idiots. The car in this video will not be as fast as a stock one. Plus it is breaking because they have messed about with it. They have put in open filters, tried to mess with the ECU (which as they said didn't improve the car), changed the suspension etc. When you change suspension it throws all of the geometry and maths out of the window that Honda put into the design of the chassis. Even changing the brakes has a big impact (the size of discs, the exact point when the pads make contact on the rotor, exact calliper position... everything is carefully considered). Keep you car stock, enjoy it for what it is and have the peace of mind of knowing that Honda have your back via a warranty if things go wrong.

This is a classic schoolboy error; fitting a cone filter without considering the hotter air intake. If you want to fit a cone then you must fit a cool-air supply somehow and heatshielding is a good idea also. Surprised to see this from a supposedly reputable tuner tbh. Just goes to show that looks arent everything.

The Pipercross Intake won't be on our car permanently, we will have plenty other intakes spending time on the car as they release and we test!

Oil temperature of 130°C is very hot. Get an oil cooler fitted before you wreck your motor.

It was an incredible way to get some data to further our development efforts! We now know where the FL5 needs upgrades the most 😅

Thank you Dave! Laps with Misha are exhilarating to say the least, we're glad you enjoyed watching them. We hope you have an amazing trip to the Nurburgring next year, you'll love it!

We're glad you enjoyed the video and that Misha's laps will help you get some faster laps in 😎 Thanks for watching!

You're not wrong! Thanks for watching

If you'd like to monitor oil temperatures, we recommend investing in a P3 Gauge, an oil temp sensor and a sandwich plate to be able to install the sensor, especially if you're a track day driver! 🙌

I would like to hear more about that

Stock FK8 had really bad cooling issue. Fl5 should have better cooling than FK8, but I don't think it's adequate enough.

Hi Michael, thanks for watching! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the video. We will certainly be looking to develop an oil cooler kit for the FL5 in the near future. In regards to the seat covers, they are our own heavy duty covers. You can get them here: bit.ly/468rIAW

It was definitely a scary experience, but after the first lap I knew what to expect! 😅

There's not much other option in terms of intakes at the minute! We'll be testing more of them as they release over the next few months for certain. In regards of the intercooler, we're using our prototype intercooler which can be subject to change before official release! Going to the Nürburgring was certainly a great opportunity for R&D!

Definitely some of the faster laps our FL5 will do! We'll be looking to do an oil cooler soon 💪

Pipercross filter he has fitted.

We would have prior to the trip if there was one available however as the FL5 is such a new car, most manufactures are still developing/testing their parts! We'll definitely be putting one on soon

In terms of engine modifications, we were using a Pipercross Induction Kit paired with an Eventuri Turbo Pipe and a prototype Dream Intercooler. It is safe to say that we an oil cooler will be coming soon 😅

​@@DreamAutomotive oh thank you very much, I'm excited about the results with the oil cooler - your water temperature was also over 120 degrees.. maybe there also an upgrade necessary. Greetings from Germany! #TypeR

@@DreamAutomotive could the bigger intercooler be the reason for the water temp to go up?

Oil cooler incoming or your engine will be outgoing IMHO.

​@@GezzChanThat, the wrap possibly obstructing something and the hot air intake since he removed the factory bathtub to help mitigate engine bay heated air. There's a lot wrong with the car and he's not addressing any of it.

is wraped in green sparkled ppf .edited **

PPF with a green sparkle which makes it look amazing!

@@averagepal572 you are correct ,sorry i did not remember it was a ppf .

These guys are correct! It is indeed a colour change PPF film that turns a black car into this beautiful green colour! Thank you for watching

Tunable dampeners and turn them down, this car has tuned dampeners, on a stick tire it can help with weight transfer

Sorry the fl5 is better than the fk8, maybe not so much cooling but every thing is better, and I have owned a fk8 and now fl5....

As above I’ve had both, had no cooling or fuel surge issues but my car is completely standard. I had overheat issues with brakes and engine on the road!

​@@MC-id3fqI doubt you had an FL5

@Philslife84 anyone saying the fl5 is too expensive has not driven it, it's way more premium and it's real JDM, the paint quality to even how the boot closes is miles ahead....test drive it before shooting it down
