👷🏻‍♂️ FL5 Type R Production Assembly @ Japan Yorii Automobile Plant - Manufacturing Look Video!

[Rainy4s]

Honda JP reveal the FL5 production line
K20c1 still build in Anna Engine Plant in Ohio
The transmission is built in Suzuka Factory(鈴鹿製作所), then The engine and transmission are transported to the Ogawa engine Plant(小川エンジン工場)by sea and land respectively.
Engine and transmission are combined and transported to Yorii Plant

In the video of 8:58, a JP media explain it in detail, translated by DeepL
"a special process is required for parts that are unique to the Type R. For example, the front suspension assembly that is unique to the Type R, and if you try to put it on a normal production line, it will interfere with other processes, so it is more efficient to extract this part and make it in a dedicated process. Looking at it, the front suspension assembly including the drive shaft is completed in 7 minutes of task time, as well as the Brembo calliper and large rotor. There are 4 specialists in 2 shifts, about 10 in total, and they have special assembly skills. It's a skill that feels good to look at."

I think it's going to be a good week for all of us! Honda wouldn't be sharing this if more details were not being shared.

Anyone else think it's pretty cool that they combine the engine that is manufactured in Ohio to the transmission that is manufactured in Japan? In terms of supply chain planning this isn't ideal and a sign that they are choosing their best for this car!

In this video you can see why a Japanese built car is far more superior than an American built one

 

[kaney1980]

A lot more "hand built" than I was expecting!

 

[Toprarnen]

They don't make videos like this for the base model, boys. If I get my Type R, I'll def be downloading this for the heritage aspect

Do we know for certain that every Type R engine is made in Ohio? - I heard him say so in the video, so I guess it is.

Probably the first point of failure then lol.
