These are my favorite series. Cheap/attainable daily drivers with simple mods
Wish you can find a 8th gen in decent shape now they are getting 240sx bad
@@mauricemotors8207 yup, the bmw’s are getting to that point as well. At least anything 2010-older
@@mauricemotors8207 so accurate unfortunately, especially the sedans. you can still find coupes that aren't too hammered
@@-NxFace- as well for g37’s you can find anything 08 and down for a better cheaper price but anything above starts going over $10k which is bullllshiiiit
@@oshenc1481 stg bro shits crazy out here
You guys are like the Canadian equivalent of mighty car mods, its great i wanna see a collab
No they're more wholesome
But way better
They are better because MCM is stuck Riced Civic & bikes
+1
They r not even close man come on
One of the best sounding civics, doesn’t sound like a fart can
Still sounds like a toy tho
@@Socialarchitectness well yeah but at least they understood how to make a car sound good for what it has instead of making it loud
this generation is civics is notorious for sounding like a fart can. i had one in high school which i cut the resonator cats n muffler off of and it sounded horrible
Seeing the way cars look everywhere else makes me super happy to live in Arizona
Texas, I hate how my car runs with the heat down here but man I'll take less power over rust anyday
Michigan here, feel their pain
I live in az and the paint on my 8th gen does not love it lol
I agree bro lol. I recently got a Type R and I'm living in Florida. My work was asking me to transfer to NY. Besides other reasons we won't get into, The horrendous road conditions and salt is enough for me to say no. It's not worth even trying to own a nice car there. It's going to get trashed. There are potholes 10 inches deep on a daily basis.
I own a 2009 Civic SI Coupe in that same beautiful orange color. I track it at PPIR here in Colorado and I love this car. Comfortable, looks good, fun, reliable, sounds great, revs past 8,000rpm and once you learn the Scandinavian Flick it's a complete blast on track.
@Shad0wscale I highly recommend it.
Scandinavian flick? could you explain
@@rex1800 “The Scandinavian flick, Finnish flick, pendulum turn, or Scandi flick is a technique used predominantly in ice racing and rallying. The technique induces oversteer using weight transfer to carry a vehicle through a turn while simultaneously reducing speed.”
@@CruiseControl1 Oh cool! thanks
K is the way. This is my first Honda and 6 speed. Learned stick in it. Mine is a 2011 and I bought it with 85k on it. Now I have the HR CAI, K-tuned header, full 3in exhaust, Hasport 62a mounts, Tein Flex Zs, Skunk2 RCAs, Acuity Stage 1 shift kit, and customed tuned. About to install a J35 TB soon. Plan on going SC'd in the near future.
J is the way. If not J then C series.
the 8th gen civic has got to be one of the best looking hondas ever made, period.
Eg hatch and the ek
AGREED!
There are So many others . 8 th gen needs all the plastic surgery to look attractive
I love my Fa5. It's nearly a perfect platform for you to build whatever you like. I'm looking forward to the completion of this build
you guys should get the hfp style side skirt and rear lip for it as well to complete the body mads and give the lower portion of the car a level appearane
I was thinking the same the rear looks really bare
I've thought about selling my 8th gen for 2 years now to get something different, but everyday I end up loving it again.
nice touches guys, always admire ur taste.
except the holes left behind for the spoiler
It's back! Yes all the overpriced JDM legends are cool but lets be honest no one got time for that been there done that
As I saw the thumbnail I said ..
That's exactly why I subscribe to this channel.😎
I love how they’re very humble with their mods it isn’t completely riced out and perfectly affordable while looking like it belongs a nice upgrade to look sleeker and honestly more fun :)
Ricing out Hondas in 2k22 is basically dead only people that do that do it on purpose at this point imo 😂😂😂
@@daytonrhine5167 well that’s the point is to do it on purpose because that person would want to… also it is not dead at all. Most people have “riced out Hondas”
@@daytonrhine5167 nigga ur old asf 💀
@@R4MIREZ. most people have riced out Hondas? No
@@lahey5826 what did you mean by this? But where I live I see it all the time
i own a 8th gen! glad to see another 8th gen getting some love. They are amazing cars.
Very excited for this build series. Going to be purchasing some of these parts for my own Si I think. That exhaust is a great deal and sounds perfect for a daily.
These make me want a lift for my garage. Then I remember I am a crappy mechanic. Love these short builds.
Can you guys please keep doing these quick and easy car builds? I’m a newbie to the car community and I love learning about how to do builds at a low cost. You guys are great
YESS!!
Low cost builds are fun to watch, but they fall apart as quickly as they are assembled.
This stuff is for show..
Most of the mods on the cheap wont make it through the year.
Whenever your using 3m tape on a car, well you know 😆
I have one of these cars and I love it! It’s fun to drive and really reliable. I would 10/10 recommend it to someone who wants a quicker car that’s still good on gas and doesn’t want to be under the hood every weekend
Watching that exhaust hanger removal tool in action was soooo satisfying....
That was WAY easier than trying to pry the damn thing the tradional way
Just did the Hybrid intake and a flashpro about a month ago, along with a lightweight flywheel and better clutch and what a difference. Having owned the car for 6 years and just now getting around to doing stuff like I previously mentioned, it’s like a completely different car
I bought Yonaka Exhaust for my 2008 Civic Si FG2 after watching this series. I am very happy with it. The first day I had it on I thought it was too loud, but then I just got used to it. It sounds and looks nice, 👍
Makes me miss my 2007 Habanero Red Civic Si. It was my first new car and what got me into modifying cars. Threw a Jackson Racing supercharger on it Vibrant catback and header (when they used to make them... bring them back!!!) Also had all the usual mods. 297whp of fun!
Mannnnn habanero red has grown on me. At first I was set on blue or white but settled with the red and never looked back
Excited to see what you guys do with it. I bought my 8th gen 4 door si in 2016 and it still runs strong after 123k miles. Such great little, fun, reliable cars
Turbo 8th gen checking in here.. Amazing car been boosted for 3+ years as my daily driver 😁😁
I have this exact same honda civic si with the same colour The guy who drives the car actually seen me working one day and I walked up to him and started talking to him from then I've been watching you guys all the time after that tbh
I’ve always loved that gen’s sedan’s backend and taillights a lot. Even more than any other Honda, including the S2k and NSX.
Idk why… it just looks so clean and sharp. I wonder if I’m the only one that thinks that.
I second the back end design, its just well executed and clean esp the taillights
The Japanese front and rear is even better
@@Gen10civic Their version is ugly on front. Our Version is close to Japanese version here in PH and it looks beautiful front to back.
To me the coupe looks way better The back fits it more, the rear of the sedan makes it look like 2 different cars
@@tyreseevans42 nah mate it looks well and sharp. One of the best looking Honda’s
Dude love the Si project build. Wish you guys did CSX type S because we didn’t get it in the states. So it would be cool to see a CSX build! Lucky Canadians lol
Ran into a guy with one while I was at the self-wash with my RSX Type-S; I was like: 'Huh, that sounds familiar!"
I had no idea you guys didn't get those in the US! They are alarmingly common here. A friend of mine had one that he did a full FD3 Civic Type R body conversion on!
we didnt get the SI in europe and me is always gonna be sad for it
Hearing the way you guys talk about the 8th Gen Si really makes me so happy
My first car was an 8th gen civic, I loved that car. I always wanted an Si so maybe one day when I have more garage space I’ll pick one up for nostalgias sake.
8th gen si😍definitely one of the best si ever Made
Wow I was not expecting that exhaust to sound so good. Really really nice.
Dang thats a clean orange civic 🥵
2:25 amazing what you can find in an engine bay of a Honda
The exact car I’m looking for in that exact spec 😭 neeeeed one
OMG...i had 2 FA5 sedans back in the say... both bought new... that K20 and transmission is just soo much fun!
I remember how great that exhaust note was even stock! Honda turned that exhaust beautifully
Redline Orange Pearl gang!!!!!! No big channels ever do 8th gen Si's. Bought a supercharged ROP Fa5 a couple months ago and its been the single most fun car I've ever owned.
very appropriate series for me so very excited to stumble upon this. My summer driven 2010 Si 2door, with 85K kms set me back about $10K CAN. But I love it all the same!
HOLY CRAP WHY AND HOW? HOW DOES THAT SOUND SO GOOD. Im in love with the sound that exhaust produced!
Love the mugen gen 8s ^^
And they come factory k20 :D
Favorite generation Civic Si. Naturally Aspirated, K20, LSD, Manual, and a useable 4-Door. Awesome!
I'm happy to see this build. Reminds me of when I used to work on my 8th gen civic (non-Si). I'm not too sure about the rear Mugen rep wing. The HFP front lip and rear lip really do a lot to change the look of these cars. I also think doing something about the chrome on the rear trunk (colour match?) of the refreshed 8th gen would clean things up in the back.
+1 on that’s statement, chrome accent was never a good choice on Honda’s part. That’s should’ve been exclusive to the csx
Word! , that new wing needs to go. Same with chrome details
Just got an 8th gen si and have been trying to decide what to do with it, finally some inspiration!
Price of the 8th gen just went up ⬆️
bro its been up over here in Cali
@@marccandrift that and they’re all destroyed
He said around 4k? Hahaha yeah let me see those 4k Si's. No way. Si's go for over 7k any day.
@@zurielvalladares5947 I'm sure they mean that those are the normal prices where there from. I'm not sure where your located but where Speed Academy is basically all cars are rusty and the buyers/sellers know that . Cars will always be cheaper in places like that . Im in Florida so every car is expensive here but the are clean chassis . Now clean titles thats a whole other story lol.
The cheapest si in my area has 180K miles and goes for 8K lmao.
Nice work guys! Those 8th gens are really great cars!
This is exactly the car I’m looking for for my father ! A stick shift 8th gen Si !! I’m definitely gonna enjoy this series !
All Si come standard lol
I really like my yonaka I bought for my 01 crv. You guys are the reason I bought it and my aem intake for it as well
Looking good so far and now onto part 2. I am excited to see what you all come up with. (:
Excited for this series!!
Redline orange has always been my favorite. Rare color though
That and habanero red on fa5 are hard as hell to comeby
its nice to wake up after a long week of work, and find this type of awesome content! love ur vids!
Love this. From Cape Town South Africa. Honda has a cult following over here.
I love your welding skirt!!
I love these quick budget builds
Might just be nostalgia talking but the 99-00 Si was my fave ❤️ love this series. Thx eBay motors.
I have the coupe version of this car. I have progress coilovers, progress rear sway bar, ktuned rear camber arms, Js racing roll center adjusting ball joints for the front, hard race bumpsteer adjusting tie rods, blox spherical bushings for the lca, balance shaft oil pump delete, replaced with the rrc oil pump from the FD2 type R, tractuff timing chain baffle, and rrc oem crank pulley which is smaller from the type r as well.
I also had to add s2000 rotors to fit the Js racing roll center adjusters. These rotors are the same as stock, except they sit 7mm further out. The rotors are DBA with stop tech street pads; the red box forgot the name. Also had to make custom spacers for the calipers and I run them with 12.9 strength bolts for added strength. Tires are Firestone Indy 500.
Thanks for doing this build. I’m definitely gonna add the yonoka exhaust. Don’t know about the intake since cops harass the hell out of us Cali enthusiasts. I’ve already been asked to pop my hood despite being completely stock motor wise.
Owned one of these FA5s for almost 10 years before trading it in for a 4 runner. Car was so fun and i still think to this day its one of the funnest cars to own for the money
Best episodes to see in your channel pimp my Ride
Installing CSX trunk would have been better than plugging those oem Si holes 😂
Yup , easily done with the trunk harness
Favorite channel is back at it
Best generation si
I had this exact color in my 09 FA5
I bought an 2007 Civic LX coupe for $1500 and am swapping a K20A in right now. New mount kit coming from Hasport for that soon. I also bought a 2007 Civic Hybrid Sedan for $1500 to daily. Bad batteries in that one, so swapping a K20A Type R engine in that. So another mount kit coming for that chassis too. I really love the styling of that car, so happy to see you guys giving them some love.
Always wanted an 8th gen SI sedan! Love it
3:55 Yep, I've been there. I had a Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V with a cold air intake I hydro locked which bent a valve and eventually threw a rod. Definitely learned from that.
One thing that most youtubers omit to mention is the shipping cost and (for us Canadian) duty fees, sometimes it cost more than the item itself.
They’re probably shipping their stuff to the US, and picking it up there 9/10 free shipping. I saw Dave there once lol right before the pandemic picking up goodies for their 2jz e46 m3.
True sometimes it doesn’t make sense , but if your willing to drive to the border you may save some coin
Great job guys looking forward to the wheels!
You guys deserve more subs this channel is 🔥 I am biased being living in Ottawa though lol
So simple yet so smooth very satisfying 🔥💯🙌🏽
Yes . Just yes!! This is what i want to see!!! 8th gen love!!!!!
When Pete says our Sawzall is MIA, what he really means is I took it home to work on my backyard deck rebuild and forgot to bring it back to the shop #sorrynotsorry
Ah Yes the Infamous, I'll barrow a tool and bring it back. R.I.P to all my 10mil Sockets.
Classic DP move 👌
Lol that # makes it real
But for future reference, Mugen is actually moo-gen rather than miu-gen. Like, actually.
Thanks so much guys! Can’t wait to see how it turns out 😎.
Your channel is so great guys I hope it picks up way more traction. I don't know what I can do to help
That exhaust sounds nice its also just what I need, it looks great also.....great job 👍 😎
So true on the 8th gen SI. One of the best looking for sure
Yessss a realistic build for most of us!
I bought a 2007 FA5 in 2011 fresh out of basic training with 70k miles for $15k. Today with around the same or even a little more mileage the price is exactly the same. It's got 205k on it now, but this past winter I pulled the engine out, bore/honed the block up to 86.5mm, put in forged JE pistons, Skunk2 Alpha forged rods, resurfaced/rebuilt the head with new valves, Manley dual valve springs, seals, plus replaced all of the engine seals and gaskets along with the timing/oil pump chains and tensioners. Got the Hasport motor mount set as the stock ones were pretty beat. Also replaced some other parts like the water pump, auto tensioner, a/c compressor and condenser. The K20z3 is a tank, it didn't necessarily need a full rebuild, but figured why not, especially wanted to beef it up to be able to handle a turbo. Taught myself how to do all of this and did everything by myself aside from the machining parts. Very rewarding experience and now I know how to fix everything with the car.
In hindsight I should have just built this car out from the beginning instead of buying an FK8 Type R as the K20z3 is a much more potent engine than the K20C1 right out the gate, and wayyyy cheaper to build too. Plus the z3 is port injection so upgrading fueling is much easier and cheaper. Put the Hondata direct injection fuel system in the Type R and that was $3k for just a ~24% increase in fuel flow.
That exhaust really sound nice 😍😍😍
Love this series!
Sweet Christmas... That's definitely a Canadian car.. or upstate NY car, with all the rust!
Same situation all the way down here in Maryland. It really sucks.
That exhaust sounds nice
Love this series! And Love the vids guys keep it up! ❤️
this is my favorite series.
great to see you guys giving the 8th gen some love, they're a fantastic daily for the money. i've had mine for 4 years now and it just continues to be a ton of fun. that Yonaka system came out of nowhere with that tone, i had no idea they sounded that nice.
How is gas mileage? I've got a Veloster N and my new job will have me driving 40 miles one way (which is nothing new to me), but I don't wanna put the miles on it. I've looked at 8th and 9th gen Si Civics to use as a daily as long as I can get over 30 mpg on the highway.
@@PacoRobbins so, if you're running typical all season treadwear tires you're looking at like 32-34 highway and 26 around town, assuming you drive calmly. I'm now running Michelin PS4S 225 widths on wider wheels and it's dropped my highway mileage by 2mpg now because they're obviously stickier. best highway MPG i ever saw was 34 at a 78mph cruise with the car fully loaded with people going up the east coast during an 11hr road trip.
@@scottyb226 perfect. I could handle that. Guess once I get going at this job and get a little saved I'll try to find one that isn't too beat up.
@@PacoRobbins awesome - but that's the key. they tend to be owned by a younger crowd that just rawdogs the hell out of them. you can avoid a number of issues buying from a knowledgeable or original owner regardless of mileage. def take your time on the hunt.
Dude i have the 09 si and it is also this color! Can’t wait to see more.
I love this series
Dave with the shutter shades and rubber ducky really got me
U guys have a dream job making cars cool
Love using the Fire Wrench! always works
Perfect video guys i like to see a lot of those transformation videos. Greetings from Greece
YESSS!!! I AM VERY HAPPY NOW I LOVE SI CIVICS
Just love these quick builds. Nice change of pace. Great job guys keep up the great work. Thx
I really love these videos! also good job on the editing and music!!!
One thing I used to do when I was younger was put small pieces of vinyl over the holes and it worked pretty good and you didnt have anything sticking up.
Yo that exhaust sounds hella nice!
I have learned so much from you guys. You guys are awesome ❤
Great choice to show a build
Love those orange hfp sedan Si, best color for the Si in my opinion.
Now this video is out my car is gonna be worth another 2k thank you speed academy
Same now we can sell for more than what we got it for
