Stereo Upgrade Civic Type R & What Wrecks My Head!! - Stavros969 4K 

I really loved this video - an honest and very kind (user)review. Perfectly edited, top notch video-, and audio quality. Congratulation Stavros, you did a great job, keep it up! :)

I must say all of your videos are top quality and very very very well edited. You deserve a lot more recognition. Keep it up dude :)

Thx for an informative video. You are a nice man it shines thru and made watching more enjoyable.

Excellent Video bud, because you showed the cars Bad points from a second hand buyers perspective and you were completely honest and knew a lot about the car also you told the buyer what they need to know about the upgraded stereo and this is very important in this day and age. also great camera editing Good man.

Enjoyed your posting sir. Well done.

A very good video, Great job mate

I got 19inch tires are very thin but have no issues with the ride but on pot holes can leave marks on rim.

Very nice video, may I know where you got the new din cover??

Great video mate. I'm lucky to get 30mpg I average 27mpg but I use VTEC a lot lol. Mine revs to 8600 with its raised rev limiter and with regular oil changes using good oil it's no big problem. There's something special about type r's and VTEC that other cars can't replicate ( for me anyway)

Super video

Such a beaut car! I just have the SI model and the only fault I have is a persistent squeaky clutch, so annoying but nothing a bit of grease can't sort every couple of months.

I'm sorry mate but tax and insurance is not the car's problem. The Irish government are to blame for the price of your tax and they are also to blame for your insurance because insurance companies here have been going wild with their quotes and the government are rolling over and doing nothing about it. My insurance is almost 1,000 euro on a 1.4 corolla.

Beautiful Car

When the I vetec kicks in sounds very humble 😀 I just got a mk 8 07 I like the car quite a bit I will next pickup the pioneer system you have but what model is it?

very nice car

@Stavros969 how did you manage to tint the rear window on the civic underneath part ?

Shed some light on what sterios are available

How do you access the functions that were previously there?

The "beep" is morse code for letter H- Honda. I like it in mine 😉

I also had sticking calipers on both my ep3 and fn2. Both times bought second hand ones off eBay for around £40 a time, brand new they're expensive as you paid.

I have water in the boot at the moment, any idea what sealant they used

Yep, had sticking brake calipers, sticky reverse linkage and a leaky boot (& lights)! Solid car though

Does this car always has link issues? Or just the car you owned? (possibilities of car accident perhaps?)

Hi I'm wondering if you could help. My mates car is playing up. The dash clock has screen burn and the lights go off on the radio and the speakers make a loud pop now and again. Is it the clock at the top that needs replacing.

cool video man ! Do the stereo controls on the steering wheel still work with the after market stereo ? by the way same issue with the car tax in Greece as well , at least insurance is half of what you pay.

Where can I got this stereo cover sir..I'm from Malaysia

I swear i taX and insure mine for half that in Scotland, comes in under £70 a month, that's unreal!

That's a similar head unit that I want to fit into my FN2.

Changing an fm2 ice is like building a frokkin ark.

Does the new stereo affect the sat nav?

I've the same head unit in my Alfa GT, but I went for the MVH variant. M meaning mechless, as in having no CD/DVD slot. Now my car's a lot less cluttered with all those CD's gone out the glovebox. I concur though. It is a great piece of kit..!

Get a short shifter fitted. Shorter gear change. I love mine 👍

where did you buy stereo???

Got myself a type r with the 19s, they are not as bad as you think :)

Have you checked the paint on the roof at the front where the rubber meets the windscreen? Mine had blemishes and bubbles in the paint, which I was told was an indicator of rust coming from the inside. Turned out to be true and the culprit was a design flaw in rubber between the roof and the front windscreen. The rubber was retaining water. Ended up getting the whole car resprayed by Ace Autobody. It just would have looked odd with only the roof getting treated with a brand new coat and the rest all faded.

I have a 2008 MK8 and want to change mine. Give me some links

If the car is hard to get into gear you need to change the gearbox oil, the type r is very sensitive to rough oils.

Do you still have this car in 2021?

Hi Stavros! I'm thinking of buying the same unit for my FN2 and would really like to know if the steering wheel controls still work with it. Great videos by the way! Cheers!

Hi! Nice vidéo! I just fitted an after market head unit in mine, with the connects2 kit. Do you use the same? If so, does it maintain the dimming fonctionnality of the ac/clock screen? Mine doesn't and it's really annoying! thanks

How much cost that + work?

Where i found this ?

Great vid... were can i get the head unit from? Many thanks

hey !! how did you tint your rear window the lower section ?? no one seems to be able to do it ?? ta

Headunit is nice , but sod selling that with the car tho. I would be having the original on standby to put back.

Just bought a Honda Civic type s 2011 always wanted one but was a ford man then my wee fez s1600 got killed by a women driver 😠would have got the r but my insurance is killing me just now am dying to start modding it and will be getting one of those stereo systems but do you were is the best place to buy mods for them. Didn't no if I was going to tint the windows but defo now looks smart on your car and 19s your spot on to big uncomfortable murder on pot holes 18s am putting on mine. Nice video anyway man one of just a few I have seen about the Honda. Gave me good information 👍🏽

Hello bud, where'd you get the facia panel fitting from? The ones on eBay are missing air vents. I see your facia panel has air vents. Could provide some more information please. Cheers

Did you manage to get the stereo buttons on the sweering wheel to work on your stereo unit? I installed an JVC modell whit all the connectors and the special one for the steering wheel but nothing happens?

Very nice car, but I love my alfa :)

For that price that you've paid for the caliper with a bit more you could have upgrade the front breaks

I really want to do this but buying a stereo system with no great feeling volume knob seems like a terrible decision.

Did you do your wheels grey? Also running a black FN2 on grey factory rims :D

In Estonia 2008 fn2 insurance is 100 euros year and extra insurance 300 euos

Anyone changed the headunit in one with sat nav built in all help welcome

I get 25mpg. that extra 5 you need a motorway for. My car had 19" wheels. It didn't make it ride much worse. It made the understeer worse. The biggest problem was Tyre price's. They're £160 each. I bought smaller wheels. I bought four new tyres for less than two fronts.

I couldn't find the aux input in my fn2 it's a 2008 and has a standard stereo and it has a cd/aux button

Well, I am 28, I drive a Type S 1.8 and my first year insurance was 2500 Pounds. 2500 for 1 year !!!!!!! Crazy yeah, but this car is in my heart. I would pay even double, I don't care, I just want to drive it and enjoy it!

Where did you get the cluster from that the new radio sits in ?

when i bought my fn2, i wanted 1 with all the tools as standard, so i got an fn2 gt with sat nav and hft. after 6 months or so i wish i had a normal gt, the extra screen is great, and looks good but that is where it ends. you get so much more if you buy a normal gt and then add the double din like stav did. stav you say 30mpg?!?!?!? i wish buddy, around town im at 21mpg, motorway say about 27, although when i went down 2 silverstone last year for the gp, in an average speed camera zone of 40mph for about 20 miles, i did see 39mpg. having said that, that is with some mods, milltek non res and a hks rsk intake. but hey i didnt buy a type r 2 worry about fuel costs. can i ask stav, your rear windows are tinted? how did you tint the rear plastic window beneath the spoiler? most places near me wont touch that screen. keep up the good work bud!

can you still alter the clock settings on the top display?

are you still going to the c+c on Sunday Stavros ?

You didn't need to change the calipers. Just get them refurbished or do it yourself and grease the sliders and put a new pisten seal kit in. Fraction of the price of new calipers.

Glove box or trash can? 😂

how did you tint the lower portion of the rear window, the plastic part below the spoiler. From what I've read it can't be tinted.

Buy one, and a trailer, race it instead :D

Im looking to buy one of these next week, do you guys think its worth it? I will also put that screen in instead of the boring original stereo. Ofc I will have to test drive and see for myself but im quite excited about the vtec etc and it will be my first car aswell (I dont know much about cars overall). But here in Sweden its not that expensive to insurance and for the tax, its actually the cheapest to insure apart from the other cars ive been looking at

€710 to tax it?!?! Wooooooow thats unreal

dear sir, can I have link for that stereo please?

is any one know how to tint the lower back window it is plastic need help

no way this guy is complaining for a £700 insurance for a 2litre, YOURE SO LUCKY

the annoying beep is mors code of leter H :)

Tax is too high in Ireland

Looks so old now lol

500 is still alot of money just for setrio maxs i will pay 200

I don’t like the other stereos.

I couldnt believe how much tax you pay for a Type R 705 euros. Here in the UK its only £295!!!

The reverse thing, that's a HONDA problem, every fucking Honda that has the Reverse in that position does that. Had a shitty 1.4 in 2000's and it did exactly that, but it barely fits annoying, just a dumb trait of apparently all hondas.

I don't understand like this guy for example, he bought a sports car and complains that it's loud and stiff? Come on late, just drive a Prius then... That's only thing I can say...

I'm a civic fan but wtf is this Irish goggle eyed leprechaun on about hehehe...

Dam tax insurance you gotta leave that country migrate somewhere else let the government live there by themselves

its the goverment ,make them two exspensive to run and no one will buy them.there,e do it with diesels next,getting you closer to that piece of shit electric car

sell the car and the trackie and buy a focus rs
